The Boulder Group, a net leased investment
brokerage firm specializing in single tenant assets, has completed the sale of
a single tenant McDonald’s ground lease located at the intersection of Wabash
Avenue & Archer Elevator Road in Springfield, Illinois for $978,260.
McDonald’s
property is located on a 1.26 acre parcel and the building was constructed in
2013. The property is located along Wabash Avenue, a primary east-west
thoroughfare in the area, which has a direct access interchange with Interstate
72 less than one mile from the property. Nearby retailers include AMC Theaters,
Buffalo Wild Wings, and multiple car dealerships. Residents living within three
miles of the property have annual household income in excess of $87,000.
McDonald’s
has a new twenty year ground lease with rental escalations throughout the lease
term. McDonald’s is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange
(MCD) with a market capitalization of $100 billion. McDonald’s is an investment
grade rate company with a Standard & Poor’s rating of A and has over 33,000
restaurants nationwide.
Randy
Blankstein and Jimmy Goodman of The Boulder Group represented the purchaser in
the transaction; an east coast based high net worth individual. The seller was
an Illinois based developer.
“The market for McDonald’s ground leases remains active as
investors are attracted to investment grade tenanted properties with long term
leases under $2 million dollars.” said Randy Blankstein, President of
The Boulder Group. Jimmy Goodman,
Partner of The Boulder Group, added, “The lack of
newly developed single tenant properties has caused cap rates to decrease for
assets similar to this particular McDonald’s transaction.”
