Value-Add Opportunity: The Shoppes at Fair & Ety benefit from being able to add value within the first year of ownership through several different avenues:
12 of the 29 tenants are below market rent (Market rent is $12-$15 PSF for 1,000- 3,000 SF spaces).
Transition from Gross Leases to NNN: All but 2 tenants in the center pay no reimbursements whatsoever. Being able to transition most, if not all tenants to NNN leases would give the potential of raising the NOI by roughly $140,000.
Spin Off Potential: The Shoppes at Fair & Ety consists of 6 different retail buildings split across 2 parcels. This provides the opportunity to sell off individual buildings from the portfolio, lowering the basis while still maintaining strong passive income from the remaining buildings.

Columbus, OH has seen recent growth from several major corporations, notably the tech sector.
