AssetBuilt Selected to Lead Value Maximization, Industrial Asset Recovery and Demolition Support for Former Anheuser-Busch Newark Manufacturing Campus
NEWARK, N.J., July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AssetBuilt today announced that it has been engaged to provide strategic value maximization, industrial asset recovery, auction services, and demolition support for the former Anheuser-Busch manufacturing campus in Newark, New Jersey.
The assignment encompasses the recovery, marketing, and disposition of surplus manufacturing assets while supporting the decommissioning and demolition of the approximately 3.2 million-square-foot manufacturing complex situated on more than 86 acres. Working alongside the project's ownership and redevelopment teams, AssetBuilt is coordinating the recovery of reusable industrial assets prior to demolition, helping maximize financial returns while facilitating the site's next phase of redevelopment.
As part of the engagement, AssetBuilt will conduct a global Live Webcast Auction from September 8–11, 2026, providing manufacturers, processors, contractors, equipment dealers, and industrial investors around the world with access to one of the most significant industrial asset recovery events of the year.
"The successful redevelopment of a manufacturing facility begins with maximizing the value of the assets inside it. Our responsibility is to identify value, connect these assets with buyers around the world, and execute a transparent disposition process while supporting the efficient transition and redevelopment of the site. Equipment of this scale and quality rarely becomes available in a single offering." — Tara Shaikh, Founder of AssetBuilt |
The former Newark campus served as one of the region's premier beverage manufacturing operations, performing brewing, fermentation, packaging, warehousing, utilities, maintenance, and distribution within a fully integrated production environment. The auction will include thousands of assets representing virtually every stage of large-scale beverage manufacturing.
