Shareholder Kevin Ramakrishna was a featured panelist at In Business Madison's 2025 Real Estate & Construction Symposium on April 16, engaging on topics such as the City of Madison's approval processes and regulatory constraints, as well as the challenges and opportunities within Wisconsin's commercial real estate and construction sectors. Ramakrishna underscored the necessity of streamlined procedures to mitigate delays and promote transparency, while also highlighting the limitations of current financing tools that can impede growth, particularly the obstacles faced by developers in the city's approval processes. Progress happens, he emphasized, through collaborative problem-solving that is vital for transforming Madison's real estate landscape. This year's Symposium, sponsored by Reinhart, brought together regional business leaders and industry experts for meaningful discussions and networking.
