Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. is the first real estate investment trust (REIT) serving the medical-use cannabis industry to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. An REIT uses capital funds from multiple investors to purchase income-producing real estate. IIPR claims they have “paid consecutive quarterly dividends to our common stockholders since the second quarter of 2017.”

IIRP’s strategy is to buy existing facilities from medical-use cannabis growers, then lease the property back to the growers. The company claims this arrangement helps growers put more financial resources into their operations and expansion. It also helps growers expand their reach to more patients seeking cannabis-based treatment options.

With the continued wave of state-by-state legalization of marijuana in the US, IIRP is optimistic their business model will help cannabis growers scale their operations to keep up with increasing demand.

In their Q1 results announced May 5, IIRP reported total revenues of $42.9 million, a year-over-year boost of 103%. Common stockholders received dividends of $1.32 per share, a 32% increase over dividends from the previous quarter.

First-quarter activity included IIRP’s acquisition of four new properties in California, Florida, Michigan, and Texas. The company also initiated a long-term lease with Holistic Industries Inc. for its existing property in Los Angeles. Their total cash reserves, plus short-term investments, were valued at about $661.4 million as of March 31, 2021. The company has been in business since 2017.
