What Equity Industrial Partners does

Equity Industrial Partners (EIP) is a privately-held, fully-integrated industrial real estate company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts. The firm acquires, develops, repositions, owns, and manages industrial properties — warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities — across 24 U.S. states, with a current portfolio of 115 properties aggregating approximately 24.2 million square feet and $3 billion in net asset value, and lifetime acquisitions and developments exceeding 100 million square feet.

EIP operates an integrated service platform covering financing, leasing, construction management, property and asset management, and (through its New England Facilities Solutions subsidiary) third-party facilities management. Tenants range from mid-market private companies to major publicly-traded enterprises including Amazon, Coca-Cola, Home Depot, TJX, Staples, HEB, Cole Haan, L3, Cognex, and RoadOne IntermodalLogistics, served via in-house leasing teams, direct principal relationships, and selective third-party brokerage. The firm also manages approximately 1.2 million square feet on behalf of third-party owners and executes build-to-suit projects such as the 384,800 SF RoadOne facility in Summerville, SC and the 255,000 SF REGENT seaglider manufacturing plant in Rhode Island.

EIP's capital structure rests on joint venture partnerships with institutional sponsors including Angelo Gordon and Raith Capital Partners, supplemented by sale-leaseback and value-add acquisitions (e.g., the 95-acre Kelly Branch Tract, Pinder Road, the Toys R Us portfolio assets). Revenue is generated from rental income on owned assets, property and facilities management fees, leasing commissions, and development economics, with pricing negotiated transaction-by-transaction on multi-year lease terms; no revenue is publicly disclosed. The firm is led by CEO Bruce Levine (joined 2007, ex-CBRE) and CFO Ami Fatula (joined 2024), with co-founders Lewis Heafitz and Donald Levine remaining active as principals.

Direct peers

• Bridge Industrial: Privately-held industrial real estate operator focused on developing and acquiring Class A industrial properties in core U.S. logistics markets. Highly comparable to EIP as a private developer/owner with institutional capital partnerships and a build-to-suit focus.
• STAG Industrial: Publicly-traded industrial REIT focused on single-tenant industrial properties across the U.S. Directly comparable to EIP's multi-tenant industrial ownership and leasing model, with overlap on tenant profiles like distribution and light manufacturing.
• EastGroup Properties: Publicly-traded industrial REIT focused on Sun Belt distribution and light industrial properties. Comparable to EIP in target tenant base and industrial focus, with particular overlap on EIP's southeastern expansion strategy.
• First Industrial Realty Trust: Publicly-traded industrial REIT focused on owning, operating, and developing industrial properties across major U.S. markets. Closely comparable to EIP in business model — industrial ownership, development, and leasing — though more geographically diversified and publicly funded.
• Rexford Industrial Realty: Publicly-traded industrial REIT focused on Southern California infill industrial properties, with value-add repositioning and development capabilities. Comparable to EIP's value-add acquisition strategy and integrated development platform.
• Terreno Realty: Publicly-traded industrial REIT acquiring, developing, and operating industrial real estate in six major U.S. coastal markets. Closely aligned with EIP's coastal industrial strategy and build-to-suit capabilities, albeit at a smaller and more geographically concentrated scale.
• Crow Holdings Industrial: Privately-held industrial real estate investment and development firm with a national portfolio. Comparable to EIP in private developer/operator model, capital partner relationships, and build-to-suit development capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Prologis: The largest publicly-traded industrial REIT globally, with over 1B SF of logistics and distribution space across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Directly comparable to EIP as an industrial property owner/operator, but at massively greater scale and with a public-market capital structure.
• CBRE Investment Management (Industrial): Global real estate investment management arm of CBRE, with significant industrial property funds. EIP leadership's heavy CBRE alumni network (Bruce Levine, Hunter Emerson, Mark Reardon, Gerald Lavalle) makes CBRE a comparable institutional competitor and a potential capital source for EIP.

Emerging players

• Dalfen Industrial: Privately-held industrial real estate investment firm focused on last-mile distribution and infill industrial assets. Comparable to EIP in scale and private ownership model, with overlap on distribution-focused industrial strategy.
