W. P. Carey Inc.

W. P. Carey Inc. operates as a diversified real estate investment trust that acquires and manages single-tenant commercial properties under long-term net leases. The company's portfolio consists of 1,682 properties spanning approximately 183 million square feet as of December 31, 2025, with a geographic focus on the United States and Europe. Properties are leased to operating companies across industrial, warehouse, and retail sectors, with lease agreements typically including built-in rent escalations that provide inflation protection.

The company generates revenue primarily through rent collection from its net lease portfolio, where tenants generally assume responsibility for property maintenance, taxes, and insurance expenses. This structure reduces operational burden and provides predictable cash flows. W. P. Carey maintains a distributed operational presence across four offices located in New York, London, Amsterdam, and Dallas, supporting its dual-market focus. The company employs 199 full-time employees and maintains a market capitalization of $16.4 billion, reflecting its position among the largest net lease REITs by asset base.
