Disciplined real estate.
Built to compound.
Westhill & Hines is a Denver-based real estate investment firm acquiring and developing multifamily, industrial, and development assets along the Colorado Front Range — underwritten with discipline, owned for the long run.
Three asset classes. One discipline.
We pursue assets where the math is honest before the story is interesting. We evaluate opportunities across all three lanes and act on whichever delivers the right spread first — every acquisition meets the same underwriting test.
Multifamily
Front Range apartment acquisitions during a structural dislocation — a $539B debt maturity wall meeting the steepest construction collapse in a decade.
Built on institutional multifamily acquisition experience. Read the thesis →Industrial
Net-leased industrial across the Front Range. Location-driven. Long-duration cash flow, low operational drag, complements the rest of the portfolio.
Same underwriting discipline applied to NNN industrial. Read the thesis →Development
Ground-up infill development where Front Range entitlements are scarce. Anchor project: The Cottages at Main Street, Erie — planned 2027–2028 deliveries.
Anchored by hands-on ground-up development experience. Read the thesis →Three ideas that guide every deal.
The macro narrative shifts every quarter. The way we evaluate deals doesn't. These are the three principles behind how we underwrite, what we acquire, and how long we hold.
Margin of Safety
The spread between an asset's stabilized yield and the prevailing market cap rate is the only honest source of returns. We pursue deals where that spread is real — and pass on the ones that aren't.
Built to Hold
Great real estate compounds when you own it for a long time. Our default is to acquire, stabilize, and hold for the long term — refinancing to extract equity rather than churning assets for short-term gains.
Local Means Knowable
We focus on the Colorado Front Range because we can drive to every asset, know every submarket, and have built broker relationships over years. Local knowledge is the edge that out-of-town capital can't replicate.
Colorado Front Range. Driveable. Knowable.
We don't chase deals across the country. We go deep in markets we can drive to — from Pueblo to Fort Collins, with Denver as home base. Local broker relationships built over years, not posts. Every asset is reachable from our office.
Geographic expansion to landlord-friendly Western markets (Boise, Salt Lake, Tucson) is on the roadmap — but only after we've earned the right by executing here first.
Wes is a licensed Colorado real estate broker who has spent his career on the institutional side of commercial real estate, with hands-on involvement in multifamily acquisitions, ground-up development, and net-leased industrial across the Front Range and beyond. His work has spanned underwriting, asset management, and deal sourcing alongside teams executing on hundreds of millions in transaction volume.
Westhill & Hines is the next step: applying that experience to a focused, principal-led platform. Based in Erie, Colorado, Wes operates the firm with a single bias — long-term ownership of cash-flowing real estate, acquired at honest basis, in markets he knows at street level.
Recent activity. Westhill & Hines participated as a limited partner in a Colorado Springs single-tenant NNN commercial property currently under contract to exit at a projected 23% IRR over an 18-month hold. See details →
The name. Westhill & Hines is named for the middle names of Wes's three children — West, Hill, and Hines.
