Securing a specialized manufacturing and distribution facility for a growing food production company
- Hanover, MD
Client Objectives
A food manufacturing and distribution company needed to secure new space to support its expanding operations. The goal was to find a facility near its existing footprint in the BWI/Howard County area that could meet stringent operational and infrastructure requirements tied to food-grade production.
STRATEGIC PLANNING
The Cresa team collaborated closely with the client’s facilities and engineering teams to define technical requirements and accelerate site qualification. In a tight industrial market, they took a patient, targeted approach—conducting due diligence and uncovering off-market options. The team ultimately secured a new-construction facility that could be modified during development to meet food-grade standards, minimizing buildout costs and expediting occupancy.
Results
- Strategic Location: Identified a facility in close proximity to existing operations, supporting distribution efficiency
- Customization Opportunity: Secured a building under construction that could be tailored to food-grade specifications
- Speed to Market: Reduced timeline by structuring a phased improvement schedule
- Collaborative Planning: Worked in tandem with client’s technical teams to streamline site evaluation and design alignment
