Based on property information with market context.
Located on Castle Hayne Road in Castle Hayne, North Carolina, this property features 3.16 acres with two metal buildings totaling approximately 9,000 square feet. Originally built in 1982 for the Castle Hayne Volunteer Fire Department, the buildings are currently occupied by New Hanover County Emergency Services, which will be relocating at the end of 2025. The front building, spanning 6,954 square feet, includes eight 12’x12’ electric grade-level drive-in doors providing drive-thru access, a clear-span garage with a 15ft eave height and 23ft center height, a small office, a large open meeting room, a full-service kitchen, three restrooms (one with a shower), a workout/storage area, and an additional rear corner kitchen with a three-compartment steel sink. The dimensions of the front building are 114ft wide x 61ft deep. The rear building, encompassing 2,000 square feet, offers three 12’x12’ electric grade-level drive-in front-loaded doors and a clear-span heated garage with a 14ft eave height and 22ft center height.

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
$128,565
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
5.14%
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.
