Demand is healthy as young professionals move into the city, although a wave of new supply is expected to moderate rent growth.<\/p>\n<p>The metro is consolidating its status as a financial services hub. The sector added 4,500 jobs over the past year, leading all employment segments. Kansas City is also seeing a growth in tech-oriented businesses, the most notable being Cerner\u2019s Innovations Campus, which just completed the construction of its first two towers.
