Carole Schaeffer wins 2026 ATHENA Leadership Award
Despite the long roster of professional accomplishments that earned her the recognition, Carole Schaeffer said Wednesday night that winning the Business Forum’s ATHENA Leadership Award was unexpected.
Her speech was humble and brief.
“I didn't prepare a speech because I legit(imately) didn't think I was going to win!” she said to the crowd gathered at Madison’s Nakoma Golf Club for the 29th annual awards event. “There were so many amazing women that were nominated here.
RSK: Well deserved!

Office Attendance Drivers in 2026: The New Rules of Showing Up
.png)
To optimize office utilization and surrounding activity in 2026, stakeholders should:
- Plan for continued, but slower, office recovery...
- Account for growing seasonality in office staffing, local retail operations, and municipal services...
- Align leasing strategies with seasonal demand...
- Design hybrid policies around midweek anchor days...
- Reduce early-week commute friction to support attendance...
Prioritize proximity in leasing and development decisions. Visits from employees traveling less than five miles to work have increased steadily since 2019, reinforcing the value of centrally located offices and housing near employment hubs.

The Growing Patchwork of Building Energy Regulations Is Making Compliance a Nightmare
Federal support for building energy reduction has largely dried up under the Trump administration, which has rolled back incentives and deprioritized sustainability programs. But rather than slowing the momentum toward building energy regulation, the federal retreat has accelerated a trend that’s making life increasingly complicated for property owners: a rapidly expanding patchwork of state and city regulations that vary dramatically in their requirements, metrics, and timelines.
Over 50 U.S. cities now enforce building energy requirements, with nine having enacted strict building performance standards that carry penalties ranging from $100 per day to $268 per ton of carbon emissions. States including California, Colorado, Washington, Massachusetts, and New York have implemented statewide programs. Cities from Seattle to Miami, from St. Louis to Boston, have their own local ordinances...
RSK: Greater Madison does not have that problem yet, but being surrounded by other municipalities and villages it might not be long.
Ken Notes: Wouldn't a sound national policy that was cost effective yet made a real difference be nice. Oh the dreams we once had.

Inside the booming business of wellness third spaces and membership clubs
- A
growing number of consumers are seeking out third spaces and membership
clubs focused on wellness to improve their health while also
socializing.
- Though the concept of third places is not new, the
form and structure of these spaces has transformed significantly over
the past few years, especially in a post-pandemic and digital age.
- Companies like Bathhouse, Othership and Glo30 have hopped on the trend, offering third spaces centered around wellness with opportunities to foster social connections.
A few years ago, Grace Guo began to crave places in New York City where hanging out with friends didn’t have to involve alcohol.
Newly sober and surrounded by friends who also chose not to drink, Guo said she wanted alternatives to the typical social scene. After some research, she landed on Bathhouse and Othership: social wellness clubs designed to create communities around improving health...

‘Man Camps’ are the answer to building data centers
These temporary housing structures with free golf simulators and steak are designed to attract workers
Why the push for sleepaway Dave & Buster’s? With data centers popping up in remote locations, these perks are designed to incentivize construction workers to temporarily relocate.
Dwell-paying business: Companies like Target Hospitality Corp. and Civeo Corp. specialize in short-term housing that can support hundreds of workers for months at a time before packing up and moving to the next town:..
RSK: Read this and you will see why data centers have such high construction costs. Obviously there is plenty of money to be made with them. It is worth the high cost. Man and Women camps are for real.

...Full Story HereAviation Noise Could Be the Next Big Data Point for Property Due Diligence
When flood risk became standard property due diligence in the 2000s, forward-thinking firms built a competitive advantage by adopting assessment protocols early. Today, aviation noise presents the same opportunity, except this time, the market is global, growing exponentially and wide open for professionals who move first.
Global aviation traffic is projected to double by 2040. The US NextGen airspace redesign is concentrating flight paths over residential areas. London Heathrow’s third runway will add 260,000 annual flights. Dubai Airport expects 100 million passengers by 2030. Yet aviation impact assessment remains conspicuously absent from standard property protocols, creating both a massive liability gap and a significant revenue opportunity...

New State Capital Partners Acquires Vast Coworking Group
A New York-based private equity firm is getting into the coworking industry with its latest purchase.New State Capital Partners announced its acquisition of Vast Coworking Group from its former parent company, United Franchise Group. Deal terms weren’t disclosed in a press release Tuesday.

RSK: Co-working is still making headway. It does however show that these purchases are for distressed companies and properties. It may not work with major asking prices. Buyers need a bargain to fend off the risk. Final comment, humans need to be interacting with other humans. We don't like to be alone.
