Join Us on June 4th for the Mid-Market Summit 2026!

The Topic for 2026: The Missing Middle

The “Missing Middle” highlights a critical gap in today’s housing landscape—where demand for attainable, mid-density housing far outpaces supply. As Illinois faces a growing shortage, the conversation is shifting toward duplexes, triplexes, and four-flats as practical solutions that bridge the divide between single-family homes and large-scale apartment developments. For multifamily investors in Chicagoland, this evolving policy and development focus signals both opportunity and uncertainty: new pathways for growth, changing regulatory dynamics, and the potential reshaping of neighborhood density. Understanding where the market and legislation intersect will be key to identifying the next wave of value in the region’s housing ecosystem.

Why we host the Mid-Market Summit

After attending numerous industry events attended predominantly by lenders, brokers, appraisers, inspectors, and other vendors – Kiser Group established the Mid-Market Summit as an exclusive event for owners of multifamily properties.

Since its inception in 2018, Kiser Group’s Mid-Market Summit has evolved into a cornerstone for the apartment industry. Unlike other real estate events, the Mid-Market Summit offers a unique networking environment free from the distractions of multiple vendors bombarding attendees with information. Here, participants have the opportunity to connect not only with fellow property owners but also with our dedicated brokers.

This principals-only gathering has consistently brought together 200+ owners to delve into the pertinent issues affecting us today. With a commitment to meaningful panels and dialogue, the event has become an invaluable forum for navigating the challenges and opportunities that impact our business, foster collaboration, and drive our collective success.

That’s not to say we don’t have our fair-share of fun. We look forward to welcoming you to partake in our event, which includes dinner and an open bar.
