Demand for Logistics, Manufacturing Space Drives Wichita’s Pipeline of Projects

Kristin Harlow — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:39:00 +0000

By Grant Glasgow, SIOR, NAI Martens The industrial real estate market across the Wichita metropolitan statistical area (MSA) closed out 2025 with stable fundamentals, a healthy pipeline of projects and strong demand for large-format logistics and manufacturing space. Despite a modest increase in overall vacancy, the market continues to reflect the region’s strategic position as a logistics and manufacturing hub with lasting appeal to both regional users and national firms. Metrics point to equilibrium As of the fourth quarter of 2025, Wichita’s multi-tenant industrial inventory totaled approximately 43.6 million square feet across more than 1,300 buildings. The overall vacancy rate stood at 9 percent, a tick higher than the mid-year figure. While this figure might suggest slack in the market, it is important to note that the rise in vacancy is primarily due to smaller-bay space turning over and the inclusion of buildings actively being marketed but not yet move-in ready, such as the Wichita Business Park redevelopment at the former Towne West Square Mall. For context, the vacancy rate for larger industrial buildings — those over 100,000 square feet — was just 2.8 percent, highlighting a persistent shortage of modern bulk space. Asking rents averaged $6.07 per square foot…

Wichita Retail Activity Is Focused on High-Performing Corridors

Kristin Harlow — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:30:00 +0000

By Don Piros, CCIM, Landmark Commercial Real Estate Wichita’s retail and restaurant market is entering a new phase of evolution, marked by geographic concentration, steady suburban expansion and a wave of long-anticipated national brands entering the city. While overall demand remains stable, activity is increasingly focused in a handful of high-performing corridors, leaving older retail areas to repurpose or transition to new uses. Growth is concentrated in key corridors. Retail momentum in Wichita is strongest on the city’s east and northwest sides. The east side, particularly along Rock Road (Bradley Fair, Towne East Square), Webb Road (The Waterfront) and Greenwich Road (Greenwich Place Shopping Center), continue to attract higher-end retailers and nationally recognized restaurant brands. Strong household incomes and established shopping patterns have made the corridor the most competitive in the region. Meanwhile, northwest Wichita, especially along Maize Road and now Ridge Road, is emerging as the metro’s fastest growing suburban retail zone. Fueled by residential expansion and available land, the area has seen a steady influx of casual dining and quick-service restaurants and new strip retail developments. These two areas now anchor much of Wichita’s leasing activity, with tenants prioritizing visibility, traffic counts and proximity to new housing. In…

Topeka’s Housing Market Builds Momentum as Demand Outpaces Supply

Kristin Harlow — Thu, 28 May 2026 12:30:00 +0000

By Bob Ross, Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce The Topeka, Kansas, housing market continues to distinguish itself as one of the most competitive and resilient markets in the Midwest — offering a compelling case for developers seeking opportunity in a high-demand, undersupplied environment. New data from the Sunflower Association of Realtors underscores that strength. In February, the Topeka metropolitan area recorded 166 home sales, matching the pace from the same period last year, with total sales volume reaching $33.9 million. The median home price stood at $184,000 (compared with the national average of $360,591), while homes sold in an average of just 13 days (compared with the national average of 39 days) — an exceptionally fast turnaround compared with peer markets. Perhaps most notably, homes in Topeka sold for 100 percent of their list price and 98.7 percent of their original list price, a clear signal of strong buyer competition. By contrast, homes in the Greater Kansas City market took an average of 57 days to sell and closed at just 96.3 percent of original list price. Taken together, the data paints a clear picture: Demand in Topeka is not only strong — it is accelerating. Area employers frequently note…
