Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This offering includes two separate, side-by-side buildings totaling 22,803 SF on a 1.1-acre corner lot. The property features 3,000 SF of HVAC office spaces and five ground-level doors, supporting a range of light industrial and warehousing needs. Clear heights are approximately 15 to 16 feet, providing practical vertical utility for storage and operations. Electrical service is substantial, with 15,672 listed at 800 amps (277/480 volts) and 5,281 listed at 400 amps (277/480 volts).

The buildings are positioned together along Chemical Ln and Research Dr, presenting convenient access points for receiving, loading, and day-to-day operations. Because the properties are offered together, buyers can evaluate the combined site layout for integrated staffing and workflow across both structures.

For tenants or owner-users, the combination of ground-level loading, usable clear height, and dedicated HVAC office space can support businesses that need both storage and administrative space. The two-building configuration may also appeal to operators looking for flexible space planning while keeping operations on a single corner site.

Key Highlights

  • Two side‑by‑side flex/industrial buildings offered together with 22,803 SF total on a 1.1‑acre corner lot
  • 3,000 SF HVAC office spaces across the buildings
  • 5 ground‑level doors for drive‑in access

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
$371,783
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
4.13%
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.
