PNC Bank Tenant Overview

Tenant Description

PNC is a retail bank, that offers a wide range of services to its customers.

PNC Bank's solid footing and strong investment grade credit rating make it a very attractive commodity to passive investors in the NNN investment market. PNC Bank is growing their network of bank branches, with increasingly visible locations in both urban and suburban settings. PNC sites are approximately 1.00 - 1.5 acres with improvements of 3,500 to 4,800 square feet. Many are sold as ground leases* to NNN investors.

*In a ground lease, the investor/landlord owns the ground and the tenant (typically) builds and owns the improvements. The tenant leases the ground from the investor/landlord and on the tenant's default or other termination of the lease; the building becomes the property of the ground owner. Ground leases are extremely passive investments and generally sell at 50 to 125 basis points below the average cap rate for NNN "fee simple" ownership of ground and structure transactions leased by the same tenant.

The PNC Bank ground leases typically have an initial term of 15 to 20 years with up to five (5) five-year renewal options. Furthermore, the PNC Bank ground lease provides rent increases of 10-15% every five (5) years. These features make the PNC ground lease a highly sought after investment opportunity.
