Opportunity Summary

This investment is a 3.24-acre heavy industrial zoned parcel with a +/-34,679 SF composed of a parts showroom and service bay for heavy-duty trucks as well as a showroom and distribution warehouse for a parts supplier for the refuse industry.

Properties of this size and zoning with additional yard space are highly sought after. The demand for these types of properties greatly exceeds available supply in the Phoenix metro, and there is almost no new inventory being constructed, especially within this submarket.

The supply/demand imbalance coupled with the significantly below market rents make this property a tremendous investment opportunity for us and our partners.

Business Plan

University Drive

1626 & 1646 E University Dr. Phoenix, AZ | Industrial

We are purchasing this property with strong income in place from the existing tenants, TruckPro and Wastebuilt. TruckPro’s lease is a NNN lease of approximately 25,000 SF of structure and a majority of the yard space and currently provides $172,621.20 annually. This equates to an approximate $.58/SF/month NNN lease rate. Wastebuilt’s lease is a NNN lease of approximately 10,000 SF of structure and some parking space and currently provides $74,520.00 annually. This equates to an approximate $.62/SF/month NNN lease rate. The combined lease rate is approximately $.59/SF/month NNN. We are currently seeing lease comps at market rents for smaller low coverage buildings such as this one trading in excess of $1/SF/month

TruckPro’s lease currently provides them one (5) year option to renew their leases at market rate. As part of their lease option, the landlord dictates what market rents are. If the tenant disagrees, it is a very difficult process for the tenant to dispute the lease rate the landlord proposes. TruckPro’s lease expires in approximately two years, at which point they can exercise their option to renew their lease. Wastebuilt’s lease ends in just over two years, at which time we will bring them to market rates as well.

We anticipate both tenants remaining at the property with the rental increases, as the tenants know they will have an extremely difficult time finding a similar product to lease at the lease rates we are proposing due to limited inventory in the Phoenix market. If either tenant decides not to renew, we have budgeted money for property improvements as well as a leasing fee for our broker who would assist us in locating a new tenant for the property in this situation. We know we will be able to release the property quickly to a new tenant for significantly higher rents due to the current lack of supply for this product type.

We see the opportunity to reposition the property by increasing both of the existing tenant’s lease rates upon exercising their options and then exit for a significant profit. We have modeled the returns we are achieving by renewing both leases at $.85/SF/month, which is a conservative blended lease rate for this property type. As mentioned previously, we are seeing lease rates for this product type in excess of$1.00/SF/month.

Returns Overview

Underwriting Scenarios

We conservatively underwrite all of our projects in an attempt to under promise and overdeliver. We also compare our conservative underwriting to three different scenarios. The first scenario, the 20-Year Avg. Growth model, incorporates the average annual rent growth and cap rate compression that has occurred over the last 20 years in Metro Phoenix for each year of the investment period.

The second scenario, the Last Year Growth model, incorporates the average annual rent growth and cap rate compression that has occurred over the last year in Metro Phoenix for each year of the investment period. The third and final scenario, the Great Recession model, demonstrates how the asset would have performed if theGreat Recession started the day after we closed and continued its downward trend during the investment period, which includes cap rate expansion, decrease in market rental rates, and 12 months of vacancy.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years.
