About Michael

Michael Buckley is a Principal in Avison Young’s Boston office, where he leads the firm’s capital raising practice. Michael specializes in working with clients who are navigating through opportunities in redevelopment, joint venture formation, property and partnership recapitalizations, acquisitions, and distress resolution. Michael also advises institutions on identifying opportunities and deploying capital into the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Eastern Europe.

Unlike advisors at competing firms, Michael is an accomplished principal investor with an extensive career in real estate investment, development and management prior to joining Avison Young. Through that experience, Michael delivers advisory services and end results built on years of hands-on experience managing the same risks and opportunities faced by his clients. His commitment to assignments does not end once the capital is arranged, as he remains involved in the negotiation and execution of every element of the transaction.

His experience as a principal investor extends across more than 150 transactions involving over $8B of debt and equity capital in both public and private markets in North America and Europe.
