Standalone Properties - the benefit of investing in convenience.
At Firefly Future, our investment strategy focuses on two key segments of the commercial property market, specifically focusing on prime locations in Southeast Queensland. The first is, Neighbourhood Villages, and the second is, Standalone Properties.
This article will focus on standalone properties and how we transform them into highly sought-after convenience destinations.
What is a Standalone Property?
A Standalone Property is a real estate asset that operates independently and is not part of a larger complex or development. It typically occupies land separate from other buildings or structures. A Standalone Property is often referred to as a retail property, such as a convenience store, restaurant, or service station, that operates as a single entity.
How do we establish Standalone Properties?
Each asset is assessed using qualitative and quantitative data to determine the specific consumer needs of the trade area. Once this is established, we match the asset with strong and highly sought-after convenience offerings, such as fast food (e.g., Hungry Jack's, Taco Bell) and service stations (e.g., 7-Eleven). Finally, we collaborate with our development partners to pre-lease the property with extended lease terms and co-design and build the premises to suit the specific needs of the tenants.
Investment drivers of Standalone Properties?
Investing in a Standalone Property, which combines popular brands like Hungry Jack's, Taco Bell and 7-Eleven, offers several compelling benefits:
Prime Location: Standalone Properties are strategically located in high-traffic areas, ensuring excellent visibility and accessibility. This prime location enhances the Property's potential for consistent customer footfall and guarantees a steady revenue stream.
Established and Recognisable Brands: By partnering with well-established and recognised brands in the convenience and fast-food sectors, such as Hungry Jack's and 7-Eleven, investors gain assurance and credibility. They benefit from strong customer loyalty and the reputable brand reputation associated with these companies.
Stable and Diverse Income Streams: Combining a fast-food restaurant and a convenience store in one property creates diverse income streams. This diversification helps mitigate risk and provides stability in generating rental income. Moreover, it increases the likelihood of attracting a broader customer base, as both businesses cater to different consumer needs.
Long-Term Lease Agreements: Standalone Properties often come with long-term lease agreements, providing investors with a stable and predictable cash flow. These extended lease terms, often backed by reputable corporate tenants, offer peace of mind and the potential for long-term capital appreciation.
Minimal Management Responsibility: Investing in a Standalone Property typically involves minimal management responsibility for the investor. The tenants' responsibilities are day-to-day operations, including maintenance, repairs, and property management, allowing investors to enjoy a passive income stream without extensive involvement in the Property's operational aspects.
Potential for Capital Appreciation: Standalone Properties in prime locations, backed by established brands, have the potential for capital appreciation over time. As the surrounding area develops and demand increases, the property's value may appreciate, providing investors with the opportunity for long-term capital gains.
Investing in a Standalone Property featuring renowned brands like Hungry Jack's, Taco Bell, and 7-Eleven offers investors numerous advantages. These include a prime location, stable and diverse income streams, long-term lease agreements, minimal management responsibility, and the potential for capital appreciation. These benefits make Standalone Properties attractive for those seeking stable returns and reputable investment assets.
