NEW YORK CITY—Kirsten Beck, VP, Avison Young, has been named one of Real Estate Forum's Women of Influence. She believes that women bring a unique perspective to their roles in commercial real estate, which is changing the way projects are managed.
Beck, who has been with Avison Young for seven-and-a-half years of her 17-year career, launched the firm's New York City Project Management group in late 2012 and has since more than doubled the size of the team.
Responsible for managing the day-to-day activities of the group, Beck also is charged with its profitability and growth. Last year marked the completion of the first significant collaboration between Avison Young's project management group and the firm's brokerage team on behalf of client Federated Investors Management Corp.
Reaching that milestone allowed Beck's team to demonstrate its exceptional project-management skills and the effort provides an example by which future internal projects will be structured at Avison Young.
