Bluebird is the principal: we acquire and asset-manage industrial properties. Affiliated Summit Real Estate Services handles leasing and property management.

We buy industrial deal-by-deal across four focus metros — Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and St. Louis — plus selective holdings in Kansas and Ohio, not a fifth metro program. Underwriting is conservative. Value comes from leasing and operations after we buy.
