Detroit Members enjoyed an informative and enlightening visit from Lee Utke, Principal with Madison Marquette and a Member of the Chicago REAL Professionals Mastermind Group. Headquartered in Washington, DC with over 600 employees in 14 regional offices, Madison Marquette delivers integrated development, leasing and management services to a diverse portfolio of 330 assets in 20 states across all property types.

Lee co-leads the Corporate Solutions group, which is a natural fit after 25+ years overseeing Whirlpool’s 90M square foot global real estate portfolio. Madison Marquette’s Corporate Solutions platform goes beyond the fundamentals typically provided by brokerage firms by offering the full range of development services from feasibility to community outreach to site plan approval. Where appropriate, they are also willing to invest alongside their clients to ensure it’s the client – not the buyer – that captures the embedded equity and value created through any change in use.
