West Egg Development is a development and investment manager focused on identifying and creating value in New York real estate.
We champion successful real estate development projects by recognizing ripe submarkets, by identifying highest and best use, and by controlling product quality. We are extremely selective in the projects we choose to undertake.
We monitor market trends, track neighborhood dynamics, and study where demand is heading — to identify where value is before the market catches up.
Proprietary West Egg research · 28,900+ market-rate listings with subway, crime, and submarket overlays
