INVESTMENT GRADE LAND BANK OPPORTUNITY ADJACENT T O NEW KENT LIGHT RAIL STATION
Investment highlights
Ground Lease to Investment Grade Tenant: Lowe’s (NYSE:
LOW) recently exercised the first of 4, 5-year options, expiring in 2031.
Each option includes a 7.5% rent increase. Lowe’s maintains a BBB+ credit
rating (S&P).
Light Rail Expansion: The LINK Kent Des Moines light rail station, just
one block north, opened December 2025. Part of the larger Federal Way
Link Extension (FWLE), additional stops include Star Lake and Federal
Way downtown.
Heavily Trafficked Corridor Location: The Premises has direct
frontage on Pacific Hwy S (30,000 VPD), with nearby proximity to
Interstate 5 (210,000 VPD). Highline College is directly across the street,
providing additional everyday traffic.
Growing Nearby Demographics: Over 96,000 people live within
3 miles of the Property, with an average household income of $112,000.
The nearby population has grown 22% since 2010, with continued growth
anticipated due to the LINK light rail expansion.
Future Upside Opportunity: Three (3), 5-Year options remain,
allowing ownership to capitalize on future upside through mark-to-market
leasing, an owner-user sale to similar operators, or multifamily
redevelopment (max density is 16 stories with 80% lot coverage).
Below-Market Entry Point: With an effective building rent of $6/
sf and a resulting building value well below replacement cost, the future
options are vast and could include replacing the tenant, demising the
building, selling to a user or developing the 10+ acre site at an extremely
low land basis adjacent to light rail.
