Heaven Hill Breaks Ground on $135M Bourbon Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky

by John Nelson June 7, 2022

BARDSTOWN, KY. — Heaven Hill, a family-owned spirits company overseeing brands such as Evan Williams and Deep Eddy Vodka, has broken ground on a $135 million distillery in Bardstown, approximately 40 miles south of Louisville. The project, known as Heaven Hill Springs Distillery, is located at 1015 Old Bloomfield Pike, which was the site of the former Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery. The former distillery opened in 1935, but was destroyed in a fire in 1996 that engulfed the distillery, seven rickhouses for barrel aging and about 100,000 barrels of whiskey. After the fire, Heaven Hill moved its distillery operations to the historic Bernheim Distillery in downtown Louisville, where the company still operates today. “We’re honored to celebrate this homecoming with a return to distilling in Bardstown to augment our overall bourbon-making capacity, as well as continue to make an impact in the Bardstown community,” says Max Shapira, president of Heaven Hill. Heaven Hill Springs Distillery is scheduled to open by the end of 2024. Heaven Hill anticipates the distillery will handle 150,000 barrels of spirits annually at first and ramp up production to 450,000 barrels annually over time, which mirrors the production at its Louisville distillery.

The Sky is Not Falling for Miami’s Retail Market as Healthcare, Dining Activity Soars

by John Nelson June 6, 2022

When the world shut down in March 2020, “Chicken Littles” everywhere proclaimed the end of one of the primary asset classes in commercial real estate: retail. Retail tenants largely abandoned expansion plans and entered survival mode by shifting focus to seeking rent abatements and lease restructurings. Landlords in weak financial positions fought to meet significant debt obligations, while those in stronger positions took the opportunity to evict struggling tenants and refresh inventory, hoping that more creditworthy tenants would come calling. Fast forward two years and any lingering uncertainty about the survival of retail has waned, and, today, we seem to be in one of the stronger landlord markets in recent memory. What drove this radical shift from fear and hesitation to boundless market optimism? Increased competition among tenants with strong financial backing. Two factors have changed the landscape: private equity-sponsored healthcare companies and capital-rich restaurant groups. Medtail in Miami Healthcare businesses appeared to thrive during the pandemic as most were able to remain operational through state and local “shut down” orders. Many of these businesses used the pandemic as an opportunity to pounce on large spaces vacated by big box retailers and service-oriented businesses, like nail salons, barbershops and dry …
