Our Story
Workspace Nation™ is the national portfolio brand of Phoenix Industrial Redevelopment, LLC (PIR) and Grid Property Management, LLC. Created to meet the evolving needs of small manufacturers and service businesses across the United States, Workspace Nation™ reflects our commitment to revitalizing American industrial infrastructure—one property at a time.
Founded in 2017, PIR was established to empower small business owners by providing high-quality, affordable industrial workspaces. Through our collaboration with Grid Property Management, we have steadily grown a portfolio of renovated, small-bay, multi-tenant industrial parks tailored for entrepreneurs embracing modern manufacturing technologies.
Our Mission:
To provide the workspaces that enable small manufacturing and service business entrepreneurs the opportunity to grow highly profitable businesses and experience lives of freedom, meaning, purpose, and impact.
Our Core Purpose:
We create the small industrial workspaces of the future—flexible, affordable, reliable, and built for growth.
Our Expansion Timeline:
Since acquiring our first property in 2017, the Workspace Nation® portfolio has expanded to 19 locations nationwide, with a moonshot goal of 100+ industrial parks by 2040. Each new acquisition brings us closer to a coast-to-coast ecosystem that fuels America’s industrial renaissance.
The Industrial Legacy Initiative™
At the heart of Workspace Nation® is the PIR Industrial Legacy Initiative™, a long-term strategy to revitalize value-add industrial real estate and support the businesses that depend on it.
We acquire aging, underutilized industrial parks—typically between 20,000 and 200,000 square feet—and transform them through targeted renovations, infrastructure upgrades, and modern property management. These properties are then leased to growing small businesses in need of affordable, functional workspaces in key industrial markets.
Our Process:
Identify
We target older properties in strategic locations with untapped potential.
Aquire
We purchase these assets using a mix of institutional financing and proprietary capital programs.
Renovate
We complete physical upgrades, enhance curb appeal, modernize infrastructure, and improve safety and functionality.
Stablize
We secure quality tenants on market-rate leases.
Hold
We retain ownership, ensuring long-term impact and value creation.
Our Vision:
To become the national standard for industrial revitalization—providing professionally managed, future-ready workspaces that power small business growth and regional economic development.
Our Values
The Workspace Nation™ experience is grounded in a distinct set of core values inherited from our founders at Grid Property Management and PIR. These principles guide every decision and define how we interact with our tenants, communities, partners, and investors:

The Result:
Tenants in Workspace Nation™ properties gain more than space—they gain a dependable partner in their journey to build, scale, and succeed.
Reindustrialization Vision
The United States is entering a new era of manufacturing growth. As global supply chains shift and new technologies take hold—such as 3D printing, AI, robotics, and advanced automation—the demand for local, flexible, and smart industrial space is exploding.
Workspace Nation™ is positioned at the center of this transformation.
Our properties serve as the launchpads for America’s small and midsized manufacturers—the innovators, fabricators, and service entrepreneurs who are reshaping the domestic economy. These businesses don’t need massive warehouses. They need scalable, reliable, well-located facilities that support agility, production, and progress.
How We Support the Reindustrialization Wave:
- Delivering high-quality industrial space in cities where demand is growing.
- Enabling small businesses to adopt new technologies and methods in affordable environments.
- Helping tenants stabilize, grow, and expand within our nationwide network.
With every renovated property, Workspace Nation™ contributes to a larger goal: building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of American industry.
