While we don’t have a crystal ball to look ahead when it comes to Arizona’s commercial real estate outlook for 2024, several factors historically influence the state’s market — and those companies on the list of the AZ Big 100 for 2024 will be shaping those factors. 

Arizona’s growing population, a key driver for commercial real estate, is often attracted by its business-friendly environment and quality of life. Cities like Phoenix, with a thriving tech industry, are likely to see increased demand for office spaces.

President, Phoenix region // Howard Hughes Holdings 

Melton oversees the development of Teravalis, a 37,000-acre master planned community located in West Valley Phoenix. Melton is a senior leader who has been with the company since 2015. In his previous role as executive vice president of master-planned communities in the Houston region, Melton was responsible for residential planning and development of highly acclaimed master-planned communities in Texas: The Woodlands, Bridgeland and The Woodlands Hills. Now, he is overseeing one of the biggest projects in Arizona history.

“Arizona needs housing,” Melton says. “Whether they’re moving from another part of our state or country, buyers in all life stages need homes, built to the highest possible environmental and design standards — in places where the economy will grow.”

At buildout, Teravalis will be home to 100,000 homes and offer a unique place that supports the health and well-being of its residents, expanded dining and retail options and a place to live, work, play and discover.

“Teravalis is a thoughtfully planned community that bridges the gap between nature and development with diverse housing options, amenities, retail and commercial spaces seamlessly integrated into the landscape,” Melton says. “At least 20% of land will be devoted to open spaces, including walking and biking trails, community parks and natural areas. Built for the future, in harmony with nature, Teravalis strikes a balance between the built and unbuilt environment.”

Melton says Teravalis will help address the housing and affordability crisis in Metro Phoenix. 

“The U.S. experienced the fastest-ever deterioration in housing affordability over the past three years as housing prices soared, followed by a historic mortgage rate shock,” Melton says. “One answer has stood out to solve the affordability crisis — build more housing at all price points and that’s exactly what Teravalis will provide.”

Of note: Teravalis has developed detailed plans to leverage innovation to target a 35% reduction in water consumption compared with the Arizona Department of Water Resources baseline of 146 gallons per person per day, allowing Teravalis to thrive.
