Who we are
At Weststone Investment, we combine technology with human expertise, to make real estate investing easier and more profitable for individual investors than ever before!
Based in Dubai and USA, our team of real estate professionals, software developers, and business innovators work hard to make rare deals accessible to individual investors. Our alternatives to traditional real estate investments provide a chance for you to diversify from the volatile stock market without the time and effort typically required by property owners.
With our unique combination of syndication and crowdfunding, Weststone Investment is different from other companies in this space. We are more than just a real estate crowdfunding platform; we are a team of expert real estate analysts who source the best developers, operators, and builders in the country, to bring you the best deals possible and manage those deals from start to finish.
Our experienced and skilled team oversees every aspect of the deal. We handle the funding process, establish the ownership LLC, secure the loan, purchase the property, supervise the architects, builders, and designers, and take care of the sale or ongoing management of the asset (depending on whether the project was designed to be sold upon completion or held long-term). We manage all the financials in a transparent manner, including loan draws, cost verifications, vendor payments, 1099 and K-1 tax forms, and investor distributions. Furthermore, we provide regular updates for investors, including progress photos.
At Weststone, we are proud to invest alongside our investors in each deal. We never offer an investment opportunity that we aren’t financially invested in ourselves!
With a stable legal structure, full transparency, and a proven track record of successful projects, investors can invest confidently with us. At the heart of our real estate syndication platform lies smart contract technology, which operates on a decentralized blockchain network. Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. These digital agreements eliminate the need for intermediaries, minimize human error, and ensure transparency and trust among all parties involved.
What we do
Weststone finds real estate deals with high-return potential and makes those deals available to individual investors who wish to own a share of the deal.
We specialize in wide range of projects. Our focus is on value-add and ground-up construction projects where we can maximize a property’s worth quickly. Instead of relying solely on long-term appreciation and rental income, we can immediately raise the property value in each deal, increasing the profitability of our investments under any market conditions.
Anyone with extra capital on hand can purchase a property and benefit from property appreciation, but not everyone has the time, knowledge, or desire to complete extensive value-add work or ground-up developments. That is what Weststone Investment does; we manage these complex projects, allowing passive real estate investors to put low minimum investment amounts on unique deals with high-yield potential.
With a team of specialists, software automation, and smart contract technology to handle deals in volume, we can efficiently run with low overhead costs to deliver higher returns to investors.
Everyone on our team has two passions in common: helping investors grow their wealth and creating beautiful properties for people to call home.
How we started
Weststone was founded in 2016 and changed history by becoming the first fully regulated* digital platform for real estate investments in the MENA region.
Sandbox & Early Stages
Being the first and only platform for real estate investments in the Middle East wasn’t easy, we needed to show what we are made of and gain the trust of our beloved community. In order to do that, we felt being regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority lies in the interest of our users and us. So for the first year, Weststone was under DFSA’s sandbox testing license and graduated to it’s full license in 2019. This is where we knew it is just the beginning of an amazing journey!
To date, we have invested over $75m with 100% of the principal returned to investors!
And we are proud to say that the vast majority of our investors are REPEAT investors.
We are pleased to invite accredited investors to invest alongside Weststone Investment and benefit from our experience through rare opportunities in the real estate market.
