Our Company  

We are an internally managed real estate investment trust focused on acquiring and managing income-producing retail, office and industrial properties net leased to high quality tenants in major markets throughout the United States. We believe our focus on owning properties leased to investment grade or creditworthy tenants provide attractive risk adjusted returns through current yields, long term appreciation and tenant renewals. 

We believe that single-tenant commercial properties, as compared with shopping centers, malls, and other traditional multi-tenant properties, offer a distinct investment advantage since single-tenant properties generally require less management and operating capital and generally have less recurring tenant turnover.  

Given the stability and predictability of the cash flows, many net leased properties are held in family trusts, providing us an opportunity to acquire these properties for tax deferred units while giving the owners potential liquidity through the conversion of the units for freely tradable shares of stock.  

Historically, we have made regular cash distributions to our stockholders out of our cash available for distribution, typically on a monthly basis. On July 3, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors determined to suspend the Company's regular dividend to common shareholders and unitholders. Generally, our policy will be to pay distributions from cash flow from operations. However, our distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations, such as from the proceeds from a capital raise, borrowings or distributions in kind.   

We are organized as a Maryland corporation and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under U.S. federal income tax laws since the beginning of our taxable year ended December 31, 2021. The Company formed a Maryland entity GIP TRS Inc. in 2022 to operate as a taxable REIT subsidiary but this subsidiary does not hold any assets or business operations as of the date of this Form 10-K. 

We and our Operating Partnership were organized to operate using an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) structure. We use an UPREIT structure because a sale of property directly to another person or entity generally is a taxable transaction to the selling property owner. In an UPREIT structure, a seller of a property that desires to defer taxable gain on the sale of its property may transfer the property to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in the Operating Partnership and defer taxation of gain until the seller later disposes of its common units in the Operating Partnership. Using an UPREIT structure may give us an advantage in acquiring desired properties from persons
