GENESEO, IL—Single tenant net lease properties have gotten quite popular with investors, especially brand-name drug stores, even ones far outside core markets. STREAM Capital Partners, for example, recently completed the sale of a Walgreens property located in Geneseo, IL, about 20 miles east of the Quad Cities. Walgreens has the property under a long-term lease, another draw for investors, with about 19 years of term remaining.
The sale price was just over $5 million. Jonathan Wolfe and Jordan Shtulman, managing principals and co-founders of STREAM, advised the seller on the transaction. Since forming STREAM in early 2012, the group has helped complete over $250 million of Walgreens dispositions.
