Marketing description
KLNB is pleased to present for sale the fee simple interest in the O'Reilly Auto Parts, a 9,000 SF freestanding pad site, positioned on 1.33 acres in Essex, Maryland. O’Reilly’s lease commenced in June 2025 and includes a 10% rental increase once during the base term, as well as in each option period, providing a built-in hedge against inflation. The property also presents a compelling value-add opportunity, featuring two vacant second-floor office suites totaling 3,500 square feet, in addition to a 0.75-acre vacant lot at 6 Back River Neck Road that is available for lease and/or outdoor storage. Positioned along Back River Neck Road, the asset benefits from consistent daily traffic of approximately 14,250 vehicles and offers convenient access to Old Eastern Avenue, Stemmers Run, and Eastern Boulevard. Having operated as Salvo Auto Parts for nearly 90 years, the property demonstrates a long-standing history of stable occupancy and an automotive use for the submarket, while offering immediate upside through the lease-up of the remaining vacant space.
