Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
450 Colfax Avenue is a ±4,308 SF two-story commercial building on a ±0.27-acre corner lot at Colfax Avenue and Stennett Street, directly across from Grass Valley's Memorial Park. Originally built in 1933 and rebuilt top to bottom in 2008–2009, the property features updated roof, HVAC, gutters, and sewer systems. The heavy infrastructure for food service remains in place, including an oversized gas service, substantial electrical capacity, floor drains, dedicated kitchen ventilation, and a Kohler standby generator.
The second floor offers an open hall with vaulted ceilings, wide-plank pine floors, and a granite-topped service bar. It connects to an oversized wraparound terrace through a wall of glass doors, providing direct park views. The ground floor includes a second large open room with stained concrete floors and exposed timber, supported by a roll-up door for loading and deliveries and dedicated storage.
Three restrooms serve the two levels, and the concrete-paved 22-space on-site lot provides parking. NEC zoning permits a broad range of uses, including restaurant, office, retail, or residential conversion up to four units.

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
$52,342
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
6.81%
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.
