Acquisition & Development

Over the last 30 years, the Principals of Westport Group have acquired or developed more than 100 properties totaling over 10 million square feet representing over $3 billion in total value across the United States. We have developed an extensive network of relationships and in-depth market knowledge to enable us to identify opportunities before they reach the market. As a result, we have the ability and track-record to spot off-market opportunities and create value for our investors and clients.

Market Knowledge and Operational Experience
Westport Group’s active presence in many markets, its extensive network of leasing and property management professionals, and its ability to identify opportunities for operational improvements and asset repositioning, is one of Westport Group’s key competitive advantages in uncovering a property’s unrealized value.

Due Diligence
Westport Group takes a proactive view to each element of the due diligence process, outlined below, to validate assumptions and confirm that the property is being bought at an attractive price. We take the due diligence process very seriously since Westport Group and its Principals co-invest its own capital along side the investors, creating an alignment of interests and an incentive to perform.

· In-house market study to quantify demand and evaluate competitive supply

· Preparation of the proposed financial business plan of the property

· Confirmation of leasing assumptions and identification of prospective new tenants

· Detailed review of site and zoning constraints, existing building expenses and analysis of potential  savings

· Capital Structure Optimization

· Coordination of architects, engineers, environmental consultants, legal counsel and other professionals.
