Blended cap rate of 3.83% sets record for the lowest cap rates for Chick-fil-A-occupied properties sold year-to-date in the Western United States.
Newport Beach, CA (May 16, 2023) – SRS Real Estate Partners’ National Net Lease Group (NNLG) announced today it has completed the ground lease acquisitions of two Chick-fil-A assets totaling approximately $15 million. The assets are located in the Southern California cities of Palm Desert and Mission Viejo. The blended closing cap rate was 3.83%, marking the lowest cap rates for Chick-fil-A-occupied properties sold year-to-date in the Western United States.
SRS NNLG’s Managing Principals Matthew Mousavi and Patrick Luther represented the private buyer who is out of Southern California.
“Chick-fil-A-occupied assets continue to be highly coveted and sought after by net lease investors as a leading brand within the quick-service-restaurant sector. We continue to transact this credit throughout the country in the 3% to 4% cap rate range, showing the resiliency of this product type and this segment of the buyer pool despite overall market cap rate movements,” said Mousavi. “Our SRS team successfully brought the buyer to these properties as part of a larger requirement placed on its behalf. The long-term intrinsic value of these Southern California sites combined with zero landlord responsibilities will provide a passive investment with scheduled rent escalations.”
