“This quarter, Safehold further built on its market-leading position in the ground lease sector. We added new customers, new capital relationships, and new geographic markets, and continue to believe we are building a very valuable and irreplaceable portfolio of ground leases in the top 30 to 40 markets in the country.”
“We're three years into building a standalone safehold and nine years into building the new, modern ground lease business. In ground lease timeframes, we're still in the early innings.”
“While headwinds remain, Safehold made good progress on a number of fronts in the fourth quarter that we believe should have a positive impact on 2026.”
“We saw steady activity in our ground lease business in the third quarter, with a recent decline in rates and a somewhat less steep yield curve helping to provide a more constructive backdrop.”
“We saw better traction in the second quarter as we rolled out a test program in certain markets for one-stop capital solutions combining ground leases and leasehold loans to simplify and shorten the time to closing.”
