Phoenix is growing, and architect Brian Cassidy has been at the forefront of its urban transformation for decades. As the President and CEO of CCBG Architects and Chairperson of the Phoenix Warehouse District Council, Brian has dedicated his career to shaping a more vibrant, walkable, and sustainable city.

In this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, host Tim Fergestad sits down with Brian to explore how Phoenix has evolved from suburban sprawl to a city with a thriving urban core. They dive into topics like:

  • Why Phoenix is one of the most underdeveloped urban cores in the U.S.
  • The shift towards mixed-use developments and higher-density housing
  • The adaptive reuse movement and how old buildings are being repurposed
  • How walkability, sustainability, and good design impact real estate development
  • The challenges and rewards of working in architecture and urban planning

Brian also shares his insights into investing in real estate, the impact of rising interest rates, and how his firm helps developers bring projects to life. Whether you're an investor, a developer, or just someone curious about the future of Phoenix, this episode is packed with valuable insights!
