What Libitzky Property does

Libitzky Property Companies is a privately held commercial real estate investment and development firm headquartered at 505 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California. Founded as a commercial real estate development company specializing in industrial properties, the firm operates as an integrated owner-developer that builds and reinvests capital from its own equity into value-add commercial assets. Its current portfolio spans approximately 8 million square feet across 33 projects in 10 US states, diversified across industrial, flex, office, life science, and retail asset classes. Notable properties include large-scale industrial facilities such as the Gateway Global complex in Byhalia, Mississippi (over 1.9 million square feet combined), Park 130 in Whitestown, Indiana (319,336 sq ft), Modesto Industrial Park (477,002 sq ft), the Stanford Life Science facility in Emeryville, California, and business/corporate centers in Reno, Berkeley, Memphis, and Denver. The firm is led by Chairman Moses Libitzky and President Nathan Petrowsky, each with over 40 years of commercial real estate experience, supported by a small executive team including a CFO, CIO, COO, SVP, VP of Acquisitions, accounting, and administrative staff. The firm uses its own equity rather than third-party capital, pursuing a conservative underwriting strategy focused on preservation of principal, current cash flow yield, and long-term returns, with stated specialization in mixed-use industrial rehabilitation. Revenue is generated through rental income from leased industrial, flex, office, life science, and retail properties — with enterprise tenants including Amazon, DoorDash, Pepsi-Cola, Eli Lilly, Ginkgo Bioworks, Sonoco, Rexel, Form Energy, and Lennox — supplemented by gains from asset disposition and acquisition activity. Leasing and acquisition transactions are negotiated on a per-property basis; no proprietary technology, digital platform, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed, and distribution is conducted through direct enterprise relationships and the company website.
