Safehold

Safehold Inc. is a publicly traded U.S. real estate investment trust (REIT) and pioneer of the modern ground lease industry, offering an innovative capital solution that helps property owners unlock the value of the land beneath their buildings while preserving equity for development and operations. Rather than owning buildings, Safehold owns the underlying land and leases it long-term to building owners, enabling more efficient capital deployment and enhanced financial flexibility for developers, owners, and investors alike. This modern ground lease platform has been adopted in multifamily, office, industrial, hospitality, life science, and mixed-use projects throughout the United States.

Founded through an initial public offering in 2017 by its predecessor and real estate financier iStar Inc., Safehold has built a diversified portfolio of ground lease assets that span major U.S. metropolitan markets. With a mission to deliver stable income and long-term capital appreciation to its shareholders, the company emphasizes disciplined growth, long-duration lease structures, and strong alignment with its partners. Safehold’s leadership combines deep real estate finance expertise with a forward-looking strategy to reshape how land and building capital interact.

As a REIT listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: SAFE), Safehold Inc. provides institutional investors and public market participants access to an innovative real estate capital stack niche. Its ground lease portfolio has grown significantly—as reflected in billions in gross book value—underscoring market confidence in the company’s differentiated model and potential for recurring, inflation-protected cash flows.
