Avigilon Aims for Big Profit on Building Sale

Author: John Honovich, Published on Nov 29, 2016

Just 18 months after agreeing to buy a Vancouver HQ building, Avigilon is now planning to sell it off.

And they are looking to make a killing. Indeed, if their projections are true, they will make far more profits from selling the building than from their video surveillance business this year.

In this note, we look at the move, including feedback from Avigilon and how this move may strengthen Avigilon beyond the potential profits.
