Building a Legacy

From Family Foundations to Corporate Excellence

For over four decades, Beaumont Property Group has stood as a pillar in Sydney’s property landscape, growing from a modest family operation into a dynamic, multi-brand organization with a footprint spanning the Greater Sydney metropolitan area. Under the leadership of CEO, Grant Beaumont, the company continues to evolve—balancing the values of a family-owned enterprise with the structure and discipline of a modern corporation.

A Legacy Built on Family Values

The Beaumont story began in 1980, when the founder and his wife started managing strata properties from their home. “They started as strata managers, and it was something my parents just did at night,” recalls Beaumont. By 1986, they launched their first business, Nois Industrial, specializing in industrial real estate. Over time, that operation evolved into what is now Nois Commercial, and the company began a steady path of expansion through both organic growth and acquisition.

Today, the Beaumont Property Group umbrella encompasses four major brands—Beaumont Strata, Nois Commercial, Cootes, and Waratah Strata—operating across 11 offices and employing more than 160 professionals. Each brand represents a unique dimension of the company’s expertise, from specialist strata management to full-service commercial real estate.

This expansion has been deliberate and measured. “We started in the northwest of Sydney and were centralized in that area for quite some time,” Beaumont explains. “Around 2005, we began expanding into the western suburbs, and more recently, further east into Chatswood, North Sydney, and now Hornsby.”

What began as a two-person family venture has grown into one of the most active acquisitive businesses in Sydney’s commercial property space. Yet, despite its size and sophistication, Beaumont retains its founding principles—values that continue to define its culture and relationships today.

From Family Business to Family-Owned Corporation

As the company matured, so too did its governance. “We’ve transitioned ourselves from what we kind of say is a family business to more of a family-owned corporation,” says Beaumont.

“That reflects the fact that we’ve put in governance structures, a board of directors, an independent chairman, and even employee shareholders. We’re trying to act with the feel of a family business, but with the corporate style of operating as well.”

This hybrid structure—personal yet professional—has proven key to Beaumont’s ability to scale while maintaining its culture. “It gives people good career development opportunities of their own,” he adds. “It also ensures that decision-making and accountability are shared across the organization.”

Culture Rooted in Integrity and Care

With more than 160 team members spread across 11 offices, maintaining a consistent culture is both a challenge and a priority. To achieve that, Beaumont engaged in a company-wide values exercise. “We did a fair bit of work, both from a top-down and bottom-up approach, to really dive into what was important to us as a business,” Beaumont explains.

The outcome reaffirmed that Beaumont’s strength lies in its deep sense of integrity. “A big part of what we’re about is doing the right thing. People really galvanize around that philosophy of being easy to deal with, being effective, being competitive—but always putting the client, our staff, and the communities we work in at the center.”

These values are embedded at every stage of the employee journey—from recruitment and onboarding to performance reviews and leadership decision-making. “Our culture informs the decisions of our senior staff all the way up to the board,” he says.

Market Insights: A Changing Commercial Landscape

As a seasoned observer of the property sector, Beaumont notes that the Australian commercial real estate market remains complex and segmented. “Different markets behave in different ways, so a blanket explanation doesn’t apply,” he says.

“For example, industrial real estate remains very strong, whereas some of our office markets are weaker—largely a runoff from COVID,” Beaumont adds.

He points to the long tail of commercial leasing cycles as a key factor. “Leases often run three to five years. So even if tenants signed new leases in 2020, those are just coming up for renewal now. That’s when we’re seeing companies reevaluating their space needs,” Beaumont relays.

Meanwhile, government and market pressures are prompting some owners to convert commercial assets into residential use. “There’s a definite movement toward conversion and rezoning as councils try to address the housing crisis,” he adds. “It’s a reflection of shifting demand, and the reality that there just isn’t the same appetite for new office construction right now,” Beaumont notes.

At the same time, transportation infrastructure such as the Northwest Rail Link is reshaping regional dynamics. “It’s had the interesting effect of not necessarily drawing people west, but sending many back toward the city. Combined with the incentives being offered by institutional owners in CBD areas, that’s pulling some businesses back into central Sydney,” he expands.

Technology, Efficiency, and the Human Element

Technology—and more recently, AI—is transforming how Beaumont operates. “AI and automation are changing the way we do business, and I see that as a real opportunity,” says Beaumont. “It’s about providing efficiency for staff, but also enhancing the customer experience.”

Beaumont has been early to embrace data-driven tools, particularly through its adoption of Salesforce as a CRM. “We’ve used Salesforce in quite a creative way, matching prospective buyers and tenants to properties. We’re using big data to assess who might be the best fit for particular buildings—it’s been quite effective.”

Beyond CRM, Beaumont has also developed proprietary technology to manage compliance and operational workflows. “In strata management and real estate generally, the compliance burden is high. We’ve developed a dashboard that proactively prompts our agents when action is required—whether that’s an insurance renewal, a fire certificate, or a contract signature. It lets us automate the routine while keeping oversight of every moving part,” Beaumont explains.

While automation improves efficiency, Beaumont remains clear about the irreplaceable role of people. “We see ourselves as holding a trusted position with our clients, and that’s not something technology can replace,” he says. “Staff well-being, mental health, and balance are critical. In a service business like ours, it’s easy to focus on output—but we also have to protect the people who deliver it.”

Community Engagement and Industry Leadership

Giving back is woven into Beaumont’s DNA. The CEO himself serves on the Board of the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales (REINSW), where he advocates for higher standards in strata management and industry ethics. “There’s been negative press around strata in recent years, and I see it as an opportunity for the Institute to take a leading role in advocacy for better corporate behavior,” Beaumont adds.

Beaumont also maintains a strong local presence through the Norwest Association, a business park body that oversees design standards and maintenance for the Norwest suburb—Beaumont’s original base of operations. “My father was on the board for 19 years before I joined. It’s an opportunity for us to contribute to the growth of this area and its role in the Sydney business market.”

On a philanthropic level, Beaumont encourages employees to give back to causes they care about—matching staff donations to charitable organizations, including the Salvation Army and the Western Sydney Charitable Foundation. “We encourage our people to adopt certain causes, and the business matches their contributions,” he says.

Looking Ahead: Growth, Innovation, and Purpose

Looking to the future, Beaumont’s ambitions are as bold as its legacy is deep. “We aspire to be regarded as a leading strata management and commercial real estate business,” the CEO affirms. “Our goal is to double in size over the next five years, both in revenue and in geographic reach,” Beaumont predicts.

That growth will come through a combination of continued acquisition, strategic partnerships, and organic expansion. “We’re open for business,” he says. “We’re looking to partner with other businesses, joint ventures, and people who share our values. Rather than centralize everything, we believe in a hyper-local approach—being close to the communities we serve.”

For Beaumont Property Group, the balance of tradition and innovation remains its defining strength. With a steady hand on governance, an eye on technology, and a heart rooted in family values, the company is poised to shape the future of Sydney’s commercial and strata landscape—one property, one partnership, and one community at a time.
