Alongside its affiliates, Milwaukee-based Phoenix Investors recorded another record year of growth in 2025.
Phoenix’s portfolio now totals approximately 85 million square feet spanning 27 states. During the year, Phoenix’s affiliates launched a dedicated, full-service infrastructure and AI data center vertical, assembling a specialized team and advancing multiple large-scale deployments nationwide, further diversifying and strengthening its investment platform.
In 2025, Phoenix announced the acquisition of approximately 9 million square feet of core industrial real estate across Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Virginia, Illinois, Arkansas, Michigan, Texas, New York, Ohio, Iowa, and Mississippi, further cementing its position as one of the largest private owners of industrial property in the United States.
Among the most recent closings are industrial assets located in Dubuque, IA; Southaven, MS; and Shelbyville, TN. Each property is slated for first-class renovations, with available space currently being marketed to tenants seeking high-quality industrial facilities in strategic markets.
The property in Dubuque, IA at 2150 Kerper Boulevard features 287,025 square feet of industrial-zoned space, 12 docks, and a rail spur serviced by Canadian Pacific. It’s ideal for heavy manufacturing or distribution and offers extensive car and trailer parking as well as access to a quality blue-collar workforce.
The facility at 8735 Hamilton Road in Southaven, MS offers prospective tenants 238,146 square feet of industrial and office space, also featuring economic incentives for investors. The property is fully fenced, is located adjacent to I-55, and features building signage opportunities. An additional 10 acres of excess land is available for expansion efforts, as well.
The Shelbyville, TN property at 342 Shelbyville Mills Road features 384,000 square feet and recently renovated office space. The property is zoned for heavy industrial, provides ample parking, and is fully fenced and secure with a guard shack.
An array of renovations including but not limited to white-box treatments, lighting upgrades, exterior painting, floor and parking lot resurfacing, and roof work is slated for each of these properties.
In addition to Phoenix’s expanding industrial portfolio, 2025 marked the official launch of a new infrastructure & data center-centric vertical within the company. Phoenix has combined a group of its seasoned personnel with a top-tier team of industry professionals dedicated to the development and acquisition of infrastructure and AI data center campuses, positioning the platform for significant near- and long-term growth.
Looking toward 2026 and beyond, Phoenix intends to accelerate core industrial acquisition activity, further expand its infrastructure and AI data center platform, and continue growing its national footprint. The firm credits its momentum to the collective efforts of its exceptional employees, suppliers, brokers, banking partners, and equity partners, whose support has been integral in executing the company’s successful growth strategy.
