Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
The property is a 0.78-acre parcel improved with two structures: a 1,723 SF building and a 10,041 SF showroom and auto repair building. It is currently utilized as a car dealership with auto repair services. The site sits on a local commercial and office district zoning designation ("G"). Three curb cuts provide access from the North, West, and South sides of the property.
Located in South St. Louis within the Tower Grove South neighborhood, the property is positioned at the intersection of Kingshighway and Oleatha. The intersection is signalized, supporting visibility and convenient turning access for customer traffic. The site also benefits from traffic counts of 30,000 vehicles per day on Kingshighway.
For prospective buyers and operators, the existing showroom and auto repair configuration supports automotive-related uses and related servicing. Multiple curb cuts and a corner, signalized location can help streamline customer flow and delivery/vehicle movement across the site, while the two-building setup offers flexibility for dealership operations and complementary activities within the same parcel.

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
$46,278
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
3.43%
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.
