Apartment Market and Sales Insights
When all is said and done – it’s people that make a difference. Christine Mackay has joined the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) as President and CEO. Her impact to the Valley will be huge. She initiated her career as the Economic Development Director for the City of Chandler for 16 years followed by the City of Phoenix Economic Development Director for the past 11 years. Her accomplishments are legendary. For the City of Phoenix, she led the creation of more than $190 billion in capital improvements and 100,000 new jobs. She was also an integral part of the team that traveled multiple times to Taiwan that resulted in the $165 billion TSMC project, spearheading Greater Phoenix as a world-wide semiconductor hub. This area has recently received a commitment from Softbank for a Trillion dollar investment for AI and robotics manufacturing.
A look back in time. In 2017 we held an event at Grand Canyon University (GCU) that focused on central Phoenix and adjacent West Valley. Christine Mackay was one of four keynote speakers and provided insight into what was being planned for the area and the entire Valley. It’s fascinating to see her understanding of our market and how the things we have today were developed. It also provides insight to where we are going. It’s not often we have the ability to look back in time. Link to Video
