His leadership over the last three decades has
positioned Seefried Industrial Properties as a leader in the industrial real
estate sector, establishing the company as a prominent privately held
development company in the United States.
Both Ferdinand and Rob have placed great
value on the relationships they’ve established over the years with capital

foundation of successful business ventures.
Their ability to cultivate and nurture these
partnerships has been instrumental in successfully navigating complex market
dynamics. Through their genuine commitment to these relationships, Ferdinand
and Rob have shaped Seefried Industrial Properties into a company renowned for
its integrity, reliability, and collaborative spirit.
While we will miss Ferdinand and Rob, we
are profoundly grateful for their exceptional contributions. As they embark on
their well-deserved retirements, we extend our wishes to them for continued
happiness and success in their future endeavors.
