Opening Summer 2025 – 505 W Grand St, Springfield, MO

When construction wraps up later this summer, The Knoll will introduce 30 brand-new apartments to Springfield’s West-Central neighborhood, giving Missouri State University students and young professionals a fresh option that’s close to campus yet designed for everyday comfort.

From Groundbreaking to Grand Opening

What began as an empty lot has been transformed into a three-story community featuring a thoughtful mix of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom homes. Crews are already installing fixtures and finishing surfaces, keeping the project on track for first move-ins before fall semester. Valiant Group—known for breathing new life into under-served corners of Springfield—envisioned The Knoll as a place where residents can study, relax, and connect without sacrificing style or convenience.

Smart Floor Plans for Every Lifestyle

-Studio (≈ 550 sq ft) – An open live/sleep layout with a full kitchen, desk nook, and walk-in closet that houses the in-unit washer & dryer—ideal for minimalists or grad students.

-One-Bedroom Standard (≈ 700 sq ft) – A practical layout that separates bedroom and living space while maximizing natural light.

-One-Bedroom Plus (≈ 760 sq ft) – Everything in the Standard plan plus a balcony or patio and an extended dining alcove—perfect for couples or anyone who loves a morning coffee outdoors.

- Two-Bedroom (≈ 1,050 sq ft) – Split-bedroom design with two full baths, oversized closets, and a central living-dining zone—tailor-made for roommates or a work-from-home setup.

Amenities That Make Life Easier

- In-unit washer & dryer in every apartment

- Stainless-steel appliances paired with stone countertops

- High-speed fiber internet live on move-in day

- Central heat/air plus ceiling fans

A Walmart Neighborhood Market sits across the street for late-night snack runs, while downtown cafés, Jordan Valley Park, and Springfield’s nightlife are a quick bike ride away. Whether you’re catching a class, meeting friends for coffee, or unwinding in the park, everything you need is within a mile.
