The real estate developer Cavan Companies announced that it has closed on land for The Bungalows at Prairie Hills, a planned 154-home single-story Build-to-Rent (BTR) community in Papillion, Nebraska. The project will be the company’s third development in the Omaha metropolitan area.

Construction is expected to begin in May on a site encompassing approximately 16 acres. When complete, The Bungalows at Prairie Hills will feature 154 detached rental homes with one-, two-, and three-bedroom floorplans ranging from approximately 683 to 1,389 square feet. The community will include 104 detached garages, a clubhouse, fitness center, and other shared amenities.

The Prairie Hills development follows Cavan’s other Omaha communities, The Bungalows at Whitehawk Lake and The Bungalows on Honeysuckle in Elkhorn.

“We’re seeing strong demand for housing that sits between traditional apartments and homeownership,” said Norm Miller, CEO of Cavan Companies. “Markets like Omaha are ideal for single-story Build-to-Rent communities because residents want the space and privacy of a home without the barriers of ownership.”
