New Amazon Warehouses Garner Headlines, But Older Manufacturing Plants Are Also In High Demand
The industrial boom isn’t just about sleek new Amazon warehouses. Even older manufacturing properties are finding second lives that soften the blow whenever firms decide to pick up stakes and move on.
That has been the experience so far in Montgomery, Illinois. Caterpillar’s 2017 decision to sell and mostly close its 1950s-era manufacturing complex there could have left behind economic devastation. But the village of 20,000 and its largest plant are already on the path to recovery.
A turnaround began last year when it was acquired by the White Plains, New York-based Reich Brothers for $68.5M. The family office specializes in buying and leasing up second-generation industrial spaces and, according to Colliers, it just secured 2.9M SF of leases for the former Caterpillar complex at 325 South Route 31.

Turnaround specialist finishes latest Columbus revival project
A specialist in turning around languishing properties has completed its latest project in Central Ohio.
White Plains, New York-based Reich Bros. has completed a $3 million renovation of the former Quad Graphics site at 4051 Fondorf Dr. The developer bought the 7.1-acre site and the 142,000 square foot building for $3 million last April.
“It was a straightforward process overall,” said Michael Reich, director of acquisitions at Reich Brothers. “We were able to bring a lot of life back to that building and return it to a job center in a new capacity.”

The building has since been subdivided for four tenants in undisclosed footprints, including Ram Tool Construction Supply Co., Hayward Distributing Co. and Rooms for Less, Reich said.
The building, next to the western I-70/I-270 junction, was built in 1970. Most recently, Quad used it as a production site until the Sussex, Wisconsin-based company closed the plant in 2017.
Reich Brothers is a specialist in acquiring brownfield properties and turning them around for new uses. Its most prominent local deal has been the acquisition and cleanup of the 70-acre Columbus Castings foundry on Columbus’ south side. The company bought the land in 2016 for $2.6 million and then invested $6.9 million into remediation work with help from JobsOhio incentives.
Joseph Kimener and Jeff Lyons of CBRE managed leasing for the property.
Reich said the company continues to look around Columbus for industrial sites to renovate. It’s most interested in brownfield redevelopment projects, especially within areas that have a strong demand for industrial space.
“We love the Columbus market and what it has to offer, it’s got the labor supply and ample interstate access,” Reich said. “We continue to look for more opportunities in the market and expect to add more in the next 12 to 24 months.”
