Net Lease CAP Rates Cooling-Off

Net Lease Press Releases 


Cap rates on Walgreens and CVS properties remained flat with the quarter prior at 6.45 percent and 6.7 percent respectively, but cap rates on restaurants fell 25 basis points to 7.25 percent. Cap rates on McDonald’s restaurants in particular fell 20 basis points to 4.8 percent, and cap rates on Dollar General stores fell 15 basis points, to 8.1 percent. 


However, few of those properties are trading in the core markets. Finding a McDonald’s or a Walgreens for sale in a primary market has “gotten tougher because there is not a lot of new things coming out of the ground and partly that’s what pushed down cap rates, as well as [the fact that] interest rates have gotten so low,” says Jonathan W. Hipp, president and CEO ofCalkain Cos., a Reston, Va.-based brokerage and consulting firm specializing in the net lease sector.
