Creating positive impact through real estate

At Avison Young, we take our social responsibility very seriously and place it at the heart of our business strategy.

We believe that commercial real estate isn’t just about the buildings, square footage and occupancies. At its best, it’s about spaces and places that improve lives and help businesses thrive; for the employees, citizens and communities that make the impact matter.

Social responsibility is something both Avison Young and our clients care passionately about.

We have a team of talented individuals within our business, who campaign for positive change across our industry and sectors, and we also have ongoing community initiatives that contribute to improving our local communities.

Building our community relationships has proved to be one of our most powerful contributions; these relationships are invaluable and have led to lasting opportunities, including clients sharing their experiences, workspace, and capabilities locally.

For our colleagues, actively contributing to their local community helps them feel more connected to where they work, the neighborhood that surrounds their office and their workspaces.

Shared below are some of the good things we’ve made happen by playing an active role in developing our workplace culture, creating vibrant cities, and creating long-lasting social impacts for the communities within them.
