THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE "FRESHCOAST ADVANTAGE: A HUGE SUCCESS!
On November 14th, more than 450 people attended the sixth annual BizTimes Milwaukee Commercial Real Estate & Development Conference at the Italian Community Center. The emcee was Professor Mark Eppli, Ph.D., chair of the Robert B. Bell Real Estate program at Marquette University. Presenters and panelists included Richard “Rocky” Marcoux, Franz Hoffmann, Sean Linnane and James Randel. BizTimes Milwaukee, the Commercial Association of Realtors Wisconsin and Marquette University would like to thank to everyone involved for making this program a great success.
The expert panel for this year’s SBT Commercial Real Estate & Development Conference included:
Sean Linnane, vice president of Magellan Development Group LLC, one of downtown Chicago's most prominent real estate development companies. Linnane is overseeing the development of Chicago's $4 billion, mixed-use Lakeshore East community, believed to be the largest parcel of downtown land under development in any major U.S. city. Loewenberg will speak about the intrinsic value of waterfront development, and he will provide an outsider's perspective on Milwaukee's commercial real estate market and its use of the lakefront.
Franz Hoffman, president of Procorp Enterprises LLC in Milwaukee and chair of the Milwaukee 7 Water Council. Procorp specializes in sustainable water and wastewater treatment solutions. Hoffman will speak about the Great Lakes water resource and the need to use sustainable real estate development practices and products.
James Randel, commercial real estate attorney, broker investor and author. Randel is a leader in "added value" investing, an approach to real estate that attempts to boost the value of a property well beyond normal appreciation or inflation. His strategies have been followed by investors throughout the country. He is the author of "The Real Estate Game And How To Win It" and "Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur." Randel is a distinguished commentator on real estate issues at conferences throughout the nation, including the Harvard Business School. A native of Ohio, Randel will speak about the future strategic advantages of developing real estate in the Great Lakes region.
The opening remarks of the conference will be provided by Richard "Rocky" Marcoux, commissioner of the Milwaukee Department of City Development. Jim Villa, the new president of the Commercial Association of Realtors Wisconsin (CARW), will provide some exclusive market data at the conference. The conference will be moderated by Mark Eppli, Ph.D., professor of finance and chair of the Robert B. Bell Real Estate Program at Marquette University.
