Cap Rates Used in ROIC Calculations


Poor Charlie

Recommended Posts

I have a question for the real estate / retail people:  Why do most companies use 6-7x to capitalize their leases?

 

Assuming it’s a net lease, the tenant’s rent expense should be close to the owner’s NOI.  Owners capitalize their property at 16-17x (cap rate of 6% for Class A), so why should the tenant capitalize their lease at 6x for ROIC calculations?

The 6-7x capitalization is due to the lease duration. 6-7x lease capitalization equates to an duration or roughly 10 years discounted.
