Kansas City played host to the annual Western Missouri/Kansas Chapter of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) event, a gathering of top professionals in the commercial real estate industry. Held on Thursday, September 19, 2024, at Union Station, this event brought together leaders in development, architects, builders, investors and brokerage to network, share insights and explore opportunities for the future.
