This single-tenant, long term lease investment opportunity is a chance for an investor to buy a strong cash flow building with market annual increases. The current lease with Pre-Con, a subcontractor for Honeywell International, Inc., has been in place for over 12 years.

The property contains 1.719 acres just off the premier thoroughfare in Petersburg, US Highway 460.
The industrial market in the Richmond-Petersburg area is extremely strong as demand exceeds supply by a significant margin. Rental rates have risen considerably but remain much more reasonable compared to the Northern Virginia market, providing a long-term strategic advantage. Petersburg sits at the intersection of I-95 and I-85, making it a distribution hub for the entire East Coast.
220 Perry Street has a Modified Gross Lease structure with the tenant responsible for all utilities and maintenance of the building. The buyer of this property will be able to secure a robust return with very little management headaches.
