New Western States Ranks No. 79 Among Utah’s Fastest-Growing Companies

Western States Lodging and Management is honored to be a 2026 Utah 100 winner, ranking No. 79 among Utah’s fastest-growing companies.

Presented by MountainWest Capital Network, the Utah 100 recognizes companies for revenue growth over a five-year period. We’re proud to be included alongside businesses helping shape Utah’s economy, and grateful to the associates, owners and partners who have helped us reach this milestone.

For Western States, this recognition also brings an important question into focus: How do you grow while preserving the qualities that made people trust you in the first place?

Building the Foundation for Growth

For more than 30 years, Western States has developed and managed properties across senior living, hospitality and multifamily housing. Today, our organization manages more than $2.6 billion in assets.

That experience has reinforced our belief that lasting growth requires attention to the details of each property.

A development needs a clear understanding of its market. An operating team needs the resources and leadership to deliver consistent service. Owners need visibility into performance and confidence that decisions reflect their objectives.

As a company expands, those responsibilities grow with it.

Our approach brings together property operations, finance, asset management, sales and marketing, talent and development expertise. Connecting those disciplines helps us evaluate opportunities with a broader view of what a property needs to succeed.

What Growth Should Mean for Owners and Investors

For owners and investors evaluating a real estate management and development partner, a growth milestone is a useful starting point for a deeper conversation.

How does the operator assess a new opportunity? How does it prepare property leaders for greater responsibility? How does it respond when market conditions change?

These are questions we believe deserve attention throughout a partnership.

Our experience navigating changing markets shapes how we approach that responsibility. We consider operating performance alongside service quality, physical property needs and ownership goals. Each informs the decisions that follow.

Growth creates opportunity. Disciplined execution helps turn that opportunity into lasting value.

Keeping Our Personal Touch as We Grow

Western States’ Personal Touch Culture remains central to how we lead, serve and build partnerships.

Our mission of Serving You Like Family comes to life through everyday interactions: an associate supporting a resident, a hotel team welcoming a returning guest, or a property leader working through a challenge with an owner.

We believe those relationships deserve the same care as our development plans and operating budgets. As our organization grows, maintaining that connection is an ongoing leadership responsibility.

Relationships first. Buildings second.

Sharing the Recognition—and Looking Ahead

To our associates: thank you for the care and commitment you bring to your work. To our owners and partners: thank you for the trust you place in Western States. And to MountainWest Capital Network and our fellow Utah 100 honorees: we’re honored to share this recognition.

We’re proud of where Western States stands today and focused on the work ahead: thoughtful development, attentive management and partnerships built to last.
