NEW YORK CITY-  Industrial Innovation Properties, a real estate investment trust focused on cannabis-leased industrial and greenhouse buildings, has outperformed on the New York Stock Exchange as the early-mover and lone REIT investment option for cannabis-related industrial properties. Investors anticipate further growth in its returns as conversations grow about the legalization of medical and recreational use of cannabis at the state-level nationwide, according to a new analysis by the Advisory & Consulting arm of Green Street Advisors, a real estate research firm.

IIPR strategy includes planting the flag in states with approved medical-use laws that are perceived to have low regulatory risk. The NYSE-traded REIT was one of the sole options for investors looking to add exposure to cannabis-related industrial properties for the past several years.
