Avison Young Opens Office in San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO—Avison Young is giving San Antonio a go.

The new office will be the company's fourth in Texas, and 49th office in the U.S., contributing to its continued growth over the past six years, going from 11 to 71 offices in 64 markets, and from 300 to more than 2,000 real estate professionals across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. There are offices in Dallas, Houston and Austin.

“As is the case with all of our recruiting and acquisitions, the opening in San Antonio was strategic and deliberate,” Mark Rose, Avison Young CEO told GlobeSt.com. “Avison Young is building the differentiated platform of choice for institutional, opportunistic and multi-national clients.”

Marshall Davidson is principal of Avison Young and managing Director of the new San Antonio office, and will oversee the growth and development of Avison Young's presence in the San Antonio area, and managing the day-to-day operations of the office. He will also continue his brokerage and consulting services on behalf of new and existing clients.

Davidson brings 12 years of commercial real estate brokerage and management experience, most recently as a partner and managing principal of McCombs Davidson Studley in San Antonio. Before forming McCombs Davidson Studley, he led his own San Antonio-based firm, Davidson Gill. Prior to that, he was a director at Cushman & Wakefield of Texas Inc. in Houston, where he was involved in more than $1.3 billion in sale and lease transactions.

The opening of Avison Young's new San Antonio office follows firm's commencement of project management services in San Antonio in May 2015 through the acquisition of Pennsylvania-based project management company Remington Group Inc.
