Investment Thesis

The property is being marketed as a real estate-led offering with an established tenant in place and future owner-user or re-tenant opportunity upon lease expiration.

• Tenant in place through December 2026 providing near-term income
• 1.87-acre parcel is extremely difficult to replicate under current zoning
• Tenant responsible for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance
• Future owner-user occupancy or re-tenant repositioning opportunity post-lease
• Purpose-built child care infrastructure already in place

Valuation Rationale

The asking price of $2,600,000 reflects land scarcity, specialty-use infrastructure, and in-place income.

Pricing is supported by the size of the parcel, existing licensing, and the replacement cost of improvements when factoring entitlement, site work, and facility build-out. Assets of this scale and configuration are increasingly rare under current zoning and development constraints.

Ideal Buyer Profile

Owner-operators seeking land, licensing, and long-term operational control
Investors targeting stable tenancy with future repositioning upside
Institutional or private buyers focused on educational or specialty-use real estate

Summary

This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large licensed preschool property with an established tenant in a market defined by supply constraints, land scarcity, and zoning barriers. With in-place income today and strategic flexibility at lease expiration, this asset is well suited for both near-term hold strategies and long-term ownership portfolios.
