Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This mixed-use commercial building totals 12,456 sq. ft. and is currently gutted, offering a clean interior for a new buildout. A brand-new roof has recently been installed, helping reduce near-term exterior replacement needs while the property is repositioned for its next use.

The property is located at 21590 Greenfield Road in Oak Park, MI 48237, directly across the street from the $400 million Northland Development Project. The proximity to an active redevelopment site supports visibility for a range of neighborhood-oriented concepts, while the B-2 zoning provides flexibility for how the site can be programmed.

B-2 zoning is approved for commercial or mixed-use development, allowing ground-floor retail with upper-level residential, or an all-commercial configuration such as retail and office space. The existing gutted condition can help streamline a tenant or owner’s design and permitting approach compared with properties that require extensive interior demolition. The building’s renovation-ready state, combined with the recently replaced roof, makes it a practical choice for developers, investors, or operators looking to build out a customized retail or mixed-use product.

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
$42,880
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
7.09%
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.
