Wichita has maintained a pattern of measured supply growth over the past several years. The metropolitan economy has benefited from expansion in manufacturing, aerospace, and agriculture, which has supported job creation and population stability. Although Wichita has a higher square foot per capita than the national average, population density in many areas does not justify new development. This has deterred additional projects and allowed existing facilities to mature. As a result, operators are positioned to gradually increase rental rates as the market remains stable.
