In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, Kristina Chang of Westlake Realty Group shares how she’s modernizing and expanding a family business with deep roots in the Bay Area. Kristina walks us through the firm’s journey from legacy holdings to institutional-grade operations and innovative investment strategies.
She discusses her passion for niche industrial spaces like industrial outdoor storage (iOS), the role of AI in sourcing off-market deals, and how Westlake is navigating today’s development environment. You’ll also hear about their latest ground-up projects—from multifamily in Santa Clara to self-storage in Sonoma—and how they’re balancing innovation with family legacy.
Kristina gives valuable insights into real estate cycles, tenant profiles, and what investors are looking for right now. Plus, she shares a personal moment about working with her grandfather and what it means to carry forward his legacy.
