IRVINE, Calif. – Faris Lee Investments, a leading retail advisory and brokerage services firm, has completed the $8 million sale of a 14,820-square-foot single-tenant retail property occupied by Walgreens in Fresno, Calif.

Located at 2950 N. Fowler Ave. at a busy signalized intersection, the Walgreens-occupied property includes a drive-thru and offered the buyer an absolute triple-net lease, which provides no landlord responsibilities. Additionally, the tenant has approximately 22 years remaining on its lease with 10, five-year options.
“This is a property that offered the buyer the ideal investment fundamentals. Faris Lee positioned this asset as a secure and stable single-tenant investment in a long-term lease with the nation’s top drugstore chain,” said Conover. “We had many offers on the property, and selected a buyer who was in a 1031 exchange.”
There are approximately 240,000 consumers and 70,000 daytime employees within a five-mile radius of the property. The Walgreens store is part of a proposed 16-acre shopping center which, upon completion, will include more than 173,000 square feet of retail space.
