Sit-down, full-service restaurant chains operating in national and Philadelphia commercial real estate markets continue to face pressure from fast-casual competitors, and not just in the competition to woo diners.
Investors also appear to be losing some of their appetite for real estate in the U.S. commercial real estate market – including Philly office space, Philly retail space and Philly industrial space – that has been leased to such “casual dining” chains such as Hooters, Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, Chili’s and Texas Roadhouse.
This CoStar Realty Information Inc. report involving U.S. and Philadelphia commercial properties is being made through Philadelphia commercial real estate broker Wolf Commercial Real Estate, a Philadelphia commercial real estate brokerage firm.
Cap rates, the annual yield for U.S. and Philadelphia commercial real estate listings, jumped up in the first quarter for so-called “net lease” properties tied to casual dining restaurants.
According to a report from Wilmette, Illinois-based real estate firm The Boulder Group, “cap rates in the net lease casual dining sector increased to 6.32%” in the first quarter, up from 6.05% a year ago. The firm noted that the rate of increase among national and Philadelphia commercial real estate properties was wider than other types of net lease investment properties.
Net lease properties involve leases in which the landlord has little to no responsibility for managing the real estate beyond collecting a rent check. An increasing cap rate in the U.S. commercial real estate market – including Philly office space, Philly retail space and Philly industrial space – can reflect the greater risk that a tenant might struggle or fail to renew at the end of its lease. The length of the term left on a lease is one of several factors used in determining the cap rate. The more years left on a lease tends to attract better prices for the property and lowers cap rates.
Many investors looking for lower risk among national and Philadelphia commercial real estate listings have targeted fast-casual properties, or restaurants that typically do not offer table service. Earlier this month, the dirt underneath a Portillo’s in Normal, Illinois, sold for $4.4 million and is expected to produce an annual yield of 5% for the private investor. – By Richard Lawson; CoStar Realty Information Inc.
