The Boulder Group Arranges Sale of a Net Leased CVS Property in Orlando, FL

The Boulder Group, a net leased investment brokerage firm, has completed the sale of a single tenant CVS property located at 1201 E Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida for $2,675,000.

CVS is the sole occupant of the 10,767 square foot retail building that was developed in 1996. The property is positioned at a signalized intersection which experiences traffic volumes in excess of 73,500 vehicles per day. The property is located within close proximity to downtown Orlando in a dense area with over 260,000 people living within five miles. CVS benefits from its location in a retail trade area anchored by three retail power centers; Orlando Fashion Square, Colonial Plaza and Colonial Marketplace. Nearby retailers include Target, Publix, Macy’s, Dillard’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, and LA Fitness. The CVS has a drive-thru and is a strong performing store with a low rent to sales ratio.

Randy Blankstein and Jimmy Goodman of The Boulder Group represented the both parties in the transaction; the seller was a private individual based in the Midwest and the buyer was private individual based on the East Coast.

CVS had four years remaining on the initial lease term at the point of sale. CVS is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (CVS), with a market capitalization of $76 billion. CVS is an investment grade rated company with a Standard & Poor’s rating of BBB+ that has over 7,400 stores nationwide.

“The market for net leased CVS properties with shorter term leases and strong sales remains active as investors are attracted to the higher yield these assets generate.” said Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group. Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group, added, “Core market single tenant assets with solid real estate fundamentals continue to be in the greatest demand.”
