NEW YORK CITY—In an effort to expand its tri-state market presence, Avison Young has opened a Fairfield/Westchester office.
The newest American office represents Avison Young's first office in Connecticut, fourth office in the Tri-State area, 41st office in the U.S. and its 43rd office outside of Canada. Over the past five years, Avison Young has grown from 11 to 58 offices in 47 markets, and from 300 to more than 1,500 real estate professionals across Canada, the US and in Europe.
Seasoned industry professional Sean Cahill is a principal and managing director of the firm's new Fairfield/Westchester office, working closely with Avison Young tri-state president Arthur Mirante to establish the firm's presence in southern Connecticut and suburban New York. Cahill was most recently a SVP at CBRE in Stamford, CT.
Says Earl Webb, Avison Young's president, US operations, “The local market knowledge and depth of client experiences and relationships that Sean brings to Avison Young will significantly expand the reach of our tri-state platform, providing us with the opportunity to service the needs of our clients who have, or are considering, a presence in the Fairfield or Westchester county markets.
Additionally, Sean's credibility as a proven leader positions us strongly in recruiting top talent and developing new business opportunities to build our local platform the right way.”
“The expansion of our tri-state operations allows us to create regional synergies in servicing the needs of our corporate and institutional clients,” notes Mirante. “The economies of Fairfield and Westchester counties and New York City are closely intertwined, enabling us to tap into the relationships and reach of our team to collaborate in identifying new opportunities for growth. Sean's track record as one of the region's most accomplished professionals will provide us with the network and insight needed to enter the Connecticut and suburban New York markets quickly, and immediately begin building our book of business.”
“I am very excited to utilize my more than 25 years of experience in the Fairfield and Westchester county real estate markets to take this next step in my career and play an integral role in building Avison Young's regional presence here,” says Cahill. “The firm's collaborative culture and principal-led structure provide the foundation for superior client service, and the firm's rapid expansion to date demonstrates the strong demand that exists for Avison Young's solutions-based approach.”
