OUR EXPERIENCE
Since its founding in 1986, WDCO has constructed over 5,000 homes and apartments, improved 10,000+ lots, rezoned over 7,400 units, and contributed to the development of more than 100 communities.

In 2017, Westrum launched the Westrum Property Management division to stay true to the vision and desired execution of these Multifamily brands.
In addition to building our brands in Class “A” locations, Westrum Development Company offers a full spectrum of Residential Development Services that include:
- Entitlements/Approvals Management
- Build Your Plans or Ours
- Construction Management Services
