Better capital and returns for owners, developers and operators of high-quality commercial real estate. From the creator and leader of the modern ground lease industry.

We’ve reinvented the ground lease to give our customers a capital advantage. Designed to work seamlessly in today’s real estate finance markets, our ground leases deliver enhanced returns relative to traditional financing. Customers across our portfolio have harnessed the power of a Safehold® ground lease.

In creating the Safehold® ground lease, we asked ourselves why should building owners targeting a 15-plus percent ROE be forced to own the underlying land at a five percent ROE? And it’s simple: they shouldn’t. Safehold’s ground leases deliver higher cash-on-cash returns and overall IRRs to building owners than fee simple ownership.

Safehold® ground leases limit the uncertainty of maturity risk by providing ultra-long duration capital at a low cost of funds, predictable year after year. That helps our customers better manage liquidity, even in an uncertain world.

Safehold® ground leases can be part of the capital structure of almost any property within the $7 trillion+ commercial real estate industry. Our custom-tailored solutions are designed to give you a competitive edge.

As the first publicly-traded company (NYSE: SAFE) focused on revolutionizing ground leases, we are on a mission to transform commercial real estate with the lowest cost, no maturity, low constraint capital in the market.
