The MKE Airport-Area Real Estate Market continues to flourish.

A nearly 900,000-square-foot industrial property, just southeast of the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport has been sold.

“The Milwaukee County airport industrial market fundamentals are very strong, and they have been for years," said Tom Shepherd of Colliers (the investment management company that brokered the sale).

Mitchell Industrial Park sold for nearly $60M A New York and Minnesota joint venture purchased the Mitchell Industrial Park in Cudahy. Previously it was owned by Illinois-based Oak Residential Partners.

How can MKE airport entice airlines to increase nonstop flights in and out of Milwaukee? By putting their best foot forward when welcoming visitors during the RNC!

The upcoming RNC allows Milwaukee to showcase its ability to host large conventions. If that leads to more large events in the future, it could pay off for the airport, possibly leading airlines to add more flights to Milwaukee.

How the Milwaukee airport is poised to handle the RNC, and how it might pay off in the future The airport has recently updated signage, placed new carpeting and plans to welcome a new food vendor ahead of the Republican National Convention.

Throughout the space, patrons can admire a collection of Wisconsin sport-inspired artworks by artist Jimmy Cha Cha.

2) Garden Block Revitalization Project @ 6th & Norwich: The multi-phase project included replanting the gardens, construction of a large gazebo, and the addition of multiple sculptures and artistic site features.
