Fast food and retail chains are performing strong in the Southeast's net lease sector.

ORLANDO—What are the best commercial real estate investment opportunities in Central Florida? What are the safest bets?

As Teal Henderson, a director at Calkain Companies, see it, triple net assets are the way to go. She tells GlobeSt.com the true triple net investment grade or credit tenants are always one of the best options for commercial real estate investors.

Henderson is a speaker at the upcoming RealShare Central Florida event Sept. 7 in Orlando. She will take a seat on the State of Central Florida's Capital Markets Panel.

“Typically, these investments are with the blue chip national retailers, drug stores, fast food and banks,” Henderson says. “They enjoy long-term leases with appropriate rent rates with annual increases and zero landlord responsibility for any costs or maintenance on the asset.”

What's more, she says, triple net lease assets are typically located on some of the city's best, most-trafficked lighted intersections so there is true intrinsic real estate value in the deal,” Henderson says. “Florida has always been a highly sought after market for national investors.”

Henderson reiterates Miami, Orlando, Tampa as among the hottest Florida markets. However, she also sees emerging opportunities in secondary markets as retailers are forced to look to new markets for expansion and cheap real estate and entry to market. Any way you look at it, there are not enough of these assets to go around.

“Coastal and tourist destinations throughout Florida with solid population and household income demographics are seeing an uptick in development activity,” Henderson says. “That translates to more net leased transactions.”

Steady gains in the US economy have resulted in net positives for the multifamily sector—will this wave continue for the foreseeable future? What's driving development and capital flows?
