Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- CEA Properties: Leases facilities for cannabis cultivation. The CEA market is rapidly growing, but their exact market share is difficult to ascertain due to the nascent and fragmented nature of the market. Competitors include Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR), NewLake Capital Partners (NLCP) and other private real estate investors.
- Hop Farms: Leases property used for Hop Farming. The Hop Farm market is established but they are a smaller player against larger REITs and other private real estate investors.
- Renewable Energy Properties: Leases land to solar developers. Market share is fragmented, making it difficult to pinpoint exact figures, but they are a smaller player against larger REITs like American Tower (AMT) and Crown Castle (CCI) focused on telecommunications infrastructure where Power REIT makes up a small portion. Competitors include other REITs investing in solar farms, private equity firms, and developers.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The renewable energy sector is growing due to increasing demand for clean energy. The CEA (cannabis) sector is growing due to legalization and increasing demand for cannabis products. Both sectors offer opportunities for specialized real estate investment.
Positioning
Power REIT is a niche REIT focusing on specialized properties related to renewable energy and cannabis cultivation. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialization and understanding of these niche markets.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The total addressable market for renewable energy real estate and cannabis cultivation real estate is significant and growing. The renewable energy TAM is estimated in the hundreds of billions, while the cannabis cultivation TAM is estimated in the tens of billions. Power REIT is a relatively small player, indicating ample room for growth within these markets.
