The Southern Arizona CCIM Chapter will be giving its market predictions for 2016 on Tuesday, February 9th at the 25th Annual CCIM Market Forecast Competition, the longest running competition in the nation. There local commercial real estate brokers, lenders and appraisers specializing in the office, retail, multifamily, land, industrial and financing sectors will offer their thoughts, insights and opinions for the new year.
Continuing a long local CCIM tradition, a new Tucson Commercial Real Estate Legend will be honored. Jim Marian of Chapman Lindsey and George Larsen of Larsen Baker founded the tradition to give special recognition to those pioneers, visionaries, contributors, gamblers and risk takers who have helped shape our local market. This year’s inductees into Tucson Legends will be Robert Sarver and family.
This year’s keynote speaker will be Arizona Real Estate Commissioner, Judy Lowe and Robert Sarver, majority owner of the National Basketball Association franchise Phoenix Suns. In 1984, Sarver founded the National Bank of Tucson (which he expanded statewide and changed the name to the National Bank of Arizona). In 1990, he co-founded the real estate company Southwest Value Partners with Millard Seldin. In 1994, he sold the National Bank of Arizona, then the largest independent bank in the state, to Zions Bancorporation. In 1995, Southwest Value Partners purchased the Emerald Plaza in San Diego. In 1995, he acquired Grossmont Bank, one of San Diego's largest community banks. Grossmont was also sold to Zions Bancorporation in 1997. In 2004, his jointly owned real estate firm, Southwest Value Partners, sold the Emerald Plaza and two other San Diego office buildings to Santa Ana real estate firm, Triple Net Properties, for $274.5 million. In 1998, he led Zions Bancorporation's acquisition of Sumitomo Bank of California. In 2003, he became chairman, president, and CEO of Western Alliance Bancorporation.
