lease located at 630 Machesney Road in Machesney Park, Illinois for $880,000.
Burger
King is the sole occupant of the 3,501 square foot retail building that is
located on a 1.34 acre parcel. Burger King has a long standing operating
history at this property and is committed to this location as evidenced by
their recent execution of a new twenty year lease. The property is located at a
signalized intersection along a primary north-south thoroughfare with traffic
counts in excess of 25,000 vehicles per day. Rockford is the largest city in
Illinois outside of the Chicago MSA.
Burger
King has nineteen years of lease term remaining on their ground lease that
features 10% rental escalations every five years. The lease is guaranteed by a
successful local franchisee that has been operating at this location since
1986.
Randy
Blankstein and Jimmy Goodman of The Boulder Group represented the seller in the
transaction. The seller was a Midwest based real estate investor and the buyer
was a private investor in a 1031 exchange.
“The market for net leased properties priced under $1 million
remains active as these assets are in high demand among private investors.” said
Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group. Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group,
added, “Passive investors are purchasing ground
leases as an inflationary hedge, as most ground leases provide rental
escalations throughout the lease term.”
