We collaborate with local businesses, leaders, and residents to create spaces that reflect the heart of the neighborhoods we serve.
A Better Developer for Your Neighborhood
Many developers focus on quick turnarounds—doing the bare minimum to make a property look better before selling it off. We take the opposite approach. West Hive Capital is committed to long-term success, making sure the businesses we bring in will actually benefit the neighborhood and thrive for years to come.
A lot of developers lease only to big national chains, which can push out small businesses. We make an active effort to bring in a mix of both—ensuring local entrepreneurs get a chance to open in prime locations. This creates a stronger, more unique shopping center that truly reflects the character of the community.
Most developers come in, build what they want, and leave. We do things differently. We listen to residents, business owners, and community leaders to understand what’s missing and what people actually want in a shopping center. Whether it’s a coffee shop, daycare, fitness center, or grocery store, we make sure our developments meet real community needs.
Abandoned shopping centers attract crime. By revitalizing these spaces with better lighting, security, and active businesses, we make neighborhoods safer. Our projects turn empty lots into well-designed, welcoming places where people want to shop, eat, and gather.
Our properties go beyond just stores and restaurants—we design comfortable, inviting spaces where people want to spend time. Whether it’s outdoor seating areas, open-air patios, or communal gathering spots, we focus on making our centers a place for neighbors to connect, families to relax, and friends to meet up.
Investing in value-add retail properties contributes not only to increased property values but also to the revitalization of local communities. Well-designed and attractive retail spaces can transform neighborhoods, attracting visitors and providing valuable amenities to residents and businesses alike.
We don't just throw in tenants to fill space. We strategically select businesses that will succeed in the area, ensuring long-term sustainability. By improving infrastructure, upgrading building designs, and creating a strong business mix, we make sure our projects remain successful for decades—not just a few years.
Some developers neglect their properties after they’re built, letting them deteriorate over time. We actively manage and maintain our centers, ensuring they remain clean, safe, and attractive for both businesses and residents.
