Investment Overview
Exclusive Realty presents a single-tenant retail asset in Sandy Ridge, NC leased to Family
Dollar, a subsidiary of Dollar Tree, Inc. (S&P BBB, investment grade), on a corporate
guaranty producing $97,675 of annual income. At the $795,000 list price, the going-in
return is 12.29%, a yield rarely available on investment-grade corporate paper. Rent is
secured in full through January 31, 2031 under the existing NN lease, independent of store
operations.
The real estate underwrites as well as the income. Built in 2021, the 9,180 square foot
building sits on 1.71 acres with 48 surface spaces and a hard-corner position on NC-704.
Priced at roughly $87 per square foot, the basis sits well below replacement cost for
comparable new construction. The tenant carries taxes and insurance under the NN
structure, and landlord responsibility is limited to roof and structure, both new as of 2021
and covered by a 10-year warranty, keeping near-term capital exposure minimal.
The structure also offers optionality. Family Dollar has expressed interest in a lease buyout,
creating a potential path to accelerated capital return, while the modern, flexible box and
corner location support re-tenant or owner-user demand over time. A buyer collects a high
current return today and holds well-located 2021 real estate at a low basis behind it.
