Compensation History

See how much did Bryce Blair make over time.

In 2011, Bryce Blair's total compensation as CEO of AvalonBay Communities was impressive, reaching $5.15 million. This included a base salary of $823,368 and a significant cash bonus of about $1.32 million, reflecting his performance-based incentives. His bonus was tied to specific goals that AvalonBay needed to achieve, which underscores a focus on aligning his interests with those of the shareholders. Furthermore, for his contributions, he received rewards in the form of long-term incentives. However, notable in his package was the absence of stock option grants in that year, as he had transitioned into retirement, providing solely restricted stock awards. This approach showed that the board aimed to shift away from stock options for Blair, reinforcing a focus on long-term stability over speculative equity risks as he prepared for his exit from the CEO role.
