In 2002, Westbrook has signed an agreement with Gecina, subject to the success of the tender offer ongoing Simco.

In 2003, Westbrook has bought 3500 items from the land Gecina, stating its intention to sell the cut. Westbrook, however, opted for resales block in 2007, to cut short the more stringent provisions of the Aurillac Act of June 2006 [2]. It has sold 400-500 Parisian housing at below-market prices (about 30% [3]), of which about 140 French Union Management (UFG), a subsidiary of Crédit Mutuel Nord Europe [4] [2 ].

She bought the hotel in 2006 at Saint-Lazare SOVAFIM, sparking opposition associations poorly housed. [5]

In 2007 when investors were paying record prices for office buildings in London, Westbrook acquired Shell Mex House, an Art Deco style "office building overlooking the Thames river, for about 490 million pounds ($988 million)." The former headquarters of Shell in London, the building, is, grade II listed building, built in 1930-1931 and designed by Ernest Joseph at number 80, Strand, London.

Its sales practices for cutting are controversial: in 2008 in New York, some residents of buildings belonging to Westbrook spoke of "harassment" [8] [9].

Some observers indicated in 2008, for example it does dramatically increase the price of real estate in the East Village and Lower East Side, Manhattan.
