Since 1995, Westwood Capital has operated with a clear focus: delivering tailored, value-driven solutions to complex capital markets transactions. We believe investment banking is not about volume or standardized products, but about thoughtful structuring aligned with each client’s unique objectives.
Westwood’s bankers have been engaged — for an average of nearly two decades each — in the creation and popularization of many forms of financing that are today widely accepted in the financial markets but were originally custom-designed solutions for individual clients.
Today, this approach is reflected in our work across Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) transactions, where we structure and execute competitive deals for developers, syndicators, and institutional investors. Our capabilities include advanced solutions such as GP securitizations and layered financing strategies designed to enhance value across the capital stack.
Our team brings decades of experience in developing and implementing innovative financing structures — many of which were originally custom-designed solutions that have since become widely adopted in the market. This depth of experience allows us to approach each transaction with both creativity and discipline.
We remain focused on delivering senior-level attention to every engagement, managing transactions from initial structuring through execution. This commitment has resulted in consistent outcomes for our clients and long-standing relationships across the LIHTC and affordable housing market.
It is Westwood’s continuing and passionate focus on giving each client the benefit of the experience and attention of the firm’s most senior professionals that has resulted in an ongoing series of successes for our clients, and industry recognition for the firm. Westwood is the source for maximizing value and opportunity through new ideas and creative solutions — so often “never-before-done” until done by Westwood.
Our experienced team’s ability to creatively source opportunities and execute on unique strategies is our advantage. We identify, research, execute and manage value-add commercial real estate investments in a transparent way that gives our investors clarity and peace of mind.
