In a world before AirBnB, Sonder, and Lyric, AvenueWest saw the business potential for fully-furnished residential rentals. In 1999, AvenueWest Corporate Housing started as a small real estate management company but quickly grew to the largest provider of corporate housing rentals in Colorado. Driven by the development of new ideas, meaningful innovation and vision for corporate growth, in 2010 AvenueWest Global Franchise, LLC was launched. This enabled the national expansion of the AvenueWest Managed Corporate Housing business model. In 2018, AvenueWest Global Franchise, LLC, was named by the State of Colorado as a Colorado Company to Watch. This award acknowledged the drive, excellence and influence of AvenueWest as a growing company in the state. Founded on the principles of service, quality and choice, AvenueWest Global Franchise now has 16 local real estate franchise brokerages and just launched AvenueWest Canada to further its North American expansion.
Today, AvenueWest still has the same mission statement it started with in 1999. We can best serve our tenants and property owners by always improving the quality of everything we do as a team. We are committed to the process of becoming a continuously self-improving organization. There are two secrets to the company's success, says Ms Healy. First, we work hard to run AvenueWest as a team and develop a place where our employees enjoy coming to work, take pride in what they do and create lasting solutions for the tasks at hand. Secondly, we believe in doing business the old-fashioned way, person-to-person with high standards for customer service. "We are able to offer the relocating or traveling professionals more than just a temporary place to call home. We also help them get to know and love their new city like we do. Many of our customers come back to us time and time again because they know they can depend on us for reliable information about the city their employees are relocating to."
"We are now poised for strong growth," believes Ms Healy. "We have proven our original business model and we have perfected and proven our franchise model. We will start by growing to 25 offices by the end of 2020." In addition, AvenueWest has identified over 230 North American cities, where the AvenueWest business model will work and there is sufficient lodging demand.
According to CHPA, "This type of lodging is more than just a place to stay; it is a much-needed service provided for employees experiencing a training or transition. It in turn helps employers achieve their business goals by cultivating more engaged and focused employees. It is estimated that the annual collective U.S. domestic employee transfer volume for Fortune 500 companies is 244,595." As businesses expand and require specific talent, they rely on AvenueWest Managed Corporate Housing to meet the housing needs of their employees. The average AvenueWest tenant stays over 100 days. These furnished rentals are a true home away from home.
