Avenue Living Asset Management  recently surpassed $3 billion in assets under management (AUM).

The company began in 2006 with the purchase of some rental units in Brooks, Alberta, for $3 million.

In the past year and a half, Avenue Living has added $1.5 billion in assets, more than doubling its portfolio during the global pandemic. The company says it has proven the resilience of its business model and vertically integrated platform of shared services, which supports the organization’s multi-family residential, commercial, agricultural, and self-storage interests.

“Recent multi-family acquisitions throughout Western Canada, coupled with our ongoing U.S. acquisitions on the multi-family side and the growth of our self-storage business have contributed to this significant $3 billion milestone,” said Anthony Giuffre, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, Avenue Living Group of Companies. “We carefully choose opportunities and build infrastructure that supports everything we do – we’re champions of the everyday. The strength of our platform lies in having sound mind and management — working with the right people, both in our own offices and other areas to help us serve our investors and communities, and to continue to deliver to the Avenue Living gold standard.”
