What Industrial Realty Group does

Industrial Realty Group, LLC (IRG) is a privately held, nationwide real estate acquisition, development, and management firm headquartered in Los Angeles, with a portfolio in excess of 100 million square feet across more than 150 major projects in 31 states and over 2,000 tenants. The firm's core competency is adaptive reuse: it acquires obsolete industrial buildings, corporate campuses, brownfields, NPL Superfund Sites, and closed federal installations (closed military bases, a former NASA manufacturing facility, and a closed Veterans Affairs complex) and repositions them through highly-engineered environmental remediation, master planning (campuses of 50-3,000 acres; buildings of 5,000-4 million sq ft), and tenant assembly. Representative tenant work spans Fortune 100 industrial users (Hyundai Translead 1.38M sq ft in Joliet; Schlumberger ~1M sq ft in Shreveport; Amazon at Woodbridge Corporate Park; Pfizer at Hudson Valley iCampus; Northrop Grumman; Panasonic; Western Digital; SANY; Fuyao; Goodyear legacy) alongside mid-market and government tenants, delivered through direct enterprise leasing plus a JV/channel layer with PREP Funds, DWREP, Spectra, ARCO, Belzberg, and municipal/port authorities (Lorain County Port Authority, Port of Oakland, Atlantic City Airport). Revenue mechanics are a blend of recurring long-term industrial lease rent (across distribution, manufacturing, logistics, 3PL, cold storage, and flex space), transactional acquisition/development gains, and managed-services fees from IRG Realty Advisors (the in-house property management arm that has actively managed 115+ million sq ft and completed 1,000+ transactions valued at over $1B). In May 2026 IRG announced a definitive contribution agreement with Sachem Capital Corp. to form IRG Realty Trust (IRGT), a top-10 publicly listed industrial REIT with an implied enterprise value of approximately $3.4 billion and 98 contributed industrial properties (~$2.9B gross asset value), pending shareholder approval and targeted to close by end of 2026. The firm is founder-led (Stuart Lichter, President/Founder/Chairman) with a recently expanded C-suite (Greg Hipp as COO; Justin Lichter as CIO; Richard H. Klein as CFO), and is supported by public-private partnerships, C-PACE and ground-lease financing, and a national office footprint spanning Sacramento, Chicago, Akron, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, New York, Dallas-Fort Worth, Bradenton, and Baltimore.

Revenue model

1. Industrial leasing rent: Long-term rental income from leasing ~100+ million sq ft of industrial, warehouse, manufacturing, office, retail, cold-storage and flex space to more than 2,000 tenants (Fortune 100, mid-market, SMB, and government). Recurring base rent with mark-to-market rent growth on renewal.
2. Acquisition, development and sale of real estate assets: Capital deployment into acquisition, ground-up development, and adaptive-reuse redevelopment of industrial/commercial properties, with periodic monetization via sales (e.g., Midway Mall purchase from Lorain County Port Authority; former Caterpillar, Teledyne, IBM Rochester, Pfizer, Spiegel, GM, Ford, Maytag, Northrop Grumman, Levi's, NASA and United Technologies sites acquired and redeveloped). One-time transactional revenue.
3. Property management and advisory fees (IRG Realty Advisors): Fees from active property/asset management, leasing and construction/project management services delivered by IRG Realty Advisors (offices in New York and Ohio). Personnel have managed 115+ million sq ft, completed 1,000+ commercial transactions valued at $1B+, and served as Construction/Project Managers on $500M+ of projects.
4. Public-private partnership and incentive-driven project economics: Revenue and value capture from public-private partnerships — including C-PACE financing (Peachtree Group $70M), ground leases (Blue Owl Capital $65M), state brownfield grants ($2M CT, $6.1M Port of Nevada, $2M New Britain) — that fund infrastructure and remediation tied to long-term lease and tax economics.
5. Public REIT ownership economics via IRG Realty Trust: Post-close ownership of operating partnership units representing 94.1% of IRG Realty Trust (formed via definitive contribution agreement with Sachem Capital Corp), an enterprise with ~$3.4B EV holding 98 industrial properties and ~$2.9B gross asset value — converting industrial real estate cash flow into publicly-listed REIT distributions and capital-markets proceeds.
