Details

Phoenix remains a strong market for an affordable quality of life, ranking 13 on Forbes most affordable cities list. Most recently, Phoenix became the fastest growing city in U.S., surpassing Philadelphia as the 5th largest city in the nation.

The affordability and growth has made Phoenix a prime city for real estate investment, development and new construction. According to Colliers International, the greater Phoenix property market is healthy, paralleling the Arizona economy, which continues to grow at a reliable and steady pace.

With vacancy rates down and leasing rates up across Phoenix's office, industrial and retail markets, what type of new developments can we expect to see in 2018 and years beyond?

What You'll Learn?
1. With Phoenix among the fastest growing cities in the U.S., can developers keep supply up with demand?
2. How will developers secure construction loans as banks continue to tighten their loan regulations?
3. Will Arizona's economy continue to grow at a steady and reliable pace, or will the new G.O.P. tax bill trigger a new, nation-wide financial crisis?
4. Which asset classes in 2018 are strongest for investment and development in Phoenix and the surrounding areas?
5. How will technology transform the way we design, build and think about our communities? Can new technologies play a role in cutting costs without sacrificing jobs?
