BKM Capital Partners Announces Strategic Capital Partnership with TriPost Capital Partners

TriPost’s $150-million commitment underpins BKM’s continued platform expansion and investment activity across all sponsored investment vehicles, reinforcing confidence in small-bay industrial fundamentals

NEWPORT BEACH, CA and NEW YORK, NY — January X 2026 — BKM Capital Partners (BKM), a vertically integrated institutional fund manager specializing in multi-tenant light industrial real estate, has entered into a $150-million strategic partnership with TriPost Capital Partners (TriPost), a multi-strategy real estate private equity firm focused on long-term platform investments and secondary asset-level investments. The arrangement supports BKM’s continued national expansion and reflects growing institutional conviction around supply-constrained, resilient sectors like multi-tenant light industrial.

The collaboration comes at a time when BKM is experiencing accelerated growth driven by sustained demand for light industrial assets, limited new supply, and improving capital market conditions. The GP capital commitment provides incremental flexibility to scale the business, encourage alignment across vehicles, and bolster BKM’s increasing investment velocity.

“This partnership represents a meaningful next step in the evolution of our platform,” said Brian Malliet, BKM’s Founder, CEO, and Chief Investment Officer. “We’ve built BKM deliberately, focusing on operational depth, prudent underwriting, and consistency across cycles. TriPost’s commitment strengthens our capacity to expand thoughtfully while continuing to execute our strategy.”

TriPost works with middle-market real estate operators at critical stages of growth, providing long-term investment backing and institutional insight to help management teams scale across market cycles. The firm has participated in more than $14 billion of gross transaction volume across over a dozen platform investments. That experience makes it a natural collaborator for BKM as it continues to strengthen its footprint.

“BKM has built a disciplined and scalable platform in a segment of the industrial market that remains structurally undersupplied,” said Brad Carroll, TriPost’s Co-Managing Partner. “Their ability to source, operate, and reposition small- and mid-bay assets while entering new markets is exemplary. We’re excited to contribute to BKM’s continued evolution.”

Over the past year, BKM has accelerated its national expansion, surpassing $3 billion in assets under management, entering new markets including Texas and Florida, and completing nearly six million square feet of acquisitions across 42 properties. The firm’s heightened investment activity has been supported by institutional partnerships and underpinned by consistent leasing performance and operational rigor across its portfolio.

“As BKM has scaled, the importance of aligned, platform-level relationships has only increased,” said Bill Galipeau, BKM’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. “TriPost has a strong track record supporting real estate organizations through critical growth stages, so their perspective is invaluable. This partnership strengthens our investment capabilities and activity while maintaining the standards and consistency that define BKM.”

Both firms expect to grow the relationship over time, grounded in shared objectives, disciplined execution, and the durable fundamentals sustaining the multi-tenant light industrial sector. According to BKM’s Q4 2025 market research, vacancy for buildings under 100,000 square feet remains roughly half that of larger industrial facilities, with less than 1% of small-bay inventory currently under construction nationwide. As capital markets stabilize, transaction activity and pricing recovery have also re-emerged more quickly in smaller deal sizes, reinforcing multi-tenant light industrial’s position as one of the most resilient and liquid segments of the broader industrial market.
