Offered at $2,600,000, the property generates an in- place NOI of approximately $191,000, equating to a 7.35% cap rate, with modest upside through rent growth and operational efficiencies. A key value driver is the T6-8-O zoning, which supports high-density mixed- use redevelopment of up to eight stories, positioning the asset for future redevelopment, assemblage, or land- banking as Little River continues its transformation.
