The AZRE Forum will be held on Aug. 3 at the Camby and Dennis Desmond, senior managing director of JLL, 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.

Desmond will be speaking on the panel focusing on Arizona’s industrial and office markets.

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 Desmond. 

Desmond has two distinct roles: leading his own successful investment sales practice within the Phoenix Capital Markets Group and directing the growth of the Phoenix office as a whole. It’s a process that has transformed the team into an award-winning brokerage group providing office, industrial and retail tenant and landlord representation, multifamily investment services, property management services and construction services.

Business advice: “Work hard. Start with the basics and learn them well. Always look at each of your transactions from the perspective of both the buyer/seller or landlord/tenant to ensure you are making accurate decisions and providing maximum benefit.”
