AZRE Red Awards 2019

The Real Estate and Development (RED) Awards — which are considered the Academy Awards of Arizona’s commercial real estate industry — honored last year’s top brokers, architects, contractors, developers and projects Wednesday night at Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort.

“I grew up in New York and long before he was president, I actually got to meet Donald Trump and I asked him the key to success in commercial real estate,” joked AZ Big Media Editor in Chief Michael Gossie. “Trump said, ‘Do you want to know how to make $100 million in commercial rate estate? … Start with $400 million.’”
