In this episode, we sit down with Nathan Rupprecht and Adam Kaduce of R&R Realty Group to explore how Iowa roots, legal know-how, and relationship-first strategies are driving commercial real estate innovation in Des Moines. From office evolution to industrial stabilization, Nathan and Adam unpack how R&R is staying ahead of the curve in a shifting market—and why Des Moines may just be the perfect storm for sustainable development and smart investing.

🔑 Top 5 Takeaways:

• Adam’s legal background gives him a sharp edge in deal structuring and negotiations, helping clients navigate complexity with confidence and clarity.

• Why in commercial real estate, the brokers who win are the ones who build long-term relationships—not just close quick deals.

• Post-pandemic tenants want more than square footage. Flexibility, amenities, and wellness features are now must-haves, not extras.

• R&R’s in-house venture model opens the door to deals most can’t access—giving investors a front-row seat to off-market, high-potential CRE projects.

• With strong absorption rates and a business culture rooted in collaboration, both Nathan and Adam see Des Moines as a prime market for sustainable commercial growth.
