The Nation's Transportation Hub
In Missouri, all roads lead to St. Louis. In fact, the city is a hub for all modes of transport. The airport is a hub for both domestic and international flights, and the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers converge just north of the city. This makes St. Louis an ideal location for distribution centers and transport-related businesses. There are numerous commercial real estate opportunities in these markets.

Kansas City, in the west, and the cities of Springfield and Joplin, in the southwest of Missouri, are centers for the telecommunications, transportation and warehousing industries. There has been steady growth in the number of manufacturing plants in Missouri that has spurred increased activity in the industrial real estate market.
