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?
