Westmount focuses on opportunistic, value-add, and core plus, specializing in three main
product types: industrial, multifamily, and office.
Opportunistic
This high-risk, high-return strategy focuses on properties that require a significant
number of enhancements and may also involve investments in development, raw
land, and niche property sectors. Opportunistic investments are tactical and can
include financial arbitrage strategies or strategies focused on unwinding or working
out complex financial structures or large, improperly leveraged portfolios.
Value-Add
Properties are considered value-add when they exhibit management or operational
problems, require physical improvement, and/or suffer from capital constraints.
Westmount’s value-add strategy aims to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns
through property renovations, lease-up, management, and redevelopment. We also
place a heavy emphasis on pricing discipline and seek value by "buying right" and
investing below replacement costs.
Core Plus
Westmount’s core plus investment strategy focuses on stabilizing buildings that are
currently generating stable income and have the potential for capital appreciation
through rental growth, lease-up, and addressing deferred maintenance. This
minimum-to-moderate risk strategy targets high-quality assets meeting the
functional needs of today’s tenants.
INVESTMENT PROFILES

METHODOLOGY
Focused Investment Criteria

value found in the acquisition process and adding value
and managing risk during the life cycle of an investment.
Boots on The Ground
Our local experienced acquisitions personnel leverage
their longstanding relationships with property owners and
brokers to source and close opportunities. This also
opens the door to many off-market deals.
17. Vertically Integrated
In-house asset management, property management
construction & engineering teams enable us to
move quickly on investment opportunities while
remaining flexible to market conditions.
Leverage Technology
We invest in current technology to support critical
acquisitions, accounting, risk management, capital
raising, due diligence, and investor relations functions.
Relationship Focused
We make a concerted effort to build long-
lasting, win/win relationships with anyone we
work with including our tenants, brokers, vendors,
lenders, and investors. This time-tested approach
has yielded numerous longstanding and fruitful
relationships within the industry.
