Three Kansas City area apartment tenant unions will launch Tuesday in what KC Tenants says will be the largest such launch in the region.

Tenant unions at Park Square Apartments, at 1051 Basie Pl. and Paraclete Manor Apartments at 4725 Prospect Ave are in Kansas City. Sage Crossing Apartments at 600 NE Howard St. is in Lee’s Summit and will be the first tenant union in the area.

The three apartment properties together represent over 476 units in total, according to a KC Tenant news release, owned by Capital Realty Group, a New York based company. All of them have a majority union, according to KC Tenants, which is when more than half of the occupied units are represented.

No additional information on the ownership was available Monday afternoon. KC tenants will announce more information Tuesday morning.

This comes about a year after nearly 60 residents and activists stood outside Quality Hill Apartments and to announce their formation of a tenant union they said was the largest in the city.
