REAL ESTATE SOLUTIONS FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY
Case Study 01
I have developed a great partnership with the Colliers Food Advisory Services team (Chris, Turner and Sam), and their dedication to the food industry has been key to our relationship. They have been a trusted resource for 5+ years and have assisted in a few large, food distribution facility sales, as well as simple opinions of value, market research and property surveys. I appreciate their attention to detail and creative approach to finding solutions to my real estate needs.

Chris and the Food Advisory Services team have become a trusted partner after helping us execute multiple transactions over the past few years. Particularly, they have assisted in the sale of numerous food manufacturing facilities, including two complicated campus sales totaling 2.4 million SF and 250+ acres. Their ability to assemble a listing team that includes national food industry expertise, plus local boots-on-the-ground market knowledge is unmatched. After working together through numerous transactions, I have learned I can trust them to provide creative solutions when needed and have full faith in their ability to navigate a deal from start to finish.

Faster and faster: producer prices accelerated again in August
Producer prices rose 8.3% year over year in August, setting another record for the largest 12-month increase since that data was first tracked in 2010. The increase followed July's 7.8% year-over-year climb, which itself was an acceleration over record-setting increases in May and June. Month to month, wholesale prices in August were up 0.7% over July levels. Ready-to-sell (vs. unprocessed and unfinished) food products accounted for half of the 1.0% overall increase in prices for final-demand goods in August. MORE >
