Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Two separately deeded office condominium units are available within Building B of Old Lee Plaza. Located in the heart of Fairfax City, the units include 1,308 SF on the ground floor and 1,274 SF directly above, offered together. The combined space of 2,582 SF is zoned CR for professional office use. Both units are vacant and available for immediate occupancy or lease-up, with no existing tenants or transition period. Each unit has its own tax parcel and condo documents, allowing them to be held, leased, or sold independently. This stacked configuration is suitable for a growing professional services firm needing functional separation, such as client-facing space on one floor and administrative or back-office functions on the other. CR zoning accommodates various professional users, including attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors, insurance professionals, property managers, and healthcare practitioners, without special exceptions or additional approvals. Fairfax City's professional services market supports office rents in the $24 to $28 per SF range, with stabilized income across both units projected at $62,000 to $72,000 annually. The two-parcel structure preserves future optionality, allowing the holder to collect income or sell each unit independently into a submarket with consistent owner-user demand.
Key Highlights
- Combined 2,582 SF of CR‑zoned professional office space in Fairfax City.
- Two separately deeded units offer flexibility to lease or sell independently.
- Vacant units allow for immediate occupancy or lease‑up with no transition period.
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
$22,791
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
7.24%
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.
