Innovative Industrial Properties Acquires Michigan Property and Expands Real Estate Partnership with Holistic Industries

Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (IIP), the first and only real estate company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IIPR) focused on the regulated U.S. cannabis industry, announced today that it closed on the acquisition of a property located at 29600 Stephenson Highway in Madison Heights, Michigan.

The purchase price for the property was $6.2 million (excluding transaction costs). Concurrent with the closing of the purchase, IIP entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with a subsidiary of Holistic Industries Inc. (“Holistic”), which intends to operate the property as a regulated cannabis cultivation, processing and dispensing facility, upon completion of development of an approximately 63,000 square foot industrial building. In connection with the development of the property, IIP has agreed to provide reimbursement of up to $18.8 million. Assuming full reimbursement for the development of the property, IIP’s total investment in the property will be $25.0 million.

In addition to the Michigan property, IIP owns and leases to Holistic three other properties in Maryland, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

As the pioneering real estate investment trust (REIT) for the medical-use cannabis industry, IIP partners with experienced medical-use cannabis operators and serves as a source of capital by acquiring and leasing back their real estate assets, in addition to offering other creative real estate-based capital solutions.

“We have had the privilege of being Holistic’s long-term real estate partner since 2017, and supporting them in their expansion over the years with key growth capital along the way,” said Paul Smithers, President and Chief Executive Officer of IIP. “Josh and his team of dedicated professionals have set a standard for product quality, patient care and customer experience that we are proud to support, and we are thrilled for the success that they have achieved.”
