The AZRE Forum will be held on Aug. 3 at the Camby and Brent Herrington, president and CEO of DMB, will sit on one of the three feature panels. The first two panels will focus on the multifamily, retail, office and industrial commercial real estate sectors in Arizona. The final panel will give an update on the state of the commercial real estate industry in Arizona.

Herrington will be speaking on the panel focusing on the State of the State.

Tickets for the AZRE Forum can be purchased here. Last year, the AZRE Forum focused on a variety of trends including access to capital, infill development and much more.

Here is a closer look at Herrington. 

Herrington provides strategic leadership for the DMB organization and oversees all aspects of the company’s operations. He joined DMB in 1998 and has been actively involved in the visioning and strategy of many of the company’s major projects since that time. Prior to joining DMB he served as town manager for Celebration, Florida, a 5,000-acre planned community developed by the Walt Disney Company.

Business advice: “The best real estate developers have an uncanny ability to design places and spaces that people really love. When designing a new project, focus first on what’s most important to the people who will live, work or play in the environment you are creating. In real estate, making people happy and making a lot of money tend to go hand in hand.”
