Westbrook Apartments

Westbrook Apartment Homes is a new 56-unit multifamily development in Riverside, CA located within the core of California’s Inland Empire. The Inland Empire is the largest eCommerce employer in America and has been California’s fastest growing region, by job growth, for the past 10 years. In 2020 alone the Inland Empire absorbed 26M square feet of eCommerce related industrial and logistics space. Additionally, there is another 120M+ square feet of new eCommerce space in various stages of development. These projects are expected to add another 250,000 direct jobs and another 250,000-500,000 indirect jobs over the next 5 years. Relative to the current job base of 2M, this is a tremendous regional job increase of 25%-37.5%.

During 2020, the Inland Empire’s apartment market was the best performing major metro in the country with 6.5% year over year rent increase and 3.2% vacancy, representing an extremely under supplied market.
The La Sierra neighborhood, where the Westbrook project is located, has outperformed the region with rental growth upwards of 8% over the past few years. This growth is attributable to the aging and antiquated supply of housing, lack of new housing supply, strong demand for newer units, and nearby job growth.
Additionally, the City of Riverside is undergoing a large-scale beautification project within the La Sierra neighbor increasing the area’s appeal to families.
With these factors in mind, Westbrook is well situated to capture a significant portion of the area’s demand as tenants flock to new construction upgrade from older properties on the market.
