Max Amini is the Founder of Aria Assets, an integrated commercial real estate and construction advisory platform serving British Columbia and the Lower Mainland. The company supports investors, landlords, developers, buyers, sellers, and commercial occupiers through investment strategy, leasing, asset management, property repositioning, tenant improvements, and commercial project delivery.

With more than 15 years of experience across construction management, development, real estate investment, commercial advisory, and property operations, Max brings a disciplined, financially informed, and results-driven approach to every assignment. His work is centred on helping clients make informed decisions based on financial performance, market positioning, construction feasibility, operational requirements, risk tolerance, and long-term objectives.

Max began his construction and design career in Toronto, where he founded his first interior design company in 2013. By 2019, he had grown M² Design & Build into a multidisciplinary team of more than 30 professionals and completed over 500 projects. The work ranged from the design and renovation of luxury residences to commercial tenant improvements and complete interior build-outs.

After selling M² Design & Build, Max expanded into land and multifamily investment, development, and larger design-build projects, including a 22-townhome development in Newmarket, Ontario. His subsequent experience has included multifamily development, retail construction, commercial tenant improvements, property repositioning, permitting, consultant coordination, trade procurement, construction budgeting, and project delivery across Ontario and British Columbia.

This construction and development background gives Max a practical understanding of how commercial properties are identified, evaluated, financed, designed, permitted, built, leased, operated, improved, and ultimately valued. He can assess a property beyond its asking price or rental rate by considering zoning, existing building systems, construction costs, permitting requirements, project schedules, operational needs, and long-term asset performance.

His experience spans retail, office, industrial, income-producing properties, educational facilities, and commercial assets requiring repositioning, leasing strategy, operational review, or financial improvement. He has worked with and supported respected organizations, brands, and projects involving Costco, Victoria’s Secret, BMW, Alexander College, and Brighton College.

Max is a CCIM Candidate pursuing the prestigious CCIM designation, strengthening his expertise in commercial investment analysis, market analysis, financial modelling, and strategic advisory. He is also pursuing the RPA® designation through BOMA/BOMI, supporting his knowledge of commercial building operations, budgeting, asset performance, and property management. Max holds real estate trading and property management licensing in British Columbia, as well as real estate licensing in Washington State.

Known for his negotiation skills, market awareness, construction knowledge, and ability to navigate challenging projects and transactions, Max develops practical solutions that protect client interests and improve long-term asset value. His highly customized approach recognizes that every client, property, transaction, and construction project requires its own strategy.

Through Aria Assets, Max provides one coordinated point of expertise—from identifying and negotiating the right commercial property to evaluating construction feasibility, managing tenant improvements, and delivering the completed space.
