Westland Unveils New Leasing Office with Community Grand Opening

Investing in Our Team and Community

Westland Real Estate Group recently reached a significant milestone with the highly anticipated grand opening of the brand-new leasing office at Agave Village. This comprehensive renovation represents a major investment in both the physical property and the dedicated team members who manage it day-to-day.

By intentionally designing a unified, modern workspace, Westland has brought the entire Agave Village property management and leasing team together under one roof. The new facility features an open layout equipped with advanced technology and collaborative environments, streamlining daily operations and empowering the team members to provide an even higher standard of service to current and future residents.

Fostering Community with a Grand Opening Celebration

To properly unveil the new space, Agave Village hosted a vibrant grand opening celebration that brought the neighborhood together. Recognizing that the leasing office serves as the central hub of the property, the management team organized an engaging afternoon designed to show profound appreciation for the community.

The event featured a catered taco truck offering fresh, local fare, alongside a live DJ who provided an energetic and welcoming atmosphere right outside the new office doors. Residents had the opportunity to tour the newly completed workspace, speak directly with the team members, and connect with their neighbors in a relaxed, festive environment.

Resident Appreciation and Meaningful Giveaways

A central focus of the afternoon was expressing sincere gratitude to the individuals and families who choose to call Agave Village home. As part of the festivities, the Westland team hosted a community raffle featuring a variety of prizes specifically chosen to provide genuine value and entertainment.

Throughout the event, staff members awarded practical prizes, including grocery gift cards to assist with everyday household needs, as well as Netflix gift cards to facilitate relaxing movie nights at home. Additionally, the team distributed tickets to the Circus Circus Adventuredome, offering families a memorable day of local Las Vegas entertainment.

The most anticipated moment of the afternoon arrived with the final drawing for the grand prize: a brand-new flat-screen television. In a truly heartwarming culmination to the event, the winning ticket belonged to a loyal Westland resident who has proudly lived within our communities since 2015. Celebrating a resident with such a long-standing history at the property served as a perfect testament to Westland’s overarching mission of fostering clean, safe, and stable communities.

A Continued Commitment to the Resident Experience

The completion of the Agave Village leasing office is a reflection of Westland Real Estate Group's broader commitment to investing in its properties and the people who manage them. By creating clean, safe, and stable communities for both team members and residents, Westland continues to build upon its foundation of responsible ownership and consistent property management. The newly opened doors at Agave Village stand as a welcoming gateway for residents and a proud operational hub for the team driving the community's ongoing success.

Westland’s Growth in Multifamily Real Estate

Nearly 50 Years of Growth

Westland Real Estate Group’s history is rooted in family, entrepreneurship and a long-term approach to real estate. What began nearly 50 years ago with the operation of the California State Fair has grown into a multifamily real estate company with more than 17,000 apartment homes across Nevada, California and Texas.

Today, Westland owns and operates communities throughout Las Vegas, Southern California and San Antonio, with a focus on providing clean, safe and stable communities for residents.

A Family Business With Unusual Beginnings

Westland’s story began with Allen Alevy, the company’s founder and grandfather of current Chief Financial Officer Shimon Greenspan.

In the early years, Alevy operated the California State Fair and developed a mobile home park on the fairgrounds for fair employees. In 1976, after selling the state fair, he acquired a mobile home park in Long Beach, California, establishing the foundation for the family’s long-term involvement in real estate.

The family also developed connections to Las Vegas during this period, including Alevy’s involvement in the development of the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino. Over time, the company expanded its focus from mobile home parks into multifamily housing, establishing a foundation for the portfolio Westland operates today.

Expanding Into Las Vegas

Westland’s expansion into Las Vegas became a significant turning point for the company.

In 2011, the family began exploring the Las Vegas multifamily market after recognizing an opportunity to acquire apartment communities at significantly lower prices than the cost of new construction. The company’s first Las Vegas acquisition included approximately 400 units, representing a substantial increase in scale compared with its Southern California portfolio at the time.

That initial investment became the beginning of a long-term commitment to Southern Nevada. Over the past 15 years, Westland has grown its Las Vegas portfolio to more than 11,000 apartment homes. The company also owns and operates approximately 2,700 units in Southern California and more than 3,000 units in San Antonio, Texas.

A Long-Term Approach to Multifamily Real Estate

Westland’s approach to real estate is centered on long-term ownership and operations.

Rather than focusing solely on short-term investment opportunities, the company looks for properties where improvements to operations, management and the physical community can create lasting value.

As the company has grown, its scale has also allowed Westland to develop in-house capabilities and operational resources that support its communities. This includes specialized teams and systems designed to address property needs efficiently and maintain communities over the long term.

The company’s buy-and-hold approach allows Westland to remain focused on the continued operation and improvement of its communities after an acquisition.

Continued Growth in Southern Nevada

Westland’s commitment to Las Vegas continued in 2026 with the acquisition of four multifamily communities: Bonanza Gardens, Cedar Village, Nellis Gardens and Wood Ridge Villas.

The acquisition added 713 apartment homes to Westland’s Southern Nevada portfolio and brought the company to more than 40 communities across the Las Vegas Valley, representing more than 11,000 residential units.

The expansion reflects Westland’s continued investment in Southern Nevada and its focus on building a larger, more connected portfolio in the market.

Looking Ahead

As Westland continues to grow, the company remains focused on markets where long-term population and employment growth can support multifamily housing demand.

The company’s expansion strategy emphasizes scale, allowing Westland to develop the operational infrastructure needed to effectively manage communities within each market. According to Greenspan, establishing a meaningful presence in a new market requires sufficient scale before expanding into additional markets.

That approach has helped shape Westland’s growth from its early roots in Southern California to its current presence across Nevada, California and Texas.

Nearly five decades after the company’s beginnings at the California State Fair, Westland Real Estate Group continues to build on its family-owned foundation while expanding its presence in communities throughout the Southwest and California.

At the center of that growth is a commitment to providing clean, safe and stable communities where residents can make a home and reach their true potential.

Westland Expands Southern Nevada Portfolio with Four Multifamily Acquisitions

Four New Westland Communities

Westland Real Estate Group has expanded its Southern Nevada portfolio with the acquisition of four multifamily communities in Las Vegas: Bonanza Gardens, Cedar Village, Nellis Gardens and Wood Ridge Villas.

The acquisitions bring Westland’s Las Vegas portfolio to more than 40 communities across the valley, totaling 11,225 units, further strengthening the company’s long-term investment in Southern Nevada.

As both the owner and operator of its communities, Westland maintains a direct role in property management, investment and the resident experience.

Continuing Our Investment in Southern Nevada

Southern Nevada continues to be an important market for Westland as the company evaluates opportunities for thoughtful, long-term growth.

“Our growth strategy is focused on acquiring and operating communities where we can create lasting value through responsible ownership, consistent management and continued investment,” said Yanki Greenspan, President of Westland Real Estate Group.

Creating Clean, Safe & Stable Communities

For nearly 50 years, Westland has focused on long-term ownership and responsible property management. As our portfolio continues to grow, our commitment remains the same: creating clean, safe and stable communities for our residents while investing in the neighborhoods we serve.

The acquisition was recently featured in Nevada Business Magazine.

Celebrating Outstanding Service Across Westland

Five-star appreciations are presented to team members across Westland communities in Nevada, California and Texas. The recognition includes maintenance team members, office staff and other team members whose work is specifically acknowledged by residents in five-star reviews.

For maintenance teams in particular, resident feedback provides an important reminder of the impact their work has on the communities they serve. From addressing service requests to helping maintain clean, safe and stable communities, their efforts often happen behind the scenes but remain an important part of the resident experience.

By recognizing team members when residents take the time to share positive feedback, Westland is able to celebrate the individuals who consistently go above and beyond in their roles.

Continuing to Recognize Excellence

Westland Celebrates Maintenance and Support Teams

A Sweet Way to Show Appreciation

Westland Real Estate Group recently hosted a series of ice cream socials across several of its communities as a special way to recognize the hardworking team members who help keep our properties running smoothly. The events brought team members together to enjoy a sweet treat while celebrating their dedication and contributions.

Recognizing the Teams Behind Our Communities

Our maintenance, HVAC, and porter teams play an important role in creating well-maintained, comfortable communities for our residents. From responding to maintenance needs and maintaining shared spaces to ensuring essential systems are operating properly, their work makes a meaningful difference every day.

Ice cream socials were held at Solaire, Toscana Villas, Emerald Bay, and Hacienda Hills, giving team members an opportunity to step away from their daily responsibilities, connect with colleagues, and enjoy some well-deserved appreciation.

A Sweet Thank You

The events were a simple but meaningful way to recognize the people whose work often happens behind the scenes. Their commitment, teamwork, and attention to detail contribute to the experience of our residents and the success of our communities.

Westland Celebrates 2026 Employee Award Winners

Celebrating Excellence Across Our Communities

At Westland Real Estate Group, our success is driven by the dedication and teamwork of the team members who serve our residents and communities every day. This summer, Westland celebrated the accomplishments of its teams and team members through the 2026 World Cup Occupancy Goal Tournament.

Held from May 1 through July 31, 2026, the company-wide competition challenged communities across Westland’s portfolio to achieve the highest occupancy growth while recognizing outstanding performance in leasing, retention, collections, and maintenance.

The Winning Communities

The competition brought teams together across Westland’s regions, creating an opportunity for communities to work toward shared goals while celebrating their accomplishments.

Tropicana Royale was named the 2026 World Cup Champion after achieving the highest occupancy growth during the tournament. The winning team received a championship trophy, commemorative gold medals, a $250 gift card for each team member, and a team outing.

Wood Ridge Villas earned second place, followed by Nellis Gardens in third place and Ridge at Southcross in fourth place. Each community was recognized for its performance and received awards honoring its place among the tournament’s top-performing communities.

Top Leasing Performers

In addition to recognizing community performance, Westland celebrated team members who made significant contributions through their individual leasing results.

The Golden Cleat award recognized the top three leasing team members across Westland’s Nevada and Texas regions based on the highest number of move-ins during the tournament. Karina Sandoval Sanchez earned first place and received $1,000, while Nayelli Menbreno earned second place with a $500 award. Nathalie Ortiz earned third place and received $300.

These achievements reflect the important role individual team members play in helping their communities reach their goals.

Regional and Team Achievements

The tournament also highlighted accomplishments beyond leasing. The Continental Cup recognized the region with the highest average occupancy growth across its communities. The North Las Vegas Region, led by Regional Manager Mayra Castano, earned the award.

Westland also recognized excellence in resident retention and collections. Wood Ridge Villas received the Best “Defense” award, recognizing Ashley Madrid and Jeeny Rodriguez Vallejo for their performance in these areas.

Maintenance and grounds teams also contributed to the competition. Cedar Village and La Ensenada Villas earned the Clean Sheet award for meeting the tournament’s standard for minimizing call-backs and work orders following new resident move-ins.

A Summer of Teamwork and Success

The 2026 World Cup Occupancy Goal Tournament was an opportunity to recognize the team members and teams whose daily efforts contribute to the success of Westland’s communities. From leasing and resident retention to collections, maintenance, and property operations, every role plays an important part in creating well-managed communities and positive resident experiences.

Westland Real Estate Group congratulates all of the team members and communities recognized during this year’s competition and thanks everyone who contributed to its success.

Back-to-School Backpack Giveaways at Westland Communities

Investing in Our Communities

At Westland Real Estate Group, creating communities where people can reach their true potential extends beyond providing quality housing. As students prepare for a new school year, our annual Back-to-School Giveaway helps equip resident families with backpacks and essential school supplies, giving young scholars the tools they need to begin the year with confidence.

Supporting education is one of the many ways we invest in the communities we serve. Through this annual initiative, we are proud to help ease the financial burden on families while ensuring students have the supplies they need to start the school year ready to learn.

Bringing Neighbors Together In Nevada and Texas

This year's events brought residents across our communities in Nevada and Texas together to connect, celebrate, and prepare for the school year ahead. 

In Las Vegas, we held 13 drives across all four regions and distributed a total of 1,400 backpacks. Communities including Amber Ridge, Hacienda Hills, and University Gardens welcomed families as children received backpacks filled with school essentials, creating an atmosphere of excitement and community. At two North Las Vegas communities, local law enforcement partners helped make the events even more meaningful. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation donated additional backpacks and joined the team in distributing supplies at Liberty Village, while the City of North Las Vegas Police Department supported resident families at Hacienda Hills.

In Texas, resident families at Astra, Chestnut Park and Amber Hill received 300 drawstring bags filled with school supplies to help students start the school year prepared and ready to learn.

Making a Lasting Impact

Our Back-to-School Giveaway events are made possible through the dedication of our onsite teams, regional leadership, and community partners who work together to create meaningful experiences for our residents. Their commitment helps strengthen the neighborhoods we serve while reinforcing the importance of investing in the next generation.

More than a school supply giveaway, these gatherings are designed to bring neighbors together, encourage families to engage with onsite teams, and strengthen communities through connection and support.

Preparing for Summer

Taking a Proactive Approach to Prevent AC Issues

In Las Vegas, summer heat puts significant strain on apartment communities. While many properties address issues as they arise, Westland takes a different approach: inspecting more than 11,000 air conditioning units each spring across its portfolio to help prevent breakdowns before peak temperatures hit.

A Proactive Approach at Scale 

Each spring, Westland teams conduct preventative maintenance across more than 40 properties throughout the Las Vegas valley. The focus is simple: identify and address potential issues early, helping reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns during the hottest months of the year. This work is especially important in older apartment communities, where systems often require more attention and where outages can have a greater impact on residents.

Since launching in 2022, the HVAC maintenance program has contributed to a measurable reduction in summer maintenance issues, including roughly 1,000 fewer air conditioning-related work orders in its first year, with continued improvements year over year.

“At the end of the day, this is about avoiding those moments where something goes out in the middle of the heat,” said Yanki Greenspan, President of Westland Real Estate Group. “If we can catch things early, it’s better for everyone. It takes more planning and investment upfront, but we’ve made that decision because it matters for our residents.”

Preparation Before Temperatures Rise

The process is consistent across properties. Maintenance teams create a work order for each occupied unit and complete a standardized checklist, including system testing, cleaning and filter replacement. Any issues identified during inspections are addressed early by trained technicians, helping prevent larger repairs later.

To support this effort, Westland invests in training its maintenance teams, including offering HVAC certification to technicians. Regional maintenance managers oversee the process to ensure consistency and timelines are met across all communities.

What This Means for Residents

For residents, the impact is straightforward: fewer disruptions and more reliable cooling when it matters most. In a city where summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees, consistent access to air conditioning directly affects comfort and day-to-day life.

While this level of large-scale preventative maintenance isn’t standard across the industry, it remains a focus for Westland as temperatures rise — supporting the company’s broader commitment to providing safe, stable and clean housing across its communities.
