The company specializes in infill locations that support light industrial, warehouse and distribution uses, catering to businesses engaged in manufacturing, e-commerce and logistics. By concentrating on smaller, high-barrier-to-entry markets, Rexford Industrial Realty aims to deliver tailored facilities that address the growing demand for last-mile distribution space.
Through its vertically integrated platform, the company offers comprehensive property management, leasing and development services. Rexford Industrial Realty identifies value-add opportunities, executes strategic expansions and renovates existing assets to meet the evolving needs of tenants. Its customer base includes third-party logistics providers, retailers and service-oriented businesses that rely on efficient supply chain solutions and proximity to major transportation corridors.
Rexford Industrial Realty’s portfolio is concentrated in key submarkets across the Greater Los Angeles region, the Inland Empire, Orange County and the Central Coast.
