Newmark announces the 15,475-square-foot headquarter lease of Puris Holdings, LLC. (PURIS) at 811 Glenwood Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. PURIS is one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of pea proteins in the burgeoning plant-based protein industry, with existing plants in Dawson, Minnesota and Turtle Lake, Wisconsin. Newmark Executive Managing Director Jim Damiani and Directors Ryan Bohrer and Andrew Commers represented PURIS, the tenant, in the transaction to landlord, The Ackerberg Group. Newmark Director Karen Barron is handling the project management of PURIS’ new space build-out.
“As a leading agricultural innovator, PURIS is a key, growing Minnesota company and continues to root themselves strategically in markets across the Upper Midwest,” commented Ryan. “811 Glenwood Avenue is well-positioned and offers the space for PURIS’ expanding headquarters.”
Built in 1924 as a dry goods storage facility, 811 Glenwood Ave is a cornerstone of a developing corridor in the West Loop neighborhood just outside the Minneapolis Central Business District. The property sits across the street from International Market Square, the largest interior design marketplace in the Upper Midwest.
“Minneapolis’ talent and resources are second to none, driven by the strong agricultural space of food science and technology already in the city,” shared Tyler Lorenzen, CEO of PURIS. “Expanding our headquarters, the office will focus more on utilities rather than the square feet to impact the sustainability of plant-based food.”
