Cliff Booth, president of Westmount Realty Capital, LLC., is the chief executive responsible for identifying prospective acquisitions, supervising corporate and marketing functions, raising capital and directing company strategies.

A native of Montreal, Canada, Mr. Booth obtained a B.A. Honors in Political Science from McGill University in Montreal and a M.Sc. in Economics from The London School of Economics. Mr. Booth moved to Dallas in 1979 and has been active in the commercial real estate business in the United States since 1979.

Mr. Booth has been an innovator in the real estate industry for many years and is recognized as a leading-edge investor. Among his many notable achievements, he was one of the first commercial real estate professionals to assemble a significant portfolio of flex properties in the United States. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he led a group that assembled close to 10,000,000 square feet of properties across the U.S. In addition, Mr. Booth was at the forefront of bringing in high-net-worth foreign investors from Canada and Europe to real estate transactions in the United States at a time when there was very little capital available. He and his investors bought distressed properties from the Resolution Trust Corporation and other failed institutions.

Recently, Cliff Booth has led Westmount Realty Capital to invest in multiple office, warehouse and retail projects as well as launching a land development company, a lending platform and a significant medical campus in Dallas, Texas.

Mr. Booth is also known as one of the first investors in downtown Dallas in recent years, acquiring and developing the Santa Fe Terminal Lofts initially as a residential rental property, then as SoCo Lofts, the largest condominium conversion to date in downtown Dallas. Additionally, Mr. Booth was among a number of people who helped put together the Intown Housing Program which has spurred the housing activity that has occurred in downtown Dallas. Cliff Booth himself was one of the first residents in downtown Dallas during the resurgence that began in the mid 1990s. He also led the redevelopment of the well-known Bronco Bowl site, which has resulted in significant additional redevelopment in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas.

Mr. Booth has been involved with many civic and charitable organizations including the Greater Dallas Chamber, Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, Vogel Alcove, Dallas Citizens Council and the Sammons Center for the Arts. He is currently a member of Dallas Assembly, DowntownDallas!, and is an Urban Land Institute Governor and Council Member.
