Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This property is a fully operational, turnkey restaurant offering 3,693 square feet of space designed to support ongoing restaurant operations. The existing layout can also support related service uses such as catering or banquet-style events, giving an operator multiple ways to run the business from day one. The site is set on a 0.73-acre lot with ample on-site parking, and the grounds provide room for outdoor seating and potential expansion or redevelopment.

Located along the high-traffic Groesbeck corridor in Clinton Township, the property benefits from strong day-to-day visibility associated with a major commuting route. The combination of a dedicated restaurant facility, on-site parking, and the site’s size positions it well for both continued food service operations and alternative commercial uses.

The property is zoned OS-1 Office/Service Low-Rise District, which supports a broad range of potential tenant or user applications. In addition to restaurant or carry-out use, the zoning accommodates concepts such as catering hall, medical or professional office, and retail, along with other service and mixed-use options consistent with OS-1. For a buyer or owner-user, it offers immediate restaurant continuity while also providing flexibility for a future change of use if desired.

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
$48,397
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
6.20%
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.
