Acquisitions

HEATH, OHIO — The Taylor McMinn Retail Group of Marcus & Millichap has brokered the sale of a newly constructed retail property occupied by Firestone in Heath, about 30 miles east of Columbus. Built in 2025, the property features a 15-year, triple-net corporate-guaranteed lease that includes 5 percent rent increases every five years in the initial term. The asset sold at 98 percent of the list price to an all-cash buyer completing a 1031 exchange. The seller was a preferred developer for Firestone. Don McMinn and Andrew Koriwchak of the Taylor McMinn Retail Group of Marcus & Millichap brokered the transaction. “This Firestone closing highlights the growing presence of higher-price-point 1031 exchange and private buyers in the net-lease market, driven by recent interest rate cuts and increased economic stability. We anticipate the buyer pool to continue to expand into 2026 as conditions improve and more capital re-enters the market,” says McMinn.
