Total Investment: $58 million (three transactions)

In 2023, W. P. Carey closed the $14 million acquisition of a newly built retail fitness center located in Arizona and net leased to EoS Fitness, a national fitness center operator, for a period of 20 years. The state-of-the-art facility features an open weightlifting floor, perimeter cardio rooms, recovery services, saunas, an indoor turfed training area and a pool. It is well located in a high-traffic retail corridor within a rapidly growing sub-market of Phoenix.

Shortly thereafter, in 2024, W. P. Carey completed a $41 million follow-on investment with EoS to acquire three additional fitness facilities located in Arizona and Nevada. All three facilities are state-of-the-art fitness centers and house the company’s flagship offerings. Both this and the 2023 transaction were structured as development/forward takeouts, where the facilities were acquired from the developer upon completion of construction.

In 2025, W. P. Carey continued its partnership with EoS and its preferred development partner, completing the initial closing for a build-to-suit of a 40,000-square-foot fitness facility in Arizona. The facility is expected to open in 2026.

*In a forward takeout, an investor enters into an agreement with a developer to acquire a newly developed property once the development is completed. This secures the developer’s exit, allowing for easier capital planning of future projects.
*In a build-to-suit, W. P. Carey funds and manages the construction of a new facility or the expansion of an existing one custom built to meet the unique specifications of a prospective or existing tenant. Upon completion of construction, the company enters into a long-term net lease with W. P. Carey, while securing full operational control of the new or expanded facility.
