Trident Capital Group

What Trident Capital Group does

Trident Capital Group is a Boston-based private real estate investment firm, founded in 2008 by David Pizzotti and Peter Walter, that focuses exclusively on the acquisition, development, and management of industrial properties across the Midwest, South, and Southeast United States. The company operates through successive institutional funds — TCG Industrial Fund I and TCG Industrial Fund II (launched March 2026) — investing across opportunistic, value-add, and core-plus strategies in supply-constrained industrial submarkets. Since inception, Trident has completed over $1.5 billion in transactions, acquiring 18 million-plus square feet across 85 buildings in 13 markets, with notable concentrations in Columbus, Detroit, Cleveland, Dallas, Kansas City, and Chicago.

The firm's core offering is a full-service industrial real estate investment platform that combines local market sourcing, conservative underwriting, hands-on property management, and institutional co-investment structures. Revenue is generated via asset management fees, carried interest on fund vehicles, and property-level operating income, with pricing and fund terms not publicly disclosed. Customers are bifurcated: (i) high-net-worth and institutional investors (the LP base, accessed via the JuniperSquare investor portal and direct capital relationships) and (ii) industrial tenants across logistics, manufacturing, automotive (notably Avancez serving Stellantis), distribution, and e-commerce verticals. Trident leverages strategic partnerships with AEW Capital Management, O'Connor Capital Partners, and PCCP for institutional joint ventures, and brokers like JLL and CBRE/IPA for transaction execution, supporting a lean 7-person team with outsized AUM-per-employee economics.
