Hey Everyone,
Long time reader, first time poster. I had an interview a couple weeks ago with CenterPoint Properties for an analyst position that would work 50/50 with the investment (existing properties) and development teams. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with them or is aware of their perception in the industry?
I don't want to give too much away about myself, but just in case it helps for some reason, I'm from a major, major non-target (small school in Iowa) but I do have some internship experience with commercial real estate and found that pretty interesting.
Thank you in advance for the replies.
Hey, first I would recommend you scrub out some of the information about yourself and the timing of your meeting w/ Centerpoint.
While I have no direct experience with them, they appear to be a respectable industrial/logistics developer with quality sponsorship and good national breadth. Looks like they were taken private by CalPERS and GI Partners. While I can't say I have a lot of respect for CalPERS investments, GI is generally viewed as a shrewd investor in platform opportunities (they institutionalized the data center business through the creation of Digital Realty Trust).
If you are interested in real estate and think you could enjoy working in industrial development, probably not a bad place to start.
Bump anyone thoughts? Seen they have been very active
Obviously focus on Industrial and logistics properties and have a national presence. My understanding is they are a good group I see them all the time but I honestly don't know anyone from CenterPoint.
Word thats all i know too, but saw they were snatching up dome big portfolios recently
Any time you can get into the dev/investment game this early in your career you're sitting pretty, no matter the pay or the hours.
Know them, probably even know who you interviewed with. Industrial development that is becoming more logistics driven.. Unlike say apartments where you are building on market demand/supply +- capital markets +-random shit. So yeah, anyone in CRE on the buy side knows Centerpoint if they've worked with Industrial product.
Agreed
