The Boulder Group announced the release of its 1st Quarter Triple Net Lease Research Report
The Boulder Group announced the release of its 1st Quarter Net Lease Research Report today. The report features a comprehensive format with specific net lease sector information. Cap rates in the single tenant net lease sector increased for the 12th consecutive quarter for the overall net lease sector in the first quarter of 2025. Overall cap rates rose to 6.78%, representing a modest two basis point increase from the previous quarter. Single tenant cap rates increased to 6.56% (+4 bps) for retail, 7.80% (+2 bps) for office and 7.23% (unchanged) for industrial.
'The persistent upward trend in net lease cap rates now spans three years,' says Randy Blankstein, President, The Boulder Group. 'This is reflective of sustained high borrowing costs and inflationary pressures.'
Property supply in the single tenant sector increased by more than 5% when compared to the prior quarter. Over the past two years supply has surged nearly 30%, a consequence of lessened transaction velocity and a pricing gap between buyers and sellers.
'Of all the net lease sub-sectors, the drug store sector is experiencing the slowest transaction volume and a glut of supply' adds Jimmy Goodman, Partner, The Boulder Group.
Recent news regarding private equity company Sycamore Partners acquisition of Walgreens further compounded the issue. Uncertainty over Sycamore's long-term strategy has deepened the sub-sector's supply and slowed deal flow. Accordingly, cap rates in the drug store sector increased by 44 basis points quarter over quarter with limited transactions.
'Cap rates in the drug store sector increased by 44 basis points quarter over quarter with limited transactions,' John Feeney, Senior Vice President, The Boulder Group adds.
The net lease market continues to adjust to the higher rate environment experienced in recent years. Transaction volume increased in the fourth quarter and the expectation is that there will be a slight uptick in volume in 2025. Investors will be carefully monitoring the capital markets following the Fed's decision to hold rates steady following their March meeting. If short term rates continue to drop in the near term and uncertainty remains in the overall financial markets, net lease activity is expected to increase but nowhere near pricing or transactions volume in peak times (2020-2021).

DÔEN Raises Series A Round to Support Global Expansion
DÔEN, a Los Angeles-based lifestyle brand, raised a Series A funding round led by Silas Capital. The brand is known for its feminine silhouettes, commitment to impact environmental responsibility and women-first ethos. Before this round, it had raised about $1 million in outside capital and has organically grown to $100 million in revenue. The brand, founded by California-born sisters Margaret and Katherine Kleveland, launched in 2016 as a digitally native fashion brand. Its first collection offered women's dresses, knits and tops, footwear and children's wear. Since then, it has evolved into a full lifestyle brand, having introduced categories including outerwear, denim, swim, tees, sleep & loungewear, delicates and a home capsule. DÔEN currently operates seven brick-and-mortar locations, including recent openings in Marin and Nantucket, Mass. 'This has been a long time in the making, as our top priority was finding a partner who aligns with our values and long-term vision for growing DÔEN,' said Margaret Kleveland, co-founder and chief executive of DÔEN, in a statement. 'Silas Capital has a strong track record of supporting authentic, organic community building and helping their portfolio companies scale in thoughtful, sustainable ways.' The funding round represents a key milestone in the company's continued growth and global expansion. The company was advised by Beverly Hills-based Ervin Cohen & Jessup LLP on the funding round. 'It has been a distinct privilege to advise DÔEN – a woman-founded and women-led company – since its early days,' said Vanja Habekovic, Ervin Cohen & Jessup partner, who led the deal team.

Expansion, safety concerns drive plans for new West Springfield Police HQ
WEST SPRINGFIELD ― As a new fiscal year begins, West Springfield Mayor William C. Reichelt is taking steps to modernize the community's police force. Reichelt plans to hire an architect to evaluate the Walgreens site next door to City Hall, believing it offers more space than the department's current two floors in the municipal building. Police Chief Jay Gearing says a new police headquarters is needed to better serve the community and support officers. During a recent tour of the department, The Republican observed cramped conditions at the headquarters, which is spread over three floors with crowded rooms and non-compliant spaces. For instance, a black box with sprawling cords, described by Gearing as 'the pulse' of the West Springfield Police Department, sits in the middle of a floor, vulnerable to foot traffic. The box houses a computer system that connects with other law enforcement agencies. 'If it were to be unplugged or bumped offline, Boston or Quincy would be calling within 15 minutes,' he said. The computer system lies within the department's records room, which contains paper files dating back to 2018 that Gearing said the department is sorting through. 'Court cases can drag on for many reasons, and we need access to the paperwork,' he said. The records area should be dedicated and secluded from the public, but when the town acquired the building in the 1970s, those standards did not exist, Gearing said. The department has been managing with the current setup, but the building's limitations are becoming increasingly apparent, Gearing said. 'We know what we need to do as far as amenities and space in work areas, but the footprint is behind,' he said. The proposed project comes as the community is working to expand the ranks of officers as well. The town uses a company to prescreen and test candidates for the police academy, moving away from hiring officers outside of the civil service system. Reichelt said this is the first time in the last 10 years the town is close to fully staffing the department. 'Taking officers out of civil service has helped the department recruit faster and replace them more quickly,' Reichelt said. With the department nearing full capacity of around 74 sworn officers and 15-18 supervisors, Reichelt said the department will expand the traffic, narcotics and detective bureaus. The department has six detectives, three sergeants and added a lieutenant position last year. These officers work on the third floor, while patrol and other departments are on the first floor of City Hall. Reichelt said the last upgrades to the detective bureau were in 2017. He said it isn't best practice to split the department across two floors. 'They have to go up two flights of stairs, and there is a disconnect with the first-floor patrol,' Reichelt said. 'There is no room for growth. If they want to change something, we have the space that we have.' Gearing says the lack of a radio system on the third floor is a major issue, as it's standard for police departments. While the first floor has a radio connected to a speaker for everyone to hear dispatchers, detectives on the third floor must carry portable radios to hear calls for service. The department is contending with a shift to major crimes like homicide, manslaughter, shootings, stabbings and sexual assaults, Gearing said. Existing interview rooms on the third floor are a significant concern, Gearing said. When police have someone in custody, they have to walk them through City Hall's main doors, take a public elevator or climb three flights of stairs to the interrogation rooms. 'It is not good for business, it is not good for suspects, it is not good all around,' Gearing said. 'It is a practice we want to get away from.' Storage in the evidence room and narcotics areas is clean and organized but packed to the ceilings. 'Were quickly approaching our limit,' Gearing said of available space. Everything from guns to sexual assault kits dating back to 2016 are stored. While the department is purging unnecessary items, evidence for people with outstanding warrants is kept until their capture. Fireworks, guns and ammunition must be disposed of by the state police bomb squad. But sexual assault and murder kits must be kept forever, Gearing said. 'The courts are busier too, so that slows us down in purging things,' Gearing said. Sgt. Michael Reid, who oversees the traffic bureau, investigations and administration, said that while working in the former boiler room, converted in the 1990s, he can hear conversations and toilets flushing from both City Hall restrooms. 'I can barely hear the men, and the women's voices are muffled,' Reid said. The room is decorated with playful signs that say 'Don't mind the grunting,' to keep the atmosphere light for residents, he said. A few weeks ago, after a tragic motorcycle accident, the noise made things uncomfortable. Reid had to warn the family about the noise. 'It is their privacy too,' he said. 'We should be able to have residents come into a nicer setting,' Gearing said. For a long time, only one woman worked as an officer in the department. Now, the department has nine. Because of limited space, the women's locker room is in a supply closet. Gearing said the women officers, who are part of a union, recently filed a complaint with the town about the conditions. They decided to drop it for now, hoping for a new headquarters. 'It could rear its ugly head again if something happened and the project fell through,' he said. On the way to the men's locker room in the basement, a former fingerprint room is now used to store records. It has flooded twice and is growing black mold. The men's locker room is bigger, but has no showers. It is dark, dank, dusty and far from everything in the building. Only 25 officers use it, the chief said. 'Most all modern police departments now have proper locker rooms because officers encounter biohazards on the job and don't want to bring it home to their families,' Gearing said. Recently, a committee considered the Walgreens site for the new headquarters. Reichelt sees value in keeping all municipal offices close together to maintain their connection. 'Whatever is done, I want to make sure it is affordable and best for the community,' Reichelt said. 'The police risk their lives, and what kind of value are we investing in the people who quite arguably go out every day with a chance they might not come back?' Gearing said morale in the department is excellent, but believes a new facility would improve it. The chief recalls being hired in 1996 and starting a midnight shift.

Juliana Stratton's US Senate bid endorsed by House Speaker Emanuel ‘Chris' Welch
Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton on Monday added more endorsements in her campaign for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Dick Durbin, with Illinois House Speaker Emanuel 'Chris' Welch and a number of other state lawmakers announcing their support. Backing for Stratton from the Democratic Party of Proviso, a political operation headed by Welch, comes as no surprise. Welch, of Hillside, and Stratton served together as rank-and-file lawmakers in the Illinois House, and Welch said he knocked on doors for Stratton ahead of her election to the House in 2016 when she defeated longtime state Rep. Ken Dunkin of Chicago. In declaring his support for Stratton's U.S. Senate run Monday morning, Welch described the lieutenant governor as a proven leader who, as a House member from January 2017 to December 2018, stood up to former Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner during a two-year budget impasse that decimated state services and brought hardship to Illinois' economy. 'She's already proven to us who she is. She's already proven to us what she stands for. And she did something about it. She ran. She won,' Welch, flanked by several state and municipal elected officials, told the crowd at the Ironworkers Local 63 offices in suburban Broadview. 'And I was proud to stand with her on the House floor in the end of the Republican budget crisis.' Stratton, who is from Chicago's South Side, served in the legislature at a time when the 'tide turned in Illinois' for Democrats, Welch noted. The state House went from a 65-51 Democratic majority during the 2017-2018 legislative term to a 74-44 Democratic majority in the 2019-2020 term. Rauner ended up losing by a landslide in his 2018 reelection bid to JB Pritzker, who chose Stratton as his running mate. Welch also appeared to draw a parallel between Rauner, a wealthy hedge fund executive, and Republican President Donald Trump — a frequent target of criticism for Pritzker and other Democrats over policies that include the sweeping tax breaks and spending cuts under a bill the president signed July 4 that could negatively impact Illinois residents who rely on Medicaid and other public assistance. 'We faced a billionaire Republican who wanted to cut this state to the bone. We faced a billionaire Republican who tried to cut health care for seniors, for veterans and for families in need. We faced a billionaire Republican whose only agenda was to give special deals to his ultra-wealthy friends. Does that sound familiar at all to you all?' Welch said, drawing a few groans of agreement in the room without having to mention Trump's name. 'She knows how to fight.' In her remarks, Stratton took a more direct swipe at Trump and his 'big beautiful bill.' 'What we're living through now is truly unprecedented. Donald Trump has ignited a five-alarm fire and the chaos has reached a fever pitch. Attacks on the rule of law. Attacks on the Constitution. Attacks on our neighbors,' Stratton said. 'Just look at what he did (earlier this month). Cutting health care for millions of Americans, ripping food out of the mouths of hungry children, raising costs for middle-class families. And he had the audacity to call it 'beautiful.' Well, I call it despicable. And it's also dangerous.' Stratton's remarks come as Pritzker, who threw his support behind her Senate campaign shortly after she announced in late April, issued an executive order directing state agencies to evaluate the scope and impact of Trump's tariffs on how they would affect key economic sectors in Illinois. The governor is asking state agencies to look into the industries and economic development regions most affected by trade-related disruption and to check on supply chain disruptions of medical supplies and disruptions that could adversely affect food assistance programs. Among those at the event to endorse Stratton were Illinois Senate Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford of Maywood; Assistant House Majority Leader Bob Morgan of Deerfield; Assistant House Majority Leader Camille Lilly of Chicago; state Rep. Norma Hernandez of Melrose Park; and state Reps. Mary Beth Canty and Nicolle Grasse, both of Arlington Heights. Previously announced support came from the state's other sitting U.S. senator, Democrat Tammy Duckworth. While a larger field is expected, Stratton's major announced Democratic opponents so far are U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly of Matteson and U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Schaumburg, whose campaign on Monday announced a slew of endorsements from local officials for his candidacy. With backing from Pritzker, a billionaire and heir to the Hyatt Hotels fortune, Stratton has the potential to raise big money before the March primary. But Krishnamoorthi has also proven to be an able fundraiser. Through March, his campaign raised about $19 million, federal elections records show. Asked about Krishnamoorthi's fundraising ability, Stratton said she instead sees more 'momentum of my campaign.' While the latest true accounting of Krishnamoorthi and Stratton's campaign coffers won't be available until later in the week, Stratton said she was able to raise more than $1 million 'through grassroots support.' 'I started from scratch when I ran for this federal race, and the fact that we were able to set a goal of a seven-figure dollar amount and exceeded that, I think it shows the strength of my campaign,' she said. 'And remember, I also made the commitment to not accept any corporate PAC (political action committee) money.'
