Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Located in Ocean View, Delaware, this 2-acre C-1 zoned property is minutes from Route 26, providing a direct corridor to Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island, Millville, and Dagsboro. The primary building, constructed around 2019, offers approximately 7,500 square feet of fully insulated space suitable for showroom, office, or conditioned storage use. It features six-inch spray foam insulation in the walls, blown-in ceiling insulation, and three high-efficiency HVAC systems. The layout includes a showroom floor, office space, a lounge area, two fully ADA-compliant bathrooms, and a lofted workspace and storage area. A loading dock with handicap ramp and a 12x14 overhead door facilitate movement of goods. A roughly 4,000 square foot secondary building expands the operational capacity. Configured as a four-bay shop with four 12x14 electric garage doors and 16-foot ceiling heights, it is ideal for service-based businesses, light industrial use, or additional warehouse and distribution needs. An upper-level loft provides additional storage and workspace. The site has a paved lot with ample space for large trucks and trailers, and is fully fenced with an aluminum sliding gate. Stormwater management is installed underground. Public sewer and well water are in place, along with 200-amp electric service. C-1 zoning allows for distribution, office, warehouse, light industrial, retail, and dealership opportunities. The property is positioned to support multiple business models while allowing for long-term flexibility as the market grows.

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
$107,281
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
5.59%
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.
