Here's what's new in Topeka and Shawnee County real estate this week. White Lakes Center land gets a big price cut. The former White Lakes Mall site at 3500-3600 SW Topeka Blvd is about 17.6 acres of unplatted land zoned C4 and I1. On Nov 7 it was cut to $5,910,000 for the full package, down from $15,333,120 in the listing's price history. Pad sites run from about 0.7 to 12.6 acres at $6 to $16 per square foot. The site is in the South Topeka TIF district (each project still has to apply for TIF), and AutoZone has already bought land there for its MegaHub.

Topeka's governing body made two housing calls on Nov. 10 that every developer and investor in town should know about. Ardmore Walk gets its RHID started. The council voted to send a Reinvestment Housing Incentive District application for Ardmore Walk Addition No. 1 to the Kansas Secretary of Commerce. The project is 42 luxury homes near SW Lakeside Drive and 45th Street. The city is clearly willing to use incentives for new homes in southwest Topeka. The question is whether every applicant gets the same treatment.

A proposed ordinance would have let owners in single-family neighborhoods apply for a conditional use permit to build duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes without rezoning. The council shelved it for more research, and city officials say action likely won'...

Cheap residential ground on SE Adams. 29.5 acres zoned R-1 in the Shawnee Heights school district is listed at $125,000, about $4,240 an acre.

Blackstone Inc.’s marquee real estate unit is facing a significant leadership overhaul following a mini-exodus of senior talent, capped by the shock departure of global real estate head Nadeem Meghji (https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fg%2F11kxksvgxd&q=Nadeem+Meghji). Meghji (https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fg%2F11kxksvgxd&q=Meghji) announced his exit in September 2026 after less than ten months as sole leader of the division. He follows a trail of roughly a dozen senior managing directors—nearly a third of the unit's senior leadership—who have left the firm over the past three years. Longtime veterans David Levine and Giovanni Cutaia (https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fg%2F11g9nblmgj&q=Giovanni+Cutaia) have stepped in as co-heads to steer the division through its most turbulent period since the financial crisis.

This is a 10-unit building near downtown with about 8,538 square feet, built in 1967.

Tonganoxie sits in Leavenworth County along US-24/US-40, roughly between Lawrence and the Leavenworth/Kansas City corridor. It is no longer just a quiet bedroom community. The city is in an active, deliberate growth phase powered by industrial investment in the Animal Health Corridor, steady residential demand, targeted infrastructure, and coordinated planning. The result is a layered set of opportunities across industrial, residential, commercial, and mixed-use development that few Kansas towns of this size currently offer. Steady Population Growth and a Changing Profile Recent certified figures place Tonganoxie’s population in the 6,195–6,208 range, with projections near 6,350 for 2026. That represents roughly 11–13% growth since the 2020 Census (about 5,570–5,590) and more than a doubling since 2000, when the city hovered around 2,700–2,800. Median age sits in the mid-to-late 30s and median household income runs in the $80,000 range. Many residents still commute into the broader K...

  Topeka and Shawnee County’s multifamily apartment market (focusing on larger complexes of roughly 50+ units, not duplexes or fourplexes) is characterized by modest overall stock quality, moderate vacancy in the mid-to-high single digits, limited new construction until recently, and a clear shortage of modern/higher-quality product. The market is slightly tight by local standards, with demand supported by stable employment (government, healthcare/education, and related sectors) outpacing deliveries of new units. Overall Stock and Inventory Older city housing analyses (around 2020 data) put Topeka’s market-rate multifamily inventory at roughly 10,300–10,400 units, predominantly traditional garden-style complexes. Structures with five or more units account for a substantial share of renter-occupied housing (around 42% in recent ACS-related figures). Affordable/subsidized stock adds several thousand more units (LIHTC, public housing around 700+, project-based Section 8, etc.), for...

Tonganoxie is in an active growth phase , driven by industrial anchors in the Animal Health Corridor, residential demand, targeted infrastructure, and proactive city planning.
