Active listings InvestmentGrade.com tracks with an asking cap rate (stated in the listing, or computed from its stated income and price when no rate is stated), listings last observed October 12, 2026. Asking cap rates are not closed-sale cap rates. The middle half is the range from the 25th to the 75th percentile of listings. The 10-year Treasury yield is 5.24% as of October 1, 2026 (FRED series DGS10). Ratings are the agency ratings in our ratings database for the entity shown, which may be a parent company; the rating type (for example issuer, senior unsecured debt, long-term debt or revenue bond ratings) varies by company and is shown on each tenant page. A rating applies to a lease only if the rated entity signs or guarantees it, so confirm the tenant and any guarantor in the lease. n/a means no verified rating is on file. Not shown because fewer than 3 active listings with a published cap rate were observed: Regions Bank, Huntington Bank.

Bank branch listings include ground leases, where the bank owns the building and leases the land, and building leases, where the landlord owns both. The two structures differ in landlord obligations and depreciation, so compare a specific branch with listings of the same structure and similar remaining term.

What to Check in a Huntington Bank Branch Lease

  • Tenant entity: whether the lease is signed by The Huntington National Bank or another entity, and any guarantee.
  • Ground lease or building lease: who owns the improvements and who pays for roof, structure and parking lot.
  • Term and options: remaining term, renewal options and the rent schedule for each option.
  • Early termination rights: some bank leases allow the bank to close the branch and end the lease early.
  • Branch deposits: deposit levels at the branch, which are published annually in the FDIC Summary of Deposits, are one indicator of the branch’s role in the bank’s network.
  • Consolidation risk: banks can close overlapping branches after mergers; check for other branches of the same bank nearby.
