Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This two-story commercial building offers approximately 3,569 square feet of functional flex space with a layout built around vehicle access and on-site service. The upper level includes two drive-in bays, a private office, and a convenient half bath. A vehicle lift, air compressor, and select shop tools may be included through negotiation, supporting an owner-user or investor seeking immediate operational capability. The lower level adds additional flexibility with two more drive-in bays, two private offices, and a propane hookup in the shop area.

The property is situated at the highly visible corner of North Main Street and Fluvanna Ave. It has drive-through workflow with four overhead doors in total, designed for efficient vehicle and equipment movement. North Main Street is described as a major commercial corridor with four lanes and strong daily traffic counts, and it connects directly to Interstate 86.

With multiple drive-in bays on both levels and several office spaces for coordination and customer or administrative needs, the building can accommodate automotive service and repair, contractor or fabrication workflows, distribution and storage, and potential mixed-use showroom operations, subject to tenant requirements. The corner setting and access-oriented design make it practical for businesses that rely on convenient vehicle ingress and visibility.

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
$31,067
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
7.79%
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.
