Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This property is a former Speedway/7-Eleven gas station offered for sale as a corner commercial site. The asset includes a large concrete parking area designed for customer accessibility, along with multiple vehicle entrances for convenient site access. The configuration supports straightforward customer flow and flexible use depending on redevelopment or re-tenanting plans.
The site sits at the corner of S. Boston Road and Williamson Road in Danville, Virginia, described as being in one of the area’s busiest corridors. Public remarks indicate over 27,000 vehicles passing daily, and the property is positioned to serve traffic from both roads. There are four total entrances, with two off S. Boston Road and two off Williamson Road, and a crossover that provides ingress and egress from multiple directions.
For operators, the site’s corner visibility and multi-directional access can support convenience retail, automotive-related use, or other retail concepts that benefit from strong drive-by exposure and easy parking. For investors or developers, the property’s established commercial presence and prominent street-corner placement may be attractive for reuse or redevelopment plans, subject to applicable approvals and use requirements.

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
$35,383
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
4.88%
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.
