Factory-built homes are going up on once vacant lots in KCK's Klamm Park neighborhood.

The homes are CrossMod homes, built off site by Clayton and set on permanent foundations. The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas is working with HUD, local developer Fran Sutton Homes and Clayton on the project, which Clayton says is part of a broader UG effort to turn bank-owned vacant land into new housing.

The design:
🏠 Clayton's single section CrossMod home, the Cypress floor plan
📐 990 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms
🛣️ Front-loaded layout built for narrow city lots
💵 Clayton says single section CrossMod homes are expected to run around $200,000 in most markets, including land
🏦 Eligible for conventional financing through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs, per Clayton

Clayton first showed the Cypress on the National Mall at HUD's Innovative Housing Showcase in September 2025. The first CrossMod homes in Klamm Park were unveiled with a ribbon cutting in March 2026.

I’m in today inspecting two amazing projects that are helping with and rehabbing existing buildings. Instead of tearing down our history we are adapting the amazing from the early 1900’s and assisting with housing. I walked the old Lincoln School in Salina. Originally built in 1917. I love seeing these old buildings repurposed. Hutton has been working tirelessly in this building and the one directly across the lawn to get them ready for new families. This is a project with and Tony Krsnich at the Flint Hills Holding Group.
