Quote
Madison focuses on responsible investing and advancing local economies. The company integrates ESG principles into specific asset initiatives which enhance its communities and the firm at large. Examples include the repositioning of a former church to a highly successful and impactful charter school in an opportunity zone with a focus on social justice, a 3-acre rooftop farm (one of the largest in the U.S.) in an industrial zone, and environmental clean-up efforts for industrial real estate throughout the country.
