Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

632 Park Avenue is a passive, single-tenant restaurant property leased to Applebee’s on an absolute NNN ground lease. The tenant assumes all obligations, including taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and replacements, leaving the landlord with zero management responsibility and zero capital expenditure exposure. The lease is guaranteed by Apple New England LLC/The Flynn Group, with the current term running through January 2030 and followed by four 5-year renewal options that extend potential occupancy to 2045.

The property is located in the Webster Square area of southwest Worcester at the intersection of Park Avenue and Main Street, with Park Avenue designated as Route 9. The corridor supports established retail activity, and the intersection location provides strong frontage and signage visibility.

The building was renovated in 2023 and sits on a 1.03-acre parcel within the dense Webster Square retail corridor, where single-tenant restaurant pads are tightly held.

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
$88,538
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
6.00%
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.
