Interested in Bringing a Kading Community to Your City?

Workforce housing offers many benefits to a growing community. Kading, a family-owned development, construction, and property management company is proud to be a leader in bringing workforce housing to Iowa.

Our journey to developing and constructing new Kading communities begins with conversations with all stakeholders.

We work to understand from stakeholders the need and the work involved so we can build a Kading community that delivers on:

• Quality
• Ability to lease
• Accessibility
• Amenities

It truly takes a village to bring these ideas to fruition! That's why we value the partnerships and relationships we build within a community that help make workforce housing in your city a success.

We're proud to partner with community planning teams to better understand the needs and solutions workforce housing can bring to a town that is poised for growth.

Bill Trickey, executive director of the Clarke County Community Corporation, shares their experience bringing workforce housing to the City of Osceola, Iowa in this video.

There are common characteristics to communities that successfully bring workforce housing to their city. Here are a few things to consider about whether Kading is the right fit for your city: 

• Most Communities Participate in a 10-year, 100% Tax Abatement Program
• Project Participation Includes Top Community Employers
• Some Projects Result from or are Led by a Recent Housing Study or Housing Committee
• Many Include Collaborating with Economic or Development Corporations
• They are Future-Focused Projects; Most Consider Partnerships on City Infrastructure to Facilitate the Development and Future Community Growth
