Description

`Nestled in the heart of Novato, Downtown Novato Center is proudly co-anchored by Lucky California and CVS Pharmacy. With over 30 years of dedication to the center and recently renewed 10-year lease commitments, these longstanding tenants highlight the center’s enduring appeal. Boasting exceptional curb appeal and a charming park-like atmosphere, Downtown Novato Center serves as a vibrant hub and cherished destination for the Novato community.

Highlights

  • Both Lucky California and CVS Pharmacy are paying well below current market rents, presenting a compelling mark-to-market opportunity for the next owner over the long term.
  • CVS generates outstanding sales volumes, with year over year growth, far exceeding percentage rent thresholds, serving as a powerful hedge against inflation. With no remaining renewal options, CVS represents a prime value-add opportunity.
  • Downtown Novato Center, co-anchored by Lucky California Grocer and CVS Pharmacy, is a trusted neighborhood destination with a strong, synergistic tenant mix of fitness, banks, and well known bakeries and cafes.
  • Exceedingly high barriers to entry with no current retail projects under construction and only 10,000 sf proposed over the next 2 years (per CoStar).
  • Highly affluent Marin County location, average home values in Marin exceed $1.5 million in May 2026 (Zillow).
  • Located in the Historic Downtown Novato shopping district, the center benefits from excellent demographics, with 58,000 residents and average household incomes of $201,000 in a 5-mile radius.
  • Offered at $265/sf, the property is priced significantly below the San Rafael market average of $419/sf (CoStar) and replacement cost, ensuring substantial investment potential.
  • Recent leasing momentum at the center includes new 10 year leases from Icon Fit and Kitsch + Sync, as well as a new Dutch Bros ground lease (NAP) that is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
