reimagining, redeveloping, redefining
Westlake Urban was recently formed to lead the redevelopment of Westlake Realty Group’s income property and land portfolio. Many of the properties in Westlake’s portfolio were built 40-50 years ago. Today, the portfolio and the communities in which the properties are located are ripe for re-imagining to meet the changing demands of the 21st century. In transforming these properties, Westlake Urban seeks to not just re-create but to innovate – moving beyond easy, formulaic development patterns to build properties that add vibrancy to urban communities. L Studio has been engaged to establish the Westlake Urban brand and tell their visionary story, both through the company’s communications as well as their projects around the Bay Area.
