How the math works

Anchor tenant risk blends three drivers: concentration, remaining term, and credit quality. The composite score gives a single 0-100 reading where higher = riskier.

Acquirers should discount deals with score >60 by 50-100bps in cap rate, or demand structural protections (credit enhancement, concession cap, release rights).

How to Use

  1. Enter anchor annual rent.
  2. Enter total center annual rent.
  3. Enter years remaining on anchor lease.
  4. Select anchor credit rating.
  5. Read concentration % and risk score.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is high concentration?

Anchor rent >30% of total center rent = high concentration. 20-30% = moderate. Under 20% = diversified. Institutional investors pay premium cap rates for centers with diversification.

How does credit matter?

Investment-grade anchor (Costco, Walmart, Home Depot): strong tenant, lenders give 10-15bps cap premium. Non-investment grade (JCP, Macy's, Sears): cap widens 50-100bps. Below-BB: distressed pricing.

Short remaining term risk?

Anchor with <5 years left = release risk. Tenants may renegotiate hard or leave. Always factor rollover probability × re-lease cost into underwriting.

What documentation matters here?

Written leases, move-in/move-out inspections with photographs, ledger entries showing every payment and charge, served notices with proof of service, and contemporaneous emails or texts. Courts weigh written evidence heavily; informal understandings rarely stand. Institutional operators run a monthly file audit to catch gaps before they matter. Good paper trails recover most of what's owed.
