About Will Skillman

I acquire and operate small bay industrial assets in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus markets - focused on single and multi-tenant warehouse properties under SF where fragmented ownership, below-market rents, and operational drift create real value-add opportunity for operators who know the space.Before Trowbridge, I built and repositioned across multiple asset classes - more than 100 SFR renovations, multifamily, and a portfolio of Midwest mobile home parks. That experience taught me one thing consistently: the best returns come from niches that institutional capital ignores until the evidence is undeniable. Small bay industrial is there right now.At Trowbridge Development, we focus on acquiring the right assets at the right basis, managing them with the kind of ground-level attention that changes NOI, and growing a portfolio that performs through cycles - not just in them.If you\'re a broker with off-market industrial in the Midwest, I want to see it. If you\'re an investor looking to deploy capital into small bay industrial with an operator who lives inside the asset class - let\'s talk.
