West Broadway Denny’s Site Sells in $26.25MM Deal

After much industry speculation, the Denny’s property has sold to a group led by local developer Anthony Pappajohn. The purchase price was $26,250,000, which equates to $467 per buildable SF for the 18,750 SF C-3A zoned site. Denny’s lease expires in April 2018, creating near term redevelopment potential.

The site had been listed for sale in late 2015 by Jones Lang Lasalle without an asking price and garnered significant interest given it’s location.

C-3A zoned properties on or near Broadway have been attracting a lot of attention due to the zone’s attractiveness with residential entitlements to 3.0 FSR. Likewise, many buyers view the long-term upzone potential in this area as an attractive feature.
