Open Industrial
Overview
Open Industrial is a privately held real estate investment firm specializing in industrial outdoor storage (IOS) properties, a niche subset of industrial assets that play a mission-critical role in servicing the larger industrial sector. The firm focuses on acquiring small- to mid-scale IOS assets, typically ranging from 2 to 20 acres, in infill and secondary industrial submarkets with strong transportation access. These properties are typically leased to single tenants whose operations rely heavily on outdoor yard functionality, resulting in durable occupancy and operational stickiness. The firm's investment strategy centers on acquiring IOS properties that are well-located heavy industrial land allowing outdoor storage by right. Sites are typically graded and paved with low lot coverage and limited turns to highways. Open Industrial emphasizes off-market sourcing that identifies zoned industrial parcels and tracks acquisition opportunities nationwide. The firm leverages a proprietary technology platform to streamline its approach to off-market deal flow and due diligence. Open Industrial's leadership team comprises individuals with extensive experience in real estate acquisitions, dispositions, financing, leasing, and asset/property management. The team includes Michael Rabin (Chief Executive Officer), Blake Potolicchio (Co-Chief Investment Officer), Jared Okun (Co-Chief Investment Officer), and Guggan Datta (Chief Operating Officer). The firm is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, and has been operational since 2020.
