We are West Oak Investments (formerly Nicor Group)
Welcome to West Oak Investments, where real estate development is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a journey that spans generations, blending heritage with innovation. Established in 1989, West Oak Investments began its story with a focus on heritage rehabilitation and condominium conversions. Today, as we move into our second generation of ownership, we have broadened our horizons, engaging in commercial development and management as well as multi-family development and management.

Versatility
In the ever-evolving world of real estate, adaptability is key. West Oak values individuals who are willing and ready to jump into any area of the company when needed. Whether it’s marketing, sales, customer service, or something entirely new, you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your horizons and develop skills across multiple disciplines. We thrive on versatility, and we want you to be part of our dynamic team.
Community
West Oak’s commitment to community is twofold. We’re passionate about enhancing the culture within our organization by fostering a positive, productive, and fun work environment. Our team members are our biggest assets, and we go the extra mile to ensure their well-being and growth. But our dedication to community doesn’t stop at our office doors. We’re also deeply committed to giving back to our local community. Whether it’s through charity events, community service, or other initiatives, we believe in making a difference right where we live and work.
Our Heritage
Our roots lie in preserving the rich tapestry of our local history. In 1989, West Oak Investments was founded with a mission to breathe new life into historical landmarks. We took on the challenge of heritage rehabilitation, carefully restoring the grandeur of iconic structures, and converting them into modern commercial projects or condominiums. Our dedication to preserving the cultural legacy of the community remains a source of pride and a testament to our unwavering commitment.
A New Chapter
As West Oak Investments transitioned into its second generation of ownership, we have expanded our footprint to include the diverse industries within the commercial sector, spanning industrial, commercial, and office spaces. We have also embraced multi-family development and property management to cater to the evolving needs of urban living.
Commercial Development
Our expertise extends across a broad spectrum of commercial real estate industries. We excel in both repurposing and revitalizing existing assets and crafting brand new developments that meet the needs of businesses in the community.
Residential Property Management
In the realm of residential property management, we have a unique blend of rehabilitated and upgraded properties alongside brand new developments. Our goal is to create living spaces that are not only comfortable but also inspiring. We understand that homes are not just places to live; they are the foundations of our lives.
Our Commitment
At West Oak Investments, we are purpose led and value driven. Whether we are preserving history, creating new commercial spaces, or designing modern living environments, our commitment remains the same: to make a lasting impact and enhance the communities we serve.
