Five newly built single-tenant net-leased properties occupied by Starbucks drive-thrus in separate transactions recently closed in La Palma, Redondo Beach, El Cajon, Rosamond and Modesto. The combined value of these five sales was $21.1 million, setting a record price-per-square foot and record-low cap rate for a build-to-suit/drive-thru only Starbucks priced more than $7 million in the United States. The transactions included five different buyers and sellers.

Hanley Investment Group’s Bill Asher, Jeremy McChesney and Jeff Lefko were the executive vice presidents involved in most of the transactions.
