Bjerk Builders CEO Nate Lowrie Named One of AZ Big 100’s “50 Commercial Real Estate Leaders to Watch in 2026”
We’re proud to announce that Nate Lowrie, Owner and CEO of Bjerk Builders, has been featured in the AZ Big 100: 50 Commercial Real Estate Leaders to Watch in 2026 list by AZ Big Media, a recognition honoring the most impactful leaders shaping Arizona’s commercial real estate landscape.
Each year, AZ Big Media and the editorial board of AZRE Magazine curate the AZ Big 100 list which is known for spotlighting the individuals whose vision, leadership, and innovation are driving growth, investment, and opportunity across the state. The “Commercial Real Estate Leaders to Watch” category recognizes those who are influencing the future of development, construction, community impact, and economic progress throughout Arizona.
A Leader with Purpose and Vision
Nate Lowrie’s journey reflects a unique blend of entrepreneurial spirit, community commitment, and strategic leadership. A fourth-generation Arizonan, Nate grew up immersed in the values of hard work and relationship-driven business, values he carries into every project and partnership at Bjerk Builders.
Before leading Bjerk Builders, Nate’s professional experience spanned founding and growing businesses, serving as CEO of the Valleywise Health Foundation, and leading other ventures such as L&N Investment Company and Bicycle Haus. He earned his degree magna cum laude from Arizona State University’s W. P. Carey School of Business in entrepreneurial and small business operations.
Innovative Impact Beyond Construction
What stands out about Nate isn’t just his role in commercial construction, it’s how he blends purpose with performance. One of the most notable examples cited in his AZ Big 100 profile was his decision to lead a group of burn survivors to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro – a journey that became a documentary, inspired record-breaking fundraising, and helped build the new Halle Arizona Burn Center. This effort exemplifies how Nate views leadership: not just about building structures, but building hope and trust.
In his own words, Nate emphasizes that success is rooted in faith and people, and that learning, whether from books, podcasts, or personal experience, fuels growth at both the individual and organizational levels.
Thank You for Helping Build Arizona’s Future
We couldn’t be more proud to see Nate recognized among Arizona’s top commercial real estate leaders. This honor reflects not only his impact but the commitment of the entire Bjerk Builders team to deliver excellence while strengthening the communities we serve.
