The site is ideally positioned on the hard corner of Howell Boulevard and 72nd Avenue, just 0.3 miles from interstate 110 (56,890 VPD). Baton Rouge is the state’s capital and the second largest city in Louisiana.

Bedrock Investments Group (BIG) used proceeds from the sale of the Glendale, AZ Taco Bell to complete a 1031 exchange for the acquisition. Investors received increased cash flow, additional lease term, and superior tenant credit.
