This case is about succession planning for MDH Partners, an Atlanta-based industrial real estate investment firm founded in 2005. When Jeffrey Small, Jr. cofounded MDH Partners, he named the company in honor of his grandfather, Mark Durward (MD) Hodges, an early pioneer in Atlanta's industrial real estate industry. The case details Small's journey joining and eventually taking over his grandfather's company in the 1990s, selling it to Blackstone, and eventually starting his own firm.
