One of the best investments a business can make is owning the place they operate out of: an "Owner-User" opportunity in the commercial brokerage world. I've highlighted three options for business owners who are looking for their own space to expand and hopefully start to capture some of the great tax benefits that real estate offers to business owners.
P.S.: You will purchase the building in an LLC that you own and lease back the space to your business.
1505 King St., Alexandria, VA
Old Town Alexandria, VA
• List Price: $1,150,000
• 2,100 SQ FT.
• The listing broker has this listed as a development opportunity, which gives you more exit strategies in the future. You can operate out of the space currently, and once your business grows, you have a property zoned for future development to add more leasable square footage. In Old Town Alexandria, you can get $32-$36/SQ FT.
• Projected Rents: $67,200 annually
228 S Washington #100, Alexandria, VA
Old Town Alexandria, VA
List Price: $1,200,000
2,500 SQ FT.
This property is currently on a NNN lease for $39/SQ FT. The tenants are moving out at the end of March, leaving it as a perfect opportunity to occupy the space or lease it up as an investment. This unit has two entrances and exposure on Washington for your company branding. Not to mention, there are four parking spaces for your employees, which is unheard of in Old Town. Great for the growing business owner.
1312 Pennsylvania Ave. SE
Capitol Hill, DC
• List Price: $1,375,000
• 2,337 SQ FT.
• This amazing location in Capitol Hill, DC, is perfect for a law firm or real estate firm. With some slight renovations, this building could become an incredible asset to attract high-quality talent from the Hill. The common courtyard will be a great asset as well.
As I become more sophisticated in my real estate investing career, I find that I prefer commercial assets over residential. Business owners have the unique opportunity to own the space they operate out of and reduce their taxable income through the ownership of real estate. If you are interested in owning your own space in 2025, reach out to BPG Residential, and we can help you locate the perfect investment.
Happy Investing!
