IDI Logistics

What IDI Logistics does

IDI Logistics, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Atlanta, is a privately-held investor, developer, and manager of Class A logistics real estate operating across the United States. Its fully-integrated platform encompasses five core capabilities: speculative development (warehouse/distribution facilities built to market specifications), build-to-suit development (custom facilities for named tenants), value-add acquisitions, asset management, and land acquisition and entitlement. The company manages approximately 50 million square feet of assets under management, has developed or acquired 226 million square feet cumulatively, and holds 18 million square feet of developable land in its pipeline, with operations organized through seven regional market offices spanning major U.S. industrial distribution corridors (Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Los Angeles, Memphis, New Jersey).

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: industrial real estate leasing (rental income from owned and managed Class A facilities), property development and sales (gains on completed developments within the 50 MSF portfolio), and build-to-suit development fees combined with long-term lease income from customized facilities. The customer base spans third-party logistics providers (e.g., Commonwealth Inc., Motivational Fulfillment & Logistics Services), major retailers including a top home improvement retailer (pass-to-pass at Passaic Logistics Center), e-commerce distributors, and manufacturers — addressed through direct field sales supported by broker partnerships with CBRE, Newmark, Colliers, and Lee & Associates. Pricing is quote-based on location, size, lease term, and specifications, with no publicly disclosed rate card.

The company's technical differentiation centers on sustainability: a stated commitment to 100% LEED certification across new construction, nine active on-site solar PV systems totaling 6.8 MW of installed DC capacity producing approximately 10,700 MWh annually, and embodied carbon reduction practices using Environmental Product Declarations and low-carbon materials. The financial sponsor base is anchored by a 2019 50-50 joint venture between La Caisse (formerly CDPQ) and Oxford Properties. Leadership is headed by CEO Mark Saturno (since 2016, 35+ years in real estate, CFO Shawn Warren (EVP/CFO, joined via Verde Realty merger in 2013, Deloitte alumnus), and Chief Strategy Officer/East Region EVP Matt Breaux.

Broad incumbents

• Prologis: World's largest industrial REIT with over 1B SF of logistics real estate across the U.S. and globally. Directly comparable asset class (warehouse/distribution), but operates at vastly greater scale and with broader geographic reach than IDI.

Direct peers

• First Industrial Realty Trust: U.S. industrial REIT focused on Class A warehouse and distribution facilities in key logistics markets. Closely aligned with IDI in target markets, product spec, and customer base (3PLs, retailers, manufacturers).
• EastGroup Properties: Industrial REIT focused on Class A multi-tenant distribution and light industrial properties in Sunbelt and high-growth U.S. markets. Highly comparable business model and tenant base to IDI's 3PL/retail orientation.
• Terreno Realty Corporation: Industrial REIT focused on infill warehouse/distribution properties in major U.S. coastal markets including LA, NJ, San Francisco, and Seattle — directly overlapping IDI's infill last-mile strategy.
• STAG Industrial: Industrial REIT that owns and operates a large portfolio of Class A single-tenant warehouse and distribution facilities across the U.S., with similar tenant mix and asset-class focus as IDI.
• Rexford Industrial Realty: Industrial REIT focused exclusively on Southern California's infill warehouse/distribution market, overlapping significantly with IDI's West Region operations and infill investment thesis.
• Crow Holdings Industrial: U.S. industrial real estate developer and investor with build-to-suit and speculative capabilities. Multiple IDI team members (e.g., Nick Pellico, Charlie McPhee) previously held senior roles there, making it a very close comparable.
• Hillwood Investment Properties: Industrial real estate developer and investor backed by the Perot family, focused on industrial/logistics development across U.S. markets with very similar product type and customer base to IDI.
• Clarion Partners: Large institutional real estate investment manager with significant industrial/logistics exposure and development platforms. Comparable institutional capital model and operating partnership structure for industrial assets.

Emerging players

• Bridge Industrial: U.S. industrial real estate developer backed by global institutional capital, focused on Class A logistics development in major U.S. distribution markets — closely comparable build-to-suit and speculative platform to IDI, though at a smaller scale.
