ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Unbranded Gas Station with Real Estate + Business and Improvements (in 2 years)

Situated within a high-traffic shopping center anchored by Whole Foods Market, this Valero-branded gas station enjoys exceptional visibility and daily consumer traffic from one of Santa Rosa’s most prominent retail corridors. Whole Foods, a premier high-end grocer, drives consistent customer flow and positions the property within an affluent, destination retail node.

The site features five EMV-compliant Gilbarco Encore 700S dispensers and four double-wall fiberglass underground storage tanks, offering fuel grades 87, 89, 91, and diesel.

The property is currently operated under a NNN lease with Valero through 2027. Upon lease expiration, all improvements—including dispensers, tanks, and structures—revert to landlord ownership. Valero is contractually obligated to return the property free of environmental contamination and provides full indemnification to the landlord. The tenant bears complete responsibility

for environmental closure and remediation, meaning the landlord will receive a turnkey, environmentally cleared service station valued substantially above land-only pricing. Key value drivers include: investment-grade tenant credit, absolute NNN expense structure, full improvement reversion creating substantial terminal value, environmental liability borne entirely by tenant, and strategic Santa Rosa location with strong demographics and traffic patterns.

Upside Potential:

  • Ability to reposition post-lease as an owner-user site or independent operator.

  • Option to convert the mechanic shop and existing C-store into a larger, higher-margin convenience store.

  • Potential to reallocate tank capacity for E85 and 89-grade fuel to capture broader market demand.

  • Disclaimer: Buyer to independently verify all information. Broker and Seller make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the above details.
