BCD founder Andrew Moger will serve as vice chairman at RIPCO

RIPCO Bolsters F&B Capabilities with BCD Acquisition 

RIPCO Real Estate has acquired BCD (Branded Concept Development), a restaurant real estate brokerage firm specializing in the expansion of food and beverage brands. “The acquisition of BCD, a food and beverage powerhouse, improves our ability to service both current and future F&B clients,” said RIPCO COO Mark Kaplan. 

Founded by Andrew Moger in 2001, BCD has focused on project management, tenant representation and strategic investment. RIPCO has acquired BCD’s brokerage business; Moger’s investment and advisory arm, BCD Strategic Investments, will continue to be a separate entity, while the project management arm was sold last year.  

Moger, based out of Manhattan and serving as vice chairman, will be focusing on business development and tenant representation, and working to further grow the company’s national expansion in food and beverage brands. He will also help recruit F&B specialists throughout each of RIPCO’s current markets in the New York Tri-State region and Florida.
