Trident Capital Group has expanded its industrial footprint in the Columbus region through a combination of new development and acquisitions totaling approximately 1.94 million square feet of space in its Midwest portfolio. The activity centers on modern logistics and distribution facilities that are either newly completed, under construction, or recently acquired.
The firm recently completed a 191,077-square-foot industrial building that was delivered in 2025. According to Trident, the facility is fully leased to three tenants, reflecting stabilized occupancy shortly after delivery. The project contributes to the company’s broader strategy of growing its industrial holdings in key logistics hubs across the Midwest.
Trident is now advancing the second phase of this development, which is currently under construction and is expected to add another 177,607 square feet of industrial space. Leasing responsibilities for both phases are being handled by a team from CBRE led by Nick Tomasone and Kilar Mariotti. The second phase is positioned as a continuation of the initial project, further increasing Trident’s industrial inventory in the Columbus region.
In addition to the development activity, Trident completed an acquisition in April, purchasing a 308,358-square-foot distribution facility. The property was delivered in 2024 and is 100% leased to Ease Logistics Services under a long-term agreement. The acquisition adds a fully stabilized asset to Trident’s portfolio, with a single logistics tenant occupying the entire building.
Trident is also involved in large-scale speculative development at the Rickenbacker Industrial Center in partnership with O’Connor Capital Partners. One component of this initiative is Rickenbacker Industrial Center III, a 958,740-square-foot speculative industrial project described as a landmark development. This asset is being brought to market without pre-committed tenants, indicating a bet on sustained demand for modern industrial space in the area.
A separate phase of the Rickenbacker Industrial Center, also developed in partnership with O’Connor Capital Partners, comprises 303,670 square feet of industrial space. This building is scheduled to be delivered this month, further expanding the availability of new industrial product in the market. Leasing efforts for the Rickenbacker projects are being handled by JLL, with a team that includes Dan Wendorf, Brian Marsh, and Joe Davis.
Taken together, the completed, under-construction, and recently acquired properties underscore Trident Capital Group’s focus on scaled industrial expansion in the Columbus region. The combination of fully leased assets and speculative projects provides a blend of stabilized income and potential lease-up opportunities as new space comes online.
