WP Investments' business philosophy requires that the principals of WPI be intensely involved in every phase of the acquisition and development process. From initial land acquisition, through design, entitlement, construction and final occupancy, WPI provides a strong, experienced professional team to manage this process. The resulting attention to detail assures that no aspect of the development and management process will be overlooked. The principals of WPI take tremendous pride in the uninterrupted success of WPI projects, whether owned in venture with third party investors, or by individuals in the firm.

Mr. Isackson was consistently among the firm's top producers on a nationwide basis. Michael Schonenberg joined WPI in 1994. Mr. Schonenberg worked for Investment Building Group for eight years after his graduation from the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 1986.
