About Westward
Westward Capital Group ("Westward") is a private equity real estate investment firm based in Austin, Texas that specializes in equity investments in high-growth secondary markets throughout the U.S.
Westward is dedicated to generating asymmetric returns through our relentless focus on value investing, strong operational expertise, and local market knowledge. Our target investment properties typically share similar characteristics including (i) stable in-place cash flow, (ii) value-add opportunities and (iii) long-term upside potential. Westward typically seeks investments that possess a margin of economic safety due to an attractive cost basis or lower leverage point, as we are always cognizant of the cyclicality of the real estate market.
The Managing Principals at Westward have a long-standing relationship developed at Tishman Speyer, a premier global real estate private equity firm. With strong balance sheet capital and a lean organizational structure, Westward is nimble and can take decisive action when attractive opportunities arise.
our philosophy
principal protection first
Our investment philosophy is simple - principal protection first, profits second. We invest based on property fundamentals, not the latest market trends.
Local Expertise
Westward has extensive local knowledge as a result of our deep roots and partnerships in our target markets. As local investors, we are able to quickly identify and exploit inefficiencies when they arise.
interest alignment
Westward principals invest alongside each investor. Profit sharing occurs only after all investors have received a preferred return on their investment. In short, Westward principals have substantial"skin in the game."
investment profile
Our target properties typically generate stable in-place cash flow, offer value add opportunities, and possess long-term upside potential. With an investment size of $10M - $100M our deals often fall below the institutional radar.
Full Transparency
Westward prides itself on best-in-class investor communication. We offer consistent investment reporting, online distributions and K1 information, and 24 hour response times for all inquiries.
Community investment
From energy efficiency initiatives to on-site after school tutoring Westward is constantly seeking new ways to simultaneously improve the community, environment, and investor returns.
