Fiduciary Real Estate Development

Please join us in welcoming our 2026 Summer Interns Jacob Brooks and Lucy Heimerl, representing the University of Wisconsin-Madison!

Throughout the summer, they'll gain hands-on experience across all areas of real estate, working alongside our team and learning from professionals across the organization. From development and construction to property management and operations, they'll have the opportunity to see firsthand how great communities are planned, built, and managed.

Through project involvement, site visits, and mentorship, Lucy and Jacob will gain valuable industry knowledge while building skills that will support their future careers.

We're thrilled to have them on board and look forward to all they'll accomplish this summer. Welcome to FRED, Lucy and Jacob!

Today our Groundwork Committee hosted a meaningful event where we learned more about the American Cancer Society, their mission, and the important local impact they continue to make in our communities.

We kicked off the morning with AM Coffee Co, who served handcrafted beverages before an insightful presentation that followed.

With many members of our team and loved ones personally impacted by cancer, FRED is proud to support this cause. We are honored to have donated $10,000 to the American Cancer Society to help continue research and the fight to end cancer.

Your future starts here and grows with us!

Continuing Construction Week with another highlight, today we’re featuring Construction Intern Abigail Spilde.

Construction has always been part of Abigail’s life. With her dad working as a residential drywaller and her mom as a residential HVAC technician, she discovered her passion for building early on. Now a first-generation graduating senior at the University of Wisconsin–Platteville, she is earning her B.S. in Construction Management with an emphasis in Construction Safety, along with minors in Architecture and Business, while also beginning her Master’s in Project Management.

She attributes her success to personal drive, a strong focus on safety management, effective communication, and strong problem-solving skills. At the core of it all is her belief that “everyone should go home safe to their families at the end of the day.”

Her advice to women entering the industry is simple: “Learn like a sponge and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Throw your hair up in your hardhat and be proud to be a woman in construction.”

We’re proud to have Abigail on our team and excited to watch her continue growing in this industry.
