Proven leadership

Prestigious Properties is led by an effective group with years of experience acquiring and managing multi-family apartment buildings. They are supported by capable staff who understand the need for careful planning followed by effective execution.

Thomas Beyer: President
Thomas founded Prestigious Properties in 2000 and it has since grown into a group of companies or limited partnerships with a carefully selected small group of associates or co-owners. He believes in turning under-valued properties into “prestigious properties,” for the benefit of investors, tenants and communities. He has an MBA from the University of Alberta (1988) and a B.Sc. from the Technical University of Munich (1986). He has been the president of two rental pool boards and has been on several condominium boards since 1997. Prior to 2000 Thomas was a software project manager, including 8 years with IBM. He has lived in the lower mainland in BC, in Toronto, Germany, and South Africa. After moving to Canmore, Alberta in 1995, he later founded Prestigious Properties and put down strong roots in the community, until finally moving to Vancouver in 2010. He is happily married with two young adult children. He invests his own money and that of other people to create wealth for himself, his co-investors and for the communities at large through improved property values, better buildings, creative marketing techniques, better HR policies and more ethical tenant and sub-contractor policies.
