Hanley Investment Group Sells Single-Tenant NNN Jiffy Lube for $1.75 Million in Indio
***
1031 Exchange Buyer Closes Escrow in 13 Days


IRVINE, CALIF. – Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors, one of the most dominant retail investment groups in the western United States and a market leader in the sale of retail properties, announced today that Edward B. Hanley and William B. Asher of Hanley Investment Group represented the seller in the sale of a single-tenant NNN Jiffy Lube in Indio, Calif. The purchase price was $1,750,000, representing a 6.8 percent cap rate.

Located at 81088 Highway 111, the 4,000-square-foot single-tenant Jiffy Lube is a pad building within a Stater Bros. anchored shopping center. Built in 2007, the Jiffy Lube building is situated on a 0.81-acre parcel of land.

“Single tenant NNN retail properties remain one of the most sought after investments in today’s market,” said Edward B. Hanley, president of Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors. “This particular property was attractive due to a 20-year lease term with 18 years remaining and 12 percent annual rental increases over the next three years.”

“We closed escrow on the last day of 2009 and were able to close the transaction quickly due to seller financing,” said William B. Asher, managing director at Hanley Investment Group. “Seller financing has become a more common way to facilitate the sale of properties; a trend that is sure to continue in 2010, given the lack of attractive traditional financing available in today’s market.”

Asher adds, “It was a unique single-tenant investment sale as a tenants-in-common structure was created to close the deal. Jiffy Lube is situated on a somewhat oversized parcel, so a tenants-in-common structure enabled the seller the ability to split the parcel in the future and retain the adjacent lot for future development, while allowing the buyer to purchase the Jiffy Lube and satisfy a 1031 exchange.”

The buyer, The Melville Family, L.P. of Glendale, Calif., was represented by Joe Stitick of Investment Property Services in Glendale. The seller was Valindio Partners, LLC of Newport Beach, Calif.
