This panel brings together investors\, developers\, and industry experts—both local and national—to explore the shifting dynamics of commercial retail real estate across the country and the State. \nFrom high-growth suburban corridors to revitalized urban infill projects\, retail is being redefined through mixed-use integrations\, experiential design\, and new investment models. \nThis panel will look closer into: \nInvestor Sentiment & Capital Flow – How are in-state and out-of-state investors evaluating various retail markets and opportunities? Which asset classes are attracting capital? \nAdaptive Reuse & Mixed-Use Innovations – What’s working when repurposing outdated retail centers? Where is mixed-use retail succeeding? \nGround-Up vs. Redevelopment – With demand for experiential retail and unique destinations\, what’s the right approach for different markets? \nEmerging Trends & Consumer Behavior – How are retail concepts shifting with e-commerce integration\, hospitality-driven retail\, and localized experiences? \nThe Next Big Opportunity – Where should developers and investors be looking next? What municipalities are primed for retail growth? What are the characteristics of those places? \nThis discussion will illuminate the opportunities—and challenges—shaping the retail’s future locally and across the country. \nSpeakers include:\nEd Bowen\, The Morgan Partners\nCorrine Cecil\, Last Mile Investments\nAdam Ifshin\, DLC Management\nScott Yauck\, Cobalt Partners\nMike Fitzgerald\, Mid-America Real Estate (Moderator)\n_______________________________________________________________________________\n \nRoundtable Sessions: Includes 4 twenty minute sessions\n \nTopics Include: \nChanging Brown Deer’s Identity with Government Involvement | Nate Piotrowski\, City of Brown Deer\nConstruction Cost Update – Making New from Old vs. New | Dave Schwartz\, Innovative Construction Solutions\nConvenience & Grocery Store Update | Troy Mleziva\, Kwik Trip\nDowntown Milwaukee / Third Ward Update | Matt Dorner\, Milwaukee Downtown\, Bid #21\, Bruce Westling\, NEWMARK\nEntitlements (Zoning Changes\, Drive Throughs & More) | Rod Carter\, Husch Blackwell\nExpanding Retailers / Hot Trends in Retail | Andrew Prater\, Ryan O’Hara\, Mid America Real Estate\nHousing and Infrastructure Resources | Jon Searles\, WHEDA | Jon Searles\, WHEDA\nInvestment and Net Lease Sales | Adam Connor\, Colliers\nJanesville/Beloit: A Sure Bet | Bill Mears\, Coldwell Banker Commercial McGuire Mears & Associates\nMadison Market Update | Max Jacobson\, Jacobson Commercial Real Estate\nReal World Location Intelligence with Placer.ai | Brenden Gill\, Placer AI\nRenewing Loans in a New Interest Rate Environment  / Construction Financing | Adam Newman\, Landmark Credit Union\nSite Selection & Alternative Uses in Retail | Sam Gleischman\, CBRE\nTax Deferred Exchange Solutions 2025 | Anna Barsky\, IPX 1031\nTitle 101 | Cate Heath\, Chicago Title\nWhat’s New with Restaurants | Ross Koepsel\, Founders 3 Real Estate Services \n_______________________________________________________________________________ \nMunicipal Showcase: \nMunicipalities play a crucial role in a project’s success\, and we are deeply engaged with the economic development community.
