Avison Young

What Avison Young does

Avison Young is a global commercial real estate advisory firm founded in 1990 and privately held under the parent entity Avison Young (Canada) Inc. The firm delivers a full-service advisory offering across the CRE lifecycle, organized around capital markets transactions, investment brokerage, landlord and tenant representation, project and property management, valuation, and research/consulting. It serves four primary customer segments — real estate investors (private through institutional), corporate occupiers, property landlords and developers, and corporate clients requiring sale-leaseback and transaction advisory — with vertical specialization in industrial and logistics, offices, and retail. Geographic reach spans at least 20 countries across Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, with the Czech Republic subsidiary (Commercial Property Services s.r.o.) serving as the regional hub for CEE activities.

The firm's underlying technology stack combines proprietary market research platforms — including the Sightlines thought leadership library and multi-country CEE investment market reports — with AI capabilities delivered through a March 2026 managed services partnership with CGI. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on advisory mandates, transaction commissions on capital markets and investment brokerage deals, and ongoing property/project management contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led, executed via direct engagement between dedicated principals and enterprise clients through the global office network. Recent strategic activity includes a June 2024 strategic affiliation expanding into Greece and a March 2026 senior Principal hire (Nick Chung) leading governance and change management for a major corporate accounts client group.
