EDITOR’S LETTER
Welcome to our new website.There is always a sense of excitement and anticipation when a new product is launched. I was fortunate to be in a bustling and shiny newsroom in September 1982 when USA Today made its debut.
Almost 30 years later I find myself experiencing that same sense of excitement and anticipation as AzBigMedia officially launches AZREmagazine.com, a website devoted entirely to the commercial real estate industry in Arizona.
AZRE magazine will continue to publish bi-monthly with its in-depth coverage, projects news, economic development issues and other compelling articles that our readers have come to expect for the past 7 years. Our new website allows us to bring more timely news and hot-topic issues to those in the CRE industry.
Among the categories:
• Discussion Board: A forum for CRE professionals to discuss issues affecting the industry;
• Industry Experts: Articles submitted by architects, general contractors, real estate lawyers, brokers, etc., providing insight into their particular sector;
• Newest Deals and Closed Sales: AZRE introduces VIZZDA, a service that provides current information on new deals and closed sales;
• Latest News: Breaking news as it affects the CRE industry.If your company has been featured in past issues of AZRE magazine, let us know and we will publish those articles online. My goal is to make AZREmagazine.com a relevant and necessary part of your business day. Check us out.
