Our principles and values

Westmount Real Estate’s management team organises itself around the following principles:

Our alignment of interest

Entrepreneurial focus and experience

Disciplined

Integrity

Westmount Real Estate is 100% owned by its directors. All of the directors have personal wealth invested in the business and have the ability to co-invest alongside our partners.

We are a small, highly skilled, adaptable and entrepreneurial operating team with strong team ethics by placing emphasis on people and ideas ahead of over-powering process and procedures.

Although we are flexible and entrepreneurial we recognise the importance of discipline. Rigorous analysis and strong financial discipline are key to understanding risk and return - the ability to understand and quantify macro and asset specific risk is one of our core strengths.

The culture of partnership and fairness is fundamental to Westmount’s existence as is working with progressive and innovative partners to deliver inspirational work and retail environments which have the highest deliverable level of sustainable accreditations.

“Westmount offer an experienced team of property professionals with a strong track record. Our most recent transaction with Westmount involved the purchase of a retail park with some future asset management opportunities. Although the property was on the market, the relationship that Westmount had with the seller, gave us a strong advantage and enabled us to secure the acquisition over another highly-regarded investor.”
