WS Development
WS Development is a Chestnut Hill-based property developer dedicated to the creation of places where people want to be. With more than 20 million square feet of existing space and an additional four million under development, we are one of the largest privately-owned retail development firms in the country. In business since 1981, we develop, own, manage, and lease over 88 properties, including urban buildings, lifestyle centers, power centers, community centers, and mixed-use developments. These projects come to life thanks to the teams that make up our vertically-integrated company: in-house construction, operations, architecture, design, leasing, permitting, finance, marketing, and accounting.
