Exceptional Tenant Commitment & Inflation-Protected Lease Fundamentals
In the single-tenant net lease sector, strong corporate commitment and steady rent growth are the twin pillars of long-term value. This Captain D's asset delivers elite metrics across both categories:
-
Proactive Early 5-Year Lease Extension: In a powerful demonstration of site profitability and long-term commitment to this specific location, the tenant, Captain D’s LLC, recently exercised an early extension option. This corporate action extends their primary lease term out for a full 11 years total, providing an incoming owner with long-term lease stability.
-
Generous Multi-Generation Extension Options: Beyond the secure 11-year primary term, the corporate lease features two (2) additional 10-year option periods to extend, potentially protecting your real estate investment for decades to come.
-
Compounding 1.25% Annual Rental Increases: To protect your yield from macroeconomic shifts, the lease dictates fixed 1.25% annual rental increases throughout both the initial term and the twenty years of option periods. This compounding feature ensures consistent, predictable NOI growth and serves as an aggressive hedge against inflation.
-
The Power of an Industry Leader: Captain D's operates an integrated, high-performing network of over 540 locations nationwide. Their proven, recession-resistant menu model gives this net lease asset incredible stability compared to traditional retail or sit-down dining concepts.
Irreplaceable Outparcel Placement Along Decatur's Primary Retail Spine

-
Dominant Beltline Road Traffic Profile: The building commands premium, unobstructed visibility directly along Beltline Road SW, the undisputed number-one retail thoroughfare serving the entire city of Decatur. This primary transit spine funnels a massive average of 37,500 vehicles passing by daily directly past the restaurant's prominent roadside signage.
-

The immediate corridor is heavily anchored by a high-volume Home Depot, Walmart Supercenter, Target, Ross Dress for Less, ALDI, and Kroger, drawing a permanent stream of regional shoppers to the immediate block.
