Million-square-foot industrial JV breaks ground inside a Columbus Opportunity Zone

Trident Capital Group and O'Connor Capital Partners closed a joint venture with Clarion Partners for the third phase of Rickenbacker Industrial Center in Columbus, Ohio — a 959,579-square-foot speculative industrial facility now under construction at 1669 Rohr Road, slated for completion in Q1 2027. The 57.3-acre project sits inside a designated Qualified Opportunity Zone and carries a 15-year, 75% property tax abatement, with 40-foot clear heights, 104 dock doors, and direct rail access in the Rickenbacker corridor near the international cargo airport. Institutional capital at this scale committing to OZ-sited logistics is exactly the activity the program's backers point to as the 2027 cycle approaches.
