The Scottsdale Airpark corridor — a roughly 5-square-mile area that includes the airport, shopping centers, corporate offices and sports venues — has reached record levels for jobs and businesses, according to a recent report from Colliers International.
The real-estate brokerage estimates there were 54,100 people working at 2,950 businesses within the "Greater Scottsdale Airpark" as of December 2014. That's about 700 more jobs than the previous year and about 6,000 more than in 2009.
