Velocity Venture Partners

What Velocity Venture Partners does

Velocity Venture Partners LLC is a fully integrated industrial real estate developer and asset manager operating exclusively in the Greater Northeast region of the United States, with headquarters in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2017 by Zach Moore and Tony Grelli shortly after their graduation from Drexel University, the firm focuses on acquiring, developing, and managing industrial warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing facilities, as well as executing office, retail, and lab-to-industrial conversion projects located near densely populated suburban corridors and major transportation arteries. The firm currently owns and manages over 8 million square feet of industrial space across 100+ properties and 350+ tenants, with the portfolio approaching 10 million square feet per recent press coverage. Velocity is differentiated from competitors by being a vertically integrated platform with internal teams spanning acquisitions, capital markets, leasing, construction, property management, accounting, and legal functions, supported by an established network of debt and equity capital relationships that enables 24-hour deal feedback and rapid execution.

The firm's business model is anchored on multi-year industrial lease revenue, supplemented by internal construction and tenant fit-out services and capital markets activities including acquisitions, refinancings, and dispositions. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated by square footage, property condition, location, and lease term, with no public pricing disclosure. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise leasing, broker relationships, and earned media in regional commercial realestate outlets. Notable recent transactions include a $32 million acquisition in Pennsauken, NJ (98% occupied post-conversion, anchored by a 10-year 155,000 sq ft Ambiont Biopallets lease), a 470,000 sq ft Philadelphia manufacturing complex, a $31 million Montgomery County industrial property, and the firm's first Delaware acquisition (former WilmU Graduate Center for office-to-industrial conversion). The firm has demonstrated disciplined capital recycling with a 48% three-year gain on a Montgomery County portfolio disposition and a 41% two-year gain on a Delco warehouse. Velocity is privately held by its founding partners with no disclosed institutional or PE backing, led by a 40+ person executive and vertical team including CFO Bill Redican and SVP of Asset Management Mike Mortimer.

Broad incumbents

• EastGroup Properties: Public industrial REIT focused on Class A last-mile distribution facilities in Sun Belt markets; provides a comparable institutional asset-management benchmark for Velocity's infill industrial strategy.
• STAG Industrial: Public industrial REIT that acquires and operates single-tenant and multi-tenant industrial properties across the U.S., relevant as a benchmark for Velocity's multi-tenant leasing and small-bay strategy.
• Terreno Realty Corporation: Public industrial REIT focused on infill last-mile distribution properties in supply-constrained U.S. coastal markets — a strategy directly aligned with Velocity's Northeast urban-industrial focus.
• Prologis: Global industrial REIT and the dominant institutional owner/operator of logistics real estate; relevant as the upper-bound benchmark for scale, capital access, and tenant relationships in Velocity's category.
• First Industrial Realty Trust: Public industrial REIT that acquires, develops, and manages industrial properties across the U.S., providing a relevant institutional benchmark for Velocity's operating model.

Direct peers

• Bridge Industrial: Private, vertically integrated industrial real estate developer with a similar focus on supply-constrained U.S. logistics markets and a comparable deal size profile to Velocity, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Industrial Realty Group: National industrial real estate developer and operator that owns, develops, and manages industrial facilities across multiple U.S. markets with a vertically integrated platform analogous to Velocity's model.
• Crow Holdings Industrial: Large-scale industrial developer and investor operating across major U.S. distribution markets, with a similar acquisition, development, and asset management model, though at materially larger scale than Velocity.

Regional players

• Brandywine Realty Trust: Philadelphia-headquartered public REIT operating primarily office and mixed-use properties in the same Greater Northeast geography as Velocity; relevant for regional market context but with different asset class mix.
• Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation: Former New Jersey-based public industrial REIT focused on single-tenant net-leased industrial assets in the Northeast corridor (now part of Industrial Logistics Properties Trust); directly comparable by geography and asset type to Velocity's NJ/PA industrial focus.
