The Cold & Food Facilities Advisors are a specialty team focused exclusively on the real estate that supports food supply chain - nationally, internationally, and globally. We deliver strategic guidance and specialized insight for real estate solutions across cold storage, food processing, manufacturing, packaging, and temperature-controlled logistics. We provide advisory and execution services to occupiers, operators, investors, and developers navigating this evolving, highly technical, and capital-intensive asset class. We bring a focused lens to a complex industry—where temperature, timing, and throughput converge to define operational success.
From first mile to the last mile, from farm to consumer, our team operates at the intersection of food logistics and industrial real estate. We guide clients through site selection, facility acquisition, development, and disposition of food supply chain assets across the U.S. and globe. Whether it's identifying turnkey assets, creating a building to suit, retrofitting an existing building, a sale-leaseback, or investment opportunity we prioritize speed-to-execution and long-term facility viability that align with your operational and financial goals.
Our approach is informed by real-time industry insights, decades of cumulative experience, and the principle that each client deserves a custom-built team of experts. Our team collaborates seamlessly within the cold and food industry and across the Cushman & Wakefield platform—Logistics, Debt & Equity, Capital Markets, Property Development Services, Incentives, Value and Advisory —to ensure that projects don’t just close but perform.
We’re more than brokers—we’re advisors in this niche vertical who exist to advance the operational efficiency in food and cold logistics and who understand the urgency and complexity of each opportunity. We help our clients move faster, scale smarter, and make better-informed decisions in one of the most capital-intensive, infrastructure heavy verticals in the supply chain.
