Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The property includes two parcels totaling 9.56 acres, featuring an older 7,500-square-foot warehouse that is currently leased on a month-to-month basis. The listing notes preliminary plans for commercial development are available, providing a starting point for future expansion or redevelopment while the existing structure remains in place.

Located at 3245 Route 115 in Effort, Pennsylvania, the site offers 598 feet of road frontage on busy PA Route 115. The remarks describe it as positioned between Interstate 80 and PA Route 33 for visibility and accessibility. The property is bordered by Dollar General and a commercial retail plaza on each side.

For buyers and developers, the combination of significant frontage and an income-producing, month-to-month warehouse can support multiple strategies, depending on how you plan to use the site over time. The seller is requesting that the existing tenant not be disturbed, and details on the included parcels (02.14.1.7-6 and 02.94603) are available for due diligence.

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
$53,139
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
6.26%
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.
