Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This is a five-story building with approximately 110,445 square feet of space, situated on approximately 6.49 acres. Developed in 2004, the property is currently leased to the State of Georgia for The Georgia Department of Children and Family Services. The original lease was for 15 years, and in 2019, it was renewed for 20 years, leaving 14 years remaining. The tenant may remain longer due to a property tax exemption structure resulting in below-market rent. The Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) provides support services and programs for citizens of Savannah and Chatham County, including ensuring the safety of children, finding foster and adoptive homes, and assisting out-of-work parents. They also administer SNAP, Medicaid, and TNAF assistance programs. The property is located in Savannah, Georgia, a high-growth metro area with a strong economy, tourism, and population expansion.

Key Highlights

  • 14‑year lease remaining with the State of Georgia.
  • Tenant enjoys below‑market rent due to a property tax exemption structure.
  • Located in Savannah, a high‑growth metro area with strong economic fundamentals.

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
$1,535,489
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
7.58%
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.
