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.
