Capital Backed. Opportunity Focused.

Institutional Capital Performance

Our investment strategy is built on a foundation of strong, reliable capital partnerships. We work with a diverse network of institutional investors, private equity firms, and long-term capital providers who share our vision for sustainable growth and operational excellence in industrial real estate.

“Our long-standing relationships with capital partners—including decades-long partnerships with top-tier institutions—have enabled us to execute with speed, certainty, and scale across the country.”

— Ben Paolone, EVP – Capital Markets & Investments

Our ability to source and deploy capital efficiently allows us to act decisively in competitive markets—acquiring, developing, and managing assets that meet the evolving needs of advanced manufacturing, logistics, and distribution users. This financial strength enables us to deliver speed, certainty, and scale across our portfolio. To add relationship value, we also specialize in asset management with a proactive practice focused on preserving and growing asset value over time. We take a strategic approach across operations, leasing, capital improvements, and financial performance—ensuring each property is positioned for long-term success.

Capital Strategy

At Becknell Industrial, our capital strategy is built on discipline, flexibility, and long-term alignment. 

Our company investment strategy spans core, secondary, and tertiary markets, allowing us to follow our clients wherever their operations demand. This flexibility ensures we deliver the right facility in the right location, aligned with each client’s long-term growth and supply chain needs.

Co-investment Model

We believe in true alignment with our capital partners. That’s why we invest alongside them—placing seed funds and long-term capital into every development we undertake. This co-investment model reflects our confidence in the assets we build and manage, and ensures we share both the risks and the rewards with our investors.

Flexible Hold strategy

We prefer to hold assets that deliver for our tenants and investors. However, we also maintain a flexible approach—strategically culling properties when it aligns with investor objectives or portfolio optimization goals. This balance allows us to remain agile in a dynamic market while continuing to build lasting partnerships and deliver consistent performance across our portfolio.

Prudent Balance Sheet Management

We finance our projects with ready-to-deploy capital along with private equity contributions. Our capital structure is designed to support long-term ownership and operational excellence, while remaining flexible enough to adapt to investor goals and market dynamics.

Industrial Strength. Institutional Access.

Our investment history stretches back to the early 90’s when Becknell was founded as build-to-suit partner for an international food & beverage manufacturer in Chicago. Since then, we’ve been steadily building a legacy of investment partnerships with capital partners who understand the value that industrial property investments add to a portfolio. Our diversified partnerships with capital partners continue to shape our future, and could impact your financial future too.

We’re now opening the door to a broader investor base with the launch of our first retail investment fund.
