Westlake Urban focuses on revitalizing carefully selected properties to ensure the assets in our portfolio remain integral parts of the urban, transit-rich communities where they reside.
WE FOCUS ON THE LONG TERM
One of our greatest strengths is that we own the properties in our development pipeline, and we can optimize the timing to take advantage of the unique characteristics of those assets, as well as timing during various cycles. Westlake has been in business in the San Francisco Bay Area for 50+ years, and we have had a consistent commitment to investing for the long term. This approach influences our investment and development strategy and guides decision-making throughout the organization.
WE BUILD FOR THE COMMUNITY
Westlake Urban seeks to provide great places to live, work, and shop for the tenants and communities we serve. Our designs take into account the unique physical and cultural characteristics and offer creative solutions that enhance those qualities. We build trust by respectfully engaging the community. We listen to what they have to say and do our best to incorporate their input into our work. And by doing a good job, we establish goodwill, which helps us accomplish our objectives.
WE DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY
A commitment to sustainability is an economic imperative in the 21st century. Westlake Urban is investing in its properties in a way that not only minimizes adverse environmental impacts but strives to maximize cost savings for our tenants. Our architectural design utilizes high-performance building systems that use less water and energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower operating costs, and maximize occupant satisfaction.
At Westlake Urban, we are committed to reinvigorating our existing real estate assets as well as developing our land parcels with a clear focus on the future. Our projects are planned to attract today’s and future generations of users to these connected, sustainable properties. Strategically located in urban, transit-rich locations, our portfolio includes a development pipeline of mixed-use commercial and residential sites totaling over $1 billion in value.
