Savills advised Covetrus on the real estate strategy for its new state-of-the-art distribution center in Grimes, Iowa. The global leader in animal health technology and services will relocate to the Prairie Business Park at 400 SE 41st Street in Grimes.
The company is expanding by 27,000 square feet, bringing its new footprint to 80,000.
Savills Vice Chairman and Head of North America Life Sciences Austin Barrett was tapped to develop a new real estate plan for Covetrus as it needed to expand its distribution capabilities throughout the Midwest.
