An energetic crowd packed Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort on Thursday as AZRE magazine held its annual Real Estate & Development (RED) Awards. The RED Awards highlight impressive projects completed in the last year, as well as the companies and people that make each project possible.

"This year, we received more nominations than ever, a great sign that commercial real estate development is alive and well in Arizona," said AZ Big Media Publisher Cheryl Green, "so I think we can all agree that being a part of all of the amazing growth in Arizona makes us all the real winners."

Here's the list of this year's RED Award winners by category:

Located just north of the Health Sciences Education Building, the Biomedical Sciences Partnership Building (BSPB) serves as a hub for health care science and research. Housing researchers with a myriad of backgrounds — such as flow cytometry, physics, materials science, electrical and mechanical engineering, chemistry, biology and nanotechnology — the building will allow for the discovery of innovative solutions to today's most pressing health issues. The 2-year construction on the $136 million building is expected to translate into nearly 500 jobs initially and another 360 permanent jobs at build out.OWNER: University of ArizonaGENERAL CONTRACTOR: DPR Construction; Sundt ConstructionARCHITECT: CO Architects; Ayers Saint GrossSUBCONTRACTORS: Barrett-Homes Contractors; Cannon & Wendt Electric; KT Fabrication; Kovach Building Enclosures; University Mechanical & Engineering ContractorsSIZE: 244,650 SFVALUE: $106,807,262LOCATION: 475 N.

The BUMCP's emergency department is more spacious, sophisticated and accessible to first responders and patients than ever before thanks to the collaborative work of Banner, DPR, HKS and 66 subcontractors. The team worked through countless utility challenges, MEP challenges, design changes, budget updates, before the project broke ground (almost a year's time). The bloodline to the BUMCP project is its utilities. Faced with the reality of having to re-route the utilities, the team spent four months designing an underground tunnel that would carry them from the central plant to the new ED. Plans were halted when a mechanical contractor exposed that every elbow needed for the underground pipe would cost $10,000 each. The increased capacity sets the precedent for a superior environment for care for the community, including shorter wait times for patients. Medical professionals now see around 90,000 patients a year as opposed to 65,000 patients a year.OWNER: Banner HealthGENERAL CONTRACTOR: DPR ConstructionPROJECT MANAGER: Banner HealthARCHITECT: HKS ArchitectsSIZE: 297,458 SFVALUE: $133,180,060LOCATION: 1111 E.

At a bustling plaza in North Phoenix, Great Hearts Academies had one goal in mind: expansion of its offerings to more students in a cost-conscious, environmentally suitable and highly effective learning environment. Two existing academies are now located on the new campus: Archway North Phoenix (grades K-6) and North Phoenix Preparatory (grades 7-12), serving approximately 1,300 students since it opened on August 10th, 2017, and soon to serve as many as 1,600 students when operating at full capacity. The architects master planned a campus for the 10.1-acre site that could serve the two academies’ distinct student populations and discrete needs. This required striking a balance between dedicated and shared facilities. The two academies each enjoy dedicated exterior green space, for example: North Phoenix Preparatory has its own 14,500-square-foot courtyard while Archway North Phoenix enjoys a separate 17,000-square-foot playground and courtyard.OWNER: Great Hearts ArizonaGENERAL CONTRACTOR: Adolfson & Peterson ConstructionPROJECT MANAGER: Nations GroupARCHITECT: Studio MaSUBCONTRACTORS: McCain Construction, Pete King Construction, SiteWorks, Stone Cold Masonry, Venetian PlasteringBROKERAGE: Colliers International (Todd Noel)SIZE: 93,418 SFVALUE: $16.5MLOCATION: 14100 N. 32nd St., PhoenixSTART/COMPLETION: October 2016 – August 2017
