Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire the newly rebranded One of a Kind Market, a fully renovated former liquor store situated along a high-visibility Detroit corridor. The sale encompasses the real estate, all equipment, and a transferable Wayne County SDD liquor license. Strategically positioned on busy W. McNichols Road, near the University of Detroit Mercy and close to the former Marygrove College campus, the location benefits from consistent traffic from students, faculty, and the surrounding neighborhood. The property features approximately 4,800 square feet, providing excellent street presence and strong daily drive-by exposure. A nearby signalized intersection improves access and visibility. The site includes eight parking spaces for customer convenience. This is an asset sale. The business is currently closed, presenting a new owner with the chance to relaunch under their own brand or continue operations as a liquor store, market, or specialty retail concept. Potential business uses include a liquor store serving the college and surrounding residential market, a neighborhood market or grocery store, a convenience store, a specialty food store, or a retail concept targeting the student population.
Key Highlights
- Includes real estate, all equipment, and a transferable Wayne County SDD liquor license.

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
$63,344
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
6.33%
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.
