AZRE FORUM PANELISTS

ADAM BAUGH Partner

Withey Morris Baugh, PLC

BACKGROUND: Adam Baugh is a partner at Withey Morris Baugh, where he has been practicing land use and zoning law since 2007. He is an experienced problem-solver with a talent for removing obstacles that impede development. Baugh’s relationships help developers and businesses succeed in situations that seem impossible. He regularly appears before neighborhood organizations, planning commissions, city councils, and appellate hearings to advocate and obtain land use entitlements, business approvals, municipal agreements and development agreements.

IMPORTANCE OF AZRE FORUM: “Real estate and land use are the driving force of our economy and future growth which is why I participate in events that educate, inform and share news about trends that impact our industry.”

TREND TO WATCH: “Water is a key trend for 2024. With the Governor’s recent announcement on withholding Assured Water Supply certificates in certain areas, it could have significant consequences on real estate development, transactions, land values, housing supply and more.”

SOURCE OF PRIDE: “Anybody can entitle 10,000 acres in the middle of Nowhere, Arizona, where there are few people to object. What gives me most pride is obtaining city council approval on a dense, infill site, surrounded by an opposing mob of neighbors. That is a feat few people accomplish and live to tell.”
