BIG DEALS?
COMPLEX MOVES?
GLOBAL REACH?
WE’VE GOT IT COVERED.
Industrial real estate isn’t just a market we work in — it’s the 93-year muscle memory of our company. We were here when America was building factories at full tilt, and we’re still here as those factories transform into AI data facilities, pharmaceutical labs, automated manufacturing plants, fulfillment hubs, and new beginnings.
At Binswanger, we don’t do cookie-cutter. We don’t chase trends. We chart strategy, craft solutions, design outcomes, and see around corners for the world’s most ambitious occupiers and owners. We advise. We connect. We close.
That’s the short version. The long version starts with a conversation.

We Remember When Warehouses Had Windows…
Since 1931, Binswanger has been trusted by manufacturers, developers, private equity firms, and Fortune 500s to tackle real estate challenges that don’t come with a playbook. We cut our teeth on complex industrial deals before most people knew what “logistics” even meant. And today, we still thrive in the mess, the unknown, the high-stakes situations where precision and perspective matter most.
Founded by Frank Binswanger, Sr., during the depths of the Great Depression, Binswanger was built on grit, vision, and a belief in doing business the right way. Nearly a century later, we’re still at it—now a fourth-generation, employee-owned firm advising industrial and manufacturing giants around the globe. We’ve seen empires rise, markets shift, and technologies evolve—but trust, hustle, and expertise have never gone out of style.



Built for Now. Wired for What’s Next.
Whether you’re searching for 500,000 square feet in the Midwest or planning an exit strategy in Seoul, we’ve been there before—and we’re already thinking three moves ahead.
You won’t find us fumbling through retail comps or trying to fake our way through a life sciences site tour. What you will find: transactional professionals and technical experts who know the difference between a warehouse, a waffle slab and a small molecule manufacturing facility; advisors who can speak the language of your CFO and your site engineer; and a team that cares as much about space strategy as they do about your professional success.
We operate at the intersection of insight and execution, combining real-world experience with cutting-edge data and decades of on-the-ground relationships. Whether you’re expanding, consolidating, relocating, or just figuring out what comes next, we’ve been through it—and we know how to lead.

Proven Track Record of Real Results
Some firms show you volume. We show you vision. Because the number of transactions doesn’t matter if they’re all the same.
Our deals stretch across five continents and six decades of economic shifts, market crashes, booms, busts, and technological revolutions. We’ve repurposed legacy industrial campuses into life sciences hubs. We’ve helped international giants enter unfamiliar markets with zero margin for error. And we’ve sold 1-million-square-foot facilities faster than some firms write proposals.
Yet, what really sets us apart is that our clients come to us when they want a partner, not just a broker.



Where Technical Fluency Meets Market Mastery
At Binswanger, we don’t do one-size-fits-all. Every assignment starts with a custom-built team assembled to match the nuance and scale of the challenge. Our teams combine experienced brokers with subject-matter experts from across verticals like aerospace, automotive, pharma, food & beverage, nanotech, and more. It’s brokerage, yes—but layered with the insight of engineers and former industry insiders. That’s how we move faster, spot red flags early, and find angles others miss.
From life sciences campuses and R&D labs to advanced manufacturing facilities, we bring more than just market knowledge. We bring technical fluency, engineering perspective, and a global network of partners. Our reach spans continents, but our attention is local and precise. We know what creates value in real assets—and how to find opportunity where others only see risk.
