Rosendin

The 2023 edition of People & Projects to Know (PTK) in Commercial Real Estate is one of our most exciting and dynamic editions yet!

Not only did the team at AZ Big Media receive an overwhelming number of nominations — for people and projects — but the editorial team was also delighted by the variety, uniqueness and thoughtfulness attached to the editorial responses we received.

Mixed in with commercial real estate trends and forecasts, the team behind PTK indulged in a bit of fun by asking the people profiled to share who they’d cast as their cinematic life-story doppelganger. Among talent choices, there were several Chris Pratt, Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrel castings. Some others were “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” era Harrison Ford; Bollywood actress Tabu from “The Namesake” and George Jetson.

You’ll have to check out the 2023 issue of PTK when it hits the streets in November to learn more.

In the meantime, you can help celebrate all the People and Projects to Know in Commercial Real Estate – 2023 Edition at the 2023 PTK launch party that will be held at 999 Playa Del Norte in Tempe.

The presenting sponsor and host is Irgens. The dessert sponsor is Bell Bank. The promotional sponsor is Rosendin.
