Avison Young Company Research Note
Current company description
Avison Young describes itself as a global commercial real estate advisor. Its current About page says the firm is headquartered in Toronto, was founded in 1978, has legacies extending more than 200 years, employs approximately 5,000 real estate professionals, operates more than 100 offices, and is majority owned by its Principals.
Those are current first-party claims. They need an as-of date and attribution. The company should not be described as publicly traded or as a subsidiary of a named parent without separate corporate evidence.
Service model
Current Avison Young materials organize the firm's work around occupiers, investors, owners, and developers. Public service descriptions include leasing and brokerage, capital markets, tenant representation, portfolio and transaction management, valuation and advisory work, property and facilities management, workplace strategy, and project and construction management.
The company serves multiple property sectors. Its public property search and market materials cover office, industrial, retail, multifamily, hospitality, healthcare, automotive, and self-storage among other categories.
Independent corporate context
UK Companies House lists AVISON YOUNG HOLDINGS LIMITED, company number 08963626, as an active private limited company incorporated on March 27, 2014. That record is useful for confirming the status of a UK legal entity. It does not establish the global group's headquarters, total size, ownership structure, or consolidated financial position.
No private financial estimate is needed for this page.
Relationship to E081
Avison Young does not appear by name in the E081 transcript. The current Luke Tatman relationship is supported by his LinkedIn profile and California DRE records. Historical 2024 public records also connect Luke to the firm.
The company page must not imply that Avison Young sponsored, endorsed, reviewed, or participated in E081. It must not retroactively name Avison Young as the employer Luke deliberately or incidentally left unnamed in the recording.
