Power REIT finalized a lease amendment to fund additional upgrades to a marijuana greenhouse cultivation facility in Michigan.
The Old Bethpage, New York-based real estate investment trust is adding an additional $4.1 million to the facility in Marengo Township, Michigan, according to a news release issued Friday.
That brings Power REIT’s total commitment to the project to roughly $25.6 million for the purchase and improvement of the 556,146-square-foot greenhouse and processing space.
The property is being leased to Marengo Cannabis, a subsidiary of Millennium Cannabis.
The latter is a subsidiary of Millennium Investment & Acquisition Co. David Lesser is CEO of both Power REIT and Millennium Investment & Acquisition.
