The Problem: How to help businesses make better, more informed real estate decisions
The question that Avison Young’s clients ask regularly is, “What’s the best location for my office, (industrial) business, or retail location?” But in asking this question, they really want to know more. Is a location easily accessible by highways or public transportation? Are there plenty of lunch options in the area? For retail locations, will the store or restaurant be well-positioned to reach the largest number of target consumers?
In other words, these businesses come to Avison Young not only to make better and more informed commercial real estate site selection decisions but also to get deeper real-time insights into what’s actually happening at ground level around those locations. And with local market dynamics—including property availability—changing faster than ever before, having access to the right location data at the right time is critical for faster decision-making.
