Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This offering includes a 0.689-acre commercial parcel with a 1,144 sq. ft. building. The property is listed as-is, where-is, and was built in 1940, so it will require further renovation or redevelopment to support an updated use. The transaction is supported by ZBA approvals for a new, expanded restaurant concept, with approvals covering items such as buffers, setbacks, and building location. The approvals are described as general right-to-impact approvals rather than a site plan tied to a single specific use.

The property is located at 266 Route 125 in Brentwood, NH, and is described as having strong traffic exposure, with over 17,000 vehicles passing daily. The parcel includes ample parking and prominent signage. The property is also noted as being just minutes from the Epping town line and Brickyard Square Retail Shops, with convenient access to Route 101 and connections to I-95 and I-93.

Zoning allows for multiple commercial uses beyond restaurants, including healthcare facilities, banks, offices, insurance agencies, real estate firms, law offices, contractor bays, and convenience stores, among others. For buyers or operators seeking a site that can accommodate a restaurant or other neighborhood-oriented commercial use, the combination of on-site parking, visibility, and development-friendly ZBA approvals may support a range of redevelopment approaches. The seller has provided an attached engineering report for additional information.

Key Highlights

  • 0.689‑acre parcel with 1,144 sq. ft. 1940‑built restaurant building
  • ZBA approvals for a new, expanded restaurant concept (not a site plan approval for a specific use)
  • Zoning allows many uses, including restaurants, healthcare facilities, banks, offices, insurance agencies, real estate firms, law offices, and convenience stores

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
$21,761
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
7.51%
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.
