INTRODUCTION
Over the last decade, the economy in Southeast Wisconsin has experienced accelerated growth, particularly in the industrial sector of the economy. The combination of public infrastructure improvements and a probusiness environment has led to an influx of regional, national, and international companies choosing to relocate or expand operations into southeast Wisconsin.
Southeast Wisconsin boasts lower costs of doing business, a strong pool of both skilled and unskilled labor, and a strategic location quickly connecting Chicago and Milwaukee. As businesses have continued to grow in southeast Wisconsin, the industrial real estate sector has followed suit with a boom of its own, as both developers and businesses have made major investments based on their confidence in the continued strength of the region’s industrial market.
