Highly regarded industry leader becomes Principal,
will focus on office tenant and landlord representation
BOSTON, MA, Jan. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Michael Smith, Avison Young Principal and Managing Director of the firm's New England region, announced today that commercial real estate industry veteran Patrick Buckley has joined the firm in Boston.
Effective immediately, Buckley becomes a Principal of Avison Young and will focus on tenant and landlord representation in the Boston office market. He brings more than 15 years of commercial real estate experience in Greater Boston to Avison Young, most recently as a Senior Vice-President with CBRE.
"Patrick is a highly regarded industry leader with outstanding credentials and a successful track record of delivering creative strategies and solutions to tenants and landlords – as well as private and institutional investors," comments Smith. "His market knowledge, client relationships and outstanding leadership skills make him an ideal fit for our firm, and his presence will bring an even greater depth of overall leasing experience that we can offer to clients."
During his career, Buckley has represented such notable clients as Bankers Life & Casualty; Santander; Delaware North; Rhythm Pharmaceuticals; Flywire, Ziopharm; Beacon Capital; Brookfield Office Properties; Rockpoint Group; Jumbo Capital; and Berkeley Investments, among others.
Buckley began his real estate career in 2003 at Colliers where he was a Vice-President for seven years. He then joined Richards Barry Joyce & Partners, which was later acquired by Transwestern where he was a Senior Vice-President until the local office was acquired by CBRE in early 2018.
"I am very excited to join Avison Young's talented team of leasing professionals," says Buckley. "Avison Young has experienced tremendous growth over the past several years, and I look forward to being a contributor to the company's continued success. I am proud to be a part of this team, which prides itself on providing creative real estate strategies and space solutions for tenants and landlords alike."
Buckley is active in the industry as a member of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board's Commercial Brokers Association. In the community, he sits on the Sudbury Lacrosse board and, for the past eight years, has served on the board of Bridge Over Troubled Waters, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing life-changing solutions for homeless, runaway and at-risk youth.
Buckley holds a Bachelor of Science degree in finance from Villanova University, where he captained the men's lacrosse team.
