MIPIM 2016: Arizona Showcased on the International Stage

Submitted by guest bloggers Scottsdale Area Association of REALTORS® Director of Community & Government Affairs Suzanne Brown, RCE and Commercial Services Committee Co-Chair Peggy Neely

MIPIM 2016 has wrapped up with Arizona receiving unparalleled exposure on the world stage!

Le Marché International des Professionnels de l’Immobilier (The International Market for Real Estate Professionals) is the largest international commercial real estate and investment conference in the world.

It is the one place where you can have direct access to investors, developers, brokers, engineers, architects and all other sectors of related commercial industries. There were more than 24,000 attendees from 90 countries, with 500 attendees from the United States.

Thanks to the Arizona Association of REALTORS® (AAR) in partnership with the Scottsdale Association of REALTORS® and its Commercial Services Committee, we were able to highlight two high-level investment opportunity projects; both are master planned multi-use communities with business, commercial and residential development.

“With the highest projected job growth rate and one of the lowest costs of doing business in the U.S., Arizona is a hub of global commerce and diverse culture that makes it an ideal real estate investment opportunity for second-home buyers and developers.” – 2016 AAR President Paula Serven

These projects brought extensive attention to Arizona and exposure to contacts and connections that we would never have had without attending this mega event. We networked with business professionals, financiers and government officials from around the globe; and believe this event will be the start of many profitable long term relationships from which the Grand Canyon state will benefit.

We would also like to thank the National Association of REALTORS® for providing us with this spectacular opportunity to showcase Arizona in the U.S. Pavilion.
