Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This well-built strip retail center at 488-498 Canal Street in Nelsonville, OH consists of multiple retail spaces within a single property. The center is fully leased, with tenants in place as of the listing’s request to not disturb occupants. The property includes a concrete parking lot that supports day-to-day customer access and on-site parking.

The asset is offered for sale as a turn-key rental opportunity, and the listing references an 8.7% cap rate. The property size is reported at 6,000 square feet, and it is presented as a consolidated retail building rather than a single-tenant storefront.

For buyers and investors seeking a stabilized retail holding, the fully leased status and maintained on-site parking are the primary operational takeaways. Retail tenants benefit from operating within a dedicated retail center configuration, while an ownership group can manage the property as one package. Please note that tenants are currently in place, and access for showings would require coordination in advance.

Key Highlights

  • Strip retail center at 488‑498 Canal Street

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
$42,502
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
6.86%
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.
