The assets are being offered as a portfolio or may be acquired individually, providing investors with flexibility to pursue a single-asset or scaled investment strategy. The offering consists of two single-tenant, absolute net-leased restaurant properties strategically positioned along dominant retail corridors and supported by strong national co-tenancy and traffic drivers.
Both locations have demonstrated sustained operational performance, with each ranking within the top tier of stores statewide and nationally according to Placer.ai data. Favorable rent-to-sales ratios (approximately 4.80% in Adrian and 5.89% in Kalamazoo) provide meaningful operating cushion and support long-term tenancy.
Each property is subject to a 10-year absolute net sale-leaseback structure featuring 10% rental increases every five years and in the option periods, offering investors predictable cash flow and inflation protection. Additionally, both locations are scheduled to undergo Applebee’s “Greenhouse” remodel in 2026, which will include updated branding, modernized interiors, enhanced seating and bar areas, to-go program improvements, and site upgrades—further reinforcing long-term viability and tenant commitment.

The property benefits from traffic counts exceeding 28,000 vehicles per day along West Main Street and convenient access to US-131, which carries over 55,000 vehicles daily. The site offers excellent visibility and is located within a dense retail corridor anchored by national tenants such as Walmart Supercenter, Meijer, Menards, Kohl’s, and others, in addition to its proximity to Western Michigan University, which has a student population of approximately 16,000.
