"Despite a challenging operating environment for childcare providers in Minnesota, we were able to generate multiple competitive offers and ultimately achieve a strong outcome for the seller," said Spencer Berkley, director investments. "The level of buyer engagement underscores continued demand for high-quality early education assets, even in more regulated markets."
Berkley, Mark Ruble, Chris Lind and Zack House, investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap's Phoenix office, in association with Jon Ruzicka, Marcus & Millichap's Minnesota broker of record, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a Minnesota limited liability company, and procured the buyer, a Delaware limited liability company.
The property is located at 8677 Parson Ave. NE, 33 miles northwest of downtown Minneapolis. Built in 2025, the 11,758-square-foot facility sits on 1.2 acres and is leased to Everbrook Academy on a 15-year triple-net lease. The tenant is backed by Learning Care Group, one of the largest providers of early childhood education in the United States with more than 1,150 schools across 11 brands.
"Momentum has definitely carried into 2026, with our team already closing more than $50 million in childcare center transactions and maintaining a strong pipeline behind it," added Berkley. "Investors continue to gravitate toward these assets due to their essential-service nature and the relative returns compared with other NNN products. Overall, we're seeing renewed interest from the broader commercial real estate investment community and remain optimistic about what's ahead."
