HAVERHILL, MA-A CVS Pharmacy at 150 Lafayette Sq. here has found a new owner. A private investor secured funds from People's United Bank for a portion of the $6.47-million purchase price. The deal came to $541 per square foot at a cap rate of 7.7%.

CVS has 23 years left remaining on a 25-year NNN lease for the stand-alone 11,970 square feet. Part of its lease, which began May 5, 2008, involves six individual five-year renewal options, as well as rent escalations in the base averaging 2% every five years. The rental break-down comes to roughly $3.46 per square foot for the first five years. Sitting on a 51,082-square-foot lot, the tenant is BBB+ rated by Standard & Poor's and has been the only tenant in the space since its inception.

Marcus & Millichap's Robert Horvath and Todd Tremblay brokered the deal. Horvath tells GlobeSt.com that the single-tenant, net-leased properties have been popular for private investors, since the well-secured properties often boast great credit-ratings, and are a safe investment for capital.
