Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This for-sale commercial building is designed to support flexible retail and professional use. The property includes an elevator and a drive-in door/garage, along with lighted parking for tenant and customer convenience. The building is presented in strong condition, with features aimed at accommodating both storefront activity and interior office operations.
Situated along the Hwy 169 retail corridor, the location is positioned to benefit from established retail surroundings and roadway visibility. The combination of a storefront-type setting and on-site access features can support a range of day-to-day business needs, including deliveries and back-of-house movement through the drive-in opening.
For tenants, buyers, or operators looking for a single property that can function as either retail space, office space, or a combination of both, this building offers practical physical attributes for that mix. The elevator supports interior accessibility, while the drive-in door/garage and lighted parking help streamline customer and employee arrivals and service access. This makes the property worth consideration for users seeking an adaptable layout in a corridor retail setting.

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
$69,229
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
3.51%
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.
