Our History
35 Years of Simplifying Intermodal Transport
Since the beginning, we’ve built our business on forward-thinking logistics solutions. We’ve invested in the coastal and inland port markets that anchor North America’s most important freight lanes—so we can masterfully streamline supply chains.
CenterPoint began industrial real estate operations in 1984 under the name Capital and Regional Properties Corporation. After opening our Chicago corporate headquarters in 1991, we acquired and consolidated our operations with FCLS Investors Group.
In the years that followed, we cemented our presence in the Midwest. Between 1993 and 2006, we completed our first development in West Chicago, opened regional offices in Milwaukee, made the biggest acquisition in Chicago history and executed the largest build-to-suit Illinois had ever seen.
Between 2008 and 2014, we grew into a truly national company—expanding our footprint to the coasts and western U.S. by opening regional offices in Los Angeles, CA, Norfolk, VA, Kansas City, MO and Saddle Brook, NJ.
Today, we’re still expanding and breaking new ground—with sustainable developments, last-mile shipping solutions and never-been-done-before real estate deals. As markets change and supply chains evolve, you can count on us to stay ahead of the curve.
