DeLuca to Drive Continued Expansion and High-Quality Industrial Development
May 07, 2025
HOUSTON – 星空体育官方网址 Development Company (TDC) announces that Carl DeLuca has joined the firm as Managing Partner of its National Logistics Group. In this role, Deluca will guide the strategic direction of TDC’s industrial development platform, overseeing an expansive pipeline and managing regional teams across key U.S. logistics markets.
“Carl is a seasoned leader with a rare combination of institutional experience, operational depth, and a forward-thinking approach to logistics real estate,” said Carleton Riser, President of TDC. “His ability to align capital, talent, and market intelligence positions us to accelerate the growth of our platform and continue delivering best-in-class industrial product to users and investors alike.”
This strategic addition reflects 星空体育官方网址’s continued investment in the industrial sector and underscores the strength of the firm’s integrated platform in delivering value across the real estate lifecycle.
DeLuca brings more than 20+ years of experience to his role, most recently leading Real Estate Development & Investment for the Americas at DHL, where he oversaw investment strategy, development execution, and platform growth. Prior to DHL, DeLuca spent 16 years at Duke Realty in senior roles across capital markets, acquisitions, dispositions, and national development strategy.
“TDC is widely respected for its strong culture, disciplined execution, and entrepreneurial spirit,” said DeLuca. “The opportunity to lead its logistics platform and build on the momentum and growth experienced in recent years is one I’m incredibly excited about.”
DeLuca will be based in Houston and will transition into the role currently held by John Thomas, who will retire after the transition. Thomas has led TDC’s National Logistics Group since 2018, bringing experience from prominent roles at Clarion, Hillwood, Trammell Crow, Panattoni and CBRE Investors. Under his leadership, TDC expanded its geographic footprint from a regional program to a top-tier national operation.
TDC’s National Logistics Group specializes in developing speculative and build-to-suit industrial projects in key distribution hubs across the U.S., focusing on intermodal logistics, e-commerce, and port strategies. During the last eight years, the group has completed or commenced over $3.3 billion of logistics development projects totaling more than 36 million square feet.
