Published on
The founder of Gammage & Burnham, Grady Gammage Jr., will receive the 2017 Award of Excellence from NAIOP Arizona at the 2017 Best of NAIOP on March 30 at the Arizona Biltmore.
“Forty years of watching Phoenix grow has been endlessly fascinating. In that time, the commercial real estate market has evolved into making this one of America’s most distinctive cities,” Gammage said. “NAIOP has been a critical part of increasing the sophistication of real estate development. The NAIOP awards have raised the bar for the aesthetics and quality of our built environment. I’m proud to be a part of this year’s awards.”
Gammage’s work focuses on urban growth and development. He is a part-time professor, a practicing lawyer, an author, a real estate developer and a former elected official. In his academic role, he is a Senior Fellow at Arizona State University’s Morrison Institute, the Kyl Center for Water Policy and a Senior Scholar at the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability. He also teaches at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and at the W.P. Carey School of Business.
As a lawyer, he has represented real estate projects ranging from master planned communities to subdivisions to high-rise buildings. He served on the Central Arizona Project Board of Directors for 12 years, and was president during a period of turbulence when the CAP was suing the federal government over the cost of the canal.
