Investment Overview

Brand-New 2026 Build-to-Suit Construction featuring a new 15-year NN lease backed by a franchisee guarantee. Landlord obligations are limited to roof and structure, providing a passive ownership opportunity. The lease includes two five-year renewal options with 10 percent rent increases every five years throughout the initial term and option periods, offering built-in income growth.

High-Growth Tenant with a Proven National Expansion Strategy. The tenant opened more than 100 new locations during 2024-2025 and has achieved an impressive 29 percent compound annual growth rate since inception. As of April 2026, the brand operates 475+ centers nationwide and is opening approximately one new location per week, with plans to add 40-70 new centers annually as part of its continued national growth initiative.

Exceptional Retail Corridor Location. The property is positioned as an outparcel within a rapidly expanding commercial corridor featuring prominent national retailers including Starbucks, Dairy Queen Grill & Chill, and Pizza Hut. The site is part of a planned development at the signalized intersection of Lima Road (26,514 vehicles per day), a major north-south thoroughfare, and Copper Mine Passage.

Surrounded by Major Growth Drivers. Located just one mile north of the future 100,000+ SF Kroger Marketplace, featuring a fuel center and commercial outlots, and one mile south of Huntertown Crossing, a transformative 34-acre, $76 million mixed-use development anchored by a new Parkview Health clinic.

Benefiting from the Presence of Northern Indiana's Largest Healthcare Employer. The property is situated only five miles from Parkview Regional Medical Center, a 738-bed regional hospital and the largest hospital in Fort Wayne. Parkview Health serves as the largest employer in the Fort Wayne MSA, providing a substantial and stable employment base.

Located Within One of Fort Wayne's Fastest-Growing Residential Corridors. The surrounding trade area continues to experience significant residential growth with nearby communities including Copper Creek (600+ homes), Sonora (320+ lots), Broad Acres (700+ lots), Hunter's Reserve, Shadow Creek, Silverstone Estates, and Twin Eagles, a master-planned luxury community featuring 346 homes.

Adjacent to a 43-Acre Mixed-Use Development. The property is an outparcel to the Shops at Copper Creek, a master-planned development that includes 600+ single-family homes, a 15,000 SF multi-tenant retail center, The Learning Experience daycare, Just 4 Kids Dentistry, and a 322-unit apartment community, creating significant consumer demand and daily traffic drivers.

Positioned at the Entrance to Future Multifamily Development. Directly across from the site is Aurora at Copper Creek, a planned 326-unit Class A apartment and townhome community spanning 20 acres, with Phase I construction targeted for 2027, further expanding the area's population base and consumer demand.
