Episode Overview
In this episode of The Land Development Podcast, Ryan Glick sits down with Adam Kaduce and Nathan Rupprecht from R&R Realty Group in West Des Moines, Iowa. Both guests bring valuable insight from their journeys into the land development industry—Nathan as a third-generation leader in a family business, and Adam through his path from intern to president at R&R Real Estate Advisors.
Nathan shares his experience growing up around real estate but taking time to explore other industries like insurance and banking before joining the family company. He also discusses the value of his finance background and his recent completion of a master’s degree in real estate development from Iowa State University. Adam talks about his early days as an intern, working his way up through hard work, and how building relationships and maintaining a positive attitude helped shape his career. He offers advice to those looking to step into leadership roles within the real estate world.
The conversation also highlights the evolution of R&R Realty over the past 40 years. They discuss the company’s focus on long-term ownership, its unique approach to property management and development, and how they’ve adapted to new trends in both the office and industrial markets. One standout project is the Arcadia building redevelopment, where R&R transformed a former single-tenant space into a modern multi-tenant property featuring daycare, fitness, and collaborative spaces.
