What does the Kansas City commercial real estate market look like?

The Kansas side of the Kansas City metro — encompassing Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, and Shawnee — has become the dominant suburban office and corporate campus market in the bi-state region, with the College Boulevard corridor in Overland Park serving as the metro's largest suburban office submarket. Sprint's former campus (now T-Mobile's) in Overland Park, Garmin's headquarters in Olathe, and the Cerner (now Oracle Health) campus in south Kansas City have established a significant technology and healthcare IT employment cluster. The Johnson County industrial market benefits from proximity to major intermodal facilities and the BNSF Logistics Park Kansas City in Edgerton, one of the largest inland ports in North America. Kansas offers a more aggressive business incentive structure than neighboring Missouri, which has fueled ongoing commercial tenant migration across the state line.

  • Overland Park College Boulevard office corridor and T-Mobile campus
  • Garmin headquarters and Oracle Health (Cerner) campus in Johnson County

Market Insight

Kansas's Economic Development Exemption allows qualifying new commercial and industrial properties to receive up to a 10-year full property tax abatement, and Johnson County's STAR Bonds program has financed major projects like the Kansas Speedway Village entertainment district — these incentives have been pivotal in attracting tenants from the Missouri side.
