Home is where life is shared.

Four generations of building and keeping communities in Vancouver and across the Pacific Northwest. We're a family-owned real estate company, and we own what we build, and stay to see it through.

OUR STORY

Three pillars. One umbrella:
Community.

W H O W E A R E

Residential, commercial, and real estate development: three pillars, one operator, everything in service of the same thing: community. We don't flip. We build to hold.

0 1 • R E S I D E N T I A L

Homes. Held for generations.

750+ rental homes across BC and Washington. On-site management. Pet-friendly, always.

OUR APPROACH

0 2 • C O M M E R C I A L

Offices & retail that host businesses well.

From the heritage Georgia Medical-Dental to Canada's first WELL-certified coworking.

0 3 • D E V E L O P M E N T

Built to become part of a place.

Ground-up and heritage revitalization projects designed to outlast the next market cycle, and the one after.

Five things we will never cut corners on.

O U R P R O M I S E

Our non-negotiables: what every resident, at every property, can always expect.

On-Site, Not Off-Site

A person you know, at the building you live in.

Every Arpeg community has a dedicated Community Manager, a real person, on site, who learns your name and your dog's name. Not a call centre. Not a ticket number.

Soraya at The Beverley, Chris at The Mariner, Ken at The Ritz
On-site coverage at every property we own
Your first point of contact, always

Four Legs, Welcome

Home isn't complete without them.

Pets aren't a policy we tolerate. They're part of the family we welcome. Every Arpeg property is pet-friendly, every day, no exceptions.

No weight limits. No breed restrictions
Pet Day celebrations across every community
Because home isn't complete without them

Belonging, Monthly

A reason to step out of your unit.

Valentine's crafting at The Beverley. Egg hunts in spring. Rooftop barbecues in July. Small moments, scheduled, hosted, and genuinely attended, are how a building becomes a community.

At least one event every month, at every community
Hosted by your on-site Community Manager
Free. Opt-in. Neighbour-to-neighbour

Quietly Considered

To be and to feel safe, always.

Security isn't theatrical. It's a well-lit entry at 2am, a fob that works the first time, and a team who answers when something isn't right. We design for both.

Secure access control at every property
Responsive on-site staffing
Lighting, landscaping, and lines-of-sight designed with care

Small Thing, Big Deal

Leaky tap on Sunday? Tap the app.

Maintenance requests go through the residents app, quick to submit, easy to track, and respectful of your time. No phone tag. No forgotten messages.

Submit in under a minute
Track status end-to-end
Handled by our own care techs

Each place has its own ***weather, its own neighbours***.

T H E B E V E R L E Y

Where old brick meets new on Agnes Street.

A 19-storey rental community built around a preserved 1927 heritage facade, located in New Westminster, BC. 150 homes, an on-site Community Manager, and amenities worth using.

A N D - C O O F F I C E S

Canada's first WELL-certified coworking.

Shared office in Coal Harbour built around air quality, daylight, and the quiet belief that people work better near each other.

T H E M A R I N E R

On Comox Avenue in Comox, BC, where affordable rents meet harbour views and neighbours become long-term residents.

Coffee, balcony, harbour. Repeat.

T H E R I T Z

Heritage & Convenience on Fort Street.

Heritage building, heart of the city. Single rooms and affordable rents on Fort Street, Victoria.

Residential, commercial, and agricultural assets across BC and Washington. A few worth meeting.

A R P E G F A R M S

The historic Burns Farmstead in Ladner. Charolais cattle, preserved barns, and a partnership with the communities that surround it.

Since 1969. Still working the land.

Belonging is built in small moments.

L I F E I N O U R C O M M U N I T I E S

Events, gatherings, small gestures. Because neighbours don't happen by accident.

OUR APPROACH

Living With Us Is Different.

W H A T P E O P L E S A Y

Reviews from real residents on pet policies, on management, on the little things that turn an apartment into a home.

“I really enjoyed my stay at The Beverley. It’s genuinely pet-friendly, and the amenities added great comfort to daily life. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a well-managed place to call home.”

“Everything has been top-notch. The community is friendly, the grounds are well maintained, and the hallways are consistently clean and fresh.”

A family business.
Still.

W H O W E A R E

Four generations, one operator. No institutional investors, no exit timeline, no pressure to flip. We decide together, which means slower, and usually better.

G 1 • A R N E & P E G G Y

Arne and Peggy Mathisen founded the company in Vancouver in 1956, building from a single property into what Arpeg is today.

The Founders.

G 2 • S T E W A R D S

Two generations held, maintained, and added slowly. No press, no conferences. Just buildings that kept working.

The Quiet Decades.

G 3 & G 4 • T O D A Y

Running the company day-to-day — and bringing the fourth generation into the room, on purpose, early.

Operators & the next hands.

G I V I N G B A C K

In 2014, a habit of quiet giving became a registered charity — family-led, voted on by every generation, supporting six pillars across the Salish Sea region.
