Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The offering consists of 1273-1279 S Cherokee Street, a multi-tenant industrial/flex property configured as small-bay units. The site includes multiple drive-in and loading points, along with generous yard and parking areas intended to support day-to-day logistics and on-site operations. Zoning is I-B, UO-2, and while the existing improvements are functional, the offering is positioned primarily as a land redevelopment opportunity.

The property sits on a corner lot at Cherokee Street and Louisiana Avenue in Denver’s Santa Fe/Mississippi industrial corridor within the Overland neighborhood. The remarks note convenient access to major highways and Denver’s central business district, and also describe the location as within walking distance of the I-25 & Broadway RTD light rail station. The surrounding area is described as actively transforming, including the Gates District at Broadway Station and additional planned activity in the broader Santa Fe Yards area.

For tenants and investors, the current configuration provides small-bay industrial/flex space with short-term occupancy described as 2–3 years and generating gross income of approximately $17,260 per month. For buyers evaluating redevelopment, the land is presented as the primary value driver, making the site most suitable for infill re-use and future repositioning in a closely connected transit-and-industrial setting.

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
$192,639
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
4.94%
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.
