Market Intelligence: Lower Midwest Region Update

Now Available On Demand

The slow-yet-steady profile of Lower Midwest markets like Kansas City, St. Louis and Omaha served operators and investors well during the pandemic-driven downturn as many of these regional metros were spared rent cuts and occupancy loss.

Positive influences that helped insulate the markets from the downturn include minimal supply pressure and less reliance on the hardest-hit economic sectors, such as tourism.

Today, the national marketplace continues to show strength. However, the low-risk profile of the Lower Midwest markets often limits the potential reward. As a result, there are questions about whether these characteristically slow-growth metros can capitalize on the broader upswing.

Markets covered in this new-and-improved, interactive webcast include:

  • Kansas City
  • St. Louis
  • Oklahoma City
  • Des Moines
  • Omaha
  • Little Rock
  • Tulsa
  • Davenport
  • Lincoln
  • Springfield
  • Wichita
  • Fayetteville
