Company Profile
Westar is a California-based real estate development and investment firm with more than four decades of experience creating retail-anchored and mixed-use projects that serve the daily needs of local communities.
Founded in Newport Beach in 1980, the company has built a diverse portfolio ranging from neighborhood shopping centers to large, multi-anchor developments, earning a reputation for dependable execution and long-standing retail relationships.
Westar’s core strength lies in its ability to manage the full development lifecycle—from site selection, acquisition, and entitlements to leasing, construction, and long-term asset management. The firm works closely with national, regional, and local retailers, municipalities, and community stakeholders to deliver projects that are best suited to serve each trade area. This hands-on approach allows Westar to adapt projects as markets evolve, to reposition existing assets, and to integrate retail with residential, office, and hospitality uses where appropriate, all with the goal of creating and maintaining long term viability and value.
Today, Westar continues to advance new development opportunities across California, focusing on projects that balance scale, functionality, and community fit. With deep regional knowledge, disciplined underwriting, and an experienced in-house team, the firm is well positioned to deliver enduring value for tenants, partners, and the communities served.
