Faris Lee Investments proudly presents a premier investment opportunity secured by a nationally recognized, investment-grade tenant—Bank of America (NYSE: BAC). With confirmed branch deposits exceeding $6.9 billion per FDIC.gov, this location represents a mission-critical branch within the Bank of America network and underscores the institution’s long-term commitment to the site. Bank of America is the second-largest banking institution in the United States, serving more than 69 million consumer and small business clients, maintaining an A+/Stable S&P credit rating, and carrying a market capitalization of approximately $388 billion (December 2025).
The asset is secured by a long-term NNN ground lease, offering investors a passive, predictable, and management-free income stream. Under this structure, Bank of America is responsible for all building and site obligations—including the roof, HVAC, structure, parking lot, and landscaping—resulting in zero landlord responsibilities. The tenant has operated at this location since 2019, and the lease includes scheduled rent increases every five years, providing inflation protection, enhanced cash flow, and long-term value appreciation.
Founded in 1904, Bank of America has grown into a global financial leader operating in more than 35 countries. The company pioneered industry milestones—including the creation of the first bank credit card in 1958 and the first coast-to-coast banking network in 1991. They expanded through transformational acquisitions such as Security Pacific, NationsBank, Fleet Boston, U.S. Trust, and Merrill Lynch. Today, more than 10% of all American bank deposits are held with Bank of America, reinforcing the tenant’s financial strength, scale, and essential role in the national banking system.
