First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.
A real estate investment trust that owns, develops, and manages warehouses and logistics properties across key U.S. markets, leasing them to companies that store and ship goods. It grew out of the Chicago real estate holdings of Jay H. Shidler, who reorganized his industrial portfolio into a publicly traded REIT in the early 1990s to raise capital after a recession had dried up traditional funding. The name is plain and descriptive: "First" for its early focus, "Industrial" for its business, and "Realty Trust" for its legal structure.
