OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

AT MARKETSPACE CAPITAL, WE ARE DEDICATED TO DEVELOPING MORE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES. OUR MISSION IS TO CREATE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE NOT ONLY AFFORDABLE AND INCLUSIVE BUT ALSO ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE.

CREATING VALUE-ADD THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY

We prioritize sustainability in all of our value-add acquisitions. By implementing water-saving solutions, energy-efficient LED lighting, and renewable energy through the installation of solar PV systems, we aim to create communities that benefit both our investors and the environment.

INSPIRING SUSTAINABILITY

We believe that promoting sustainability extends beyond our own practices. That's why we are dedicated to encouraging our residents to adopt sustainable habits such as recycling and conserving water and energy. Our goal is to create communities that are environmentally conscious and responsible.

BUILDING A GREENER FUTURE

In our ground-up development projects, we take a community-oriented approach to sustainability. We design communities from the ground up with features such as water-efficient fixtures, green spaces, and renewable energy systems. This creates a more attractive and sustainable living environment for our residents.

FOR PROFIT & PURPOSE

We believe that investing in sustainability not only aligns with our values but also offers financial benefits. For instance, when installing solar PV systems, we take advantage of tax incentives, reducing installation costs and providing ongoing financial benefits through reduced energy costs.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO CREATING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE INCLUSIVE, AFFORDABLE, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE. JOIN US IN OUR MISSION TO CREATE A BETTER FUTURE FOR BOTH OUR INVESTORS AND THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE.

It is a Class B property with 41,191 rentable square footage, constructed in 1975 and partially renovated in 2012. MarketSpace Capital acquired Westwood Village in March 2019, with the intention of executing a value-add strategy through capital improvements, negotiating new leases with existing tenants. , and expanding the universe of tenant prospects.
