About Us

Where it began

Swisscan Properties Inc., previously known as Normbrau Inc., was established in Germany by Entrepreneur and Businessman Hermann Leckebusch more than 50 years ago. With his strong business acumen, he opportunistically built a highly profitable and reputable real estate development and construction firm, which now has offices across Germany, Switzerland, and Canada. In 1987, his son Timur Leckebusch led the group in Canada and opened the first Toronto office. Shortly after, Swisscan Properties was founded to oversee the North American operations of Normbrau Inc.

Under Timur’s leadership, Swisscan Properties successfully navigated the challenging real estate industry of the 1990s and emerged as a prominent player in development. Well-known corporations such as Goodlife Fitness, HSBC, SportChek, Subway, Blockbuster, ABB, ADP, and many others have entrusted Swisscan Properties as their landlord, while satisfied clients recognize them as their reliable developer and design builder.

The Leckebusch Family’s success is deeply rooted in their commitment to delivering timely results, lasting value, and exceptional quality to every client and partner they work with. Swisscan Properties upholds core business values of professionalism, integrity, client satisfaction, and adaptability. These values serve as the foundation for consistently delivering top-quality products regardless of the circumstances.

With a wealth of knowledge and experience passed down through generations, Swisscan Properties remains dedicated to pursuing perfection in all aspects of its operations. Their unwavering commitment is driven by the desire to foster enduring relationships that pave the way for a prosperous future.

About Timur.

Timur Leckebusch, the founder and president of SwisScan Properties inc. is an entrepreneur from Germany. Growing up he was taught the ins and outs of the construction and development business from his father, Herman Leckebusch, who was a founding entrepreneur in the construction and development business. After taking a trip to Toronto, Canada in the early 80’s, he decided to extend his business into Canada. This was in the first few years following the second world war in 1986.

Timur grew increasingly interested in his father’s business. While studying to be a lawyer at the University of Münich, his studies were abruptly halted after his father told him he was needed in Canada to run the office in Toronto. He followed his father’s call to take over the management of the Canadian operations.

Upon arrival to Canada, Timur and his father founded Swisscan Properties Inc. as a property management company to manage Normbau’s Canadian asset portfolio. It was then in the early 90’s when Herman decided to retreat his Canadian investments due to economic pressures at the time. With his family calling him home. He saw opportunity in the Canadian real estate market and decided to set out for himself and had success exploring new business opportunities and deals on his own.

Now, nearly 35 years later. Timur has built strong relationships with clients which have proven to be long lasting partnerships.
