The asset

A pharmacy where the traffic and the hospital both are.

Built in 2011 as a relocation from a smaller footprint nearby, this Walgreens moved here for a drive-thru, a larger parking field and better traffic flow — the things that decide whether a pharmacy keeps renewing.

The site is a genuine four-corner location with two signalised intersections and three points of ingress and egress, capturing both Benton Drive and 2nd Street traffic: over 43,000 vehicles a day combined. It sits across from the 57-unit Mississippi Lofts apartment complex.

St. Cloud Hospital is 1.3 miles away — 489 beds, more than 6,500 staff and over 500 physicians, the largest healthcare facility in the region and a durable, non-discretionary driver of pharmacy demand.

landlord responsibilities. An absolute net lease with a corporate guaranty is about as close as commercial real estate gets to a bond with a building attached: the tenant carries taxes, insurance, maintenance, roof and structure, and Walgreens itself stands behind the obligation.

Why this corner

Three things that make a pharmacy stay put.

Pharmacy real estate lives and dies on access and on what is nearby. This site has an unusually strong version of both, which is the argument for eleven years of remaining term and fifty options.

01

A true four-corner site

Two signalised intersections and three points of ingress and egress, capturing both Benton Drive and 2nd Street traffic — over 43,000 vehicles a day combined.

02

1.3 miles from the region's hospital

St. Cloud Hospital is the largest healthcare facility in the region: 489 beds, 6,500+ staff and 500+ physicians, generating consistent, non-discretionary pharmacy demand.

03

Built for the way it trades

A 2011 relocation from a smaller nearby store, purpose-built with a drive-thru, a larger parking lot and improved traffic flow. Walgreens chose this corner deliberately.
