Newport Beach-based BKM Capital Partners, a vertically integrated institutional fund manager specializing in multi-tenant light industrial real estate, completed a decisive first half of 2025 marked by strategic platform expansion, sustained leasing velocity and the launch of a $1.5-billion joint venture partnership with Kayne Anderson Real Estate.
In the first six months of the year, BKM acquired 15 properties totaling more than $500 million and 2.35 million square feet, entering Florida and Texas while continuing to deepen its footprint in key Western U.S. markets. The firm also executed over 300 new leases and grew its national team by 15%.
“We’re scaling with intent, not just size,” said Brian Malliet, founder, CEO, and CIO of BKM. “There is undeniable need for functional, small-bay industrial space in almost every major metro in the country. These are the real spaces powering last-mile logistics, services and local economies. And we’ve built a platform that can deliver and operate them at scale.”
