When Jason Lewis returned to Kansas City in 2001 to work for Arklyn Homes, he became the fourth generaltion of his family to become a homebuilder. He joined his mother, Marilyn Lewis, who co-founded the company in 1986 with her brother. He also took on the challenge of building quality homes at an affordable price and delivering them on schedule.
Jason also followed in the footsteps of his grandfather Glenn Bolling, his great-grandfather Ira Bolling and his great uncle Howard Bolling. That trio built almost 40 per cent of the new homes constructed in the northland during the 1950's through the early 1970's,

Then Arklyn Homes took over the tradition of building quality entry level homes by constructing over 650 houses in the Clayton, Clayton Meadows and Clayton Meadows West Subdivisions between 1986 and 1999. The company was building duplexes and new homes in Platte City when Jason returned.

Jason is a graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia with a degree in business management. He first worked for Arklyn Homes as an apprentice carpenter building decks and later as a rough-in carpenter framing new homes during the summer. Since returning to the company, he has built new homes in the Estates of Platte Valley, Park Ridge, Granada Oaks, Parkview Manor, Thousand Oaks and Briarcliff West subdivisions. Now the 54 single family home sites in Bristol Park South are his primary responsibility.

Featuring homes with 1700 to 2400 square feet of finished living space, Bristol Park South has homes priced from the $170's to the $230's. The area will soon have a swimming pool and walking trails are also part of the plan.

Jason took over as president of Arklyn Homes this spring. He is also a member of the Greater Kansas City Home Builder's Association. He and his wife Rebecca live in Platte County with their two golden retrievers.
