A 196,601 SF Single-Tenant Net Lease Investment
The Opportunity

Fred Meyer | Bend, Oregon

Institutional Property Advisors presents the fee-simple interest in a 196,601-square-foot Fred Meyer single-tenant net lease investment in Bend, Oregon. Fred Meyer Stores, Inc. master-leases the full ±19.19-acre premises through January 22, 2046, with payment and performance backed by an absolute and unconditional guaranty from The Kroger Co.

Annual Minimum Rent of $1,600,000, about $8.14 per square foot, sits well below prevailing market rents. The tenant covers taxes, utilities, insurance, compliance, and nearly all maintenance and repairs, leaving the landlord with limited ongoing responsibilities.

Fifteen successive five-year renewal options extend automatically unless Fred Meyer provides 270 days' notice to cancel, giving the lease a potential term reaching well beyond a century while the initial term alone carries roughly 19 years of remaining income.

Investment Highlights

Credit, Term, and Cost Basis Advantages.

Absolute Guaranty From The Kroger Co.

The Kroger Co. guaranty is absolute and unconditional, survives lease assignment, permits the landlord to proceed directly against the guarantor following default, and requires the guarantor's written consent before any amendment that increases tenant obligations.

Automatic Renewal Across Fifteen Five-Year Options

Fifteen successive five-year options renew automatically, giving the lease a potential term reaching well beyond a century.

Basis Below Comparable Replacement Cost

At $142.42 per square foot, the acquisition basis compares favorably to the cost of replacing a comparable large-format property once land, fuel center, parking, site work, and entitlements are considered.
