Retail Property For Sale

CBRE is pleased to present an opportunity to acquire a 3,294 SF, single tenant asset occupied by Brakes 4 Less located in Gainesville, Florida. The property sits just 2 miles from the University of Florida, an institution that supports 62,000+ students and ~6,700 faculty. The asset benefits from its close proximity to the university as well as a densely populated 3-mile radius of 75,501 residents, giving the shop a competitive advantage for customers seeking close, convenient auto service. Brakes 4 Less just signed a new 10 year net lease with built in 2% annual increases starting in year five (5), and has four (4) 5-year options to renew, giving the owner long-term cash flow predictability with zero landlord obligations.
Gainesville sits in North Central Florida, making it a regional hub with excellent connectivity. The city is directly served by I-75, a major freight and commuter artery linking Gainesville to Atlanta (north) and Tampa/Miami (south), establishing it as a strong logistics and access point. This robust transportation infrastructure benefits service-oriented single tenant investments by ensuring high accessibility for customers, employees, and deliveries, a key asset attribute that supports stable tenancy and long-term value.
Expanding beyond the city core, the Gainesville Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which includes Alachua, Gilchrist, and Levy counties, has a population closer to 355,000+ and continues steady growth. What this means for investors:
• A stable and growing population base supports long-term demand for goods and services
• The large student population (60k+ at UF) injects consistent consumer demand across service, retail, food and convenience segments year-round.
Gainesville combines strategic location, stable economic drivers, growing demographics, and strong transportation access; a compelling combination for investors targeting a single-tenant asset with long-term cash flow potential and no landlord responsibilities.
