Founded in 1973, W. P. Carey has developed a strong and consistent record of success centered on its unique strategy of providing real estate financing solutions to companies seeking additional capital through the corporate net lease financing structure.

W. P. Carey acquires a property and leases it back to the tenant company on a triple net long-term basis. Accordingly, the tenant company bears the responsibility for maintaining the premises, insuring the building and paying real estate taxes. As a result, the tenant company preserves operational control of the property and benefits from the immediate access to capital, which can be used to improve its balance sheet, fund future growth or reduce debt.

With more than 30 years of experience in the real estate financing business, W. P. Carey’s integrity, commitment and reputation for developing financing solutions is unparalleled. The Firm’s ability to work with companies to unlock the value of their real estate and maximize the potential of their core business will continue to distinguish W. P. Carey in today’s competitive marketplace.
