The 4,700 square foot Hooters property is strategically located in a regional retail destination that includes Target, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Lowe’s, Kohl’s and Best Buy. The Hooters is positioned as an outparcel to a Home Depot and is located near Interstate 90.

Randy Blankstein and Jimmy Goodman of The Boulder Group represented both the purchaser and seller in the transaction. The purchaser was a private high net worth investor and the seller was a Midwest based developer.

There are over five years remaining on the corporately guaranteed Hooters lease. The lease features no landlord responsibilities and 10% rental escalations every five years.

“Properties priced below $2 million with corporate guarantees continue to garner significant interest amongst private investors” said Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group.  Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group, added, “As there is a limited amount of long term core assets on the market, some net lease investors are seeking assets with shorter term leases in strong retail corridors for higher yields.”

The Boulder Group Arranges Sale of Net Leased Seasons Inpatient Hospice Facility


The Boulder Group, a net leased investment brokerage firm, has completed the sale of a single tenant Seasons Inpatient Hospice property located at 2195 West Diehl Road in Naperville, IL for $5,342,857.

The recently constructed 10,342 square foot Seasons Inpatient Hospice facility is strategically located along Diehl Road in the affluent suburb of Naperville. The property is benefitted by its proximity to Interstate 88 and Route 59.

This Seasons Inpatient Hospice location received the last issued license in the state of Illinois for an inpatient hospice facility in an area with a population of 200,000 to 700,000, providing for substantial barriers to entry. Seasons Hospice Inpatient and Palliative Care is a for-profit hospice operator. With the aging population in the United States, the hospice industry is poised for future success. By 2030, the total percentage of the population aged 65 and older is projected to increase by 60% to a total of 20% of all Americans.

Randy Blankstein and Jimmy Goodman of The Boulder Group represented the seller in the transaction; a private real estate corporation. The purchaser was a 1031 exchange investor from California.

There are over seven years remaining on the Seasons Inpatient Hospice lease which expires in January 2023. The lease features annual rental escalations and no landlord responsibilities. Seasons Inpatient Hospice is the 4th largest hospice company in the United States.

“Properties featuring annual rental escalations continue to be highly sought after amongst the investor community as they provide an inflationary hedge” said Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group.  Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group, added, “We are seeing many investors turn their attention to medical properties as they are highly resistant to e-commerce.”
