The property is located on a new retail corridor anchored by Publix and neighbored by Wendy’s, Wawa, Burger King, Starbucks, Sprint, Hampton Inn etc. Strong and growing affluent demographics, 20 year lease with 10% escalations every 5 years at a very sustainable rent are all factors that contribute to the strength of the investment.
