East Village is a 17-acre mixed-use development located on the southeast corner of 87th Street between I-435 and Renner Boulevard. The development will offer residents, employees, and visitors the opportunity to enjoy restaurants, retail shops, and green space, all within a walkable urban fabric.
The first building designed by GBA Studio Four, consists of 383,997 sf within a seven-story structure. The building, featuring brick stone and awnings, and outdoor gardens, will house 66 residential condominium units totaling 138,000 sf on the top four floors. An additional 31,500 sf on the first floor will be devoted to retail space, with parking provided on the second, third, and a portion of the fourth floor.
The design is intended to create a traditional, walkable, mixed-use community while incorporating the modern spaces, amenities, and ample parking expected by today’s user.
Varnum Armstrong Deeter, LLC is developing Lenexa City Center East Village.

When completed, Lenexa City Center’s East Village will include eight buildings totaling more than 600,000 sf. First-phase infrastructure construction was completed in 2006 and building construction is well under way on the first three buildings.
