Packet Digital, a leader in battery technology for autonomous systems, has been experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for advanced power solutions. Based in Fargo, ND, the company is driven by a mission to empower autonomous systems and maintain a strong local presence with its manufacturing and engineering facilities.

As Packet Digital expanded its operations, it faced three major real estate challenges over five years:

1. Relocating and expanding its corporate headquarters to better support engineering and initial manufacturing.
2. Establishing a new production facility to accommodate a growing manufacturing team.
3. Consolidating its supply chain and further expanding to support a new battery manufacturing venture, Badland Batteries, with an 80,000 sq ft facility in North Fargo.

In all cases, the company needed a real estate partner who could move fast, understand the industry, and deliver with integrity.

Packet Digital turned to Goldmark Commercial, a commercial real estate firm with a strong local reputation and a deep understanding of the community. The Goldmark Commercial team was engaged to support the full life cycle of each transaction, from identifying and securing the right properties to providing strategic insight and ongoing support.

Goldmark Commercial has helped execute over $10M in real estate transactions, including:

• An 11,000 sq ft expansion on University Drive for corporate HQ and engineering in 2021.
• A 24,000 sq ft facility for production and support teams in 2023.
• An 80,000 sq ft expansion for the launch of Badland Batteries in 2024, the first ever battery manufacturing facility in North Dakota.

• Accelerated execution of real estate strategy aligned with company growth.
• Stronger market awareness through Goldmark Commercial’s ongoing consultation and data-centric approach.
• Efficient transactions that matched Packet Digital’s speed and operational needs.
• Deeper community integration, with Goldmark Commercial showing up not just as a vendor, but as a partner attending events and understanding the client’s mission and culture.

“They approach everything with quality, timeliness, and integrity. In a fast-growth company, that means everything.”
