Discount & Off-Price NNN

Off-price, closeout, and discount boxes. Value retail with its own lease and credit questions, separate from dollar stores.

Market Overview

“

Discount and off-price net lease sits next to dollar stores but it is not the same product.

Off-price apparel, closeout home goods, and larger discount boxes occupy more floor area, draw from a wider trade area, and often sit in power centers or freestanding pads on arterial roads. Dollar stores are covered on their own page. The questions here are the tenant's credit, the remaining lease term, rent increases, and whether the landlord or the tenant maintains the building. Sales of treasure-hunt merchandise can be resilient when shoppers trade down, and they can also be fashion-sensitive.

Off-price tenants expanded for years by taking space other retailers left. Underwrite the specific lease. In a multi-tenant center, ask what happens to rent if an anchor leaves. In a freestanding box, ask who else could use a large, shallow retail building with a lot of parking. Public companies report earnings and store plans in filings.

Key Investor Tips

  1. 1Keep dollar stores and off-price boxes in separate underwriting files. The buildings and the leases differ.
  2. 2Read co-tenancy and go-dark language before you capitalize the shop rent.
  3. 3A national banner on the building can still be a franchisee or a subsidiary. Name the guarantor.
  4. 4A dollar-store cap rate and a retail cap rate describe different buildings than an off-price box.
  5. 5Parking ratio and truck access decide whether a replacement tenant can actually open.
  6. 6If the offering memo quotes a cap rate, ask for the trailing rent and the source of the price. Otherwise leave the figure blank.
