Parking Lot - Cap Rates and Valuation

Have zero experience in this niche. Looking at a commercial property that is 1 mile from a major international airport. The property is overparked (surface parking), so the current owner fenced off about 200 spaces and leased to an airport parking operator ($10/day with a shuttle going back and forth).

I am trying to get a general idea as to how to underwrite the income from the operators's POV. 200 spaces x $10 per day x 365 days = $730,000, minus some sort of vacancy % to get an effective gross income. Assuming taxes/insurance/CAM/payroll, I'm guessing you could still clear $400,000 NOI or thereabouts?

I'm trying to value that piece to determine if purchasing the property and carving off the parking, either selling direct to the operator, or getting a long term lease and capping the NOI and selling to an investor, makes sense from the perspective of lowering the basis in the property.

Thoughts?
