Net Lease Dollar Tree Sale
A corporate-guaranteed Dollar Tree located in Sacramento, CA, was successfully sold in a dynamic and evolving market environment. This net lease retail asset attracted investor interest due to its high-traffic location and corporate-backed leases. Despite broader economic challenges, the property’s strong fundamentals positioned it as a compelling long-term investment.
Sacramento Life Science & Biotech
Capital Rivers Commercial successfully facilitated the sale of 2870 Kilgore Road in Rancho Cordova, a 75,626-square-foot biotech facility, to a Luxembourg-based biotech company for $8.5 million. The transaction closed at $112 per square foot, achieving 13% above the market average, and was completed in 150 days, significantly faster than the typical 246-day market timeline.
Build-to-Suit & Shell Delivery
Capital Rivers Commercial, in partnership with Mid-West Group of Companies, successfully developed two healthcare facilities: a Welbe Health center and a Fresenius Dialysis Clinic. The project required a dual-approach development, with Welbe Health being a full turn-key build-to-suit (BTS) and Fresenius delivered as a shell condition with all site work completed.
Chili’s & Buffalo Wild Wings
The objective was to acquire the long family-owned FG Arden shopping center in Sacramento and re-develop it, despite past unsuccessful attempts by other developers. This involved terminating existing leases, securing new national tenant agreements, overhauling existing CC&R’s, processing entitlements, and collaborating with SMUD to relocate improperly installed utility lines.
Dunkin' Donuts & T-Mobile
Capital Rivers Commercial's expertise transformed a historic Yuba City structure into the new home for Dunkin' Donuts and T-Mobile. Navigating structural challenges, such as an embedded bank vault and a space-restricting mezzanine, the project stands as a testament to innovative commercial real estate solutions. The success also highlighted the team's capability to optimize and innovate within limited space constraints.
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen
Capital Rivers faced a unique challenge in acquiring a historically significant property. The secret to unlocking this opportunity was leveraging local relationships and deep market insights. By collaborating with seasoned brokers, we opened the door to negotiations with the longstanding owners, leading to a successful acquisition and subsequent development.
Dollar Tree, Inc.
Capital Rivers thrives on pinpointing seemingly elusive 'needle in a haystack' development projects. With a mission to carve out new spaces in Northern and Central California for the renowned Dollar Tree, Inc., the task was monumental. It wasn’t just about finding a space, but ensuring it aligned with both Dollar Tree's operational needs and Capital Rivers’ financial goals.
Sourdough & Co.
Sourdough & Co., a rising star in California's premium sandwich industry, is surging ahead with an expanding franchise network. Amidst this rapid growth, the brand recognized the pressing need to streamline its real estate endeavors. Enter Capital Rivers Commercial (CRC), their trusted advisory partner, to steer them through this pivotal expansion phase.
CVS/Pharmacy
Capital Rivers took on the ambitious task of transforming a strategically located, yet dilapidated property into the new home for an in-line CVS/Pharmacy. A relocation CVS had pursued for over a decade, previous attempts, even ones involving Mr. Aguirre in the early 2000s, had failed. This venture was laden with challenges ranging from existing tenant relocations to navigating extensive bureaucratic red tape.
