About

Rooted in the Land.
Built on Discipline.

The Carroll Group is a holding company building a portfolio of businesses across real estate and land investment. Hands-on, thesis-driven, deliberate.

Who We Are

A Holding Company
with a Clear Vision

We started with land — acquiring acreage on the outskirts of Kansas City's growth corridors, holding patiently, and selling when the market catches up. But The Carroll Group is built to be more than a single strategy.

We're building a family of companies across real estate, development, and capital — each with the same discipline, local knowledge, and long-term mindset.

Based in Overland Park, Kansas, we know this market deeply. But we're not bound by geography. If the opportunity makes sense, we go where it takes us.

Conviction

Every investment has a clear thesis — a reason for entry and a planned exit.

Patience

We hold with discipline and exit when the timing is right.

Transparency

Our partners know what we own, why we own it, and where it stands.

Local Knowledge

Our KC roots give us an edge that can't be replicated remotely.

How We Operate

A Disciplined Process

01

Identify

Monitor county records, growth patterns, and infrastructure plans to find opportunities first.

02

Underwrite

Zoning, soil, flood maps, access, and comp analysis to confirm the thesis.

03

Acquire

Negotiate directly, often off-market, to secure terms aligned with our targets.

04

Exit

Sell to developers, builders, or end-users when conditions are optimal.

Subsidiary

Land Holdings

Our first and foundational business. We acquire undeveloped land in and around the Kansas City metro — positioning ahead of growth and holding with patience.

The Big Picture

A Rare Convergence of Catalysts

Kansas — and the KC metro in particular — is experiencing a once-in-a-generation alignment of growth drivers:

Panasonic's $4 billion EV battery plant in De Soto — the largest economic development project in Kansas history — creating thousands of jobs along the K-10 corridor.

The Kansas City Chiefs' $3.3 billion stadium deal in Wyandotte County, with a $300M practice facility in Olathe, generating over $4.4 billion in economic impact.

Johnson County's historic commercial boom — over $1 billion in new commercial construction in 2025, more than double the previous high.

Investment Tiers

Where the Opportunity Lives

Tier 1 — Premier

Johnson County

Panasonic, Chiefs HQ, $1B+ commercial construction. Transitional ag land along K-10 is the sweet spot.

Tier 2 — High Growth

Wyandotte & Miami

$3B Chiefs stadium transforms Wyandotte. Miami County — compelling value as the suburban wave arrives.

Tier 3 — Emerging

Wichita Suburbs

Sedgwick suburbs growing 4%+ annually. Significantly cheaper entry than KC metro.

Tier 4 — Agricultural

Western Kansas

$1,500–$3,300/acre. Wind and solar add 10–25% to returns.

Institutional Validation

Smart Money Is Buying Kansas

Farmland Partners (NYSE: FPI) owns ~139,200 acres including Kansas. Bill Gates is the largest private farmland owner with nearly 269,000 acres. Nuveen launched a multi-billion dollar farmland REIT in 2025. The thesis: farmland is a proven inflation hedge with shrinking supply.
