Specialists in multi-tenant industrial, retail and office properties

Westcore Europe is a real estate investor-manager with a specialization in multi-tenant industrial, retail, and office properties. The Westcore family of companies have over €1.5 billion in assets under management, €300 million of which is under Westcore Europe’s management. The strength of our team is reflected in our consistent record of delivering high risk-adjusted investment returns to investors through effective asset management and operating strategies.

Our clients include opportunity funds, real estate investment trusts, family offices, and high net worth individuals. Operating from four “local” European offices and with access to a wide base of capital, we are able to quickly analyze and act upon new opportunities, implementing creative solutions to complex real estate transactions.

Westcore sources the majority of its transactions off-market, direct from owners, institutions, and other principals acquiring real estate outright or recapitalizing existing ventures. Westcore approaches real estate from the bottom up, with a primary focus on asset management. Coupled with an active risk management, financial monitoring, and reporting structure, Westcore provides investors with transparent and timely information flows.

Westcore Europe is part of the Westcore Properties Group. Westcore Properties focuses on Western United States commercial and industrial properties. Since its founding in 2000, Westcore Properties and its affiliates have acquired and managed more than $4 billion in industrial and office assets, comprised of more than 750 buildings and totalling over 45 million square feet. In addition to its US headquarters in San Diego, Westcore Properties has regional offices in Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, and Denver.
