The annual Commercial Real Estate and Development Conference, presented by BizTimes Milwaukee, the Vieth Institute for Real Estate Leadership at Marquette University and the Commercial Association of Realtors Wisconsin (CARW), is southeastern Wisconsin’s premier networking and information event for the industry. This conference examines the latest trends in commercial real estate and development and explores the possibilities for the year ahead.

The City of Milwaukee taking control of former Northridge Mall property and demolishing the existing buildings creates an opportunity for a new development to bring needed investment on the far northwest side of the city. Teams of developers will share their ideas for transforming the site before the audience has a chance to pick their favorite.
