DALLAS—Spirit Realty Capital (SRC) said late Thursday afternoon it planned to spin off substantially all of its properties leased to Shopko Stores into a separate publicly traded REIT. Known for the moment as SpinCo, the spinoff REIT is expected to have $2.7 billion in gross real estate investments.

Among the primary objectives of the spinoff, which also will encompass assets that collateralize SRC’s Master Trust 2014, is to enable SRC and SpinCo to pursue two separate investment strategies.
