What American Assets Trust does

Diversified REIT owning office, retail and multifamily properties concentrated on the West Coast and in Hawaii.

Collects rent under multi-year leases: office and retail tenants often reimburse part of building costs, while apartment renters sign shorter leases, so apartment rents reset faster. Holdings cluster in Southern California, the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii, including the Waikiki Beach Walk retail centre in Honolulu. As a REIT it distributes most taxable income to shareholders.
