Shawnee Bend Development Company
Founders Thomas Biggs, Lorraine Perkinson, and Dale Perkinson circa 1998
The Villages at Shawnee Bend, a one-of-a-kind ~800 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— President of Shawnee Bend Development Co and 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.
