BizTimes Milwaukee’s Annual Commercial Real Estate and Development Conference featured some of the top executives in the industry discussing industry trends and prospects.

The sold-out crowd of nearly 450 people filled the Italian community center in Milwaukee’s historic third district.

Panelists broke news and covered a range of topics including the Milwaukee state office market amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, suburban development opportunities and the need to invest in Milwaukee’s lower-income neighborhoods.
