Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This mixed-use commercial property is located within walking distance of Olde Town Arvada, situated on the corner of Zephyr and Ralston. Zoned for mixed-use, the property offers commercial and residential possibilities. The upper level features multiple entrances, including access from the west side parking area, the main sidewalk off Ralston, and the east side off Zephyr. Inside, there is a bright and open layout featuring an entry room on the east side that opens to a large living room/open area, a dining area or front desk space, and a small kitchen equipped with a gas stove, full refrigerator, dishwasher, kitchen sink, and countertop space. Behind the kitchen is a full bathroom with a tub and two large bedrooms, one with a large walk-in closet; these rooms could also serve as office spaces. The lower level, accessible from the upper level and also with exterior access from the west side and parking area, features a living room-type space, a large full kitchen, and a bonus room with a closet (but no window, so it is not currently set up as a bedroom), and a ¾ bathroom. Both spaces can be used as-is or built out to suit. Current zoning allows for a business, a residence, or a mixture of both. The dwelling features a newer roof, fresh interior paint, and recent maintenance work. The property size is 2199 square feet.

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
$30,423
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
4.75%
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.
