Community Development
St. Joe Uptown- St. Joseph, MO
In November 2006, Pioneer Group, Inc. and team were selected as Master
Developers for the St. Joe Uptown (downtown) Redevelopment Project. The
project, as presently laid out, consists of 105 residential units, including
single-family homes, single-family cluster homes, town homes, cottage units
and approximately 18 Mansion homes on approximately 10 acres. The project
also will include the rehabilitation of a former Cancer Treatment Center on
the site that will become the Community Center, including a swimming pool,
a day care center and a spa. The project will feature parks and ample green
spaces. Pioneer Group has used its experience in creating a harmonious
working relationship, allowing ample input in this development by all
stakeholders (property owners, businesses, local governments and local citizens)
in creating a comprehensive effort.
Community Redevelopment- Riviera Beach, FL
Because of Pioneer Group’s nationally known reputation of
providing affordable senior and workforce housing plus
historic preservation, it was recruited to play a major
team role in the redevelopment in the community of Riviera
Beach, Florida. Providing safe, secure and modern housing for
seniors and working families will involve the construction of
for-sale single family units, town homes and rental affordable
units for seniors and families. Consistent with Pioneer Group’s
commitment to a green environment, this project will include
parks and green spaces in redeveloping this spectacular
recreational and residential community. Pioneer Group’s
experienced principals are working closely in conjunction
with local government leaders to ensure the community
participates in this major effort.
North East Jr. High School- Kansas City, MO
Historic Preservation is one of Pioneer Group’s niche
market roles. The North East Jr. High School is a historic
icon in the Kansas City, KS African American community.
Recognizing that the redevelopment and restoration of this
historic structure could be the spark that could ignite major
community development, Pioneer Group is utilizing it’s expertise
in saving the historic structure, and is partnering with a local
church (owners of the structure). It is the intention of Pioneer
Group to create a unique setting for senior housing apartments.
Historic classrooms will be restored and redeveloped into 43
apartments. Ironically, former students have inquired about
living in rooms they once attended as school children.
Pioneer Group is working with local government leaders in
improving surrounding infrastructure and further community
development in the area.
