Industrial REIT that owns, leases and develops warehouse/distribution buildings across major US logistics markets.
Collects rent on warehouses under multi-year leases that mostly pass property costs to tenants, and adds growth by building new warehouses on land it owns or buys near logistics hubs. Rents on expiring leases reset to market, so rent can step up when old leases roll over.
Moat: narrow (scale, installed base). Well-located logistics portfolio near population centers; industrial leasing is otherwise a commodity business.
