Marijuana real estate investment trust Innovative Industrial Properties announced $45 million worth of funding to privately held multistate cannabis operator PharmaCann to expand its New York facility.
Innovative Industrial Properties (IIP) closed a sale-leaseback deal on PharmaCann’s Hamptonburgh cultivation and processing facility in 2016, acquiring the property for $30 million.
IIP has since committed another $33.5 million.
“Assuming full payment of the additional funding, IIP’s total investment in the 225,000-square-foot property will be $108.5 million,” IIP said in a Thursday news release.
Under the amended lease, IIP will provide $45 million “for the development of a new 98,000-square-foot industrial building for cultivation and significant enhancements in production capacity and additional upgrades at the existing 127,000-square-foot facility.”
San Diego-based IIP said PharmaCann is its “largest tenant partner in terms of capital investment (including commitments to fund future qualifying improvements and development) and annualized base rents.”
