(NYSE: REXR) is a leading real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on the acquisition, ownership, and operation of industrial properties in infill Southern California. As of the latest data, the company's portfolio comprises approximately 419 properties with about 51.2 million rentable square feet, serving a diverse tenant base. The company was incorporated in Maryland on January 18, 2013, and went public in July 2013. Founded in 2001 by Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel, Rexford has grown through a proprietary value-creation strategy that includes repositioning underutilized properties and enhancing their income-generating potential.
The company's business model emphasizes the high-barrier, supply-constrained nature of the Southern California industrial market, which has consistently demonstrated strong demand and low vacancy rates. This strategy enables both internal growth through active asset management and external growth via accretive acquisitions. Rexford's financial performance reflects its scale: with a market capitalization of approximately $8.4 billion, the company generates revenue from leasing space to a stable tenant base. The company's revenue per share over the trailing twelve months (TTM) is $4.40, and it has a dividend yield of about 4.7%, consistent with its REIT structure.
Key financial metrics show a gross profit margin of 61%, an operating profit margin of 39.6%, and a return on equity of -4.8% (due to non-cash impairments or unrealized losses), while its debt-to-equity ratio stands at 0.447, indicating a moderate leverage. The company's enterprise value is approximately $11.7 billion, with a price-to-sales ratio of 8.53. Rexford's leadership includes CEO Laura E. Clark, who has been with the company since its early days and took over as CEO in 2025. The company has about 256 employees and is a member of the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
Rexford is committed to sustainability, participating in programs like the U.S. Green Building Council and the Better Buildings Challenge, aiming to reduce energy and water consumption across its portfolio. With a strong presence in Los Angeles and other key Southern California submarkets, Rexford Industrial continues to capitalize on the region's industrial real estate dynamics, positioning itself for long-term growth and value creation for shareholders.
