In the company’s own words
W. P. Carey (NYSE: WPC) is an internally managed real estate investment trust that owns commercial properties leased long term to companies, primarily in the United States and Europe. Its portfolio focuses on single-tenant industrial, warehouse, and retail facilities that are important to tenants’ operations; the company also owns self-storage properties, hotels, and student housing. It specializes in sale-leaseback transactions, in which it buys a company’s real estate and leases it back, generally under triple-net terms that place property operating costs on the tenant. W. P. Carey’s customers are its commercial tenants, and its leases commonly include scheduled rent adjustments. The company operates as a diversified real estate portfolio rather than reporting business segments in the business description. At December 31, 2025, it held interests in 1,682 net-leased properties and 16 operating properties, leased to 371 tenants across 25 countries; its net-leased portfolio totaled approximately 183 million square feet. Founded in 1973, the company became publicly traded in 1998 and reorganized as a REIT in 2012. Its website is http://www.wpcarey.com.
