**SRS Real Estate Partners Completes Sale-Leaseback of Kentucky Taco Bell**
SRS Real Estate Partners has finalized the sale-leaseback of a Taco Bell property located at 3459 Taylor Boulevard in Louisville, Kentucky.
The 3,250-square-foot restaurant, situated on 0.72 acres near Churchill Downs, was newly redeveloped in 2025 on the site of a former quick-service restaurant that had been vacant. In March of that year, the property was sold to Southpaw, a Connecticut-based Taco Bell franchisee, which undertook the redevelopment.
SRS Capital Markets Vice Presidents Sarah Shanks and Morgan Zant represented the seller, Southpaw. The buyer is a private investor based in California.
“Southpaw signed a new 20-year absolute triple net lease with the new ownership,” said Morgan Zant. “The buyer can enjoy a management-free investment that is ideal for passive investors seeking reliable income.”
This transaction was one of nine Taco Bell properties sold by the SRS team to individual buyers in December 2025, totaling $18.66 million across Louisville and the broader Midwest region.
