Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This is an opportunity to acquire a nearly quarter-acre development site in downtown Fort Worth, located blocks from Sundance Square and the central business district. The property, situated at 1119 W. 5th Street between Summit Avenue and Lexington Street, consists of 10,150 square feet of land. Zoned "H" Central Business, the property allows for the development of a high-rise office building, townhomes, or multifamily apartments without height restrictions. This provides an opportunity for a low land basis on a future building per square foot basis. The property falls within the Downtown Urban Design District (DUDD) overlay. An existing 8,940-square-foot warehouse can be leased out during the planning and design phases of a development project, potentially reducing the overall basis in the parcel.
Key Highlights
- Prime downtown Fort Worth development site, blocks from Sundance Square and the Central Business District.
- Large 10,150 sq ft lot (nearly quarter‑acre) offering substantial development potential.
- "H" Central Business zoning allows for high‑rise office, townhomes, or multifamily apartments with no height restrictions.
Financial Insights
Estimated NOI and Cap Rate
NOI = area × lease_rate × (100 − vacancy) / 100 × (1 − expense_ratio). Net Operating Income — what the owner takes home each year before mortgage payments and income tax. Effective rent (asking rent minus vacancy losses) minus operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management).
NOI / Yr
$61,894
Cap rate = NOI / list price × 100. Capitalization rate — annual return on a fully cash purchase, before financing. NOI divided by price. Higher means more income per dollar invested, but usually also more risk or older condition. 5–8% is typical for stabilized commercial property; double digits often signal distressed deals.
Cap Rate
4.50%
Suggested Prices Based on Cap Rates
Cap rates vary significantly by property type, market, and asset quality.
Typical U.S. stable-market ranges:
Multifamily — 4.5% to 6.5% (Class A in primary markets often sub-5%; Class C in secondary markets 6%+)
Industrial / Logistics — 5.0% to 7.0% (compressed heavily in recent years due to e-commerce demand)
Office — 6.5% to 9%+ (wide spread post-2020; CBD Class A vs. suburban Class B varies dramatically)
Retail — 5.5% to 8.5% (grocery-anchored on the low end, unanchored strip centers higher)
Hospitality / Hotels — 7.5% to 10%+ (higher due to operational risk)
Self-Storage — 5.5% to 7.5%
Medical Office — 6.0% to 7.5%
Net Lease (single tenant, credit) — 5.0% to 7.0% depending on tenant credit and lease term
Rules of thumb:
Primary markets (NYC, SF, LA, Boston, DC) trade at lower cap rates than secondary/tertiary markets, often by 100–200 bps (bps, aka basis points; 1 bp = 0.01%).
Class A assets trade ~50–150 bps tighter than Class B, and Class B tighter than Class C.
Cap rates move inversely with price — a lower cap rate means a higher price for the same NOI.
Spread to the 10-year Treasury is a common benchmark; historically 200–400 bps over the 10-year.
