Multifamily Is Needed for All Income Levels in Kansas City

by Kristin Harlow

By Doug Stockman, Helix Architecture + Design Straddling two states, Kansas City is one of the country’s most distinctive real estate markets. Since 1992, our firm has designed workplace, cultural, higher education and multifamily projects of all types in the city, with specialized expertise in adaptive reuse. We see multifamily as the most active segment in 2026.  Compared with other states, Missouri’s support for new housing projects is about average. Kansas is near the bottom, because the state lacks the revenue to incentivize housing. Inventory on the Kansas side is also less, with most multifamily housing located outside the city. Looking ahead, low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) incentives will ideally accelerate Kansas City’s biggest market demand — affordable housing. The Kansas City Affordable Housing Set-Aside Ordinance presents some obstacles. To receive city subsidies, multifamily developments must have 12 or more units, 20 percent of which need to be affordable for households earning 60 percent or less of the area median income (AMI). Alternately, developers can pay $100,000 into the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund.  Further, developers must navigate a complex process of zoning approvals and community engagement meetings that culminates with a city council hearing. If approved, developers on the Missouri …

How to Buy a Medical Office Property

by Taylor Williams

By Ryan McCullough, partner, managing director, Partners Real Estate Over the last decade, medical office buildings (MOBs) have become one of the most in-demand asset classes in commercial real estate. This shift did not happen by chance. Two major changes in the broader real estate market reshaped investors’ priorities and positioned medical office as a durable, long-term investment vehicle. The first was the rise of e-commerce. As consumers moved toward online shopping and same-day delivery, traditional retail properties faced elevated pressure. Investors began searching for asset types with consistent demand and limited exposure to technological disruption. As a result, MOBs, anchored by in-person healthcare delivery, benefited directly from this shift. The second was the COVID-19 pandemic. While retail and hospitality experienced sharp declines, MOBs proved far more resilient. Healthcare services remained essential, patient volumes recovered quickly and medical tenants continued operating. This period reinforced the reputation of MOBs as a defensive investment with stable demand through economic cycles. That surge in investor interest, however, has also led to confusion and, in some cases, unnecessary risk. Understanding the Diversity of Healthcare Assets As a commercial investment, healthcare is not a single, uniform product type. Properties vary widely in use, cost, complexity …
