Avenue Living Recognized as a Top Employer for Second Consecutive Year, Highlighting the Power of People Behind Record Growth
Calgary, AB, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avenue Living has once again been named one of Wealth Professional’s Top Employers for 2025, marking the second consecutive year the firm has received this distinction. This year, Avenue Living was recognized as a standout honoree, which underscores the firm’s commitment to building and empowering a diverse, highly skilled workforce as the cornerstone of its growth strategy across Canada and the United States.
Avenue Living is a vertically integrated fund asset and property manager with over 1,000 employees across North America. Through its three platforms – multi-family residential, self-storage, and farmland – the firm combines deep operational expertise with disciplined capital allocation to support sustainable growth. In recent weeks, Avenue Living announced record achievements, including surpassing $8.5 billion in assets under management and $1.2 billion in acquisitions fiscal year-to-date, as well as a significant milestone in unencumbered assets that strengthens liquidity and treasury flexibility.
“This industry recognition from the wealth and asset management community is an incredible honour,” said Anthony Giuffre, Founder and CEO of Avenue Living. “Since 2006, we have taken a meticulous approach to attracting and retaining a top bench of specialists and leaders across various disciplines: capital markets, finance, legal, marketing, communications, operations, HR, and IT. The breadth and depth of our teams have guided our success and supported our rapid growth across three distinct but complementary platforms.”
Part of the firm’s unique advantage is its diverse and equitable leadership, with women making up nearly 50 per cent of its executive team and holding key leadership roles. Avenue Living also supports female leaders through its Women of Influence Mentorship Program, which pairs women from across the firm to benefit from mutual expertise and experiences.
“Our achievement as a Top Employer for a second year in a row reinforces the culture we have built across the firm,” said Leigh Peters, President of Avenue Living Group of Companies. “We are working hard to create a culture where our people are more than just resources – they are the engine driving our continued momentum. By empowering our employees to reach their full potential, we inspire creativity and innovation in all aspects of our business, which in turn promotes long-term, sustainable success for all of our stakeholders.”
This award highlights Avenue Living’s ongoing investment in talent development, mentorship, and diversity of thought. With more than 22 languages spoken across its North American team, the firm fosters new perspectives in every project, department, and decision.
“It’s inspiring to be part of a platform where like-minded people are passionate about growth, financial prudence, and accountability,” said Marina Post, Chief Financial Officer. “We’re a team that transcends individual brands, and we are all building something bigger than ourselves.”
Charlotte Collett, Chief People Officer, adds, “Across all of our platforms we have a careful recruitment strategy that seeks to attract and retain individuals who bring a performance mindset and a shared dedication to customer centricity and operational excellence. This measured and sustainable approach will continue to set us apart in the industry.”
As a disciplined, operations-first asset owner-operator with an unrelenting focus on innovation, Avenue Living continues to deliver for investors while providing best-in-class service to residents, customers, and stakeholders. This second Top Employer award confirms the company’s commitment to its people as its greatest asset.
