International Capital, LLC, a boutique commercial real estate firm based in Dallas, successfully brokered the sale of a net-leased O’Reilly Auto Parts property. The retail asset is in Whitehouse, Texas, a growing East Texas community situated just south of Tyler. The transaction was completed in cooperation with Jennifer Pierson and Connor Jabbar of Dallas-based STRIVE Real Estate.

The seller, a long-term client of International Capital, LLC, elected to trade out of the asset to reinvest the proceeds into shorter-term development projects. The property was acquired by a local Texas investor utilizing a 1031 tax-deferred exchange. At the time of closing, more than 9 years remained on the retailer's original 20-year lease.

“Net-leased automotive retail properties remain a top choice for investors prioritizing stability," said Martina Crevecoeur, SVP at International Capital, LLC. "Matching this asset with a local 1031 buyer allowed a seamless execution of our client’s capital redeployment strategy, while providing the buyer with a secure, corporate-backed income stream.”

O'Reilly Auto Parts (NASDAQ: ORLY) is considered a premier net-lease investment vehicle due to its investment-grade credit, corporate-backed lease structure, and proven e-commerce resistance. The automotive aftermarket sector continues to perform strongly as the rising average age of consumer vehicles sustains steady demand for retail parts.
