Triple Net Lease (NNN) Transactions Sold in Florida

Net Lease Press Releases


The properties acquired were leased on a long-term, triple net basis

Scott Black, Associate and Patrick Nutt, Managing Director of Calkain Companies’, a national real estate investment brokerage firm, successfully completed  triple net lease (NNN) transactions in which private clients acquired passive real estate investment properties. The two properties were located in Florida . The properties acquired were leased on a long-term, triple net basis to the national tenant Regions Bank.


A summary of the each triple net lease transaction is below:

Regions Bank - Lakeland, FL: Calkain secured the exclusive listing from the owner, a family investment fund, and secured a fully executed contract to purchase within two weeks. The ultimate buyer, a private investor, purchased the 4,620 square foot property leased by Regions Bank (NYSE: RF). Even with only three (3) years remaining of the lease, the established tenancy, coupled with the shopping center outparcel location, made this an attractive investment.

Confidential - Florida Transaction: Calkain exclusively listed a confidential property that was ultimately 
purchased as part of a 1031 tax deferred exchange. The private investor, based out of New York, acquired a building leased and occupied by a national, investment-grade tenant. Further details are unavailable due to confidentiality agreements between parties.
Calkain is a full service real estate brokerage firm with a national scope focusing on single and multi‐ tenant retail, industrial, hotel and office net‐leased transactions.

Net Lease Cap Rates Press Releases

Net Lease Press Releases 

Net lease cap rates fell by 25 basis points in 2011. The primary drivers of this trend are lack of product (especially high quality product) and an ease in lending conditions.


Construction of new net lease product continues to flow at a trickle while financing has become more available – with local and regional banks competing with insurance companies for credit tenant deals. Investors have shown the willingness and ability to invest but are hindered by lack of product to satiate their demand. This lack of supply and increase in demand has forced prices up and cap rates down – many would argue that 2012 promises to be a seller’s market in 2012.


 It is worth noting that these numbers illustrate the average trend in net lease cap rates and the net lease market itself is highly diverse depending upon tenant, lease terms and location. Though these factors have always been significant, their effects have recently compounded. Investors have shown a preference for high quality tenants in prime – urban and suburban – locations and are willing to pay some of the highest prices in recent years to obtain them. Cap rates in prime markets can be up 125bps lower than the charted averages of many segments. However, investors are increasingly showing interest in properties containing lower credited tenants or located in secondary locations – exchanging risk for higher returns. 


Net lease investments continue to gain traction as an alternative investment instrument for cash flow and yield investors.
