Highlights:
- Absolute NNN Lease; Zero Landlord Responsibility: 30-year original term with 21 years remaining. Tenant responsible for all expenses, including property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance.
- Experienced Regional Operator with Deep Industry Roots: Operated by Custom Carwash Concepts LLC, a full-service firm with over 40 years of combined experience in car wash design, construction, and operations. The vertically integrated model ensures operational consistency and long-term performance stability.
- High-Traffic Corridor with Retail and Employment Synergy: Positioned along Imperial Highway near Lakewood Boulevard, benefiting from ±53,830 cars per day and ±14.3 million annual visitors (Placer.ai) to nearby regional shopping destinations. Close proximity to Kaiser Permanente Downey Medical Center (±5,600 employees) drives consistent weekday activity.
- Prime Infill Los Angeles County Location: Located in the heart of Downey — one of Southeast LA County’s most vibrant, supply constrained trade areas — with ±750,000 residents and average household incomes exceeding $114,000 within five miles. The area’s demographic strength supports durable, long-term retail demand.
- 100% Bonus Depreciation: Car wash improvements and equipment may qualify for accelerated depreciation, with most components potentially eligible for 100% bonus depreciation (buyer to verify). This provides a unique opportunity for substantial first-year deductions and enhanced after-tax returns.
- Internet-Resilient, Service-Based Use: Express car washes offer a necessity-based, internet-resistant service with stable customer demand through all economic cycles. The asset’s durable use category and proven operator performance make it a defensive, income-focused investment.
- Below-Market Rent with Long-Term Upside: Current rent is below market for a fully equipped express car wash in Southeast LA County. With two 5-year renewal options at fair market value, investors are positioned for secure cash flow today and potential income growth upon renewal or re-tenanting.
- Limited Supply and High Barriers to Entry in LA County: Express car wash sites are difficult to develop in Los Angeles County due to restrictive zoning and long entitlement processes. Limited supply drives tenant retention and long-term stability. As a fully entitled site in a dense trade area, Crystal Cave Car Wash offers competitive insulation and lasting value.
