THIND PROPERTIES LTD .

S

ince 1997 , Thind Properties Ltd . has established a hallmark for building quality and creating value for homebuyers in the Greater Vancouver area .
Launched by Indo-Canadian entrepreneur Daljit Thind , Thind Properties has since put its distinctive stamp on a wide range of single-family , townhouse and condominium projects in the Lower Mainland and continues to build its brand by blending quality developments with affordable prices and environmentally friendly practices .
Skyway Tower is a 12-storey high-rise and four-storey mid-rise project that combines quality , form , function and affordability in spacious one to three-bedroom penthouse units that boast high-end laminate flooring , durable ceramic tiles , textured carpeting , designer lighting and fixtures and stainless-steel appliances . The project , slated for completion in September of 2014 , is already 70 per cent sold out .
But Skyway Tower is not the only marquee development in Thind Properties ’ portfolio at present .

PROFILES of EXCELLENCE

A true study in self-made success , Daljit Thind first emigrated from India in 1993 and quickly found his niche in Canada , completing his first single-family home in Vancouver four years later .
“ Families turn to us to experience the dream of home ownership ,” says Thind , CEO and founder of Thind Properties Ltd ., “ and we pride ourselves on providing architectural innovation , tremendous quality and superior customer service .”
While his company has grown by leaps and bounds , Thind remains as hands-on as the day he oversaw his first project , shepherding each aspect of his signature developments from the foundations to the rooftops .
He credits honesty and an unshakable work ethic as the keys to his success .
“ We operate with the understanding that each and every home we build will eventually become our customer ’ s castle ,” says Thind . “ We began this company with a vision of building quality homes and creating value for our customers . It ’ s a motto that we stand to this day .”
Billed as a “ Landmark Thind Signature Gold Development ”, Skyway Tower on Kingsway in Vancouver is Daljit Thind ’ s current premier project .
A landmark development located in the heart of Vancouver ’ s new Norquay Community ,
Thind is also promoting View 388 — a 53-unit , luxury condo project currently under construction on Kootenay St . in East Vancouver — as well as the Metro One and Two condominium buildings on Grimmer St . in Burnaby and the 46 two- and three-bedroom townhouses available in the Casa D ’ oro project on Gilley Ave ., conveniently located near Metrotown Centre in Central Burnaby .
In previous years , Thind built his brand — and reputation — by developing such projects as The Scena at 2239 Kingsway and The View at 2150 Hastings Street , and has a half-dozen projects currently slated to break ground in 2014 .
“ My dream is to continue to take my company to the next level ,” says Thind , who is excited by the opportunities available for homebuyers in the Vancouver and Burnaby real-estate market . “ It ’ s an exciting time to be a real-estate developer in Vancouver . It ’ s the best place to be working right now .”
Thind also places a premium on being a good community citizen both here in his adopted homeland as well as in his native India .
In addition to sponsoring local children ’ s clubs and homeless-outreach programs in Vancouver ’ s downtown East Side , Daljit is the vice-chair of an all-girls school he helped to build in Punjab State in Northern India and is actively working to help export the B . C . school curriculum to the institution .
“ Families turn to us to experience the dream of home ownership , and we pride ourselves on providing architectural innovation , tremendous quality and superior customer service .” — Daljit Thind , founder and CEO of Thind Properties Ltd .
