Specialty Practices Drive Growth in Kansas City Medical Office Market

by Kristin Harlow July 27, 2017

Kansas City is in the midst of an aggressive expansion of capital investment in medical office space that is consistent with national activity. A variety of factors drive these developments, including patients’ expectations for medical care, a change in how large-scale healthcare operators view their networks and the growth of specialty practitioners. The evolution of medical space created by these forces leads to an entirely new development approach. The most obvious evidence of this change in the Kansas City market is located along the Interstate 435 corridor between State Line Road and Metcalf Avenue. Every major healthcare operator in the metro area either has an established presence there, is in the midst of an expansion project, or both. Within that area, the new medical office building for St. Luke’s Health System at Mission Farms was completed in the second half of 2016. Further west, the 76,000-square-foot Quad Six medical office building, located at 6650 W. 110th St., delivered in June of this year.

M&M: Demographics Revive Interest in Suburban Office Spaces

by Taylor Williams July 27, 2017

A growing concentration of households in suburban areas throughout the country is sparking renewed interest in office properties located outside urban centers, according to a recent report from Marcus & Millichap. Millennials’ general preference to work in amenity-rich office buildings with walkable retail and dining options heightened demand for urban office space for much of the post-recession era, notes the report. Overall vacancy for urban office properties declined by 250 basis points during this period and clocked in around 14 percent as of the first quarter of 2017. This activity spurred a 7 percent increase in asking rents across America’s urban office markets, but demand for these properties is beginning to slow. The suburbs, where rents for stabilized properties land for new properties are cheaper, are currently poised to benefit from rising rents in urban sectors, according to the report. Compounding the opportunities for suburban office properties are the general demographics of those markets. According to the report, as of 2015, 64 percent of America’s households resided in the suburbs. That figure is projected to rise as high as 75 percent by 2025. Particularly in smaller areas with tighter labor markets, this proportion is an important consideration. In addition, the …
