Shawnee Bend Development Company
Founders Thomas Biggs, Lorraine Perkinson, and Dale Perkinson circa 1998
The Villages at Shawnee Bend, a one-of-a-kind ~700 acre luxury home development, was conceived in 1996 (opened in 1998) by Shawnee Bend Development Co Master Developers Thomas Biggs, Lorraine Perkinson, and Dale Perkinson. The three visionaries bring a combined experience of over 200 projects in 33 cities. Their vision for lake was to create a class-leading community with a harmonious blend of wildlife habitats and exceptional living.
The property’s natural beauty, with ~10 miles of shoreline, and its ideal location at the Lake have attracted individuals and builders from across the nation to craft custom dream homes ranging from $1 million to $17 million. Consequently, The Villages at Shawnee Bend stands as one of the most valuable neighborhoods in the state of Missouri.
The growth of The Villages continues through Jonathan Biggs — the son of Master Developer Thomas Biggs. He is advancing the Founders’ vision while remaining dedicated to preserving the property’s natural beauty and community experience.
