McBride Homes Celebrates Groundbreaking of Progress Pointe in Ste. Genevieve

The City of Ste. Genevieve and McBride Homes Excited to Begin Work at Progress Pointe 

STE. GENEVIEVE – McBride Homes, Missouri’s largest homebuilder, celebrated a major milestone on Wednesday, November 4, with the official groundbreaking of Progress Pointe, its first new home community in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. McBride leadership was joined by city officials and community members to commemorate the start of this exciting 137-home development.

A Historic Partnership Brings New Housing Opportunities to Ste. Genevieve

The groundbreaking marks an important step in expanding housing opportunities in Ste. Genevieve through a unique partnership between McBride Homes and the City of Ste. Genevieve. The project represents a shared commitment to bringing quality new construction homes to the area while supporting long-term community growth.

“This is an exciting milestone for McBride Homes as we officially break ground on our first community in Ste. Genevieve,” said Jake Eilermann, CEO of McBride Homes. “We’re proud to partner with the city to bring new housing opportunities to this historic community, and we look forward to welcoming future homeowners to Progress Pointe.”

City Investment Supports Housing Affordability

The City of Ste. Genevieve established a bond initiative to support infrastructure improvements for Progress Pointe and repairs to existing city roadways, helping make the development possible.

“Affordability was our biggest hurdle, so the city stepped up with a $10 million bond initiative to cover infrastructure for the new 137-home development and repair a majority of our existing roadways. That investment lowers costs for the developer, and those savings can be passed along to home buyers,” said Mayor Brian Keim in a press release. “Having Missouri’s largest homebuilder invest in that vision validated years of work. This was a first-of-its-kind partnership for our city, and we’re proud of what we built together.”

Three Distinct Villages at Progress Pointe

Progress Pointe features three villages—Commons, Manors, and Estates—offering a variety of ranch, 1.5-story, and 2-story floor plans designed for different lifestyles and budgets. Homes start from the $180s, with options ranging from charming cottage-style homes to larger designs.

The community will also feature walking trails, a playground, and common ground, with convenient access to historic downtown Ste. Genevieve, local shopping, dining, and schools.

Homebuyers at Progress Pointe will be able to work with a dedicated, certified Design Consultant at McBride’s award-winning Design Studio to personalize their new homes by selecting flooring, countertops, cabinets and more.
