Safehold Inc.
Business
Safehold Inc. is a publicly traded REIT that acquires, manages and capitalizes ground leases on commercial real estate properties across major U.S. metropolitan areas. Ground leases represent long-term (typically 30–99 years) net leases on land underlying commercial properties, where tenants pay rent and bear operating costs and capital expenditures. The company operates through a single reportable segment and targets properties with contractual rent escalators, offering investors income growth, capital appreciation potential through residual rights to take ownership of improvements upon lease expiration, and a position senior to equity in the property capital structure.
