Back in Business, Back in Buildings: How Property Managers are Bringing in Tenants

When Laura Fishback joined Avison Young as Dallas Market Leader a month before the pandemic shutdowns in 2020, the newest member of the property management team thought she’d have plenty of time to get acclimated.

“It was just the opposite,” she says. “Property management was thrown into hyperdrive.”

At the time, Avison Young had only one building (a 156,000-square-foot Class A+ office building) under management. Flash forward to 2022 and the firm now manages seven office buildings totalling 418,000 square feet, four medical office buildings totaling 167,000 square feet and three industrial sites totaling more than one million square feet.

Fishback credits that growth to being persistent, engaged and truly caring
about the client’s needs. “This is a major differentiator with us: we listen to what our clients need and make it happen,” she says.

As an example, Fishback offers the story of Avison Young-Dallas’ second property management client: Metrocrest Hospital Authority. She cold-called a contact there and hit it off, discussing how they could address and improve the asset’s property management needs. Click to read more at www.rednews.com.
