Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This property is currently configured as a cocktail lounge with multiple guest and staff areas. The first floor features a main bar with seating for more than 15 patrons, a second bar with seating for 8+, two well-appointed restrooms, and a back-of-house work area supported by utilities for a full kitchen. An additional outdoor bar provides a shaded space for guests.

The building sits on a large lot and is positioned on a main thoroughfare in Port Aransas, near city department buildings, the Civic Center, and the ferry landing at the entry to town. Parking accommodates more than 22 vehicles, and the outdoor area offers room to expand. A metal building on-site provides an open-slate option for a future business concept.

With both customer-facing space and functional support areas, this setup can fit a hospitality operator looking for an existing bar configuration, or a buyer planning to repurpose portions of the facility. The second floor includes office space and a private apartment with a full bath, which may appeal to owner-operators or tenants seeking on-site living. Nearby amenities and the ferry-area access can support businesses that benefit from regular town traffic.

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
$54,724
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
3.92%
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.
