The fund builds on the firm’s 35-year history of investing in institutional quality industrial assets that generate income for the long term
Clay Thelen – CFO
CHICAGO, Feb. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Becknell Industrial, a vertically integrated real estate investment company specializing in the acquisition, development, management and disposition of industrial properties, has launched a private, perpetual life industrial income REIT: Becknell Industrial Income Trust, Inc. or (“BIIT”)1. The Becknell team believes the decline in new construction in the industrial real estate sector combined with increases in demand driven by e-commerce sales growth and the re-shoring of manufacturing activity to the United States provide an attractive entry point for investors.
“We intend to own and actively manage a diversified portfolio of stable, income-producing industrial assets in mission-critical locations for high-quality tenants throughout the United States,” said Clay Thelen, Chief Financial Officer at Becknell Industrial. “This fund provides accredited investors the opportunity to participate in the industrial real estate sector through a professionally managed, income-focused vehicle with a team that has been exclusively focused on industrial real estate for over 35 years.”
The fund will have access to Becknell’s existing portfolio of wholly owned industrial properties that are fully aligned with the fund’s objectives. Additional acquisitions will be sourced largely from Becknell’s existing build-to-suit development pipeline and stabilized development projects. Tenants will include leading companies with strong credit profiles and long-term leases, primarily in the distribution and light manufacturing sectors.
