Kansas City continues to grow — but not without friction.

In this solo episode of The Kansas City Market Pulse, Logan Freeman breaks down the Kansas City, Missouri City Plan Commission meetings from January 7th and January 21st, 2026 — covering the biggest development approvals, rezoning moves, and one residential project that perfectly highlights the ongoing tension between growth and neighborhood resistance.

• The massive expansion of the KCI 29 Logistics Park — and what it signals for industrial demand in the Northland

• New multifamily and mixed-use projects moving forward across Kansas City

• Corridor rezonings setting the stage for future redevelopment

• Institutional and community facility expansions

• The Woodbridge Manor project at 10806 Grandview Road — a proposed 151-home neighborhood that stalled after organized opposition raised concerns over traffic, stormwater, and site development

Kansas City — like many cities across the country — consistently talks about the need for more housing, more affordability, and more supply.

But when real projects show up, resistance often follows.

This episode dives into the real forces shaping housing supply, commercial growth, and development momentum in the KC metro — and why friction at the planning level continues to impact long-term affordability and opportunity.

On this episode of The Kansas City Market Pulse, host Logan Freeman is joined by Nathan Roberts to break down a real-world proofstacking case study — the recently closed Broadmoor Pet Retreat, a flex industrial property that didn’t just get listed… it got launched.

This episode isn’t a victory lap. It’s a step-by-step walkthrough of what actually happens when a commercial property is brought to market with intention.

We unpack how strategic exposure, data-backed positioning, and targeted outreach translated into real buyer activity — and how the team navigated obstacles, adjusted strategy, and ultimately delivered a successful close as 2025 wrapped up.

You’ll hear:

• What “proofstacking” actually means in practice

• Why simply listing a property isn’t enough in today’s market

• How market data, buyer targeting, and execution work together

• The challenges that came up during the process — and how they were solved

• What this deal teaches owners, investors, and brokers about launching assets the right way

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a flex industrial property is launched — not just listed — this episode shows you exactly what that looks like from start to finish.

Whether you’re an owner considering a sale, an investor looking for opportunities, or a broker refining your strategy, this is a behind-the-scenes look at execution in the real world.

For the last three years, commercial real estate has existed in limbo — frozen capital, pricing uncertainty, and buyers and sellers waiting for clarity.

According to the Q4 2025 Commercial Real Estate Market Pulse, that waiting period ended in Q3 2025.

In this episode, Logan Freeman of Midwest CRE Advisors kicks off the Market Signal series by breaking down the data behind what he believes was a true inflection point for the market — not a bounce, not a relief rally, but a structural shift.

Logan explains:

• Why Q3 2025 marked the transition from price discovery to price acceptance

• How transaction volume and velocity signal renewed conviction

• What rising prices across multifamily, office, retail, and industrial really mean

• Why this is no longer a distress-clearing market, but a quality-driven market

• What smart owners, investors, and operators are doing right now

Markets don’t turn when everyone feels good — they turn when risk becomes measurable again. And according to the data, that’s exactly what happened.

If you’re an owner, investor, broker, or operator trying to position for 2026, this episode breaks down why hesitation is now a liability — and preparation is being rewarded.

🎙️ This episode launches the Market Signal series, where we break down the data before the crowd reacts to it.

Proposals to limit or ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes are dominating national headlines — but would those policies actually improve housing affordability?

In this solo episode, Logan Freeman of Midwest CRE Advisors breaks down the data behind institutional ownership, housing supply, and pricing — and explains why the narrative doesn’t fully align with reality, especially in Kansas City and Mid-America markets.

Logan walks through:

• How much of the single-family housing stock institutions actually own

• Why most rental homes are still owned by small, local landlords

• What rising interest rates have done to institutional buying behavior

• Kansas City home prices, inventory levels, and rental demand

• Why supply, construction costs, and financing matter more than headlines

Using Kansas City as a real-world case study, this episode cuts through the noise to explain what really drives housing affordability — and what investors, developers, and policymakers should focus on heading into 2026.
