5888 Steubenville Pike, McKees Rocks, PA 15136
Listing Price: $1,764,000
Investment Overview
INVESTMENT SUMMARY:
Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present Waterford Place, a 7,637-square-foot retail center located in the McKees Rocks area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Originally constructed in 2005, the property is 100% occupied by a complementary mix of service- oriented and e-commerce-resistant tenants, including DaVita Dialysis, Bruster’s Real Ice Cream, and Burgh’s Bagels.
Waterford Place has demonstrated exceptional tenant stability, with approximately 80% of its gross leasable area occupied by tenants that have operated at the property for more than 10 years. This established operating history, combined with the necessity- and service-based nature of the tenancy, provides investors with durable cash flow and reduced exposure to discretionary retail trends.
Despite its strong occupancy and positioning within an undersupplied submarket, Waterford Place’s rents average just $18.68 per square foot—well below prevailing market levels. This favorable basis creates a clear path to meaningful rental growth while also providing a substantial hedge against tenant relocation. Approximately 80% of the GLA is subject to contractual rent increases during the current lease terms and renewal options, while the remaining space has no renewal options, allowing ownership to negotiate market- based rents upon lease expiration. The property has a weighted-average lease term of over 3.5 years.
All leases are structured on a landlord-favorable triple-net basis, with tenants reimbursing real estate taxes, insurance, common-area maintenance expenses, and the majority of third-party management costs. This structure limits expense leakage and provides investors with stable, passive income and operational simplicity through the property’s low-tenant-count configuration.
DaVita Dialysis: is the property’s corporate-operated anchor, occupying 3,593 square feet and operating since 2014. DaVita recently extended its lease for an additional five years through 2029 and currently pays a modest rent of $14.29 per square foot, with 2.5% annual increases during the existing term and 10% increases throughout its renewal options. The property houses the only DaVita location within approximately a 12-minute drive, reinforcing the site’s importance within the company’s local treatment network. DaVita Inc. is publicly traded under the ticker NYSE: DVA, has a market capitalization exceeding $12.37 billion, and is one of the world’s largest providers of kidney- care services, operating more than 2,657 outpatient centers in the United States and approximately 585 international locations.
Bruster’s Real Ice Cream: recently exercised a new five-year renewal extending its lease through 2032,
demonstrating its continued commitment to the property. The tenant has operated at Waterford Place since 2016, and its renewed term includes two contractual rent increases. Bruster’s also retains two additional five-year renewal options with 2% annual rent escalations. The company operates more than 220 independently owned locations across 25 states, and Waterford Place is its only location within approximately a 15-mile radius. The lease is personally guaranteed by an established local franchisee, providing an additional layer of security for ownership.
Burgh’s Bagels: joined Waterford Place in 2022 under a six- year lease extending through 2028. The tenant currently pays $23.00 per square foot, providing tangible evidence of achievable rental growth at the property and supporting the opportunity to mark the center’s legacy rents closer to market over time. Burgh’s has no remaining renewal options, allowing ownership to negotiate market-based terms upon lease expiration. The restaurant has quickly established itself as a popular local concept and maintains a 4.5-star rating based on more than 200 customer reviews
