The subject property is a 12,158-square-foot CVS located in Lowell, Massachusetts. This 24-hour location is a top-performing site, ranking in the 98th percentile of CVS locations both nationally and statewide, according to Placer.ai. Its success is underscored by CVS's recent commitment to the site, demonstrated by a new 15-year lease signed in 2024. The lease includes 10% rent increases at each of the three 5-year renewal options.
The property operates under an absolute NNN lease, ensuring zero landlord responsibilities. CVS, publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "CVS," holds a BBB credit rating from Standard & Poor’s and reported annual revenues exceeding $368 billion in 2024.
