**Bozzuto and Kimco Break Ground on The Chester at Westlake, Daly City’s First Major Market-Rate Rental Development in Over 15 Years**
Bozzuto and Kimco Realty have officially commenced construction on The Chester at Westlake, a major new mixed-use development set to reshape the urban landscape of Daly City. Marking the city’s first predominantly market-rate apartment community in over 15 years, the project is scheduled to open in the winter of 2027.
The Chester will rise at 99 Southgate Avenue and will offer 214 residential units. It will also feature over 13,000 square feet of premium amenities and close to 10,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The development is part of the historic Westlake Shopping Center, one of the country’s earliest planned shopping centers, which has been owned and operated by Kimco since 2002. Bozzuto will take the lead role in development.
“The Westlake area has long been a central part of the Daly City community,” said Kimco CEO Conor Flynn. “The Chester represents the next chapter of its legacy. It’s especially meaningful to me, as Daly City is where I began my career with Kimco. This project brings things full circle both personally and professionally.”
The Chester marks the second joint-venture collaboration between Bozzuto and Kimco Realty, following the successful launch of Coulter Place on Philadelphia’s Main Line.
For those interested in the forces shaping multifamily development—from capital markets and financing, to property management and innovation—industry leaders are invited to attend Connect Apartments on September 11 in Los Angeles. The event will bring together experts to discuss affordability, investment trends, and the evolving dynamics of today’s apartment sector.
