Under the revised plan, the tunnel remained operational during the day while repairs progressed in the nights and weekends.

Zilber to Redevelop Former Race Track in Wisconsin to 240-Acre Mixed-Use Property

by Taylor Williams April 27, 2020

KENOSHA, WIS. — Locally based developer Zilber Property Group has unveiled plans to redevelop the site of the former Dairyland Greyhound Park into a 240-acre mixed-use property. The property was a dog-racing track and facility in Kenosha, located south of Milwaukee near the Illinois border. The track closed roughly a decade ago. California-based Majestic Property Co. acquired the site in late 2017 with plans to build a 2 million-square-foot industrial park that never materialized. The site was also the proposed location of a Hard Rock casino project that was rejected by the state in 2015, according to Kenosha News, a local newspaper. Zilber is partnering with the Forest County Potawatomi Community, a federally recognized Native American tribe and owner of the land, on the project. “Given our history and tribal ties to the area, the Dairyland property purchase made a lot of sense,” says Jeff Crawford, tribal attorney general for the Potawatomi. “It also meets our goals of economic diversification.” The new redevelopment will be branded Greeneway and will include office, retail, industrial and multifamily uses. Specifically, plans currently call for roughly 2 million square feet of industrial space across several buildings, a multifamily community with up to 360 units …

by Sarah Daniels April 24, 2020

In recent weeks, the ability of commercial real estate owners to access debt and equity has come into question as the novel coronavirus wreaks havoc on the economy.

Debt markets were waiting for clarity on how various sectors would react, according to Mark Strauss, managing director of capital markets, and Rob Quarton, director of capital markets, with Walker & Dunlop’s Irvine, Calif., office. The two recently spoke with REBusinessOnline via Zoom about the robustness of certain asset types, market stability, debt pricing and adoption of tech-heavy creativity in the wake of COVID-19 and its effects on commercial real estate nationwide. Commercial Real Estate Debt & Coronavirus Strauss and Quarton primarily work with institutional capital sources that provide capitalization for commercial real estate developers and owners. As such, they have a broad view of all debt markets and their willingness to fund. Debt funds are one of the most affected areas of the financial markets. “The way that debt funds finance their position behind the scenes — either using collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), bank warehouse lines or repo facilities — …
