Seyon Group

What Seyon Group does

Seyon Group is a Boston-based boutique industrial real estate investment firm founded in January 2017 by Bryan Blake and Andrew Iglowski, both former Calare Properties executives. The firm targets institutional-quality investments in infill industrial real estate across supply-constrained Northeast and Southeast U.S. markets, executing two core strategies: micro-market aggregation of smaller well-located buildings and repositioning of undervalued warehouse assets. Its portfolio spans 40+ properties, over 5.5 million square feet, and more than $800 million in aggregate value across markets including Greater Boston, Greater Philadelphia, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and the Washington, D.C. metro area.

The firm operates two principal business lines. The first is the Seyon Industrial Fund, LLC, a closed-end fund co-managed with Kipling Capital that acquires industrial assets in greater Boston and greater Philadelphia for operating cash flow and long-term capital appreciation; co-investment partnerships with Berkeley Partners, Wheelock Street Capital, BentallGreenOak, and life insurance companies extend deal-by-deal buying power. The second is Seyon Management, LLC (formed February 2020 as a wholly owned services platform), which delivers accounting, property management, construction management, asset management, and corporate advisory services to both Seyon's portfolio and third-party owners, with a Southeast Regional Office in Miami overseeing 4.5 million square feet of Class A industrial properties.

Seyon monetizes primarily through asset ownership returns, management fees on fund and co-invest vehicles, transaction-related fees, and third-party property services revenue. Its vertically integrated operating platform — combining in-house acquisition, asset management, construction management, and a dedicated Head of Data & Analytics function — is designed to extract value from imperfect physical assets in ideal infill locations serving logistics, manufacturing, and research contracting tenants.

Direct peers

• STAG Industrial: Public REIT focused on single-tenant and small-bay industrial properties across the US. Seyon's data and acquisitions team has hired multiple former STAG executives, and the business model of aggregating light industrial in infill markets is highly comparable.
• EastGroup Properties: Public REIT focused on industrial park properties in Sunbelt markets with a similar thesis of last-mile distribution in supply-constrained submarkets. Comparable scale and tenant base to Seyon's infill industrial strategy.
• Wheelock Street Capital: Private real estate investment firm and repeat JV partner with Seyon on Massachusetts and New Jersey industrial acquisitions. Comparable boutique industrial investment strategy and capital deployment cadence.
• Rexford Industrial Realty: Public REIT focused on industrial properties in Southern California's infill markets, employing a micro-market aggregation thesis that is highly analogous to Seyon's Northeast and Southeast strategy.
• First Industrial Realty Trust: Public industrial REIT with a diversified portfolio of light industrial and bulk distribution properties across the US. Directly comparable in property type and tenant base, though at significantly larger scale.
• Terreno Realty: Public REIT acquiring, owning, and operating industrial real estate in six major coastal US markets. Closely comparable infill industrial strategy and micro-market aggregation approach to Seyon's playbook.
• Calare Properties: Boston-based private real estate investment firm where Seyon's co-founders Bryan Blake and Andrew Iglowski previously held senior roles. Directly comparable boutique industrial investment platform in the same Northeast geography.
• Berkeley Partners: Private real estate investment firm that has been a repeat JV partner with Seyon on Pennsylvania and Massachusetts industrial acquisitions. Directly comparable boutique industrial investment platform in the Northeast.

Broad incumbents

• Prologis: Largest global industrial REIT, encompassing logistics real estate across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Overlaps with Seyon's industrial focus but at vastly larger scale and broader geography, including a meaningful small-bay segment.

Others

• JLL Capital Markets: Global real estate investment services firm that has brokered multiple Seyon acquisitions (e.g., North Andover portfolio for $12.5M). Comparable as a real estate capital markets intermediary servicing the same institutional investor base.
