The 5th week of my internship brought a very interesting and insightful experience. The interns were invited to an event held by the managers of 330 Kilbourn in Milwaukee. This is one of a couple of opportunities offered by Colliers to get a deeper understanding of commercial real estate and learn from current professionals. We got a top-to-bottom tour of the building from common areas, vacant spaces, spec suites, and maintenance areas. The maintenance involved seeing the HVAC and elevator systems, with an explanation of areas related to our properties. We also learned stories of the property, marketing strategies, remodeling plans, and current issues at hand for one of the highest rated buildings in the city.
