Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This turn-key bar and restaurant building offers nearly all-in-use operating space designed around a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. A roll-up garage door with windows opens the bar/restaurant to an outdoor patio, supporting flexible service and guest flow. The sale includes the operating business, all fixtures, and a valuable 3-way liquor license. On the back-of-house side, there is a large walk-in cooler to support food and beverage storage. The property is described as being beyond well maintained and ready for its next owner.
The property is located on Willowcreek Road just off the Indiana Toll Road exit, positioned for visibility in a high-traffic area. It is within walking distance to multiple hotels and surrounding businesses, placing it in a built-in customer corridor.
For buyers looking to acquire an operating hospitality concept rather than start from scratch, this offering combines a ready-to-run setup with the key elements that support day-to-day service: established interior and outdoor layout, complete fixture package, liquor license inclusion, on-site cold storage, and convenient paved parking for 60 vehicles. The configuration is well suited for a restaurant/bar operator seeking continuity and immediate operations.

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
$147,849
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
7.04%
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.
