Business in Vancouver names Avison Young’s Brett Armstrong among most influential business leaders on BC500 list

Vancouver, BC – Avison Young proudly announces that, for the second year in a row, Brett Armstrong, Principal and Managing Director in Vancouver, has been named an influential business leader on Business in Vancouver’s BC500 list.

Armstrong is named under this year’s Advice category among a group of trusted advisors who have “collectively influenced critical decisions and policies,” writes Business in Vancouver. He is a seasoned leader who joined Avison Young’s Toronto office in 2012 before relocating to Vancouver in mid-2024, where he was named Managing Director in November 2024.

“Great news for Brett and for Avison Young, as we are thrilled to celebrate Brett for his leadership and mentorship,” said Mark Fieder, Principal and President of Avison Young in Canada. “Together with an exceptional group of professionals in the Vancouver office, Brett has forged a strategic path to build Avison Young’s profile in the region – surely one of the reasons why Business in Vancouver has taken notice for their BC500 list of influential leaders.”

In his role, Armstrong drives revenue growth, client experience, team building, and career development, striving to identify opportunities that are true differentiators. He reinforces the importance of weaving technology and data-driven solutions into client offerings, and champions Avison Young’s integrated, holistic approach, where teams partner with service lines and experts across the country and around the world.

“It’s an honour to be named among Business in Vancouver’s most influential business leaders for two years straight,” said Armstrong. “I would not be celebrating this recognition if not for the strong collaboration with colleagues who are committed to excellence and to positive client outcomes in commercial real estate.”

The BC500 features leaders who have a notable impact on British Columbia’s communities, industries, and economy.
