OUR TEAM
THE FACES BEHIND THE PLACES With an average tenure of 15 years, the East West Partners team has a broad base of skills, experiences and talents. And it's no exaggeration— we consider each other family. We work hard to foster a culture wherein everyone feels welcome, empowered to succeed, and supported—not only in their day-to-day work, but also in their larger career ambitions. We think this approach makes
us a great company to work with, and for. But don’t take it from us. The Denver Post graciously awarded East West Partners the number one spot on its 2019 Top Workplaces list. And we made Outside Magazine’s national ranking of the top 50 places to work in 2019. After all, we try not to toot our own horn; but if someone else does, that’s totally OK with us.

VALUES
The core beliefs that inspire everything we do.
13
14
BE NICE AND DO THE RIGHT THING We treat everyone—from equity groups to crane operators—like we’d treat a friend. We hold ourselves accountable, work hard and treat people fairly.
15
BE HONEST We run an all-cards-onthe-table kind of business, communicating with customers, partners and stakeholders frequently and clearly.
16
PEOPLE BEFORE PRO FORMA At the core of everything we do is our focus on enriching lives—so we thoughtfully consider how our work adds value, while ensuring that our employees feel fulfilled and rewarded.
17
LIVE WHERE WE WORK Creating a terrific place requires understanding what makes it great, and what can make it better. So we immerse ourselves in the communities where we work. In fact, we live in them.
18
CONSTANTLY SURPRISE PEOPLE Instead of building to where we see things going, we design to where we think they should be, by seeking out innovative ideas that bring positive, unexpected transformations.
19
NO CORNER CUTTING We’re in the business of creating forever, lasting, timeless additions to the communities we’re in, so we don’t take shortcuts. The sweet taste of low price fades long before the bitter taste of poor quality.
20
BUILD GREEN Building sustainably is an obligation, which is fine with us, because we love the Earth.
21
NUMBERS AREN’T BORING Reporting is our keystone habit. It sounds boring. But we love reporting. We take pride in it, and strive to be thorough, interesting and accurate. Doing so makes us better at every other part of our job. Not boring.

DEVELOPMENT
IT ALL STARTS WITH A VISION Our ultimate goal is to create terrific places that people love, so we are intentionally selective with the projects we work on, looking for big opportunities to bring incredible communities to life, both for residential and commercial development. On each project, we start by understanding the market and its consumers so we can design strategically for their end-use.
We collaborate with local officials and handpick partners who share our values. Our reputation for honesty and accountability allows us to pursue and structure financing, with a focus on value creation. And we always sweat the small stuff, especially the quality of our relationships and products, so we can execute successful projects that wholeheartedly deliver on our vision and the visions of our partners.

DEVELOPMENT
WORKOUTS Workouts happen when a property has fallen into distress, whether because of economic, financial or other issues with the original developer. East West Partners is uniquely positioned to tackle these challenging projects, thanks to our full arsenal of development disciplines. We are deeply committed to achieving successful outcomes for both our investment partners and community end-users.
On turnarounds, we step in and analyze the best approach for addressing the issues plaguing the project, from lack of funding to construction defects, owner relationships, public perception and more. Then, we oversee all aspects of the remaining development, in order to revitalize the project and deliver successfully on or above everyone’s expectations.

DEVELOPMENT
MASTER PLANS It is no coincidence that our two most prominent master-planned developments, Denver's Union Station Neighborhood and Beaver Creek Resort, have been awarded the ULI Award for Excellence. We believe it’s a result of our extensive in-house capabilities, our ability to successfully deliver
across both public and private interests, and our passion for truly understanding the needs of the communities in which we operate. This is what gives us a unique advantage in bringing large-scale, master-planned projects to life for our clients.
