• Investment-Grade Corporate Guarantee with 40-Year Earning Potential: Leased to Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG, S&P: A-), one of the strongest credit tenants in the QSR sector, on a brand-new 15-year Absolute Triple Net (NNN) Lease with 5-year renewal options extending the total potential term to 40 years. Chipotle operates over 3,600 restaurants and generated $11.3 billion in revenue in 2024, delivering an unmatched credit profile for passive Triple Net (NNN) investors.
• Zero Landlord Responsibility – True Absolute Triple Net (NNN) Lease Structure: The tenant is responsible for all property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and repairs, including the roof, structure, parking, and all building systems. The lease features contractual 10% rent increases every 5 years across all renewal periods, providing built-in income growth with no management burden.
• 2025 New Construction Built-to-Suit with Chipotlane Drive-Thru: This is a brand-new, purpose-built Chipotle featuring the company’s latest prototype design and a dedicated Chipotlane (drive-thru pickup lane). Chipotlane locations consistently outperform traditional Chipotle stores in both revenue and transaction volume, generating approximately 10–15% higher throughput, a signal of strong unit-level economics at this location.
• Outparcel to the Shoppes at Rio Grande Valley – 1.2M+ SF Regional Power Center: Positioned on the Closner Parcel of The Shoppes at Rio Grande Valley, a dominant 1.2 million+ SF regional shopping destination anchored by Burlington, TJ Maxx, Ross, JCPenney, and Academy Sports + Outdoors. The Chipotle pad is situated alongside Dutch Bros Coffee on Closner Boulevard (Business US-281), one of Edinburg’s primary commercial corridors, with immediate adjacency to US Highway 69/US-281 Expressway.
• Dense, Growing Trade Area Anchored by UTRGV’s 32,000+ Students: Over 86,500 residents live within a 3-mile radius of the property. Edinburg is the county seat of Hidalgo County and home to The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), the second-largest university in the UT System, with 32,000+ enrolled students, a massive, built-in customer base for Chipotle’s core 18–34 age demographic. The McAllen- Edinburg-Mission MSA (population 900,000+) has ranked among the fastest-growing metros in the U.S. for over a decade.
• High-Visibility Closner Boulevard Corridor with Expressway Access: Closner Boulevard (Business US-281) is the primary north-south commercial artery connecting Edinburg’s university district to the US-69/US-281 Expressway and the greater McAllen MSA. The property benefits from a hard corner position with frontage on the boulevard, a drive-thru lane, and dedicated exclusive parking, delivering strong visibility and convenience for both drive-thru and dine-in traffic.
• Exclusive Use Protection – No Competing Mexican QSR in the Restricted Area: The lease grants Chipotle an exclusive right to sell burritos, Mexican-style wraps, fajitas, and tacos within the center’s restricted area, with 50% rent abatement and termination rights as enforcement remedies. This covenant of exclusivity protects both the tenant’s operations and the investor’s income stream from competitive dilution within the broader shopping center.
• Attractive Basis Relative to Texas Chipotle Comparables: At the indicated pricing range, this property offers a compelling entry point versus comparable Texas Chipotle Triple Net (NNN) deals, which are currently marketed at an average of $3.72M (~4.6% CAP Rate). Sold comps for corporately-guaranteed Chipotles in Texas have averaged approximately $3.38M at a 4.80% CAP Rate, positioning this new-construction, drive-thru-equipped asset competitively within the market.
