Case Study – Record Single Tenant NNN Sale Price/PSF; Development Presale

Location: 137 Serramonte Ctr, Daly City, CA

Background:

  1. Former Union 76 gas station site; main entrance pad to Serramonte Center (major regional power center, premium Bay Area Peninsula location).
  2. Subject property was the only pad not owned by the REIT that owns Serramonte Center; REIT offered to purchase the subject property for $5M ($221/PSF – land value).

Advisory and Services Rendered:

  1. Advised client to find a tenant and determine if ground lease or build to suit option would maximize disposition value versus an outright land sale.
  2. Fully negotiated Verizon Wireless corporate lease on behalf of the client, including overcoming significant environmental, construction/delivery, over market rent, and city related issues.
  3. Provided fee development oversight to ensure entitlement, building department, and construction matters were in sync with tenant’s timing/expectations.
  4. Marketed the property for sale prior to construction being complete and tenant accepting delivery of the premises (creative marketing and deal structure).

Results:

  1. Delivered brand new corporate Verizon Wireless NNN 10-Year Lease, 4,500 square foot, newly constructed build to suit, net operating income of $528,510 ($9.79/PSF).
  2. Total costs for construction, leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc. (approximately $2M).
  3. Sold to Bay Area based, 1031 exchange buyer with local outside broker representation for $10,050,000 (5.25% cap; $2,233/PSF). The price per square foot set a national record for a stand-alone single tenant NNN leased retail investment.
  4. Net sale proceeds to the client was over $8,500,000 after construction costs vs. the original $5M “as-is” sale to the REIT that owns Serramonte Center- a $3.5M delta, or 70% in additional value generated.
