Innovative Industrial Properties Issues Company Update

Following the close of the market on Tuesday, cannabis REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (IIP) (NYSE: IIPR) posted its operating, investment, and capital markets activity from April 1, 2021, through today. The company’s first quarter ended in March, but since that time IIP has been very active.

IIP said that from April 1, 2021, through Tuesday, it has made four acquisitions for properties located in Massachusetts, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and executed three lease amendments to provide additional tenant improvements at properties located in Florida and Pennsylvania. In these transactions, IIP said it established new tenant relationships with Sozo Companies, Inc. and Temescal Wellness of Massachusetts, LLC, while expanding existing relationships with Green Peak Industries LLC (Skymint), Harvest Health & Recreation Inc., Jushi Holdings Inc., and Parallel.

In addition, on June 25, 2021, IIP said it closed on a construction loan with a developer for the construction of a regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facility in California. IIP said it is expected to lend up to $18.5 million to the developer for the construction of an approximately 102,000 square foot building. Following completion of development of the property, IIP said it has an option to purchase the property and may execute a negotiated lease with an affiliate of the developer or with another third party if IIP determines to exercise its purchase option.

Capital Markets Activity

On May 25, 2021, IIP issued a $300 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes. The sale of the notes generated net proceeds of approximately $293 million, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The notes bear interest at 5.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, until the maturity date of May 25, 2026. IIP said it intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to invest in specialized industrial real estate assets that support the regulated cannabis industry that is consistent with its investment strategy, and for general corporate purposes.

Portfolio

As of July 6, 2021, IIP owns 72 properties located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, representing a total of approximately 6.6 million rentable square feet (including approximately 2.2 million rentable square feet under development/redevelopment), which were 100% leased with a weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately 16.7 years.

As of July 6, 2021, IIP had invested an aggregate of approximately $1.6 billion (consisting of the purchase price and development and tenant reimbursement commitments funded, but excluding transaction costs) and had committed an additional approximately $347.8 million to reimburse certain tenants and sellers for completion of construction and tenant improvements at IIP’s properties, which does not include an $18.5 million loan from IIP to a developer for construction of a regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facility in California.
