The Faxon School is a two-story structure built in the Classical Revival style. Clad in red brick on a stone foundation and accented by a Flemish Cross parapet, the building exudes a certain regal style and enjoys a prominent position in the Squier Park neighborhood.

The project was funded by a unique public-private partnership that delivered millions in historic tax credits and affordable housing tax credits. Our team managed the tax credit consulting from start to finish in order to improve the development’s financial viability.

As we’ve seen across the country, historic school buildings are a popular and efficient choice for rehabilitation into modern apartment complexes. The Faxon School was no different. Our extensive renovations preserved many of the building’s original features, such as hardwood floors and tall windows. Many units even feature original blackboards.

Now completed and fully leased, the Faxon School offers Kansas City seniors a much-needed affordable housing option in one of the city’s most peaceful neighborhoods. Residents and neighbors alike love the time, energy and detail that went into bringing the Faxon School back to life.
