Oldham Village

Project Overview

Emery Sapp & Sons (ESS) served as the infrastructure partner for Oldham Village, a large-scale commercial redevelopment project in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. The project included the full demolition of an existing car lot, building foundations and adjacent roadways, followed by the construction of new commercial building pads, upgraded infrastructure and a newly constructed retention pond to support long-term site drainage. Today, Oldham Village is positioned to create new economic opportunities for surrounding businesses while enhancing connectivity within the region.

Located within a busy mixed-use area, the jobsite was surrounded by active businesses, residential neighborhoods, churches and a city park. Throughout construction, coordination and communication were essential to minimizing disruption for nearby stakeholders. ESS crews carefully navigated tight site constraints to maintain safe and efficient access around active buildings and parkland, ensuring the project progressed smoothly while respecting the surrounding community.

The project team successfully addressed several complex challenges, including utility relocations, extensive rock excavation and coordination with multiple city departments. Proactive communication with stakeholders, subcontractors and local businesses proved critical in overcoming these obstacles. ESS partnered closely with an external subcontractor to complete utility upgrades, facilitating underground duct bank installations and relocating existing utilities to accommodate the new commercial lots.

Sustainability and efficiency were also key priorities. Crews repurposed existing on-site concrete and asphalt into aggregate base material, reducing hauling costs and minimizing environmental impact. This innovative approach, combined with strong collaboration, allowed ESS to deliver a high-quality project that meets the needs of both the client and the community.

In total, the project delivered approximately 175,000 cubic yards of earthwork, 150,000 square yards of asphalt pavement removal, more than 10,500 tons of new asphalt pavement and over 18,000 linear feet of underground utilities. Through thoughtful planning and community-focused construction, Oldham Village now stands as a transformative development that is helping shape the future of Lee’s Summit.
