Phil Copulsky: Real Estate Vision Backed by Financial Precision

In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, Bruce welcomes Phil Copulsky, a Manhattan native whose career path has taken him from Goldman Sachs to Russell Investments and now into the world of commercial real estate at Westmount Realty Capital in Dallas.

Phil shares how his financial background and MBA experience helped him transition into real estate, why he focuses on family office investors, and how Westmount’s unique deal structure provides flexibility and control that traditional REITs and funds often lack.

You’ll hear insights on:

• The difference between syndication and REIT investing

• Why family offices value deal-by-deal discretion

• How Westmount navigates industrial and multifamily markets

• Why Midwest properties offer strong risk-adjusted returns

• The challenges and opportunities in today’s pricing environment

• What distressed multifamily assets might mean for investors in the coming years
