Agenda:

8 a.m. Networking Breakfast

8:30–9:30 a.m. Session One: Opportunities in the Downtown Commercial Real Estate Market
The Downtown Minneapolis commercial real estate market has changed significantly in the last five years. While the traditional downtown market has been disrupted due to a number of factors, this panel will feature the perspectives of the president of the downtown council, a developer, a commercial real estate attorney, and a longtime former broker, now developer, who will provide attendees with valuable insights on the unique opportunities currently available in the downtown real estate market.

  • (Moderator) Jon Septer, Partner and Chair of Real Estate Group, Maslon LLP
  • Erin Fitzgerald, Founder & CEO, Willow Peak
  • Adam Duininck, President and CEO, Minneapolis Downtown Council
  • Ben Krsnak, Executive Vice President, Hempel

9:30–9:40 a.m. Break

9:40–10:40 a.m. Commercial Real Estate for Minnesota’s "Budding" Cannabis Industry
Minnesota’s approval of the use and sale of adult-use cannabis has permanently altered the landscape of commercial real estate across the state. With an eye towards lessons learned in other states with legal recreational use, this panel will provide current and potential industry participants with an overview of the unique issues related to zoning regulations and city-imposed moratoriums, lending and property investment strategies, security, the real estate components necessary to qualify for a cannabis license, and the anticipated impact of cannabis businesses on local economies.
