In the heart of Canada’s bustling real estate landscape, Westcliff AM(Asset Management) emerged in 2023, born from the shared vision and seasoned camaraderie of Addy Saeed and Kaz Jaffer. Their journey began on the collaborative floors of a prestigious real estate investment firm, managing assets over CAD 1 billion, where they honed their expertise and fueled their passion for real estate investment. Within these walls, they discovered a synergy in their skills and a shared dream to innovate in real estate asset management.
The story of Westcliff is deeply rooted in the humble beginnings of its founders, who both grew up in the modest neighbourhood of Jane and Finch in Toronto. Kaz’s academic path started at Topcliff Public School, while Addy’s educational journey in Canada began at Westview Centennial Secondary. These institutions not only provided them with a foundation of knowledge but also instilled in them a relentless drive for success. When the time came to christen their venture, they sought a name to encapsulate their journey and aspirations. Thus, ‘Westcliff’ was born, a fusion of their academic beginnings and a testament to their enduring commitment to growth and learning.
Westcliff Asset Management stands as a beacon of progress, embodying the relentless spirit of its founders. Kaz, a trailblazer in his family, ventured into post-secondary education, breaking new ground and setting a precedent for future generations. Addy, drawing inspiration from his lineage of hardworking, blue-collar workers in the oil industries of Iran and Kuwait, brought a legacy of perseverance and resilience. Together, they have woven these diverse threads of their heritage into the fabric of Westcliff, creating a company as dynamic and multifaceted as their backgrounds.
