Located at 8030 Imperial Highway in Downey, Calif., the 12,255-square-foot freestanding building (including a drive-thru) leased to Walgreens is situated on a 0.98-acre parcel of land and was built in 2011. The tenant has a brand new 25-year NNN lease. The buyer, a private investor from Palm Desert, Calif., was represented by Jeremy S. McChesney of Hanley Investment Group. The seller, Downey 1 Partners, LLC from Seal Beach, Calif., was represented by Art Flores of CBRE in Newport Beach, Calif. The purchase price was $8,068,000.

“Single-tenant Walgreens continue to be a preferred investment for buyers seeking a safe place to put their money in today’s commercial real estate market,” said Jeremy S. McChesney, senior vice president at Hanley Investment Group.

William B. Asher and McChesney represented the buyer in the sale of a single-tenant NNN leased investment in Tucson, Ariz. Located at 1880 E. Irvington Road in Tucson, the 14,490-square-foot freestanding building leased to Walgreens is situated on 1.70 acres and was built in 2002. The tenant has 15 years remaining on the NNN lease. The purchase price was $5,190,000, representing a 6.70% capitalization rate.

“The buyer was specifically attracted to this particular location in Tucson because of its strong store sales and the high population density in the immediate surrounding area,” said William B. Asher, managing director at Hanley Investment Group.

“We were able to arrange very attractive financing for a Walgreens lease that had over 15 years remaining on the initial term,” said McChesney.

“The fixed-term rate, loan to value and amortization that were procured were the most aggressive we have seen in the marketplace in recent months and helped the buyer achieve his return goals,” said Asher. Alex Chenarides at Barry Slatt Mortgage of Los Angeles, Calif. facilitated the financing.
