Year-to-date investment volume totaling approximately $1.1 billion, including investment volume totaling approximately $400 million completed since the Company reported its first quarter 2026 financial results on April 28, 2026.
GardenCore Sale-leaseback
On May 8, 2026, the Company closed the sale-leaseback of a 43-property manufacturing portfolio with newly branded GardenCore (formerly Oldcastle Lawn & Garden), a leading U.S. manufacturer of lawn and garden consumables, offering a broad portfolio of mulch, soil, stone and lime products. GardenCore has deep, long-standing partnerships with major home improvement retailers and garden centers, and delivers consistent, high-quality execution across large-scale private label and branded programs.
Located in 24 states across the U.S., the portfolio is triple-net master leased for a term of 20 years with fixed annual rent escalations. It represents the entirety of GardenCore's owned real estate, contributing a significant portion of its overall revenue. Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, a leading private equity firm, recently acquired GardenCore as part of a corporate carve-out from CRH's packaged mulch, soil and stone business.
At the time of investment, GardenCore ranked among W. P. Carey's top 10 largest tenants by annualized base rent (ABR).
Investment Volume Outlook
Based on the investment volume it has completed year-to-date, the capital investments and commitments it has scheduled to deliver over the remainder of 2026, and its investment pipeline, W. P. Carey currently has visibility into investment volume totaling approximately $1.5 billion.
