Westbank
Westbank is a leading real estate development practice in North America. Active across Canada, in the United States and in Tokyo, their projects include residential, hotels, retail, office, rental, district energy, affordable housing and public art. Established in 1992, they are based in Vancouver with offices in Toronto, Hong Kong, Seattle and Tokyo, and over 50 billion dollars of projects completed or under development. Westbank is driven by the belief that beauty and culture in all forms and in the broadest definitions, are essential to human existence.
