Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Oak Brook Terrace, Illinois, TradeLane Properties is a privately held industrial real estate investment firm focused on acquiring, developing, redeveloping, and operating logistics-oriented industrial assets across the Central and Southeastern United States. The company was established by a team with over 75 years of combined experience, including leadership roles at two publicly traded industrial REITs. TradeLane leverages this institutional expertise to execute a value-add investment strategy through vertically integrated operations, including in-house property management, construction, leasing, and finance. TradeLane’s investment strategy centers on infill submarkets with strong transportation infrastructure and tenant demand. Its portfolio spans key logistics hubs such as Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, Louisville, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. The firm’s asset class focus is exclusively industrial, including light industrial, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. As of Q3 2025, TradeLane has acquired, developed, or redeveloped over 110 properties totaling more than $1.3 billion in market value. The company’s geographic exposure is heavily concentrated in the Midwest, with Chicago representing its largest market. For example, a recent 13-asset portfolio refinancing included 12 properties in Chicago and one in Cincinnati.
