NEW YORK – December 4, 2023 – Global Net Lease, Inc. (NYSE: GNL) (“GNL” or the “Company”) announced today that it completed approximately 1.7 million square feet of leasing activity, comprised of over 313,000 square feet of multi-tenant assets and nearly 1.4 million square feet of single-tenant assets since September 30, 2023.
Within the multi-tenant segment, the Company signed four new leases totaling nearly 82,000 square feet, that will generate over $1.2 million in annualized straight-line rent with a weighted average lease term of 12.8 years. Additionally, the Company signed 19 lease renewals totaling approximately 232,000 square feet, and over $3.1 million in annualized straight-line rent. Leasing spreads on renewals were 3.4% higher than the expiring rent.
Within the single-tenant segment, the Company signed 12 lease renewals totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet and will contribute $7.9 million in annualized straight-line rent. Leasing spreads on renewals were 9.8% higher than the expiring rent.
“Our asset management platform continues to have success leasing up available space at our properties and renewing near-term lease expirations with our existing tenants on favorable terms,” said Michael Weil, Co-CEO of GNL. “The significant leasing interest we’re seeing from high-quality tenants across the entire portfolio provides a highly predictable base of rental income that will provide stability and durability to our business. We are continuing to focus on organically increasing NOI through expense management and occupancy growth while simultaneously executing on strategic dispositions initiatives.”
