Bridge Development Hires Its First General Counsel

Bridge Development Partners hired Daniel Hemmer as its first general counsel, based in its downtown headquarters. Along with overseeing all of Bridge’s legal functions, Hemmer will also play a significant role in the development of processes and procedures to support Bridge’s ongoing growth.

“Demand for first-class industrial space continues to show no signs of slowing down, and Bridge continues to pursue our expansion across our seven core U.S. industrial markets, as well as begin our first ventures into international markets,” said Bridge CEO Steve Poulos. “As our company and our portfolio continued to grow, securing a skilled and experienced legal mind like Dan’s was imperative.”

Before joining Bridge, Hemmer served as GC at First Industrial Realty Trust for five years. Prior to that, he spent 11 years as GC for CenterPoint Properties, an industrial property and transportation infrastructure developer and investor owned by the country’s largest pension fund.
