This former Red Lobster is positioned at a hard corner intersection with a single point of ingress/egress along Gemco Way and offers prime visibility along W 38TH Street, which sees ±45,829 vehicles per day (VPD). The Property was previously leased on a triple-net (NNN) basis to Red Lobster and now presents a value-add leasing opportunity (CoStar estimated rents of $16-$19/SF NNN). Zoned C-4, Community-Regional Commercial District, the Property permits a broad range of commercial uses, making it highly adaptable for various end-users or retail redevelopment strategies. The Property is comprised of a fee simple Parcel 1 containing the building and gives the owner of Parcel 1 access to use Parcel 2 parking easement, with the owner of Parcel 1 owner having to pay annual real estate taxes for Parcel 2 (See survey and Due Diligence for more info).

The Property sits as an outparcel to La Villita Mega Mall, a well-trafficked retail center featuring tenants such as Top Deals Furniture and Planet Fitness, just off the heavily trafficked intersection of Lafayette Rd (±35,547 VPD). The surrounding retail corridor is home to Meijer, Domino’s, Jiffy Lube, White Castle, Home Depot, Walmart, ALDI, Chevrolet, and Copart, all of which drive consistent daily traffic to the area. Located within ±4-mi of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Property benefits from proximity to one of the most iconic venues in motorsports, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually and supports a broad network of hospitality, QSR, and retail businesses. Additional nearby demand drivers include Marian University, Ivy Tech Community College, and Eskenazi Health West 38th Street, all within a short drive, contributing to a stable daytime population.
