The building that housed the former Keurig Dr Pepper roasting plant on the outskirts of Windsor is again under contract to be sold, six months after a prior sale fell through.
Economic Development Director Kristi Sutphin told the Economic Development Authority’s board on March 10 that the latest sale is expected to close by the end of the month, but she did not identify the prospective buyer.
“Per the terms of the purchase agreement, I am unable to disclose the identity of the contract purchaser,” she told the Times.
Sutphin said she did not know the proposed purchase price or the exact date when the sale would close.
Sutphin previously said in July she’d received notice of a pending sale of the roughly 330,000-square-foot facility by its current owner, Keurig subsidiary Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc., to Schenley Investments, a Washington, D.C.-based commercial real estate investment manager. At the time, the sale was expected to close during the third quarter of 2025, but by the Sept. 9 EDA meeting, Sutphin said the deal had fallen through and that the property was back on the market with CBRE Group, a Norfolk-based international real estate company. Keurig has been working with CBRE to sell the building.
Keurig, the beverage manufacturer that produces the Dr Pepper and Snapple brands and single-serve K-cups used in Keurig coffeemakers, announced the closure of the Windsor plant two years ago. Sutphin said in January that a building permit had been issued last fall to fill in the facility’s now-decommissioned bean pit.
