Building Opportunity: The Story Behind Union Crossing
April 15, 2026
Communities do not just happen by accident, says Pam Kavanaugh Edwards. The Dunes Realty Agent says, communities are built with hard work, teamwork, and a clear plan for the future. And that is exactly what is happening at Union Crossing, North Sioux City, South Dakota.
Located between Dakota Dunes and North Sioux City, Union Crossing is a planned community right along the I-29 highway.
“Union Crossing is exactly the kind of development our community needs right now, Edwards says. It brings high-quality, affordable housing to an area that continues to grow, while still giving buyers access to everything Siouxland has to offer."
A Focus on Affordable New Construction
The main goal of Union Crossing is to make housing more affordable. In the early stages, new build home prices are expected to range from under $300,000 to about $410,000. This project's goal is to help working families and first-time homebuyers who want to settle down in a growing area.
The developers and their partners wanted to make sure they met the needs of the local workforce by delivering quality construction and modern living standards within a reasonable price point.
Edwards says this is what makes the project stand out.
"What makes this project special is the opportunity it creates for first-time buyers, families, and anyone at any stage of life looking to invest in their future. It’s exciting to be part of something that’s truly building the future of this region. It offers a convenient location and long-term value for both residents and local businesses.” — Pam Edwards, Realtor
