Lightbridge Academy
Attractive 7.00% Cap Rate Lightbridge Academy
Marketing description
Embree Capital Markets Group is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a brand-new, single-tenant Lightbridge Academy early childhood education center located at 4810 Rochester Road in Troy, Michigan. This 2025 construction asset is leased on a long-term, absolute NNN basis to an experienced Lightbridge franchisee, offering truly passive cash flow backed by both a limited corporate guaranty and a full-term personal guaranty.
Troy is one of the most affluent and stable communities in the Detroit metropolitan area, supported by a deep base of white-collar employment in finance, technology, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing. Within a 5-mile radius of the site, the 2024 estimated population is approximately 225,000 residents across more than 90,000 households, with average household incomes exceeding $130,000 in the 3-mile trade area and over $146,000 within 1-mile. This combination of high incomes, dual-earning families, and top-tier schools creates sustained demand for quality preschool and daycare options, particularly from providers offering strong curriculum and safety standards like Lightbridge Academy.
The property is strategically positioned along Rochester Road, a major north–south arterial carrying over 41,000 vehicles per day, just south of E Long Lake Road (25,000+ vehicles per day). The immediate area is characterized by dense residential neighborhoods, medical and professional office users, and complementary retail and service providers that cater to family needs. With excellent visibility, easy access, and a deep surrounding demographic base, the site is well-positioned to capture long-term enrollment and support durable operating performance throughout the lease term.
