Our History
A Legacy of Revitalizing and Managing Industrial Properties
Over 50 Years of Transforming Industrial Real Estate
Established in 1972 by Anthony J. Asher
Weston began its journey by acquiring and revamping outdated warehouses in Cleveland, Ohio. These properties, some of which we still own today, were transformed into thriving multitenant facilities. Over the years, we have remained committed to the strategy of purchasing existing buildings and driving value through redevelopment.
As our business flourished, so did our portfolio.
In 1999, we transitioned to the next generation as the boundaries of our operations expanded beyond Northeast Ohio. By 2010, our property ownership had reached an impressive 12 million square feet, and the development side of our business was well underway.
A major milestone was reached in 2020 when we made a significant acquisition of a 5.5 million square foot portfolio in the Carolina market. This move solidified our position as a prominent player in the industrial real estate market.
Continuing our growth trajectory, we made headlines again in 2021, acquiring two former Ford plants. These vast industrial spaces, totaling over 4.5 million square feet, will be redeveloped into large industrial hubs, further enhancing the regions we serve.
In 2022, we proudly celebrated Weston’s 50th anniversary. Throughout the past five decades, our unwavering commitment to acquiring, revitalizing and managing industrial real estate has solidified our position as a highly respected industry leader.
Today, our portfolio comprises approximately 25 million square feet, serving around 900 tenants. We’re active in Cleveland, Columbus, Louisville and Charlotte and own properties in 8 different states.
With a rich history built on innovation and adaptability, we continue to forge new paths in the industrial real estate market, always seeking opportunities to create value and provide exceptional spaces for our tenants.
