Tuscaloosa Retail for Sale
The subject property is a freestanding DaVita Dialysis clinic located in Tuscaloosa, AL. DaVita has been there since 2007 and they just signed a new 10-year lease extension indicating their long-term commitment to the site. This location is one of the best performing locations in the United States. In 2025, the tenant invested in significant property upgrades — including a brand-new fence, landscaping, and a full parking lot repaving and restriping — all completed at DaVita’s expense. The lease provides 10% rent increases during the primary term and 1.75% annual increases throughout the three five-year option periods, offering investors stable, long-term income secured by a mission-critical healthcare tenant. Additionally, Alabama’s Certificate of Need (CON) regulations make relocating or establishing a competing facility more difficult, further enhancing the site’s strategic value. DaVita, Inc. (NYSE: DVA), a Fortune 500 healthcare provider and one of the largest kidney care companies in the United States operating over 2,675 dialysis centers nationwide, generated $12.8 billion in revenue and $936 million in net income as of 2024. The tenant holds a BB credit rating from Standard & Poor’s and a Ba3 rating from Moody’s, offering a reliable and stable income stream backed by one of the largest kidney care companies in the world.
