SRS Real Estate Partners Completes $3.65 Million Ground Lease Sale of Wawa-Occupied Property in Ocala, FL

Fort Lauderdale, FL (March 11, 2024) – SRS Real Estate Partners announced today it has completed the $3.65 million ground lease sale of a new construction single-tenant property occupied by Wawa. The property is located at 8300 SW 100th Street in Ocala, FL.

SRS Capital Markets Executive Vice President & Market Leader, Patrick Nutt and Senior Vice President William Wamble who are based in Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, FL, represented the seller, a Florida-based development group. The Arizona-based private buyer was in a 1031 exchange.

“Our team has sold more than 100 Wawa properties over the past five years – many of which were new construction like this asset,” said Nutt.  “Wawa remains the best-in-class operator in the C-store space and has a growing customer base year-after-year. Investors aggressively seek net-leased investments occupied by Wawa based upon their affinity for the brand, their long-term, passive lease structure and sterling credit profile.”

Situated on 2.25 acres, the 6,119-square-foot property has a 20-year corporate-guaranteed ground lease in place. The strategic, highly visible location is just off State Highway 200 with direct access to Interstate 75.
