$1.34MM Sale of Richmond, VA Dollar General Store


Calkain Companies’, a national real estate investment brokerage firm, recently sold a Dollar General (NYSE: DG) net lease investment property located in Richmond, VA. The transaction closed within the past 30 days, and illustrated the compressing cap rates within the net lease segment of the market. The seller was a regional real estate development and management company based in the Southeast. As a preferred developer for Dollar General, the same seller used Calkain to procure similar sales in Madison, VA and Ferrum, VA within the past 60 days. These Dollar General properties were recently developed as part of Dollar General’s built-to-suit program, and the stores have brand new 15-year triple net leases, which provide passive income for the new owner.

Calkain’s Andrew Fallon, Associate, facilitated the transaction, providing exclusive representation to the Seller, who developed the site for Dollar General. The Richmond store was highly sought-after given its in-fill location, surrounding demographics, and the favorable lease structure. Fallon comments, “As Dollar General continues to roll out new stores in new markets, it’s rare to find a brand new in-fill location with such strong demographics in major markets.” The buyer was a Virginia-based investor seeking stable income as a passive real estate owner. Continued Fallon, “The 15-year triple net lease with Dollar General’s guaranty provided a strong income stream for the buyer, who will have limited to no management responsibilities”. The buyer financed the purchase using a regional bank.

In July 2011, S&P raised Dollar General’s credit rating to BB+, the top rung before entering investment-grade territory and Moody’s raised its rating on the company to Ba2, which is two steps below investment grade on its scale. Dollar General Corporation is the nation’s largest small-box discount retailer, with more than 9,300 stores and 2010 sales in excess of $13.04 Billion.

Calkain’s Andrew Fallon, Associate, facilitated the transaction, providing exclusive representation to the Buyer. Pharmacies have long been a desired segment of the net lease market, but Rite Aid properties have been scrutinized given the company’s operating performance. Fallon worked closely with the buyer and indicated that, “the investor did extensive due diligence on this Rite Aid location, ensuring that the store was busy, had excellent sales, and was on a strong corner.” The property is located at a signalized corner across the street from a Walgreens, one of Rite Aid’s main competitors. Fallon continues, “Within the net lease market, Rite Aid’s are offering an inflated return to investors based on the perceived credit risk associated with the tenant.” Even with the perceived risk, the purchaser was able to secure competitive financing for the acquisition.

Rite Aid operates approximately 4,700 pharmacies in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Rite Aid is the largest drug¬store chain on the East Coast and the third largest drugstore chain in the county.

This sale marks the fourth closing in just over a month for Nutt, continuing the steady market velocity from the end of 2010.  Nutt remarked, “While there was a slight ‘hangover’ effect from a busy December, the buyers are eager to wrap up the first quarter with strong numbers.  If you have a property occupied by a quality tenant or located on strong real estate, there is considerable demand for those assets.”

The transaction sold for $13,800,000 which equated to the largest net leased retail transaction in the Washington, DC area in the last several years.  The sale price represented a 5.90% capitalization rate which is indicative of the reach that Calkain Companies has to match investors with sound real estate investments. 

Jeff Bogart

Both leases had rental increases every 5 years, which, in comparison to typical Walgreens’ leases, made this property more unique in today’s market. The intrinsic value of the real estate also helped drive the cap rate to 2007 levels as it is located in Fairfax County, Virginia - which has a top 10 national ranking for median household income, at well over $110,000. The buyer, an undisclosed, due to confidentiality agreements, local investor considered himself fortunate to secure such a quality asset.”
