VLR Capital Partners is a commercial real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition and adaptive repositioning of small and medium bay light industrial assets located in targeted metros within the Western United States.
With a dedicated focus, deep market knowledge, and “boots on the ground” real estate expertise, VLR’s experienced and hands-on management and investment team offer a platform for sophisticated private investors and institutional funds to access a traditionally fragmented asset class, ensuring our investor-partners consistent and proven returns with relatively low risk.
VLR excels in acquiring and enhancing under-managed and under-capitalized, value-add, low-finish, multi-tenant industrial properties. With over three decades of brokerage and investment experience focused in this niche asset, their operator platform boasts in-house capabilities to reposition and convert existing assets, improve property management, drive leasing results, and institutionalize light industrial properties.
VLR is exclusively targeting a roll-up of small and medium bay multi-tenant industrial properties in sought-after in-fill urban locations – an underserved market in the industrial sector with limited new supply and accelerating demand. VLR also aims to disrupt the decentralized, local ownership groups characterized by this asset class.
