Westone Capital initiates large scale real estate development projects and acquisitions with a select group of long-time investor partners.
Gordon Horsman, founder and CEO of Westone, uses his decades of experience to envision the project or acquisition opportunity and can complete the preliminary design, pro formas and craft entitlement strategies to allow the project to proceed. Westone engages architects and other professionals as necessary. Westone also creates the initial written materials and agreements to engage other stakeholders.
