Innovative Industrial Properties Inc

Company Overview
History and Background
Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (IIPR) was founded in 2016 as a self-advised Maryland corporation focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized industrial properties leased to experienced, state-licensed operators for their regulated cannabis facilities. It was the first publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on the cannabis industry.
Core Business Areas
- Property Management: IIPR manages its portfolio of properties, ensuring compliance with regulations and providing tenant support.
- Real Estate Acquisition & Leasing: IIPR acquires properties suitable for cannabis cultivation and processing and leases them to state-licensed cannabis operators. This includes specialized industrial facilities that are very difficult to value.
- Sale-Leaseback Transactions: IIPR engages in sale-leaseback transactions, purchasing properties from cannabis operators who then lease the properties back from IIPR.
Leadership and Structure
Paul Smithers is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The company operates as a REIT and is structured to distribute a significant portion of its taxable income to shareholders through dividends.

- Capital for Cannabis Operators: IIPR provides capital to cannabis operators through sale-leaseback transactions and property acquisition. This alleviates the capital constraint for cannabis operations.
- Industrial Real Estate for Cannabis Cultivation/Processing: IIPR's core product is specialized industrial real estate designed for cannabis cultivation and processing. Data on direct market share in this niche is limited, but IIPR is a significant player. Competitors include privately held real estate firms and other REITs entering the cannabis space. Revenue is derived from lease agreements with tenants.

IIPR is a leading REIT specializing in cannabis-related industrial properties, giving it a first-mover advantage and established relationships within the industry. Its competitive advantage lies in its expertise in navigating the cannabis regulatory environment and providing specialized real estate solutions. The barriers to entry are increasing because of regulations.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The total addressable market for cannabis-related real estate is estimated to be in the billions of dollars and growing. IIPR is positioned to capture a significant share of this market by providing specialized financing and real estate solutions to cannabis operators.
