Rare Licensed Child Care Prop | Nearly 2acres _ 11,250 SF Retail Building Thousand Palms, CA 92276 $2,600,000 ($231.11/SF)



Investment Highlights
- Licensed child care real estate on a rare nearly two-acre parcel with infrastructure already in place
- Approximately 11,000 SF of improvements including purpose-built and modular classrooms
- Lease in place through late 2026 with future flexibility for investors or owner users
- High-capacity licensed facility with long-term tenant and low landlord responsibility structure
- Six gated outdoor play areas with strong circulation and on-site parking
- Scarce opportunity in a supply-constrained market where similar sites are no longer replicable
Executive Summary
This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, licensed child care real estate asset with an established tenant in place and significant long-term optionality.
The property is improved with approximately 11,000 square feet of purpose-built and modular structures situated on a large parcel of nearly two acres. The site supports a high-capacity child care license across multiple age groups and has historically operated at materially higher licensed levels, providing meaningful future flexibility for owner users or investors planning repositioning.
The asset is currently tenant occupied under a lease in place through late 2026. The tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, resulting in a low management burden for ownership. The tenant has also expressed verbal interest in remaining beyond the current lease term, though no extension is in writing.
From a real estate standpoint, this property is exceptionally difficult to replicate. Comparable child care facilities in the region are typically located on far smaller parcels with limited outdoor space and constrained parking. This site benefits from expansive gated play areas, strong circulation, and a layout designed to support full licensed capacity. The land component alone creates long-term value independent of the current tenant.
The property is well positioned for multiple buyer profiles, including investors seeking stable income with future upside, owner operators planning a transition upon lease termination, and groups seeking a high-capacity licensed site in a supply-constrained market. Future value drivers include license expansion, lease restructuring at market rates, or conversion to owner occupied use.
The offering is being marketed as a real estate transaction only. The operating business is not included in the sale. Any future discussion regarding business operations would be subject to separate negotiation directly with the tenant and is not part of the current offering.
This is a scarce opportunity to acquire a high-capacity child care property with scale, land, and licensing characteristics that are no longer achievable under current zoning and entitlement conditions.
Due to the specialized nature of this asset and the licensing component, additional information is available by Non-Disclosure Agreement only.
Qualified buyers are encouraged to review the confidential materials, which include detailed property information, lease summary, and supplemental due diligence data.
