**Rexford Industrial and CIO Patrick Schlehuber Part Ways**
Patrick Schlehuber has parted ways with longtime employer Rexford Industrial Realty Inc., according to Connect CRE. As of now, the Los Angeles-based real estate investment trust (REIT) has not named a successor to Schlehuber in his role as Chief Investment Officer.
Schlehuber dedicated 16.5 years to Rexford, where he played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s property investment strategy, focusing on Southern California’s infill industrial real estate market. He was instrumental in taking Rexford public in 2013, transforming it from a small private equity firm into the second-largest public industrial REIT. From 2009 to 2025, he directed more than 400 acquisitions and dispositions, representing nearly $14.5 billion in transaction volume and adding over 50 million square feet to the Rexford portfolio.
With more than two decades of experience in real estate investment and finance, Schlehuber offers extensive expertise in acquisitions, dispositions, asset and construction management, as well as leasing. He served as a member of Rexford’s Investment Committee and remains an influential figure in the industry, occupying board positions with NAIOP SoCal, NAIOP San Diego, and the Foundation for Learning, Athletics, and Growth (F.L.A.G.).
Prior to his tenure at Rexford, Schlehuber was an investment officer at First Industrial Realty Trust. His early career included roles in investment banking and financial consulting at RA Capital and Arthur Andersen.
Further updates on this development will be reported as information becomes available.
