In this episode, the Investor Relations team—Nick Jackson, Kyle Macdonald, and Bart Diehl—dive into three big topics shaping Arizona's future. From the nostalgia (and pain) of stepping on Legos to the major news of Lego's Consumer & Shopper Engagement team moving to Tempe, we explore why global brands keep choosing the Valley. We then break down which Phoenix suburbs are leading the nation in both growth and affordability, and what that means for first-time buyers versus renters.

In this episode, we explore two powerful forces shaping the Valley's future.
