The Boulder Group’s Sale of Trophy CVS Property Sets Record Cap Rate


The Boulder Group, a net leased investment brokerage firm, has completed the sale of a single tenant triple net leased CVS property located at 5920 West Park Boulevard in Plano, Texas for $10,202,589. This trophy property was sold at a 4.82% cap rate which is the lowest cap rate for a drug store property sold in 2015 outside of California according to Real Capital Analytics.

The 13,146 square foot CVS building is located in Plano, an affluent northern suburb of Dallas. The property is strategically located at the heavily trafficked signalized intersection of West Park Boulevard and Parkwood Boulevard. This signalized intersection experiences traffic volumes of approximately 50,000 vehicles per day. Additionally, the property is benefited by its proximity to the North Dallas Tollway. There are approximately 300,000 people living within a five mile radius of the property earning average annual household incomes in excess of $108,000.

The CVS is situated in a vibrant retail corridor which features Costco, Walmart Supercenter, SuperTarget, Home Depot and the Willow Bend Mall (which is anchored by Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, Dillard’s & Apple). Further contributing to the strength of this retail corridor is the presence of Ikea which is located approximately five miles north of the property.

Randy Blankstein and Jimmy Goodman of The Boulder Group represented the seller in the transaction; a Midwest based private partnership. The purchaser was a high net worth individual in a 1031 Exchange.

There are approximately 21 years remaining on the absolute triple net CVS lease. The lease features a 5% rental escalation in each of the six 5-year renewal option periods. CVS is an investment grade rated tenant (S&P: BBB+) and is publicly traded with a market capitalization in excess of $113 billion.

“The property’s superior location within a core market allowed The Boulder Group to achieve a historic cap rate for this sale” said Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group.  Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group, added, “While single tenant properties are selling in all types of locations; core markets, like Dallas, are at the forefront of investor demand.”
