Westcore is a privately held industrial real estate investment firm founded in 2000 by Marc Brutten and headquartered in San Diego, California. The firm operates as a fully integrated platform focused exclusively on acquiring, developing, and managing institutional-quality industrial assets across key U.S. infill markets. Since inception, Westcore has completed over $14 billion in transactions across 1,750 buildings totaling more than 150 million square feet. The current portfolio spans approximately 25 million square feet valued at $4.5 billion in assets under management.
The firm pursues a value-add investment strategy targeting last-mile logistics, distribution, e-commerce fulfillment, and multitenant industrial properties in infill locations with strong transportation access and labor availability. Westcore employs an entrepreneurial, vertically integrated operating model with in-house property management, construction oversight, and leasing capabilities. The firm has established multiple institutional partnerships, including separate accounts with Arizona State Retirement System totaling more than $2 billion in purchasing power and commitments from Almanac Realty Advisors exceeding $500 million.
Geographic concentration centers on California markets, which represent a material portion of the portfolio, with expansion into Phoenix, Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston), Nevada, Colorado, Salt Lake City, the Pacific Northwest, and Midwest markets. Notable recent tenant leases include Rivian in San Jose and Maersk in the Inland Empire. In 2025, Westcore appointed Andrew Burke as Chief Executive Officer.
