Milwaukee Best Real Estate Deals

Overview

Milwaukee Business Journal’s Real Estate Awards (often branded as “Best Real Estate Deals”) honor notable commercial real estate transactions and projects in the Milwaukee area, highlighting their business impact, complexity, and contribution to regional development. The program is run editorially by the Milwaukee Business Journal, which selects honorees based on reporting, nominations, and market insight rather than pay-to-play placement. Companies and deal teams pursue it for local visibility among investors, developers, brokers, and civic leaders, and because it is a credible recognition within the Milwaukee commercial real estate community.

Eligibility Requirements

• Project or transaction must involve commercial real estate located in the greater Milwaukee area
• Deal must have closed or project must have reached a significant completion milestone within the eligible period specified by the Milwaukee Business Journal (typically the prior calendar year)
• Nominations must provide verifiable deal details (parties involved, size, investment, location, and description of significance) and be submitted through the Milwaukee Business Journal’s online nomination form by the 2026 deadline
