Rare Opportunity – Below-Market Rents in a Thriving Market: This Lowe’s has operated at the site for over 30 years and continues to benefit from Decatur’s proximity to Huntsville’s explosive growth. With rents well below their average figures, a proven long-term operating history, and a significant rental bump when the lease expires, this property represents a rare chance to acquire a high-credit tenant at below-market economics in a great market.
National Corporate Credit Tenant: Lowe’s (S&P: BBB+ Stable) is one of the largest and most recognizable home improvement retailers in the U.S. — offering strong, investment-grade credit.
Long-Term Commitment: Lowe’s has operated here since 1990, with over three decades of proven performance and commitment to this site.
Large Building & Parcel: Substantial real estate footprint with a large-format store and parcel size, providing long-term intrinsic value and flexibility for any future redevelopment or re-use.
Strong Rent Growth & Built-In Upside: Tenant is in its 2nd of six (6) option periods. Lease structure provides 6% rent bumps at each option, creating predictable, compounding income growth. Future re-tenanting or renewal at market rent would represent a significant rent increase given today’s below-market lease rate.
Prime Retail Corridor Location: Situated on Beltline Rd (±27,000 VPD), Decatur’s dominant retail artery, directly adjacent to Publix and surrounded by national co-tenants, driving consistent consumer traffic.
Explosive Regional Growth: Decatur benefits from Huntsville’s rapid expansion. With the U.S. Space Command announcement fueling population and economic growth, this corridor is primed for sustained long-term demand.
Institutional-Grade Investment: Combines rare tenancy, long-term operating history, rent growth, market momentum, and intrinsic real estate value — making it highly attractive for core, long-term, and 1031 buyers.
