Secure Net Lease, a nationally recognized brokerage firm, has successfully closed the sale of a newly constructed Starbucks in Navasota, Texas. The property was acquired by a private 1031 exchange investor based in Houston, highlighting continued demand for nationally recognized, net-leased assets in Texas’ growing secondary markets.

Edward Benton, who represented the seller, shared, “This one was definitely a more challenging deal, but staying patient and trusting the process ultimately got us across the finish line. We were able to source a 1031 exchange buyer out of Houston, and it took some persistence and strong communication to keep everything moving in the right direction, but we stayed on top of it through every step. In the end, we were able to get it closed at a very aggressive cap rate for the Navasota market, which made the extra effort well worth it.”

The ±2,365-square-foot Starbucks is located at 2002 State Highway 105 E in Navasota, just southeast of the Bryan-College Station area. Positioned at a high-visibility intersection along one of the city’s primary commercial corridors, the site offers exceptional access and exposure to daily commuter and local traffic.

That helped make the process very efficient. We were able to close right on schedule, and it ended up being a win-win on both sides. The buyer was happy with the asset, and we closed at a very strong cap rate for the Fort Worth market, so everyone walked away feeling good about how it all came together.”

Located at 2929 E. Berry Street in Fort Worth, this ±2,325-square-foot building sits on a high-traffic corridor with strong surrounding demographics and nearby national retailers.

This transaction demonstrates Secure Net Lease’s ability to revive listings previously held by other brokers and align them with motivated, qualified buyers through targeted marketing and existing client relationships.

Kyle Varni, who represented the seller, shared, “We took this deal over from another broker who had it listed previously. Once we brought it to market, we quickly generated multiple offers and ended up sourcing a repeat Circle K buyer—someone who had closed on another Circle K property with us in the past. He was a really easygoing buyer, highly motivated to close, and the seller was just as aligned, which made for a smooth transaction. We actually ended up closing a little earlier than expected because of how efficient the process was.”

The property is located at 5601 Alameda Blvd NE in Albuquerque and consists of a ±3,700-square-foot convenience store situated on a well-positioned site.

Kyle Varni, who represented the seller, shared, “This was a deal we took over from another broker who’d had it on the market for a while.

The property is located along Sherwood Way, a high-traffic commercial corridor in San Angelo, just west of downtown. The ±550-square-foot drive-thru-only asset sits in front of a Walmart Supercenter and shares the parcel with a Take 5 Oil Change.

It is surrounded by strong national retailers including H-E-B, Chick-fil-A, Lowe’s, and Walgreens. The newly constructed 7 Brew opened in 2024.

“We had some buyers already circling other 7 Brew listings we had on the market, and within about a month of listing this one, we found a 1031 exchange buyer that the deal fit almost perfectly. From there, everything came together quickly. It was a smooth, all-cash closing, and we’d already worked with some of the people involved before, so that made the process even easier. It ended up being a great deal all around that closed at a very aggressive cap rate for the area” Varni concluded.

This transaction highlights Secure Net Lease’s ability to re-energize listings that have lingered on the market and reposition them successfully.

The deal was executed all-cash and closed on time after Secure Net Lease stepped in to reposition the asset and identify the right buyer.

Matthew Scow, who represented the seller, shared, “This was a deal we took over from another broker who had been marketing it for a while. Once we got involved, we were able to reposition the listing and quickly identify a qualified local buyer who was in a 1031 exchange and actively looking for a QSR property at that price point. From there, everything moved pretty smoothly through closing. In markets like Illinois or Wisconsin, it often makes sense to work with local buyers who understand the nuances of the tax structure and the regional dynamics. That local knowledge can make all the difference in getting a deal across the finish line.”

The property is located at 2560 N. Sutton Road in Hoffman Estates, a northwest suburb of Chicago, and includes a ±2,349-square-foot building with a drive-thru.
