Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This mixed-use property spans 1.83 acres across two parcels and includes an 8,516-square-foot main building with a lobby, assembly room, meeting or classroom areas, administrative offices, and a central restroom core. The upper level contains a 2-bedroom apartment, while a separate three-bay garage adds functional support space. Paved parking, site lighting, and adaptable interior areas serve the existing configuration.

The property is positioned along Sonoma Hwy with estimated traffic of 33,000 AADT and is near Montgomery Village, Spring Lake, schools, and shopping. City of Santa Rosa water and sewer serve the site, with an 8-inch sewer line along the northern edge. Infrastructure includes 400-amp electrical service, natural gas, packaged HVAC units on the lower level, and mini-split systems upstairs.

R-3-18 zoning and a Medium Density Residential General Plan designation support exploration of housing redevelopment, while continued similar use may be considered under the City’s non-conforming use provisions.

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
$120,239
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
5.87%
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.
