NNN Upside
⬆ Value Enhancement
Executing a market-rate NNN lease at $20–$21/SF with current or incoming tenant repositions as an investment-grade asset and supports value of $975,000–$1,050,000 — adding $80,000–$200,000 over the owner-operated basis.
  • Navarre mkt cap rate: 7.3%
  • Market NNN rent: $20.12–$22.04/SF
  • 5-yr rent growth: 4.1%/yr
  • Zero new restaurant supply
💡 Investment Thesis
This asset delivers a fully operational restaurant platform below replacement cost, in one of Florida's tightest retail submarkets (1.5% vacancy), with a clear path to investment-grade repositioning. A buyer executing a market-rate NNN lease with the current operator could immediately unlock $80,000–$200,000 in additional value and access institutional-quality financing.

Market Analysis
Navarre & Pensacola MSA Commercial Market

The Navarre retail and commercial market is one of the most supply-constrained in the greater Pensacola MSA. As of Q1 2026, Navarre's retail vacancy rate stands at just 1.5% compared to 3.9% for the broader Pensacola market, driven by strong population growth, limited new construction, and sustained demand from military families, retirees, and wealth migration into Santa Rosa County.

NNN asking rents for restaurant/retail peers along the SR-87 corridor and Navarre Parkway average $20.12/SF (CoStar peer set of 17 comparables), with the Navarre submarket averaging $22.04/SF NNN. The subject's CoStar-estimated NNN market rent range is $19.47–$23.79/SF. Five-year average annual rent growth in the Navarre submarket is 4.1%. Notably, there is currently zero new restaurant construction in the pipeline for the immediate submarket.

The Pensacola MSA benefits from a strong military anchor — NAS Pensacola with 16,000+ military personnel and 7,400 civilian employees — plus 35,000+ military retirees, providing a stable, recession-resistant employment and consumer base.

NNN Structure Advantage
Under a NNN lease, the tenant pays taxes, insurance, and maintenance directly. Landlord's only ongoing obligation is mortgage/debt service. This creates a near-passive income stream — a key advantage of this asset class.

Cap Rate Note
A 100–150 bps premium above the 7.3% Navarre market cap rate is applied to reflect the absence of a formal lease. If a NNN lease is executed prior to sale, the full 7.3% market cap applies — supporting values of $975,000+.

Execute a Market-Rate NNN Lease → Add $80,000–$200,000 in Value

Executing a market-rate NNN lease with the current operator (Scooter's Fish House) or an incoming tenant at approximately $20–$21/SF NNN would reposition this asset as an investment-grade income property and could support a value of $975,000–$1,050,000 at Navarre's 7.3%–8.0% market cap rate — adding $80,000–$200,000 in value over the current owner-operated basis.

Infrastructure Value to Incoming Tenant

Buyer acquires not just real estate but the complete restaurant platform — saving $90,000–$150,000 that a new entrant would otherwise incur:

Infrastructure ItemEst. Replacement

Competitive Advantage
With zero new restaurant construction in the Navarre pipeline and retail vacancy at 1.5%, this is one of very few available turn-key restaurant platforms in the submarket.

  • Broadest buyer pool: owner-operators, investors, 1031 buyers, restaurateurs
  • Generates urgency and competitive interest while retaining negotiation leverage
