A joint venture has acquired the former Sunny Delight bottling plant in Littleton.
The 332,000-square-foot plant, which previously produced beverages including Veryfine juices, Arizona iced teas and Smartwater, is being remarketed by the investor group to other companies that can utilize the space.
The plant is available with or without the existing bottling equipment. An existing bottler would be able to be in production in the facility in a matter of months.
The plant has a wastewater treatment plant on the property with an active NPDES permit that allows for up to 750,000 gallons per day to be processed. In addition, the plant has a recently installed reverse osmosis system, newly upgraded can and bottling lines, a rail spur, freezer and cooler space, and a modern high-bay warehouse with 25 loading docks.
The plant has been expanded and modernized several times since, with the bulk of the square footage of the plant being built in the 1980s and 1990s. The plant was owned by Kraft as recently as 2007 before being sold to Sunny Delight.
New Mill Capital has retained Kevin Kelly and David Sours of CBRE’s National Industrial Foods practice to find a new tenant.
The joint venture consists of New Mill Capital, Gordon Brothers Group of Boston and Odyssey Real Estate Capital of Las Vegas.
