Industrial real estate investment trusts (REITs) own and manage income-generating industrial properties, such as warehouses, distribution centers, logistics facilities, and manufacturing plants. Industrial REITs generate income by leasing the properties.
Investors in industrial REITs can benefit from the demand for space in the logistics and manufacturing sectors. The growth of e-commerce and the need for efficient supply chain management have contributed to the growth of the space in recent years. Similar to other REITs, industrial REITs are required to distribute a significant portion of their income to shareholders in the form of dividends.
If you’re interested in investing in industrial REITs, here are two you could buy today.
Stag Industrial
Stag Industrial (NYSE:STAG) owns and operates 570 industrial properties in 41 states containing approximately 113 million square feet as of September 30, 2023. Stag counts Amazon and FedEx as two of its largest tenants.
Don’t Miss:
Stag pays a monthly dividend of $0.123333 per share, equating to an annualized dividend of $1.48 per share, which gives its stock a yield of about 4.2% at the time of this writing.
On top of offering a high yield, Stag is a dividend-growth superstar. It has raised its annual dividend every year since its 2011 initial public offering, putting it on pace for 2024 to mark the 13th consecutive year in which it has raised its annual dividend payment.
Terreno Realty Corporation
Terreno Realty Corporation (NYSE:TRNO) owns and manages a portfolio of 290 industrial properties containing approximately 17.4 million square feet across six major coastal U.S. markets – Seattle, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington D.C., and Northern New Jersey / New York City.
Terreno currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share, equating to an annualized dividend of $1.80 per share, which gives its stock a yield of about 3.2% at the time of this writing.
Like Stag, Terreno is a dividend-growth superstar. It has raised its dividend every year since paying its first dividend in 2011, putting it on track for 2024 to mark the 13th consecutive year with an increase.
Another way to invest in industrial properties
Commercial real estate, including industrial, has historically outperformed the stock market, but few investors have the capital or resources needed to invest in this asset class. A platform backed by industry giant Marcus & Millichap is changing that, allowing individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000. If public REITs don’t interest you, then maybe this will.
