Sell Your Walgreens Property
Considering selling your Walgreens property? Since Walgreens was taken private in 2025, buyers treat it as an unrated tenant, but a well-located corner with solid store performance still draws demand. NNN Realty explains what affects your property’s value, how buyers evaluate Walgreens leases today, and what to expect when you sell.
The Walgreens Market at a Glance
Short Answer
A Walgreens property is valued on its rent and the cap rate buyers accept for a privately held tenant without a public credit rating. Most leases are NNN with flat rent, so the tenant covers building costs but income does not grow during the primary term, which makes the years remaining especially important. Buyers also focus on the entity responsible for the lease after the company’s 2025 restructuring, store sales and prescription volume, and the strength of the corner.
- Typical cap rate
- 7.75% to 9.25%
- Typical sale price
- $3M to $4M
- Typical term left at sale
- 5 to 10 years
- Typical lease type
- NNN

How to Sell Your Walgreens Property
Selling a Walgreens property calls for clear answers on the remaining term, the tenant entity and how the store performs. Our process assembles that information, sets pricing against current Walgreens sales, and manages the transaction from valuation through closing.
Property Review & Valuation
We review the remaining primary term, renewal options, the NNN or NN structure, and the tenant and any guarantor named in the lease, which is commonly Walgreen Co. We also assess the corner, traffic and access, land value, building condition, any store sales or prescription information you can share, and recent Walgreens sales, then recommend a value and asking price that reflect how buyers are pricing this tenant now.
Market Positioning & Buyer Targeting
Our offering memorandum leads with the real estate and the store’s role in its market, supported by professional photography and drone imagery of the corner and access points. We then reach out to buyers comfortable with unrated pharmacy credit, including private investors, 1031 exchange buyers and value-focused net lease funds, with nationwide marketing exposure.
Offers, Buyer Qualification & Negotiations
We evaluate offers on price, buyer experience, financing or proof of funds, and the proposed due diligence and closing timeline. Financing can be harder to secure for an unrated tenant, so we confirm each buyer’s lender or cash position early. We help negotiate a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) on the main terms, then move to a formal Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA).
Due Diligence & Closing
After the Purchase and Sale Agreement is executed, the buyer usually has about 30–45 days of due diligence to review the lease, title, survey, environmental reports and the physical condition of the property.
We coordinate document delivery, site visits and the tenant estoppel, which confirms the tenant entity and lease status in writing, and keep the attorneys, title company and lender on track. Depending on the purchase agreement, the deposit may become nonrefundable after due diligence expires, subject to contractual exceptions, and closing commonly follows within about 15–30 days. Timelines vary by transaction.
What Is My Walgreens Property Worth?
The value of a Walgreens property is primarily determined by its net operating income (NOI) and the capitalization rate (cap rate) buyers are willing to accept. However, not every Walgreens trades at the same cap rate. Remaining term, the tenant entity, store performance and the strength of the corner real estate can move the price substantially.
How Cap Rates Affect Your Property’s Value
A cap rate represents the relationship between a property’s annual net operating income and its purchase price. Generally, a lower cap rate results in a higher property value, while a higher cap rate results in a lower value.
Example: $300,000 annual NOI at 8.5% cap rate = approximately $3,529,412 estimated property value.
Property Value = Annual NOI ÷ Cap Rate

Factors That Influence Walgreens Property Values
Remaining Lease Term
Many Walgreens closures have come as leases expire, so buyers see more vacancy risk as the end of the term approaches. Properties with meaningful term left draw broader demand and stronger pricing.
Tenant Entity After the 2025 Restructuring
Sycamore Partners took Walgreens private and separated it into five standalone businesses, so buyers check which entity is obligated under your lease. Leases are commonly signed by Walgreen Co., but the tenant and any guarantee should be confirmed from your documents.
Store Sales & Prescription Volume
A busy store is the best evidence it will renew. Any sales or prescription figures you can share help buyers get comfortable with the credit.
Corner Location & Land Value
Most Walgreens stores sit on hard corners with good access, and that real estate is the buyer’s fallback if the store ever closes. Traffic, visibility and land value all support pricing.
Flat Rent & Lease Structure
Rent is usually flat through the primary term, so income does not grow until an option begins. Most leases are NNN, while NN leases that leave the roof and structure with the owner trade at higher cap rates.
Walgreens as a Tenant
Walgreens operates retail pharmacies across the United States and runs its stores itself rather than franchising. Sycamore Partners completed its acquisition of Walgreens Boots Alliance on August 28, 2025, and Walgreens now operates as one of five standalone companies; leases are commonly signed by Walgreen Co. The tenant entity and any guarantee vary by lease, so confirm both from your lease documents.
News reports in August 2026 put the chain at about 8,000 U.S. locations, and Walgreens confirmed additional store closures that summer. Without a public credit rating, buyers lean on the remaining term, store performance and the corner itself, so a well-documented lease package matters more than it did when the company was publicly traded.
