About The Firms and Key Principal

The Pacific Companies are a group of firms specializing in the development, design, construction, and operation of affordable workforce housing throughout the western United States. With particular emphasis on the use of the affordable housing tax credit as well as federal, state, and local resources including HOME Funds, Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), and redevelopment agency financing, the companies develop and rehabilitate multi-family and senior citizen housing in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

The key principal of The Pacific Companies, Caleb Roope, has proudly managed the development and construction of over 80 projects during the past decade. His experience includes all facets of the real estate development and financing process with special expertise in site acquisition, financing, and feasibility evaluations. Caleb holds the philosophy that the successful development of affordable housing requires the skills and experience of capable and talented people in every sector of the industry – from non-profit organizations and local governments, to private investors and lending institutions. This “partnership approach” has served The Pacific Companies well over the years and is one of the primary reasons that Caleb and his team are able to manage the planning, development, and construction of over 25 projects at any given time.

Project Development, Ownership, and Asset Management

Pacific West Communities, Inc. (PWC) is a real estate and financing firm specializing in the development and ownership of affordable workforce housing throughout the western United States. PWC employs specialty project management staff to coordinate the development activities associated with multi-family properties. The project management team coordinates the work of architects, engineers, infrastructure service providers, and contractors in order to ensure developments promptly complete the entitlement processes in accordance with strict timeframes governed by financing, weather, and local agency requirements. The project management team views the planning and entitlement process as a partnership with local government so that all agency staff and local elected leaders are satisfied with PWC’s residential communities.

The ultimate success of any real estate venture rests not only in its ability to be completed on time and within budget, but also in its long term economic performance and acceptance within a community. PWC employs staff in its asset management division who are exclusively committed to following this principle. Properties are visited on a quarterly basis at a minimum, with significant attention devoted to their outward appearance as well as confirming the development continues to maintain a positive local image. The same level of excellence that influences each property’s physical condition is also applied to those seeking residency. Applicants are evaluated based upon their credit profile, their criminal history, and their previous housing references in an effort to ensure that only truly responsible individuals become members of the community.
