Your Trusted 1031 Exchange Partner
What exactly does a 1031 Exchange mean?
A 1031 Exchange allows investors to defer capital gains taxes from the sale of an investment property by reinvesting the proceeds into another property of equal or greater value. This allows you to postpone taxes while using the funds from the sale to acquire a new property, which can continue to build your wealth.
The Benefits of a 1031 Exchange
A 1031 Exchange offers more than just deferring capital gains tax. It provides you with a valuable opportunity to grow your investment beyond what you could have achieved if you had paid those taxes upfront. While taxes will eventually be due, the ability to reinvest without immediate tax liability allows you to build more wealth over time. This strategy helps you compound your returns and potentially achieve a higher overall return on your investment.
Investors who utilize a 1031 Exchange often experience:
- Stronger returns on their investments
- Increased cash flow for future opportunities
- Greater diversification in their portfolios
- Less reliance on unpredictable market fluctuations
- Added protection for their portfolio
- Additional tax advantages

Community Testimonials
Why people trust West Hive Capital
West Hive Capital turned our struggling shopping center into a vibrant community hub. Before, it was mostly empty and rundown—now it’s filled with great businesses, outdoor seating, and a real sense of energy. Kyle and Brandon made sure this project was done the right way, from start to finish. Our neighborhood finally has a place to gather again!
What impressed me the most is how West Hive Capital actually listened to us. Instead of just filling spaces with any tenants, Jason worked with local and national businesses to bring in shops and restaurants that fit what the neighborhood needed. Now we have a great mix of small businesses and top brands that actually serve the people who live here.
Before West Hive Capital stepped in, our shopping center was an eyesore—it was dark, abandoned, and unsafe. Mo worked behind the scenes to coordinate with city officials and contractors, ensuring the revitalization included better lighting, security, and thoughtful design that makes the space feel inviting. Now, it's well-lit, full of activity, and has become a gathering spot for families and friends. The difference is night and day.
This redevelopment didn’t just bring in new businesses—it brought in jobs. From construction to permanent retail positions, people in our community now have real opportunities. Jamey played a huge role in making sure tenant spaces were built out quickly and to high standards, helping businesses open faster. It’s great to see investment that actually benefits the people who live here.
We used to have to drive 15 minutes just to find a decent restaurant. Now, thanks to West Hive Capital, we have amazing dining options right in our neighborhood. Kyle and Brandon made sure we had not just tenants, but the right mix of restaurants and businesses that make the center feel like a true destination. The outdoor seating and open spaces make it a place where people actually want to hang out.
I always dreamed of opening a store in my hometown, but finding the right location was tough. Jason helped me secure a lease in the newly redeveloped center, and Jamey worked with me every step of the way to get my space built out quickly. West Hive Capital truly cares about helping small business owners succeed.
For years, this shopping center was nothing but empty storefronts and broken signs. Jamey and the project team completely reimagined the space, turning it into a thriving center with great tenants, outdoor seating, and businesses that serve the community. West Hive Capital didn’t just renovate the property—they transformed the whole neighborhood.
Ever since West Hive Capital redeveloped the center near my house, property values have gone up. Brandon ensured the entire project was done to the highest standard, bringing in tenants that drive traffic and make the center feel like a true asset to the community. Instead of an abandoned property dragging the area down, this revitalized shopping center has made it a desirable place to live.
Most developers come in, build what they want, and move on. Kyle and the team are different—they met with us, asked what we needed, and actually made it happen. Heather, the property manager, has been great at making sure the shopping center stays clean, well-maintained, and responsive to tenant needs. You can tell they care about more than just making a quick profit—they care about the long-term success of the neighborhood.
One of the biggest surprises was how well West Hive Capital treats both the community and the tenants. Most developers disappear after construction, but Taylor has been amazing at answering questions, addressing concerns, and making sure people feel heard. It’s rare to find a company that actually stands by their work and puts in the effort to keep things running smoothly.
