Open Avenue aims to bring real estate investing to the masses where investors can invest in stable and secure real estate projects across Canada while partnering with an experienced developer to identify and manage the opportunities. Open Avenue brings real estate investment into the digital world by providing real-time reports, transparency and insight into property income and expenses, valuations and operations.
