Why did W.P. Carey pay $340/SF for a US-192 corridor property?
WPC (NYSE: WPC, $20B+ net-lease assets) underwrote: NNN lease structure, geographically captive tourism tenant, zero competing supply, and 75-million-visitor demand base. At ~5.5% cap, annual NOI ~$787K. Local investors who replicate that NNN-stabilized profile at $130–$165/SF capture a 106–162% gross spread to WPC's pricing.
