A highlight of the awards event will be the induction of Brett Dedeaux, Chief Executive and Managing Member of Dedeaux Properties, into the Hall of Fame.
Under Dedeaux’s leadership, Dedeaux Properties has evolved to become the largest owner/operator of modern IOS and logistics properties in Southern California. Dedeaux owns and operates more than 14 million square feet of industrial real estate with over $1.3 billion of assets under management, spanning cold storage, distribution, transloading facilities, truck terminals, and industrial outdoor storage (IOS). Dedeaux strategically built the firm’s industrial portfolio recognizing a need for modernized logistics facilities, such as truck terminals and transloading facilities, which were being overlooked by the industry.
Dedeaux is also executive director of the Rod Dedeaux Foundation, which provides much needed funds for amateur and underserved youth baseball and softball programs across Los Angeles. The Foundation awards the USA Baseball Rod Dedeaux Coach of the Year Award in honor of his grandfather well-known for his success as an Olympic and Collegiate baseball coach winning 11 National Titles.
“I look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of our winners and honorees on this special night as it provides an opportunity to recognize innovation and ingenuity across several asset classes and disciplines. These are some of our industry’s best performing firms and individuals who we have the honor to celebrate,” said Timothy Jemal, CEO, NAIOP SoCal
