McDonald's Net Lease Investments: How the Leases Work

Why McDonald's ground leases and NNN properties remain among the most sought-after investments in commercial real estate.

Robert KhodadadianDiscuss a confidential opportunity

Net lease buyers treat McDonald's as the benchmark tenant. The company has over 40,000 locations worldwide, many leases carry a corporate guarantee, and the landlord has very little to do beyond collecting rent.

Understanding the McDonald's Lease Structure

Most McDonald's locations operate under absolute NNN leases with 20-year initial terms and multiple 5-year renewal options. The ground leases draw the most interest because they often carry rent escalations tied to sales performance or CPI.
