SUCCESS BUIILT ON A STRATEGIC VISION

Since our humble beginnings in 2006, we’ve invested in the everyday. We’ve built our portfolio – and our company – through expert knowledge, strategic thinking, methodical analysis and a keen instinct for opportunities that others might overlook.

OUR STORY

Our unique approach has made us one of the largest private real estate owner/operators in North America. Since 2006, we’ve acquired over $4.25 billion in assets under management across various asset classes, risk profiles, and primary/secondary North American markets.

We like to say our team invests alongside our investors. We consider ourselves stewards of capital – our ultimate goal is to create long-term value, preserve capital, and drive compelling returns through a variety of investment offerings. Avenue Living is the proud steward of $1.75B+ in equity capital, including $300M+ of founders, friends and family capital which sits pari-passu with our investors.

2006

Built from Brooks

Avenue Living traces its roots back to 2006 when we acquired our first 24 units in Brooks, Alberta. We implement a value creation model through renovations and improved management, resulting in enhanced rents and income.

2006-2007

We Execute our Strategy

Avenue Living refinances assets and deploys equity for new acquisitions. We begin building the property management platform in parallel as our portfolio grows.

2007-2014

EXPONENTIAL GROWTH

Our investment strategy allows us to grow from 100 to 5,500 multi-residential units across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba in 7 years. Strategic capital relationships allow us to grow.

2014-2016

Launch of the First Partnership

Avenue Living (2014) LP is established, successfully raising $85 million in private capital. Assets under management total 6,000+ units valued at ~$850 million.

2014-2017

We Focus on Capital Improvements

Management strategically refocuses on launching a major $85 million capital program, renovating the entire portfolio to a new standard of quality, and extending the useful life of properties.

2016-2017

Our Offerings Expand

2018

Our First Billion

We reach our $1 billion assets under management milestone, with the acquisition of a 235 unit town house in Red Deer, Alberta.

2020

Entering a New Market

The closing of our first U.S. acquisitions in Colorado Springs marked the launch of our U.S. Real Estate Trust. The USD$39 million, 342-door Kansas City acquisition in November 2020 also added to our list of milestones, at the time the largest single investment in our history.

2020

Beyond 10,000 Doors

With the acquisition of Hays Farm in November 2020, Avenue Living became the owner and operator of over 10,000 multi-family doors. This achievement was the result of an aggressive strategy that averaged 16 per cent compounded year-over-year growth.

2020

Our Second Billion

A clear focus, robust platform, and strategic, data-driven investment took us over $2 billion in assets under management in December, 2020. In the midst of worldwide economic upheaval and a global pandemic, we grew by $450 million year over year (an increase of 30 per cent).

2021

Our Third Billion

Our growth continued, even in spite of the ongoing pandemic, as we added another $1.5 billion to our AUM in just 1.5 years. Focusing on our proven strategy helped drive us to the $3 billion benchmark and continued to create value for residents and investors.

2021

TAKING THE LEAD IN SUSTAINABILITY

We became a proud signatory of the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the world’s leading proponent of responsible investment. In becoming a PRI signatory, we have made a public commitment to act in the best long-term interests of our beneficiaries and the communities we serve. ESG metrics are critical for the performance of investment portfolios, and we have formally pledged to act in accordance with the six PRI guiding principles.

2021
