T
he work of women in commercial real estate does not pass by unnoticed. The effect the professionals pictured below have on Arizona can be seen with just a glance of the Arizona skyline. A number of commercial buildings in Arizona exist and thrive today thanks to the women who designed, develop, manage and market them. AZRE chose to honor these achievements by recognizing a number of women who stand out in the industry.
In order to do so, we took a deeper look into the work of women within the industry and picked 20 who exemplify the qualities of a successful leader in commercial real estate. The accomplishments of 15 of these women have stemmed from years in the industry, while the remaining five are who we consider “Generation Next” — a group of women who are already making a name for themselves in their respective fields at a young age. From architects to brokers and marketing managers, the women on this list excel in their work and within their communities, making a lasting impact on Arizona and its future.
