By Randy Blankstein, President, The Boulder Group<\/strong><\/p>\n

For years, sale-leasebacks were often viewed primarily as real estate transactions. A company owned a property, sold it to an investor and leased it back for continued occupancy.<\/p>\n

That description is technically accurate, but it misses the more important point.<\/p>\n

A sale-leaseback is increasingly a corporate capital allocation decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Companies are looking more closely at the capital tied up in owned real estate and asking a different question: Is owning this property really the highest and best use of our capital?<\/em><\/p>\n

In many cases, the answer is no.<\/p>\n

Rather than keeping millions of dollars invested in buildings and land, companies can monetize those assets, retain long-term operational control through a lease and redeploy the proceeds into acquisitions, new locations, equipment, technology, debt reduction or other investments that potentially generate higher returns.<\/p>\n

The growth in the market reflects that shift. Sale-leaseback transaction volume increased approximately 19% from 2024 to 2025<\/strong>, according to CoStar data cited in recent market research.<\/p>\n

More importantly, some of the largest investment managers in the world are positioning themselves around the strategy.<\/p>\n

In May, TPG reported that it had closed on $1 billion for its fifth net lease fund<\/strong>, which focuses on opportunities including sale-leasebacks.<\/p>\n

Then, on August 18, Goldman Sachs announced an agreement to acquire LCN Capital Partners for as much as $410 million<\/strong>. LCN manages approximately $3 billion and specializes in sale-leaseback and triple-net-lease investments. Goldman said the acquisition would expand its ability to offer real estate investments to institutional, insurance and wealth-management clients.<\/p>\n

These developments tell us something important.<\/p>\n

Sale-leasebacks are moving further into the mainstream of corporate finance and institutional investment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Real Question Is Return on Capital<\/h2>\n

Consider a company that owns a $20 million distribution facility.<\/p>\n

That $20 million of real estate may be critical to the company\u2019s operation, but the company does not necessarily need to own it to operate from it.<\/p>\n

If the company can sell the property, enter into a long-term lease and redeploy the proceeds into its operating business at an attractive return, ownership of the real estate may actually be limiting the company\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

That creates a simple capital-allocation comparison:<\/p>\n

What return is the company earning by keeping capital invested in its real estate versus what return could that same capital generate elsewhere?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A retailer capable of earning attractive returns by opening additional locations may prefer growth capital.<\/p>\n

A manufacturer may need new equipment or additional production capacity.<\/p>\n

A private-equity-backed company may want capital for acquisitions.<\/p>\n

Another company may choose to reduce expensive debt and strengthen its balance sheet.<\/p>\n

The underlying real estate hasn\u2019t become less valuable. The company has simply determined that the capital embedded in that real estate may be more valuable somewhere else.<\/p>\n

That is a fundamentally different way of thinking about sale-leasebacks.<\/p>\n

A Sale-Leaseback Isn\u2019t Free Capital<\/h2>\n

There is an important counterpoint.<\/p>\n

Selling the real estate creates liquidity, but it also creates a long-term rent obligation.<\/p>\n

The company gives up ownership and some of the future appreciation of the property. Depending upon how the lease is structured, it may also reduce future flexibility.<\/p>\n

This means the highest sale price is not necessarily the best sale-leaseback transaction.<\/p>\n

That distinction is frequently overlooked.<\/p>\n

Investors typically place greater value on longer lease terms, strong tenant credit and predictable rent growth. Those characteristics can produce attractive pricing for the seller.<\/p>\n

But maximizing the real estate value by agreeing to aggressive rent or overly restrictive lease provisions can create an operating burden years later.<\/p>\n

The objective should therefore be:<\/p>\n

Maximize the value of the real estate without compromising the operating company.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That requires evaluating the sale and the lease simultaneously.<\/p>\n

Lease Structure Can Be as Important as Sale Price<\/h2>\n

In traditional investment sales, owners naturally focus heavily on price and cap rate.<\/p>\n

In a sale-leaseback, companies should pay just as much attention to the lease they are creating.<\/p>\n

Several variables can have significant long-term consequences:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Initial rent<\/li>\n
  • Annual rent increases<\/li>\n
  • Lease term<\/li>\n
  • Renewal options<\/li>\n
  • Assignment and subletting rights<\/li>\n
  • Expansion or contraction flexibility<\/li>\n
  • Maintenance and capital expenditure responsibilities<\/li>\n
  • Purchase options or rights of first refusal<\/li>\n
  • Corporate versus subsidiary guarantees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    A 20-year lease may generate a higher property valuation than a 10-year lease, for example, but management needs to consider whether it wants to make a 20-year commitment.<\/p>\n

    Similarly, higher initial rent can support a higher sale price. But that additional proceeds comes with a corresponding long-term occupancy cost.<\/p>\n

    Companies should not engineer the lease solely to maximize today\u2019s sale price.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The better approach is to structure the lease around the long-term requirements of the business and then allow the investment market to price that income stream.<\/p>\n

    The Company\u2019s Credit Becomes Part of the Real Estate<\/h2>\n

    Sale-leasebacks are also unusual because the value of the property and the financial strength of the tenant become closely connected.<\/p>\n

    A net lease investor isn\u2019t simply buying a building.<\/p>\n

    The investor is acquiring:<\/p>\n

    Real estate + lease economics + tenant credit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Two otherwise similar industrial buildings can trade at significantly different valuations because one is leased to a financially strong company under a long-term lease and the other is occupied by a weaker business.<\/p>\n

    This creates an interesting opportunity for healthy operating companies.<\/p>\n

    A company may have spent decades building its business and improving its financial position without realizing that the strength of its credit can help unlock additional value from its real estate.<\/p>\n

    That is why the sale-leaseback process should include both real estate underwriting and corporate-credit analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Higher Capital Costs Have Made the Comparison More Relevant<\/h2>\n

    The financing environment has also contributed to greater interest in sale-leasebacks.<\/p>\n

    When debt was exceptionally inexpensive, companies had fewer reasons to look beyond conventional borrowing.<\/p>\n

    Today\u2019s environment requires a more careful comparison of financing alternatives.<\/p>\n

    A sale-leaseback does not replace debt in every situation, nor should it. But companies increasingly should evaluate real estate monetization alongside traditional bank financing, private credit and other sources of capital.<\/p>\n

    The correct question isn\u2019t:<\/p>\n

    \u201cIs a sale-leaseback cheaper than debt?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It is:<\/p>\n

    \u201cWhich capital structure creates the best risk-adjusted outcome for the company?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The answer will depend on the company\u2019s leverage, borrowing costs, growth prospects, tax circumstances, expected returns on reinvested capital and long-term need for the property.<\/p>\n

    Investors Are Recognizing the Opportunity<\/h2>\n

    The other side of the transaction is equally important.<\/p>\n

    Sale-leasebacks can create precisely the type of assets many net lease investors want: mission-critical real estate, long initial lease terms and contractual rent increases.<\/p>\n

    Unlike an existing net lease property that may have changed hands several times, a sale-leaseback also allows an investor to participate when the lease is originally structured.<\/p>\n

    That creates opportunities for institutional funds, private investors, family offices and other long-term capital seeking predictable income.<\/p>\n

    The growing amount of institutional capital focused on the strategy is therefore not surprising.<\/p>\n

    But it is also likely to make the market increasingly sophisticated.<\/p>\n

    Investors will differentiate more aggressively between strong and weak credits, sustainable and unsustainable rents, mission-critical and nonessential locations, and real estate with strong residual value versus properties whose investment thesis depends almost entirely on the lease.<\/p>\n

    The Next Phase of the Sale-Leaseback Market<\/h2>\n

    I expect sale-leasebacks to become an increasingly important part of the net lease market.<\/p>\n

    But the most important shift isn\u2019t simply increased transaction volume.<\/p>\n

    It is who is thinking about them and why.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Corporate executives, private equity sponsors, business owners and institutional investors are increasingly looking at owned real estate as another component of the capital structure.<\/p>\n

    For an operating company, that means the decision to own or lease real estate should be evaluated alongside decisions involving debt, equity, acquisitions and capital expenditures.<\/p>\n

    For investors, it means a potentially growing pipeline of long-duration net lease opportunities created directly with corporate users.<\/p>\n

    And for advisors, it means a sale-leaseback should no longer begin with one question:<\/p>\n

    \u201cWhat is the real estate worth?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It should begin with a much broader one:<\/p>\n

    \u201cWhat is the best use of the capital trapped inside the real estate?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

    That is why the modern sale-leaseback is increasingly not just a real estate transaction.<\/p>\n

    It is a capital allocation strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
