Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This freestanding, approximately 1,536 square foot former automotive building is situated on a 1/4 acre lot in the Monon 16 district, located one block east of the Monon Trail and near the Bottleworks/Mass Ave/NorthMassBoulder district. The property is zoned C5 and suitable for restaurant, retail, automotive, and other uses, as well as residential redevelopment. It is adjacent to the recent $20 million Monon Lofts development. The Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development considers the site to be located on a "transportationally significant thoroughfare," which allows for less stringent parking ratios. An approximately 1,836 square foot stand-alone parcel at the northwest corner of Yandes and 16th Street could be acquired to square up the property. The Community Development Corporation (Renew Indy, Inc), which owns the parcel, is willing to sell it. The owner is willing to redevelop the property to suit a qualified operator and project. Up to 3,000 square feet of retail space is available for a long-term build-to-suit credit lease.

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
$16,528
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
3.34%
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.
