Sales are Brewing at Hilliker Corporation

St. Louis, MO, May 02, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Hilliker Corporation, a St. Louis owned and managed commercial real estate company, recently represented the seller in what will bring a vibrant and locally homegrown brewery to the trendy Grove area.

Green Street Properties purchased the building for $1.85 million from the Renard Family, who were represented by Hilliker Corporation agent Peter Newton. Green Street St. Louis is a Clayton, Mo.-based company that develops sustainable buildings and specializes in LEED certified facilities. Urban Chestnut Brewing Company (UCBC), located at 3229 Washington Ave., will rent the space from Green Street. The UCBC brewing and bottling facility will feature a tasting room and ongoing tours in their new 75,000-square-foot second location.

The building, located at 4465 Manchester Ave. in the Grove, was originally built in 1947. The Renard family bought the property in 1977, making additions in 1986 and 1990. The space served as a warehouse and distribution center for the Renard Paper Company, which distributed industrial and commercial cleaning products and equipment. The business merged in 2011 with Indianapolis-based HP Products Corp., which specialized in sanitary maintenance, packaging and lighting. The building was vacant at the time of sale.

UCBC is owned by partners Florian Kuplent and David Wolfe. Their company features a “new world meets old world” brewing approach and creates classically-crafted, timeless European beers.

Hilliker Corporation, which targets regional and national entrepreneurs, is St. Louis’ largest locally owned independent commercial real estate company located at 2001 S. Hanley Rd. The firm’s agents, who each average over 15 years of experience, have completed more than 10,000 sales and leases for industrial, office, retail and institutional clients since its inception in 1985.
