Real estate for the everyday

Getty Realty’s strength lies in the kind of real estate most investors overlook. We’re talking about the everyday essentials that quietly hum along no matter what the market’s doing. Think fuel stations, convenience stores, and auto service sites spread across the country. These are properties people use rain or shine, recession or boom.

The company’s top markets include New York City and Washington D.C., with more than half the portfolio made up of convenience and gas stations.

That stability shows up in the numbers. Occupancy rates hover near 100%, the annual base rent is $210 million, while rent collections remain solid. A committed investment pipeline of more than $75.0 million for the development and/or acquisition of 22 convenience and automotive retail properties offers steady expansion of an already reliable footprint. 

The company’s focus on triple-net leases (where the tenant is responsible for taxes, insurance, and maintenance) means Getty collects rent with minimal overhead or surprise costs.

This is a business designed to perform quietly, generating recurring revenue from everyday essentials. In a world chasing the next big thing, Getty sticks to what it knows: dependable properties, disciplined management, and cash flow you can count on.

Headwinds to monitor

We all know that no dividend story is risk-free. GTY’s elevated payout ratio leaves little margin for error if earnings wobble.

Interest-rate pressure can weigh on REIT valuations, and while Getty's tenant base is solid, it is tied to the broader fuel-retail economy.

But these are known variables, and management has navigated them well thus far.
