Retail Property For Sale

High Credit Ground Lease with Established Tenant – The Tenant, Rare Hospitality International, Inc., owned by Darden Restaurants and doing business as LongHorn Steakhouse, is subject to a long-term Ground Lease that commenced in 2008 and has nearly 8 years of remaining term. In 2023, the tenant elected to exercise their second renewal option, extending the lease term to ten years rather than five contemplated in the lease. As a concession, rent remained flat during years 1-5 of the option period, with increases scheduled to begin in 2028, year 6 of the option period. With two options remaining, the tenant has demonstrated a strong commitment to this location through its consistent renewal history. The property consists of 0.78 acres and benefits from cross-parking with the neighboring Evergreen Terrace Shopping Center along high-traffic Liberia Avenue in Manassas, Virginia. The building contains 5,600 square-feet.
Rare Washington D.C. MSA Low-Rent Opportunity – LongHorn Steakhouse is currently paying rent of $168,059 through 2028, equating to $30 per square foot. This rental rate is considerably lower than most restaurants along the Liberia Avenue retail corridor. Neighboring brands including Qdoba, Starbucks, and Wendy’s are paying between $50-$63 per square foot, while the immediately adjacent Patient First is paying $33.92 per square foot. This low rental rate provides an opportunity for LongHorn Steakhouse to operate through its term and options in an excellent market at a considerable discount. To the landlord’s benefit, Longhorn has only two options remaining, each with a 10% increase. Unlikely many other properties in the market, this structure is highly favorable to the landlord.
