ATHENS, GA. — Marcus & Millichap has brokered the sale of a property located at 795 Oglethorpe Ave. in Athens that is leased to CVS/pharmacy. An undisclosed buyer purchased the 14,781-square-foot property for $9.1 million. Don McMinn of Marcus & Millichap’s Taylor McMinn Retail Group represented the undisclosed seller. “This CVS traded at list price for $600,000 more than what the sellers paid for it seven years ago, in addition to $3 million they collected in rent. This transaction is another example of the current peak demand for quality net lease inventory in the market today,” says McMinn. “Due to this demand and current supply constraints, we are still seeing cap rate compression and historic pricing for our sellers. There is no better time to be a seller than the present.”
The Washington, D.C., and Baltimore markets, when combined, represent the fourth-largest metropolitan region in the nation by population, and retailers are taking notice again. Grocery-anchored projects are the most prevalent in the headlines. For example, the first of nearly 20 Amazon Fresh locations has opened in the area. Additionally, Wegmans’ smaller format rollout plan is active with its first location in Stonebridge’s Carlyle Crossing in Alexandria opening spring 2022, along with Roadside Development’s City Ridge Project at the former Fanny Mae Headquarters in Northwest D.C. Former Shoppers Food Warehouse boxes also continue to get absorbed by new grocers. A less-covered sector of the grocery market is the international markets category, which remains very active in the region. There are 29 different banners across the region that exceed 10,000 square feet in size, with the newest entrant being Oh! Markets in Northern Virginia. Other international market newcomers, including 99Ranch and Enson Market, are also searching for space. With the immense ethnic diversity of the region, we expect investors to start taking notice of this sector with their acquisition appetite, just as they have in other regions like Texas and Florida. Publix, a customer favorite, is in the early stages of identifying …
