Michael Weil, CEO of Global Net Lease, Inc. (NYSE: GNL), sat down for a video interview during Nareit’s REITweek: 2025 Investor Conference in New York City June 2-5.
Weil discussed a significant strategic shift made by the company at the end of last year, including the decision to dispose of its shopping center portfolio. This move aims to simplify the company’s focus, align it more closely with peers, and accelerate its strategic plans, he said.
Weil noted that the net lease market remains stable and predictable, with no major geographic shifts in demand, though they continue to monitor individual tenants closely. Looking ahead, the company sees strong opportunities over the next six to 12 months, driven by past decisions such as internalizing operations and ongoing efforts to deleverage. The positive feedback received at REITweek supports their outlook for continued growth into 2025 and beyond, he added.
