End-to-end real estate development under single principal oversight.
Land · Capital · Build · Operate
Commercial real estate development starts with site control. In competitive markets, opportunities often don't reach public listings. Access is gained through relationships with brokers, landowners, and municipalities, built over three decades.
We source development sites through owner-direct relationships and off-market broker channels, before competitive bidding inflates pricing by 15–30%. Our network spans nationwide growth markets.
US entitlements involve zoning approvals, environmental review, and multiple city departments. In major markets, this process takes 12–36 months. We manage the full process from pre-application strategy to final permit issuance with experienced land use counsel.
Every site decision is backed by absorption analysis, competitive supply tracking, and 5-year rent growth modeling. We also coordinate Phase I/II environmental studies, ALTA surveys, title review, and geotechnical assessments to eliminate post-acquisition surprises.
Beyond land sourcing and entitlements, West Wing creates development opportunities around the specific needs of your business.
We develop and build facilities specifically designed around your business.
Tell us what facility your business needs. We identify the site, structure the development, and deliver the facility.

US-Japan joint ventures in real estate require navigating two distinct legal systems, regulatory regimes, tax frameworks, and business cultures simultaneously. A structure that appears straightforward in concept can create significant complications at execution if not designed by practitioners with direct experience in both markets.
We design LP or LLC joint ventures for Japanese capital, balancing recovery, schedules, fees, and exits. All agreements are bilingual, aligning with Japanese fiscal years.
Japanese investors in US real estate face FIRPTA withholding, FBAR filing, and ECI exposure. We coordinate with tax counsel before committing capital to avoid tax leakage.
Quarterly reports in English and Japanese cover construction progress, financials, variance vs. proforma, and market commentary. Format aligns with Japanese LP decision-making timelines.
From pre-construction planning and value engineering through certificate of occupancy, West Wing provides full-cycle construction oversight. General contractors are independent companies with their own financial interests and subcontractor networks. Effective management requires proactive oversight, clear contracts, and deep local knowledge of each market's labor pool, permitting environment, and construction norms.
Bidding among 3–5 pre-qualified GCs. All must have $2M+ GL insurance, umbrella coverage, and performance bonds to protect against insolvency.
We review materials and methods to achieve design intent at lower cost. Value engineering yields 5–15% savings without compromising quality.
Timelines: Texas 30–90 days, Florida 60–120 days, California 6–18 months. We front-load permitting to avoid delays.
Weekly visits, bi-weekly meetings, and monthly reviews. An independent rep tracks separately from the GC.
TI coordination is execution-sensitive. We manage design, permitting, and construction to ensure timely delivery within the TI allowance.
Pre-approval needed for changes over $5,000. Contingency log and 3% cap on discretionary changes. Projects averaged within 4% of contract price.
Monthly draws funded through title accounts. An inspector verifies work before each draw, protecting lender collateral and equity.
CPM scheduling with liquidated damages in GC contracts. Critical path tracking ensures subcontractor accountability before costly delays.
Post-construction asset management determines whether a development achieves its return objectives. From lease-up and daily property operations through lease administration, vacancy management, and eventual disposition, West Wing provides institutional-grade oversight across the full operating lifecycle.
We identify tenants during design, not at CO. Pre-leasing 30-50% before completion reduces risk and speeds up LP distributions.
Third-party managers undergo monthly P&L reviews, expense benchmarking, and semi-annual inspections. Vendor contracts are rebid annually.
LP partners get monthly statements, quarterly reports, and annual audited financials. We handle full disposition when thresholds are met: pricing, buyer ID, and proceeds distribution.
We handle lease negotiations on rent, concessions, TI allowances, and renewal options. All terms are reviewed by real estate counsel.
Leasing strategies and broker outreach to minimize vacancy and optimize tenant quality. Includes property positioning and marketing materials.
Insurance compliance reviews, vendor negotiations, legal coordination, and regulatory management, reducing exposure and ensuring property governance.
