Oakmont Industrial Group

What Oakmont Industrial Group does

Oakmont Industrial Group is a privately held, fully integrated industrial real estate investment, development, and management firm founded in 1996 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The company acquires, develops, and leases Class A warehouse and distribution facilities in supply-constrained U.S. logistics submarkets, with current offices in Atlanta (GA), Houston (TX), Los Angeles (CA), and Cranbury (NJ). It has developed and acquired 53 industrial buildings totaling 12.5 million square feet across Georgia, Florida, DC/Maryland, Texas, and California, and manages more than 8 million square feet of additional product for third-party institutional clients. Its core product is mid-bulk to large-bulk distribution buildings (100,000 to over 600,000 SF) equipped with modern specifications — Ductilcrete floor systems, ESFR sprinkler systems, 28'–36' clear heights, cross-dock and rear-load configurations, full concrete truck courts with trailer storage, and LEED-eligible sustainable construction.

The firm operates through an entity-level investment partnership with The Carlyle Group established in 2011, providing institutional capital for acquisitions and development, while founders Richard Rider (President) and Stephen Nelsen (Executive Vice President) retain managing-partner roles. The team has direct lineage to ProLogis, JMB Institutional Realty, Panattoni, and Goldman-affiliate Whitehall Industrial Properties, supporting both investment underwriting and a third-party property management and financial reporting capability marketed to institutional owners. Oakmont's go-to-market is a relationship-driven, direct leasing and capital-raise model targeting enterprise corporate tenants (logistics, retail, manufacturing, and consumer products) and institutional real estate investors; pricing and lease terms are negotiated case-by-case and not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• ProLogis: ProLogis is the largest publicly traded industrial REIT globally, focused on logistics and distribution real estate. It is a direct peer to Oakmont, with several Oakmont executives (Rider, Nachamkin) coming from ProLogis/Security Capital. Both target modern, high-clear-height warehouse/distribution product in major logistics markets.
• Duke Realty (now part of ProLogis): Duke Realty was a top-tier U.S. industrial REIT specializing in bulk distribution before being acquired by ProLogis in 2022. It was a direct peer in terms of building class (modern bulk distribution), geographic overlap (Sun Belt and Midwest logistics hubs), and tenant profile (large corporate distribution users).
• EastGroup Properties: EastGroup is a publicly traded industrial REIT focused on multi-tenant and build-to-suit distribution facilities in Sun Belt markets, with similar building specifications (ESFR, high clear heights) and direct overlap with Oakmont's geographic focus in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Florida, and Southern California.
• First Industrial Realty Trust: First Industrial is a publicly traded REIT focused on Class A bulk and light industrial distribution properties across major U.S. logistics markets. It competes directly with Oakmont for tenants, land sites, and institutional capital, with overlapping presence in Texas, Southern California, the Northeast, and the Mid-Atlantic/Southeast.
• Terreno Realty Corporation: Terreno Realty is a publicly traded industrial REIT owning infill warehouse/distribution properties in six major U.S. coastal markets including Los Angeles/Inland Empire, Northern New Jersey, Seattle, San Francisco, Miami, and Washington D.C./Baltimore — markets that overlap directly with Oakmont's port-market expertise.
• Rexford Industrial Realty: Rexford is a publicly traded industrial REIT focused exclusively on Southern California's infill warehouse/distribution market. It is a direct competitor in Oakmont's El Segundo / Inland Empire / San Gabriel Valley submarkets, with similar Class A product targeting corporate distribution tenants.
• Panattoni Development Company: Panattoni is one of the largest privately held industrial real estate developers in the U.S., active in California, the Sun Belt, and other major markets. Oakmont's California VP Michael Johnson previously developed 5.7M SF at Panattoni, and the two firms compete for similar build-to-suit and speculative industrial deals in the same geographies.
• Hillwood Industrial: Hillwood (the Perot family's real estate arm) is a major privately held industrial developer with a national platform focused on Class A bulk distribution and logistics facilities. It competes with Oakmont for institutional capital partners, corporate build-to-suit mandates, and land in high-growth U.S. logistics submarkets.
• STAG Industrial: STAG Industrial is a publicly traded REIT focused on single-tenant industrial properties across the U.S. While STAG skews toward smaller and middle-market industrial assets, it overlaps with Oakmont on tenant profile, leasing approach, and Sun Belt / coastal geographic focus.

Emerging players

• Lovett Industrial: Lovett Industrial is a privately held industrial developer active in Texas and the Western U.S. It is an emerging peer to Oakmont with similar modern Class A bulk-distribution product and a focus on Sun Belt markets; Oakmont's recently hired SVP Ted Hart previously served as Senior Managing Director at Lovett Industrial.
