Walgreens is the sole occupant of the 12,827 square foot retail building that was developed in 2012.

Uniondale Avenue is the only north-south thoroughfare that runs through the community and the property experiences traffic counts in excess of 38,000 vehicles per day. There are over 560,000 people living within five miles of the property earning an annual average household income in excess of $105,000. The property is fully leased to Walgreens with over 23 years of primary lease term remaining.
Randy Blankstein and Jimmy Goodman of The Boulder Group represented the seller, a New York based development firm, in the transaction. The buyer was a private partnership based in New York.
Walgreens has 23 years of primary lease term remaining on an original 25 year lease that commenced October 2012. Walgreens is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (WAG), with a market capitalization of $56 billion. Walgreens is an investment grade rated company with a Standard & Poor’s rating of BBB and they operate over 8,560 locations.
