Property Summary
Opportunity
Municipal Address 34530 McConnell Road, Abbotsford, BC
Avison Young is pleased to present the opportunity to purchase 34530 McConnell Road in Abbotsford. This offering consists of a 100% freehold interest in an 85,218 square foot retail and warehouse building on 6.93 acres of land.
Legal Description Lot 2, Section 11, Township 16, New Westminster District Plan LMP 19477 Property I.D. 019-004-443 Site Size 6.93 acres (301,871 sf) Rentable Area 85,218 sf Parking / Parking Ratio 375 surface stalls 4.4 per 1,000 sf rentable floor area Clear Height 20 feet Occupancy Leased to Rona until July 2021, with a pre-determined rental increase in July 2016. Rona is currently not operating at this location. Year Built 2001 2014 Gross Property Taxes $344,754.17 Financing Clear Title Bare Trustee The title to the Property is held in a bare trustee. Price Contact Listing Agents Net Income $1,113,200 per annum (current) $1,224,520 per annum (July 2016) Operating & Property Tax Costs (2015 Budget) $393,943 ($4.62 psf)
The property is fully leased to Rona under the terms of a carefree net lease expiring on July 11, 2021. Rona has ceased operating out of this location, but is still responsible for its rental payments until the lease expiry. The rental and property tax and operating cost obligations of Rona for the duration of the term are estimated to be approximately $10 million. The offering is an excellent opportunity to purchase a property that offers a secure holding income over the next six years or, in lieu of the rental stream, investigate the possibility of negotiating a lump sum termination payment with Rona. Re-tenanting the Rona space and developing additional retail space on the site could create excellent value add circumstances for the property. The property benefits from a prominent location adjacent to Costco and just south of RioCan’s Abbotsford Power Centre that features Winners HomeSense as an anchor tenant in the Sumas Way retail thoroughfare.
Property Advantages 99 99 99 99 99 99
The only modern “big box” retail opportunity for sale in the Fraser Valley. Suitable for investors, developers with value-add strategies, or owner-occupiers. Secure income stream until 2021. Long-term lease to Rona, with one rental increase remaining in the term. Existing site coverage is approximately 25%, zoning allows for 50%. The large-format, warehouse-type configuration of the property accommodates a wide variety of occupier types including traditional big-box retailers or retailers requiring retail showroom space, as well as a warehouse to accommodate inventory.
Strong Retail Location 99 Situated in a dominant big box retail node. 99 Adjacent to the only Costco serving Abbotsford, Mission, and Chilliwack (next store is 30km west in the City of Langley). 99 With a current population of approximately 143,000, Abbotsford’s population is projected to reach 200,000 residents by 2035. 99 According to MPC Intelligence, over 700 residential units are currently under construction and a further 5,753 units are planned in the Abbotsford/Aldergrove sub-market. 99 New industrial properties are under development west of the property, on McConnell Road. 99 Improved vehicular access through proposed at-grade vehicular rail crossing immediately west of the property, connecting the industrial business parks on Riverside Avenue with the retail properties along Sumas Way and McConnell Road.
General Construction The building’s exterior walls consist primarily of prefinished metal panels. Low-slope roof systems are EPDM waterproofing membrane and insulated standing seam metal roof. The warehouse area is a 44’x27’ column grid. Interior ceiling heights are approximately 19-21’. Floors are polished concrete.
The current estimate of 3.9 million square feet (msf) of retail inventory in Abbotsford is projected to grow by an additional 1.5 msf by 2035, when Abbotsford’s population is expected to approach 200,000 residents. The greatest proportion of retail demand is expected to occur in grocery/supermarket stores and general merchandise (Source: City of Abbotsford Economic Development). Notable retail nodes and projects in Abbotsford include Highstreet (600,000 sf) and the Fraser Valley Auto Mall in Mt. Lehman, SevenOaks Shopping Centre (563,000 sf), and Clearbrook Town Square (188,000 sf) in the City Centre, and Abbotsford Power Centre (455,000 sf) in the Sumas Way “big box” retail node.
