Summit Homes, a unit of Clayton Properties Group, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate, is expanding operations into the Des Moines, Iowa area and has hired Jason Evans as the Des Moines division manager.
Summit Homes has built more than 2,000 homes since 2002 in its home market of Kansas City.
“We love being Kansas City’s hometown builder. Our expansion into Des Moines allows us to offer our unique home building experience to a new group of homeowners while keeping with our Midwest roots. We are thrilled to have Jason Evans on our team to lead the expansion efforts,” says Zalman Kohen, COO for Summit Homes.
Evans, previously of Grayhawk Homes of Iowa, has nearly 20 years of construction experience along with a degree in architecture from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities.
Construction is underway, and 18 home sites are now available in the popular Waukee subdivision, Stratford Crossing. Initial homes are part of the Summit Lifestyle Collection and are expected to be in the $275,000 to $350,000 price range.
Stratford Crossing is only the beginning of Summit’s Des Moines plans. An additional 28 home sites in Stratford Crossing are secured, and new development sites are scheduled for 2020 and beyond.
