The Firm

Insight across the full life of an asset.

Wilshire invests in apartment, office, and development opportunities in major markets throughout the United States, with a focus on the West Coast. Our principals bring more than two decades of institutional fund management experience across domestic and international markets and multiple real estate cycles.

Private Real Estate Investment Firm

A focused portfolio of multifamily, office, hotel, and development assets in Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and Phoenix — acquired with discipline and operated with care.

Institutional Pedigree

Our principals held leadership roles at Broadway Partners, Douglas Emmett, and KK daVinci Advisors, with experience spanning acquisitions, dispositions, financing, and fund management.

Full-Lifecycle Expertise

In-house capabilities span acquisition, financing, asset management, construction management, and disposition — a strategy of identifying undervalued assets with minimal risk profiles and multiple exit strategies.

On-the-Ground Presence

Offices in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Tokyo provide direct coverage of our core investment markets and immediate access to our investor relationships.

Our Approach

Vertically integrated by design.

Wilshire operates as an owner-operator. Across our multifamily portfolio, the functions that determine an asset's performance — property management, leasing, maintenance, and accounting — are handled by our own team, not outsourced. Where an asset class demands specialist operations, as with our hotel, we pair ownership with a dedicated operating partner while keeping asset management in-house.

01

Investment & Asset Management

Sourcing, underwriting, and hands-on asset management for every property we own, grounded in long-tenured broker, lender, and family-owner relationships across the West Coast.

02

Property Management

Wilshire Residential provides in-house property management and corporate housing across our multifamily communities in Seattle and Los Angeles, with our own leasing and maintenance teams on the ground.

03

Development

Ground-up development capability, demonstrated by projects we entitled, designed, and delivered in Seattle's South Lake Union — Fox & Finch and Tellus on Dexter.

04

Hospitality

Ownership of the Sea Sprite Beach Club in Hermosa Beach, pairing a generational beachfront asset with a dedicated hospitality operating partner for day-to-day hotel operations.

05

Investor Services

Institutional-standard reporting and accounting across all properties and entities — delivered in English and Japanese, quarterly, with the principals directly engaged in every relationship.

Bilingual Reporting

Quarterly reporting in English and Japanese, maintained to institutional audit standards, with the principals directly engaged in every relationship.
