Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
The Alvord School presents a significant redevelopment opportunity in Santa Fe's urban core. This approximately 2.9-acre infill parcel is located adjacent to the Santa Fe Railyard, a mixed-use cultural district. The existing building, totaling approximately 30,760 square feet, was originally constructed in 1931 and expanded through the 1970s. The Business Capital District (BCD) zoning designation offers flexibility for various uses, including hotel/hospitality, office/medical/dental, educational facilities, nonprofit or institutional headquarters, residential (multifamily, condominiums, live/work), retail, café, restaurant, service commercial, cultural uses (museums, galleries, performing arts), and religious and assembly use. Development is governed by height zones and Master Plan parameters. The Santa Fe Railyard is a nationally recognized arts, culture, and mixed-use district that includes the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market, Violet Crown Cinema, SITE Santa Fe, El Museo Cultural, Railyard Plaza + Public Green, REI, Rail Trail + Santa Fe Depot. The property offers transit-oriented development potential with walkability to transit, proximity to amenities, reduced parking requirements, and integration with a mixed-use environment. Extensive entitlements, including the Alvord Master Plan, archaeological clearance, and pre-reviewed infrastructure, reduce planning risk and development timelines. This property is a rare opportunity for hospitality, residential, mixed-use, institutional, medical, or educational redevelopment.

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
$286,218
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
3.49%
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.
