Our first event in the market covers economic trends, new and ongoing developments, and what’s ahead for the city’s skyline

What We’ll Explore At This Commercial Real Estate Conference:

• The biggest projects, sites, and trends shaping Milwaukee CRE in 2026 — from the Safety Building campus and Granville Station (former Northridge Mall) to Bronzeville, Walker’s Point, and the Harbor District
• How developers and owners are protecting margins through high construction costs, elevated rates, and softening rents
• Where the action is across multifamily, industrial, healthcare, life sciences, mixed-use, and adaptive reuse — and how every part of the project cycle plays a role
• Office repositioning and conversion: Compass Lofts, 100 East Wisconsin, and what’s next for Milwaukee’s central business district
• Public–private collaboration: TIDs, the city’s “Year of Housing” agenda, WHEDA financing, and the Connec+ing MKE Downtown 2040 plan
• The Milwaukee region as a national capital magnet — Microsoft, Eli Lilly, Kikkoman, and what the data center boom means for water, energy, and adjacent CRE
• Equity and access in development: how the ACRE program has reshaped who builds in Milwaukee, and what’s still ahead
• The role of interest rates, tariffs, and other economic headwinds in CRE decision making
