BKM Capital Partners Expands National Reach in H1 2025
Newport Beach-based BKM Capital Partners, a vertically integrated institutional fund manager specializing in multi-tenant light industrial real estate, has completed a milestone first half of 2025. The firm’s progress was marked by significant nationwide platform expansion, robust leasing activity, and the launch of a $1.5-billion joint venture partnership with Kayne Anderson Real Estate.
During the first six months of the year, BKM acquired 15 properties totaling over $500 million in value and encompassing 2.35 million square feet. This strategic expansion included new market entries into Florida and Texas, while simultaneously strengthening BKM’s presence in key Western U.S. regions.
The company also executed more than 300 new leases and expanded its national team by 15%, signaling strong operational growth and market demand.
“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.”
The company’s targeted expansion strategy positions it at the forefront of a rising demand for light industrial spaces nationwide.
