Avi Avidan has more than 40 years of experience in real estate development and related fields, having started his career as a construction worker on industrial buildings, and then as a project manager for a build-to-suit office building for a Fortune 500 company.
As Avidan Management’s Managing Member, Mr. Avidan was involved in all aspects of real estate development including construction, acquisition, financing, leasing and day-to-day operations for their former 3-million-square-foot portfolio of warehouse distribution centers, industrial parks, office buildings and flex/high-tech buildings that were owned and managed by various entities controlled by the Avidan family. After construction, he continued his work through the leasing, maintenance and management of all properties.

Always committed to providing continuous improvements for their tenants, Avidan embarked on a second solar installation the following year.
