Kansas City's thriving technology sector has the office market remaining strong for the first quarter of 2015. Occupancy rates and average rents have risen compared to lasts years figures. A combination of tech focused employers and lower office vacancies have fueled the demand for Class A office space. These employers are demanding that their new office space offer up vibrant areas that will cater to the changing needs and desires of rising professionals.

Millennials are tech savvy and ambitious workers who have taken on a variety of different working styles and preferences than generations before. Studies have shown that Millennials are more productive when sitting in cafes or lounge style areas than at a traditional workstation.
