Seattle Flex for Sale - S Seattle

The Old Rainier Brewery is a 181,453-square-foot creative mixed-use campus comprising 24 adjoined buildings at 3100 Airport Way South, the former Rainier Brewery and one of Seattle’s most recognized industrial landmarks. The offering is positioned for investors seeking durable, granular in-place income from a differentiated creative asset, together with two identifiable paths to further NOI growth. The finished space is approximately 91% leased across a diversified tenant base of live/work lofts, creative office and flex users, and retail, anchored by Groove Universe, an operator of soundproof recording and rehearsal studios, and Little Red Day Spa, a full-service spa, with additional frontage income from a drive-thru coffee tenant. Current ownership has invested approximately $19.0 million during its hold, the substance of which addresses the building’s most capital-intensive systems. Roughly $12.2 million funded the abatement of legacy PCB conditions (remediation complete, final regulatory closure in process), and approximately $6.8 million funded building and tenant improvements: structural buildout of rentable space, new sprinkler and utility-metering systems, removal of the former tank farm, replacement of roofs and plumbing lines, elevator overhauls, and interior renovations across the retail, spa, studio, and live/work components. In combination with prior seismic upgrades, this capital materially de-risks the physical plant and allows a buyer to underwrite operations and lease-up rather than base-building expenditure. The tenancy is intentionally granular and use-diverse, which both diversifies income and reflects sustained, hard-to-replicate demand for creative space at this scale within the Seattle market. Two levers support forward returns: 23,427 square feet of unfinished shell space is positioned for conversion to additional live/work lofts, with the Master Use Permit in process, and a meaningful share of the rent roll, approximately 22% of leased space, currently sits on holdover or near-term expiration, providing mark-to-market and lease-up upside on renewal. The result is a stabilized, income-producing creative campus with a clear, self-directed path to value creation.

FULLY BUILT-OUT, DUAL DRIVE-THROUGH COFFEE STAND ON BETHEL ROAD! Skip the ground-up build-out and step into a location already designed for coffee and beverage service. Featuring drive-through service on both sides, stainless steel appliances, existing commercial improvements, and a distinctive backpacker/surf-inspired theme, this Port Orchard location offers an exciting opportunity for an independent operator, established coffee brand, or expanding beverage concept. Located at 4720 Bethel Road SE along the highly traveled Bethel Road corridor, this fully built-out coffee stand provides an incoming operator the opportunity to take advantage of an established commercial setup without starting a drive-through concept from scratch. The dual-sided drive-through configuration creates an efficient customer flow and allows vehicles to be served from both sides of the stand. The interior is already outfitted with stainless steel appliances and commercial improvements designed for coffee and beverage service. The existing backpacker and surf-inspired theme gives the stand a fun, memorable identity while still providing an excellent foundation for a new operator to introduce their own branding and concept. The existing build-out represents significant value for an independent coffee operator, established coffee company looking to expand, specialty beverage business, or entrepreneur seeking a ready-to-operate location. Rather than taking on the time, expense, permitting, and construction associated with creating a new drive-through coffee stand, an incoming operator can capitalize on the substantial improvements already in place. Positioned along one of Port Orchard's primary commercial corridors, the property benefits from strong visibility, surrounding residential neighborhoods, established businesses, and consistent commuter traffic. With its dual-sided drive-through configuration, stainless steel equipment, existing commercial build-out, distinctive design, and prominent Bethel Road location, this is a compelling opportunity to bring a new coffee or beverage concept to a busy Port Orchard commercial corridor.- 5Year lease back a possibility.

Poulsbo Retail for Sale

The Brown Group of Marcus & Millichap has been selected to exclusively market for sale a former Sonic Drive-In owner/user or value-add opportunity in Poulsbo, WA. The property features a 2,308 SF QSR building, an approximately 2,750 SF canopy, a double-entry drive-thru, and ample parking, with the flexibility to utilize the existing improvements or redevelop the parcel for a new use. The property's C-3: SR 305 corridor zoning explicitly permits drive-thrus and allows for a wide range of uses including retail, office, hospitality, health services, mixed-use, and residential. While operated as a Sonic Drive-In, the property consistently performed well above average AUV for the brand (contact Listing Agent for details). The property is situated on the corner of Viking Way and State HWY 305 adjacent to HWY 3, and benefits from 74,000+ VPD, easy ingress/egress with a protected left turn lane, and prominent pylon signage. The surrounding trade area includes numerous national retailers. The property is also strategically positioned along major commute and school routes, near multiple schools, and adjacent to the North Viking Transit Center/Park & Ride. The Poulsbo submarket features a five-year average retail vacancy rate of 3.3%, 3.4% annual rent growth over five years, and no new retail deliveries in four years, creating a high barrier-to-entry environment. Within three miles, average household incomes exceed $131,000 and the population has grown over 12% since 2010, with over 30% growth within one mile. Washington's lack of state income tax further enhances after-tax returns.

Drive Through Restaurants

A drive-thru restaurant is a type of fast food establishment that provides customers with the ability to order and receive their meal while still in their car. This type of restaurant has been on the rise in recent years with an increase in demand for quick, mobile-friendly food options.

The majority of drive through restaurants are located on or near busy streets, making them easy for drivers to access. This accessibility can be attractive to investors as it will increase potential revenues by attracting more customers without extensive advertising costs.

Why should you buy a restaurant with a drive through as an investor?

There are many reasons to invest in a drive through restaurant. These restaurants can be profitable if they're modeled correctly and managed well. You need to consider several things when investing in a drive-through restaurant, such as location and demographics, before deciding whether or not it's right for you

The first thing that needs consideration is where your potential business should be located. A major factor here is population density - what does the neighborhood look like? Is there plenty of foot traffic on any given day? If so, this would mean more customers for the restaurant! You also want to make sure there are no competing businesses nearby that may lure away your customer base; try looking at some other areas of town with less competition and underserved population.

What are the costs of buying a drive through restaurant?

The costs to consider include the cost of the building, renovations or repairs and upgrades needed in order to do business. There may be additional fees such as franchise fees, permits, licensing. Talk to your broker about additional costs.

The cost for a commercial property itself will vary depending on the size and location; a building might cost more than one near a busy highway interchange with high traffic volume. The price per square foot also varies significantly by location.

How to make your purchase profitable and sustainable in the long run.

Purchasing a profitable drive-through restaurant requires careful research and consideration of what is needed in the area.

You will need to consider the most profitable drive-through locations, deciding if you want a single site or plan on multiple sites.

Consideration should be given to both established restaurants with traffic volumes that meet your needs as well as those which are under-performing but have potential for time and money investment to increase revenues.

Is it worth it for you to buy a drive thru restaurant now?

Right now is a a great time to invest in a drive through restaurant.

As of 2021, Interest rates are low and there is less competition for properties, which means you can get the property for less money than if you buy it later on down the road when prices and interest rates may increase. Additionally, now would be a good time to buy because people need convenient and safe food options during tough economic times.
