Ankur Gupta explained in this interview that “monetizing their real estate through sale-leasebacks remains a viable and, in many cases, attractive option for companies whose primary business is outside of the field of real estate.” Mr. Gupta noted that such companies often “conclude that monetizing their owned real estate assets provides them with a cost-effective and low-risk source of liquidity compared to available corporate credit facilities, a bond issuance or a conventional mortgage re-financing.”
