Key Offerings

• Office Space Leasing: OPI's primary offering is the leasing of office space, predominantly to single tenants.

Competitors include other REITs focused on office properties such as Boston Properties (BXP) and SL Green Realty Corp (SLG).

Industry Overview

The office REIT industry is influenced by factors like interest rates, employment growth, and overall economic conditions. The sector faces challenges with increasing vacancy rates due to the rise of remote work, but also benefits from demand in certain markets and from tenants seeking high-quality office spaces.

Positioning

OPI positions itself by focusing on single-tenant properties leased to government and high-credit quality tenants to provide stable cash flows. Its main competitive advantage is its tenant profile, perceived as lower risk than multi-tenant properties with a higher proportion of non-government tenants.

Office Properties Income Trust is a REIT focused on single-tenant office properties with primarily government and high-credit quality tenants. Its strengths lie in its stable tenant base and long-term leases. However, high debt levels and an external management structure remain a drag.
