for $1,300,000.
The PNC

The property is located along US 24 and benefits from its position on the hard
corner of a signalized intersection. The property is located within the primary
retail trade area that includes retailers such as Wal-Mart Supercenter,
Menards, Kroger, Tractor Supply, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts and Dollar

Randy Blankstein
and Jimmy Goodman of The Boulder Group represented the seller in the
transaction; a West Coast based private investor. The purchaser was a Midwest
based 1031 Exchange investor.
The PNC Bank ground
lease expires in December 2028 and features 14% rental escalations every five
years throughout the primary term and renewal options. There are three 10-year
renewal option periods. PNC is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock
Exchange with a market capitalization in excess of $42 Billion.
“The
market for long term ground leases remains active as these assets are highly
sought after amongst private investors” said Randy Blankstein, President of The
Boulder Group. Jimmy Goodman, Partner of
The Boulder Group, added, “While the majority of
single tenant investment activity is focused on core markets, we are starting
to see investors focus primarily on the quality of the tenant rather than the
top tier locations.”
