In this episode of The Kansas City Market Pulse, we’re breaking down the January 6, 2026 Lenexa Planning Commission meeting — and if you’re tracking development activity in Johnson County, this is one you don’t want to miss.

This meeting offers a real-time snapshot of how Lenexa is evolving — from rezonings and site plans to infrastructure coordination and long-term growth patterns that directly impact land values, development timelines, and investment strategy.

We walk through:

• The most meaningful agenda items from the meeting

• What the approvals (and conditions) signal about Lenexa’s development priorities

• How current planning decisions may shape future opportunities across residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects

• Why following planning commission activity gives investors and developers an edge before deals hit the market

This isn’t headlines or theory — this is ground-level intelligence straight from the planning process.

If you’re a developer, investor, broker, or landowner operating in the Kansas City metro, this breakdown helps you understand where Lenexa is saying “yes,” where it’s applying pressure, and how projects are getting across the finish line.

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.
