AZRE Magazine March/April 2013

Outlook is good for a favorable prediction

Peter MadridIf there’s one thing we like to do, it’s make predictions. And to our benefit, we have experts whose job it is to do exactly that.

We watch the local newscasts and count on meteorologists to provide an accurate weather forecast. We look to our financial advisors to predict the right stocks or mutual funds in which to invest.

The March/April issue of AZRE is all about predictions. It includes our annual commercial real estate outlook. It’s the one issue in which I tap into the collective expertise of my industry sources. And in the almost 3 years I’ve been editor, I have put together quite an all-star team.

This year’s offering includes a main outlook story, plus an additional piece on one of 2012’s hottest markets, the multifamily sector.

In order to get a true indication of what lies ahead in 2013, I made sure I included the voices of small- to mid-size architecture firms, general contractors and brokers. Coming out of the recession, these are the companies I know have their fingers on the pulse of the industry.

This issue also includes the 2013 RED Award winners. Again we had some great projects in 2012. And by all indications, 2013 is shaping up to be a good year. That’s one prediction of which I’m pretty sure.
