Lunch & Learn
Lunch & learn with Sheldon Oppermann, New Land Enterprises
Kick off the afternoon with an exclusive lunch and learn featuring Sheldon Oppermann, CFO and general counsel at New Land Enterprises — the Milwaukee real estate development and property management firm behind the Ascent, the world’s tallest mass timber high-rise. Oppermann will offer an insider’s look at New Land’s recent projects and what it took to get them done, from NOVA Green Bay to the newly launched Lockside development in De Pere. Hear what this award-winning developer looks for in the communities it works with, their creative solutions to persistent development challenges and what Northeast Wisconsin needs to compete on the national stage.

Development Panel
National site selector Scott Kupperman, founder of Kupperman Location Solutions; Matt Rehbein, FTI Director of Real Estate Development; and Tom Fisk, partner and managing broker at NAI Pfefferle will share an unvarnished look at how commercial real estate deals actually get done. Moderated by New North’s Barbara Koldos, we’ll explore the full arc of the deal process: what national decision-makers evaluate in our market, the red flags that kill site selection and how Northeast Wisconsin can remove friction to land more investments.
