About Us
Committed to building a brighter future for B.C.
40+ Years of Experience
A Vancouver-based, family-owned real estate company focused on acquiring and managing commercial and residential investment properties.
Prospero's focus is the purchase, sale, and ongoing management of revenue properties in Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Sea-to-Sky corridor, the Okanagan, and Vancouver Island. Prospero was founded by Dr. Robert (Bob) H. Lee, in 1979. Bob's son, Derek, joined the family business in 1982 and now oversees all aspects of the acquisition, development, and leasing of Prospero properties as President.
The company’s greatest asset is the expertise and dedication of its long-term property management and accounting personnel, many of which have been with the company for more than two decades. This includes VP of Residential Properties, Jeff Nightingale, and VP of Commercial Properties, Rick Halliday.
Commitment to Community
Prospero is dedicated to community involvement and maintains a longstanding commitment to many organizations.
"I have always been guided by the deep belief that we all have a responsibility towards one another and that true success is measured by your stake in the community – your dedication and your generosity – not only with your money, but also with your time, energy, and ideas."
— Dr. Robert H. Lee
