Home Depot occupies 131,848 sf at the 1750 E. Edinger address. The home improvement retailer holds a 30-year lease at the property, which stands on an 11.7-acre parcel.

"It's like buying a bond."
The property's other tenant, Staples, leases the remaining portion of the building, which stands on a 2.6-acre parcel at 1760 E. Edinger. According to the terms of the 15-year agreement, the office supply retailer occupies 23,397 sf here.
