- American Finance Trust, Inc. is a real estate investment trust (REIT) primarily engaged in acquiring, managing, and leasing retail and commercial properties across the United States. The company focuses on necessity-based retail real estate sectors including grocery-anchored centers, power centers, open-air shopping centers, and essential service retail properties. Its core products and services include ownership, operation, and leasing of retail properties featuring tenants in grocery, pharmacy, fitness, and other daily need categories. American Finance Trust also provides property management and asset management services through its vertically integrated platform. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Diego, California, the company has evolved its strategic focus towards necessity retail assets that cater to daily consumer needs, emphasizing tenant stability and resilient cash flows. Recent major changes include a strategic rebranding to "The Necessity Retail REIT" completed in 2025 to better reflect its retail portfolio focus. American Finance Trust closed on the initial tranche of a previously announced $1.3 billion acquisition of open-air shopping centers primarily anchored by necessity retailers. This acquisition significantly expanded its portfolio of grocery-anchored and power-anchored centers, positioning the company as a leading retail REIT specializing in essential retail locations. The company's portfolio strategy has seen a reduction in office assets to minimal levels through asset disposition, enabling concentrated investment in retail centers with high occupancy and strong leasing metrics. In 2021 and 2022, American Finance Trust acquired 69 retail properties for approximately $180 million and completed the sale of non-core office buildings for $261 million. These transactions align with the company's shift towards a necessity-retail-focused portfolio. The firm maintains operations across multiple U.S. states with a diversified tenant base that includes grocery stores, pharmacies, and other essential services aimed at serving broad consumer markets. American Finance Trust operates within the diversified real estate sector with a specialized focus on retail real estate investment, property management, and development. It targets institutional investors and retail investors seeking exposure to high-quality retail real estate with resilient demand characteristics, anchored by everyday essential retail tenants. The company’s latest operational and financial activities underscore its commitment to expanding its presence in the necessity retail space while managing a disciplined portfolio shift and enhancing shareholder value through strategic acquisitions and asset sales. These developments position American Finance Trust as a key player in the retail REIT market focused on essential daily consumer goods and services, marked by recent portfolio expansions, a clear rebranding initiative, and robust leasing activity. The company continues to report strong leasing performance, high rent collection rates, and solid financial metrics reflective of its strategic direction in necessity retail property investment and management.
