Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This is a single-tenant, triple net (NNN) restaurant property offered for sale with a $90,000/year NNN lease in place. The current restaurant tenant is described as long-term and established, with a proven track record. The building and structure are reported to be in excellent condition, with recent exterior facade updates, a newer roof, and fully updated mechanical systems, including HVAC improvements intended to limit future capital expenditures.

The property is positioned in a high-visibility, high-traffic area, supporting consistent day-to-day customer access. As an NNN lease structure, it is designed to reduce landlord involvement by shifting many operational responsibilities to the tenant under the lease terms provided.

For investors or buyers seeking a hands-off income profile, this asset’s combination of a long-term restaurant tenant and NNN lease structure is a key consideration. The reported building upgrades—exterior facade updates, a newer roof, and updated mechanical systems—also address near-term maintenance planning from an ownership standpoint. Prospective purchasers should review the lease details and condition documentation during due diligence.

Key Highlights

  • $90,000/year Triple Net (NNN) lease in place with an established, single‑tenant restaurant
  • Recent exterior facade updates plus a newer roof
  • Fully updated mechanical systems, including HVAC (noted as helping limit future capital expenditures)

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
$51,889
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
6.10%
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.
