The original story can be read on AZ Big Media, here.

The rush of commercial real estate development has truly become a statewide phenomenon, and the 2020 Real Estate Development (RED) Awards reflect just how widespread the activity has been in Arizona.

AZRE magazine received a record number of nominations for the RED Awards this year, and 17 were for projects away from the Valley, making it a truly statewide event. And just like the number of nominations was something never before seen in the 15-year history of the RED Awards, this year’s RED Awards ceremony is a first, too. Because of the ongoing coronavirus crisis, this year’s RED Awards ceremony is being held virtually, which now makes this annual showcase of Arizona’s best commercial real estate projects a global event.

This year’s projects were some of the most impactful developments the state has seen in this millennium. Now, the world can celebrate the incredible commercial real estate projects that were completed in 2019. Here are the 15th Annual RED Awards.

Here are the finalists for the 2020 RED Awards, by category:
