Medical Diagnostic Imaging (MDI) to Relocate to HSA Commercial’s Office Building Redevelopment in Wauwatosa, WI


Medical Office Building, 3077 North Mayfair Road, Wauwatosa, WI

CHICAGO, IL and  MILWAUKEE, WI  — HSA Commercial Real Estate announced the firm has executed a 4,557-square-foot lease with Medical Diagnostic Imaging (MDI) for the final remaining ground floor space at 3077 N. Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa, Wis.

Dr. David Hinke
 MDI, which specializes in providing hospital-quality radiology services at affordable prices in convenient outpatient environments, will relocate its existing imaging center operations from 8522 W. Capitol Drive in Milwaukee to the recently redeveloped mixed-use building at the southwest corner of Mayfair Road and Burleigh Street.

Based on current construction schedules, the new MDI imaging center is scheduled to open later this year.

“Medical Diagnostic Imaging (MDI) is excited to move one of its locations to 3077 N. Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa later this year,” said Dr. David Hinke, president of MDI. “We look forward to extending these services to patients and clinicians in this area and becoming part of this growing community.”

Brenton Schrader, vice president of retail leasing and marketing with HSA Commercial Real Estate, said:

“Although these ground floor spaces were originally designed for retail uses, we are finding that medical groups such as the Orthopedic Institute and MDI really value the exposure and convenience of access and parking that these properties offer as well as the restaurant and retail amenities nearby.

Brenton Schrader
“As we continue to build out the rest of The Mayfair Collection, we are mindful of this merger of retail and healthcare and are increasingly working with more medical groups to explore opportunities for clinical and administrative office locations within the various phases of our project.”

The Orthopedic Institute of Wisconsin and Athletico both opened clinics in the neighboring storefronts at 3077 N. Mayfair Road earlier this year.

Sound West Group and Securities Veteran Greg Genovese Launch New Company in Seattle Focused on Qualified Opportunity Zone Funds



Greg Genovese

SEATTLE, WA– Sound West Group, a leading property developer and asset manager in Seattle, Washington, announced today the launch of Sound West Realty Capital, an investment firm primarily focused on the sponsorship of project-specific qualified opportunity zone funds, in partnership with securities and real estate investment industry veteran Greg Genovese.

Sound West Realty Capital’s opportunity zone investment strategy is the result of a comprehensive internal study initiated in March 2018 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which allows for the creation of opportunity zones in each of the 50 states.

The Sound West study determined that there are notable investor advantages and program structures available to best facilitate successful opportunity zone investments. The study also estimates that the demand for this type of investment program will be significant.

Wes Larson
Genovese, a 30-year veteran of the real estate securities industry, leads Sound West Realty Capital as principal and president. 

He has played pivotal roles in the creation and growth of some the country’s largest and most respected realty capital groups.

“The timing is right for us to take this next step as we’ve continued to grow our development and asset management business,” said Sound West Group Chief Executive Officer Wes Larson.

"We have built a reputation over many years of delivering above average returns for our investors while also providing socially responsible, investor-centric programs, and the launch of Sound West Realty Capital is a natural extension for our expertise.

“Our entry into the real estate securities capital markets is one we are well-suited and prepared for with Greg at the helm. I’ve worked with Greg for more than 20 years in the securities industry and he is a phenomenal leader. His proven abilities to create and grow realty capital companies that are best in class make this venture a great match.”

Jonathan Morris



Jonathon Morris, a professor in Georgetown University’s Master of Professional Studies in Real Estate program and a Sound West Realty Capital board member, said:

“I particularly like that Sound West is focused on project-specific programs supported by tax opinions.

"The tax advantages are outstanding, of course, and opportunity zone funds can be a real game changer, but I’ve always cautioned investors to not invest exclusively because of the tax advantages.

“Rather, invest because of your belief in the project, the demographic drivers, the management, and the exit strategies. History tells us that deals are successful because they are good deals and managed properly, period.”

A qualified opportunity zone fund is a new investment vehicle created as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, where people can invest their gains from prior investments into designated state opportunity zones. 

These investments provide significant tax benefits to investors and stimulate economic development and job creation. 

The tax benefits include a temporary deferral of taxes arising from gains invested in an opportunity zone, an increase in basis that reduces the amount of taxes ultimately owed in respect of the deferred gains, and a potentially permanent exclusion from taxable income of gains arising from the new investment in the qualified opportunity zone fund.
