KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Kansas City Symphony has unveiled plans to develop a new live music venue in the city’s South Plaza district. The indoor venue, designed for audiences of up to 4,600 guests and targeted to open in 2028, will host touring artists across genres and support a limited number of Symphony performances that benefit from amplified or enhanced production formats.

Supply and demand dynamics within the seniors housing sector are at a crossroads, according to the Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2026 report produced by PwC and the Urban Land Institute. Like most commercial real estate property types, new supply is constrained due to increasing financing and construction costs. However, demand for senior living units continues to grow. According to the report, factors driving demand for seniors housing include a rapidly growing older adult population and an increase in older adults renting. The 75-plus age category is expected to grow by more than 4 million people by 2030, according to U.S. Census Bureau projections. The oldest baby boomers turn 80 in 2026. The National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC) expects that the limited new supply and steady demand will drive the average seniors housing occupancy rate above 90 percent in 2026, potentially reaching the highest occupancy rate reported in the 20 years that NIC MAP has tracked this data. Investors are poised to achieve strong returns. The National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF), which tracks the performance of institutional-grade U.S. commercial real estate, reports that seniors housing strongly outperformed all other property sectors in 2025, …
