Prior to joining Avison Young, Mike founded Millennium Realty Advisors, a boutique commercial real estate brokerage firm in Northern Virginia, which was acquired by Avison Young in 2011. At Millennium, Mike worked with large national institutional ownerships that foreclosed on real estate and relied on his expertise to guide assets through a successful repositioning. It is these contacts that he utilized to negotiate joint venture partnerships between local developers and larger equity sources to develop new speculative development.  Mike has negotiated nearly 3.5 msf of ground up speculative joint ventures and over 20 ground up preleases in his career.
