Why We Built This
We Watched Boise Grow for 40 Years. Then We Decided to Do Something About It.
West Bench Capital started with a clear mission: create housing for middle-income households in Southwest Idaho.
We have watched the Treasure Valley transform for four decades. Decade after decade of double-digit population growth became a rule. And we started to see the consequences: our kids and grandkids won't be able to afford to live within an hour of Boise if we don't build the housing stock that serves people just starting their homeownership journeys.
The answer isn't more luxury condos or sprawling suburban subdivisions. It's a vertically integrated partnership of capital, land acquisition, and construction management that creates value at every stage — turning a strong profit while putting attainable homes in the ground.
This fund is our invitation to accredited investors who want to earn exceptional returns and be part of building something that matters.
Why West Bench Capital?
Mission Driven
We exist to create housing that provides strong returns for investors as we alleviate the long-term housing crisis in our city. We hope to develop 1000 units of housing with investment funds over a 7-10 year timeframe. 25% of our units are designed to be affordable for the average worker in our city (80-120% AMI), and this gives our development process considerable advantages.
Proven Performance
Our team of investment advisors, construction professionals and development rock stars have built a track record of high performing returns and real estate projects that create equity growth.
Location
Our primary market for redevelopment is Boise, Idaho, one of the fastest growing property markets in the country with a huge demand for multi-family development, sfh and affordable housing. It is also a very developer-friendly city with great development services and a clear process for entitlement approval.
Develop Missing Middle Housing
We build attainable homes for middle-to-upper-income households and young adults entering homeownership — the exact product the Boise market is most short on.
Build a Vertically Integrated Team
Our team combines finance, entitlement expertise, land acquisition, construction management, and legal strategy into a single, coordinated operation — eliminating the friction and margin leakage of fragmented development.
Engineer Value at Every Stage
From lot cost to vertical construction cost to sales pricing, we optimize for profit per unit across every project — not just at exit. This is how we deliver 24% target APY in a market where most developers struggle to hit 15%.
