Residential Developer and General Contractor: Single and multifamily for-rent and for-sale communities.
Pacific West specializes in residential development and construction.
More accurately, Pacific West specializes in high value residential development and construction.
Over the last three decades, we’ve learned that no matter what condition the real estate market is in, offering home buyers and renters more for their money is always the right move. For our customers. For our investors.
Apartments. Townhomes. Condominiums. Single-family homes. With every unit and housing development we build we are committed to providing maximum value.
It’s an approach that also benefits our investment partners. Giving home owners and renters more for their money leads directly to bigger, deeper market share. It increases customer loyalty. And that translates directly into more sales, quicker occupancy, longer leases, and better investor returns.
Pacific West is available as a full-service development company, construction company and a general contractor for:
Our current clients include
Spend less. Get more. It works on every level.
Our goal is to give home buyers and renters the most for their money.
To reach that goal we do more for less. We control construction costs and use those savings to add more features and better quality. Because we can often reduce per square foot costs by up to 25% we can choose better locations and add extras without inflating prices.
Doing more for less is essentially just another way of describing construction efficiency. And when it comes to construction efficiency, no one rivals Pacific West.
A never-ending pursuit for maximum efficiency.
In 1991, we graduated from serving as a single-family home builder and took on our first real estate development. It was a single-family home project within a prestigious planned community. It didn’t take long to discover how inefficient the traditional residential development process was.
That inefficiency led to a constant number of change orders and budget increases. While that might have been considered a necessary evil for real estate development, we wanted to create a better way.
After that first project, we realized we wanted to do more than simply survive. We wanted to thrive. And that meant devising a more efficient construction and development process.
Since then, we have been focused (obsessed) with construction efficiency. We’ve studied every step of the construction process, from the field to the front office. We identified numerous ways where we could improve the development process. (That focus on efficiency will never end; we will always seeks new ways to do more for less.)
We’ve now built more than 13,000 homes and apartments. Each one offers uncommon value. That’s true whether we’re building market rate apartments, affordable communities (income-assisted or tax credit), luxury single-family custom homes, student housing, or seniors communities.
Pushing the design-build process to a new level.
By using an integrated, modular design-build approach, we provide clients with the most livable space per acre at the lowest possible per-square foot cost. All while allowing for A+ institutional-grade quality.
We’ve restructured and repurposed the traditional design-build framework.
We apply superior design and engineering. We create products that maximize the use of off-site manufacturing and modular construction. We use products that incorporate familiar assemblies and building processes. It’s a familiarity that exponentially increases efficiency.
Because we use a repeatable and scalable system we can establish a historical standard, a baseline. That allows us to accurately estimate material and construction costs before construction begins. In fact, we’re so confident of our estimates that we guarantee them.
We also self-perform most trades, from framing to painting. This provides us with exceptional control over a building’s structure. It also streamlines scheduling, assists with risk management, and improves quality control.
To avoid price fluctuations and supply chain issues, we purchase many materials in bulk direct from the manufacturer.
We also employ our self-designed customized technology, a $4.5 million investment that ties everyone together and keeps everyone on the same page.
All told, it’s a design-build approach that allows us to greatly reduce labor costs. It eliminates virtually all stages of markup. It speeds up construction. It enhances quality.
It’s a better way of real estate development.
Off-site manufacturing is not only more economical, it’s appreciably faster.
The Pacific West design-build process takes maximum advantage of off-site manufacturing. Unlike on-site labor, the labor from off-site manufacturing works in continual shifts, 24 hours a day. It allows us to start construction from day one (on up to a third of a building). This cuts the overall build time by a month or more.
Off-site manufacturing improves quality. It’s free from environmental variables. Every step is easily managed and monitored. Because we use the same assemblies and manufacturing teams, we can eliminate virtually all errors through experience and repetition.
No detail has been overlooked. Off-site sections have even been designed to be transported on regular-sized vehicles. Eliminating oversized loads reduces costs and avoids delays associated with extra DOT requirements.
Get the most from your land, the most from your investment.
If you’re a property owner interested in a land development project, or are an investor interested in a residential project, check with Pacific West. Our detailed financial modeling tool can show you in detail how you can maximize your land’s value or investment. And you can do so before you enter into an agreement.
We’ll help you (without obligation) by running the numbers for various scenarios. You can see what to expect from an apartment project. Compare a multifamily for-rent project to a multifamily for-sale development. Determine what the potential return would be for a single-family for-rent community. Evaluate an affordable housing project, or a single-family luxury home project.
You can meet with our design and engineering team to learn how to increase density without sacrificing livability or violating zoning requirements.

Exclusive residential products designed by the 1085 Group.
The architects and engineers of the 1085 Group have spent thousands of hours creating residential products that offer more for less.
More livable space per acre. More density. More features. More off-site manufacturing. More flexibility. Whether it’s a multifamily or single-family development. Whether it’s for-sale, for-rent, market rate, affordable (tax credit), student, senior, moderate or luxury.
The 1085 Group provides Pacific West with exclusive products that are innovative and evolutionary. They convert wasted space into livable space. They offer extra layout flexibility. All while offering the kind of amenities and features that are usually associated only with much higher-priced products.
Through smart design and strategic building placement, Pacific West’s multifamily residential products increase density without compromising privacy or quality of life.
Our exclusive residential products, both multifamily and single family, can even reduce a building’s footprint while retaining or even adding to the livable square footage. That significantly reduces construction costs.
It all adds up to increased renter retention, lengthened leases, and greater homeowner satisfaction. More for less.
