Food Ingredients and Nutrition

WITH HUNDREDS OF TRANSACTIONS, CRESA’S FOOD, INGREDIENTS AND NUTRITION PRACTICE IS UNIQUELY EQUIPPED TO WORK WITHIN THE NUANCES OF THIS SPECIALIZED MARKET.

Cresa is the only firm with a practice group dedicated to food, ingredients, and nutrition occupiers. Led from the top, the team has a rare depth of experience, advising clients on the early property impacts of grocery consolidation, through the recent emergence of BRC Food Safety Issue 8. If margin compression was yesterday’s challenge to food manufacturers, tomorrow’s is food safety and regulation.

Occupancy and value increasingly turn on demand across food and regulated sectors, where food producers and other high care manufacturers seek compatibility in infrastructure, utilities, sanitation, and audit conformity. Food manufacturers face a unique dynamic, as food safety concerns bring scrutiny to available facilities which may be contaminated. A discernible market remains for second generation facilities, but interest is widening to include alternative facilities, often FDA regulated, where pathogens do not pre-exist. Critical will be how this impacts demand, price, vacancy, use, and value.

Whether looking for additional capacity, shedding surplus assets, monetizing properties through sale-leaseback, or requiring expert testimony in the context of M&A or tax appeal, our thought leadership further differentiates Cresa from generalist firms and their commoditized offerings.
