Plans to make a segment of Madison’s Regent Street near Camp Randall Stadium more pedestrian-friendly are nearing completion.

City staff and consultants are set to recommend the street become a three-lane road with expanded 8-foot sidewalks between Randall and Park streets following a presentation at a Jan. 26 public meeting. The new traffic configuration would see one lane going in each direction with a central left turn lane.

Parking and loading zones would also change along the five-block section. In Regent Street’s current four-lane layout, the two outside lanes are reserved for parking during non-peak times, with parking and loading in the approximately 48 on-street vehicle spaces prohibited during morning and evening rush hours.

The proposed reconfiguration would see that number of parking and loading zones drop to 17 to make room for sidewalk cutouts, which are designed to make more room for pedestrians, sidewalk cafes, bus shelters, benches and planters...

Starbucks is adding more customizable and colorful non-coffee beverages as the popularity of 7Brew and Dutch Bros continues to grow

At the start of Brian Niccol’s tenure as CEO of Starbucks nearly 18 months ago, the “Back to Starbucks” strategy focused on reviving the company’s past successes, drawing inspiration from policies that had defined its earlier years.

This approach emphasized a return to a pared-down, coffee-centric menu and the addition of more comfortable seating in cafes, aiming to recreate that nostalgic Starbucks experience. Niccol envisioned a resurgence of customers lingering in cafes, working on their laptops over a mug of dark roast coffee — a stark contrast to today’s bustling Starbucks lobbies, where crowds gather to wait for their mobile pickup orders...

Alexandria Real Estate Equities posted $754 million in revenue for Q4 2025, beating expectations by 21%, while completing 1.2 million square feet of leasing, its highest quarterly volume in a year. On the surface, operations look functional. Same-store occupancy even ticked up 30 basis points to 90.9%.

But dig beneath those numbers and a company in crisis-management mode emerges. Alexandria recorded $1.45 billion in impairments, and executives acknowledged on the earnings call that the life science market remains fundamentally broken and unlikely to recover for years. Executive Chairman Joel Marcus put it plainly: “2026 is all about timely execution of our plan,” with a focus on asset sales and balance sheet preservation. The industry is treading water while waiting for venture capital to return, and Alexandria’s leasing strategy shows just how strained conditions have become.

Take-Away with Sam Oches

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Cameron Mitchell, founder and CEO of Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, a Columbus, Ohio based group that has 68 restaurants across 20-plus concepts from coast to coast. When Cameron set out to be a restaurateur over three decades ago, before he ever opened a restaurant, he wrote that he wanted to build a company with “great people delivering genuine hospitality,” and that continues to be the mantra driving the renowned hospitality in his group. His flagship brand is Ocean Prime, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and expects to close the year with around $285 million in sales at just 21 locations. Sam sat down with Cameron in Columbus at Mitchell’s Ocean Club — the original Ocean Prime location — to learn more about his philosophy around hospitality and how that has a direct impact on sales.

Industrial and retail sectors slow as multifamily returns to positive territory

Cassville, located in southwest Wisconsin in the Driftless area, is a possible site for a $1 billion data center, the Wisconsin State Journal reported. 

It is the eighth major data center project proposed in Wisconsin, with one in DeForest recently rejected. 

The town will know in the coming months if Grant County is still in consideration for the data center project. 

It’s a rare move to be notified ahead of time of a data center possibility, with projects having been hidden behind NDAs and secrecy.

In and around Boston, layoffs in the region’s cluster of biotechnology companies are unnerving to many. The Boston Business Journal recently counted 4,100 layoffs through 2025, with more to come as a mix of forces hit home in one of the nation’s oldest hubs of biotech and pharmaceutical research and development.

Are the layoffs a “canary in the laboratory” for Wisconsin, which has counted on life sciences companies large and small for much of its technology-related growth?

That’s possible, but the diversity of the state’s emerging and mature medical technology firms offers some economic insulation — even as a blend of factors, globally and locally, erect caution signs down the road.

Recent conversations with some veteran early stage investors and company founders painted a mosaic of Wisconsin challenges:

• Competition with China, especially around drug development;

• Major investments in artificial intelligence sucking some of the air out of the deal room;

• The effects of AI tools on conventional life sciences research;

• Regulatory paths that take too long while consuming company dollars;

• Cuts in federal research spending that can crimp major universities and companies alike.

Another major factor: While Wisconsin produces its share of life sciences startups, a lack of venture capital up the food chain makes it harder to achieve what investors call an “exit.” That’s defined as a profitable sale, merger or acquisition of a successful young company; an event that pumps profits back into the system.

Over the past decade, we’ve seen a significant shift in what tenants expect from office spaces. From integrated technology to sustainable infrastructure, the companies renting your building want more than a space for their employees to work. They’re looking for offices that reflect their brand image and, most importantly, highlight their dedication to employee wellbeing for environments that go beyond desks and chairs.

At the same time, the competition for high-quality tenants has intensified. If you’re looking to secure a reliable business in your building, you need to create a space that aligns with their needs and suits its purpose – including when it comes to office lighting design...

Despite protests in small towns and cities across the US, the Trump administration is pushing ahead with the purchase of warehouses it plans to convert into immigration jails in what could be the largest expansion of such detention capacity in US history.

The cost for acquiring two warehouses alone was $172 million. A third in El Paso, Texas, could be among the largest jails of any kind in the country if completed as envisioned, with 8,500 beds. The deals mark the latest turn in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s plan to use as many as 23 warehouses for detaining thousands of immigrants arrested by federal agents in Minneapolis and other cities. Those aggressive enforcement actions have ignited clashes with protesters and led to agents killing two US citizens...
