Highlights

  • Prime Tenant – The Learning Experience (TLE) is a leader in early childhood education, providing essential childcare services for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years. TLE is one of the fastest-growing education providers in the country, with over 600 locations nationwide, making it a highly stable and recession-resistant tenant for long-term investors.
  • Long-Term NNN Lease – The property will be sold with a brand-new 15-year NNN lease, offering investors passive, predictable cash flow with minimal landlord responsibilities. The lease features scheduled rent escalations every 5 years and renewal options, ensuring built-in income growth and long-term occupancy stability.
  • Stabilized Operating School – This is an established facility with a strong enrollment base, and operational history, reducing lease-up risk. Investors benefit from a fully functioning center from day one with ongoing community demand.
  • High-Visibility Retail Corridor – Located along Van Dyke Ave (M-53) a primary commercial and commuter artery with 40,000+ VPD — the property offers exceptional daily exposure with direct frontage, signalized access, and strong national retail co tenancy driving consistent consumer traffic. Surrounded by major employers, grocery, medical, and daily-needs retail, this corridor provides constant visibility and convenience, directly supporting TLE’s enrollment growth, operational stability, and long-term success.
  • Affluent, Family-Driven Suburban Demographics – Shelby Township is one of Detroit’s most attractive and high-income suburbs, with household income levels exceeding $110,000+ and population growth outpacing the broader region. The area is dominated by young, dual-income families — the core customer profile for premium childcare — and features expanding residential development with limited competing licensed supply.
  • Strong Market Demand for Early Education – The early childhood education sector is growing rapidly, with the market valued at $57 billion and expected to grow to $62 billion in the next five years. The demand for quality childcare services is expected to rise, particularly in fast-growing suburban areas, where more families are relocating due to affordable housing and proximity to employment centers.
