Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This 5,261 SF building is currently 100% leased and used as private art studios. The space is designed to inspire and perform, featuring 20-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and large windows and doors, creating an open and energizing environment suitable for creative, studio, office, or production uses. The property offers flexibility for an owner-user or investor, with the option to occupy half the space while leasing the remainder for income. It includes two private outdoor areas: a private patio accessible from the interior and a second patio for shared use. Located within an Enterprise Zone, the property offers financial incentives, including a city match of up to $25,000 for exterior improvements. All major updates were completed in 2017. Qualified projects may benefit from reduced development costs, accelerated permitting, and rebates on permit fees and sales/use taxes for construction materials. Advantages include workforce hiring and training assistance, executive relocation support, and supply chain referrals. The city’s Enterprise Zone designation provides state income tax credits for new equipment purchases, job creation, and RD expenditures, along with exemptions on state sales/use tax for manufacturing equipment. Businesses may also access the Commercial Catalyst Program for façade and signage improvements as well as energy cost savings through utility incentive programs.

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
$92,259
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
8.84%
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.
