Avison Young principal Jonathan Pearce tells Bisnow that AY being named one of Canada's best-managed companies for a third year in a row is a nod to the company's growth and evolution—it's no longer the new kid on the block. Jonathan's been with the company 20 years and has seen it grow from "12 to 14 people" to over 1,500 and 54 offices in Canada and the US. AY took the Westjet model—employees have ownership in the company, so "that level of pride is even more extreme." The award is sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC, National Post, Queen's School of Business, and MacKay CEO Forums. Edmonton-based Westcorp was named to the list for the first time, the only other commercial real estate company listed.
