Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
A two-story masonry and steel office building offering separate entrances for each floor. The property includes large windows for strong natural light, attractive interior finishes, and fire sprinklers. The building is supported by three power meters, and it has seen meaningful capital improvements including replaced HVAC systems within the past five years, a new roof coating recently installed, windows that were re-glazed last year, and rooftop solar installed at a reported $52,000 cost. The building’s exterior and major systems position it for continued office use with reduced operating friction.
Situated in downtown Brunswick, the property is located just behind the historic Ritz Theater. On-site parking is available with nine spaces, plus additional street parking nearby. The surrounding area provides convenient access to restaurants, banks, shops, and other offices within steps of the building.
This property can appeal to owner-users and investors alike. It may be purchased with flexibility depending on tenancy, as the ground floor currently has month-to-month office tenants who are willing to stay or vacate. Alternatively, the building may be marketed as fully vacant for a buyer seeking control over space for repositioning, with the upper floor benefiting from its history as law and architecture offices.

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
$48,859
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.
