M Square Commercial Secures Build-to-Suit NNN Lease for 7 Brew in Baton Rouge

M Square Commercial successfully secured a 15-year build-to-suit NNN lease for 7 Brew at 5821 Creek Centre Drive in Baton Rouge, LA. The 0.68-acre site, fully approved for development, will begin construction in early 2025 with a targeted opening in Spring 2025.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States, January 31, 2025 — M Square Commercial has finalized a build-to-suit NNN lease for a new 7 Brew location in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The development team, in collaboration with M Square Commercial, secured approval for the 0.68-acre parcel at 5821 Creek Centre Drive, with construction scheduled to begin in mid-to-late January 2025 and an expected opening in Spring 2025.

Hutton Baton Rouge LA Burbank ST, LLC, the landlord, and 7 Brew executed a 15-year NNN lease agreement on June 14, 2024. M Square Commercial represented the landlord in collaboration with Dex Shill of NAI Latter & Blum as the local broker.

“This deal reflects the continued strength of the Baton Rouge retail market and the growing demand for high-traffic drive-thru retail sites,” said Brittany Megrath, CCIM, Managing Broker at M Square Commercial. “Securing this build-to-suit lease with 7 Brew ensures long-term value for the property owner while bringing a fast-growing coffee concept to the area.”

The property sits near the intersection of Burbank and West Lee drives, a high-traffic area for retail development. Hutton purchased the site in 2021 for an Express Oil Change project but later repositioned it as an excess land opportunity to support 7 Brew’s expansion.

The 7 Brew site will feature a 541-square-foot prefabricated building with a double drive-thru format designed for high-volume service. The property’s PUD zoning supports retail development, making it an ideal location for the fast-growing drive-thru coffee chain.
