Triple Net lease Property Sells for over $4MM

Triple Net Lease Market



Triple Net lease Property Sells for over $4MM

Although triple net leased acquisitions are hard to find in in the greater Washington DC market, Betty Friant, Vice President at Calkain Companies, recently brokered the sale of a triple net leased day care facility in Gainesville, VA for just over $4 million at a very attractive 8.64% cap.

The tenant signed a new absolute triple net lease on the 10,530+/- square foot state-of-the-art facility located near the entrance of the private Lake Manassas Development with its signature Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. Betty Friant exclusively represented the developer/landlord in the transaction. The property was introduced to the market with corporate and personal guarantees and a 15 year lease term with annual escalations beginning in year three.

“Day Care facilities provide a very attractive investment,” said Friant. “With McDonald’s and other credit tenants on the market in the 4% to 5% cap rate range, the 8.5+% cap on a day care gives investors another option. The fundamentals of the underlying real estate are important in the acquisition of a day care as they are with any real estate purchase, so a great location and market rents are crucial,” she added. Calkain currently has other day care facilities on the market for sale in the 7.5% to 8.5% cap rate range.

It is the more representative of the primary market in trends and pricing even though it is a hub for retail commercial real estate and reporting, its’ behavior is an exception to the majority of Midwest’s  NNN lease market.
As a whole, the Midwest sector is underserved and largely untapped in the NNN leased niche. There are virtually no firms specifically working on the NNN assets for this market.  The majority of the investment grade listings are picked up by out of state brokers who may not be cognizant of the intricacies of the Midwest investor mindset and region particulars.

Triple Net Lease Market  News
Reston, VA, – Calkain Companies, a national real estate investment brokerage firm, represented both seller and buyer on a cobranded Walgreens (NYSE:WAG) and PNC Bank (NYSE:PNC) ground lease in Fairfax, VA. The transaction sold for $13,800,000 which equated to the largest net leased retail transaction in the Washington, DC area in the last several years.  The sale price represented a 5.90% capitalization rate which is indicative of the reach that Calkain Companies has to match investors with sound real estate investments.
Jeff Bogart, Tax Strategy Specialist of Calkain Companies, represented both the buyer and seller.  “Ground leases are not as prevalent as fee simple properties and as such, demand is high for Walgreens (Standard and Poors: A+) and PNC Bank (Standard and Poors: A+) quality of credit coupled with the added security of ground lease ownership. Both leases had rental increases every 5 years, which, in comparison to typical Walgreens’ leases, made this property more unique in today’s market. The intrinsic value of the real estate also helped drive the cap rate to 2007 levels as it is located in Fairfax County, Virginia - which has a top 10 national ranking for median household income, at well over $110,000. The buyer, an undisclosed, due to confidentiality agreements, local investor considered himself fortunate to secure such a quality asset.”
