Los Angeles – Avison Young, the world’s fastest-growing commercial real estate services firm, announced today that it has brokered the sales of two single-tenant restaurant properties occupied by KFC in the cities of Richmond, VA, and Newport News, VA, totaling $4.16 million. Both assets feature new 15-year triple net leases with corporate guarantees by the parent company, KBP Foods, Inc.

Avison Young Principals Chris Maling and David Maling, who are both based in the company’s downtown Los Angeles office, represented the seller of both properties, SBKFC Holdings, LLC. They also represented the buyer of the Newport News property. The buyers of both properties are California-based private investors.

“These assets were conveniently located in strong retail corridors with a lot of consumer activity,” said Maling. “Additionally, they featured 10 percent rental increases every five years and two five-year options to extend the leases with no landlord responsibilities, creating an attractive, passive investment.”
