by Kristin Harlow

NEW YORK CITY AND ATLANTA — Global Net Lease Inc. (NYSE: GNL) has entered into a binding agreement to sell its multi-tenant retail portfolio of 100 non-core properties to a subsidiary of RCG Ventures Holdings LLC for approximately $1.8 billion. The transaction represents an 8.4 percent cash cap rate. GNL says the transaction would accelerate its deleveraging initiative and position the company as a pure-play, single-tenant net lease (STNL) company. GNL launched its disposition initiative in 2024, with the objectives of significantly reducing debt, enhancing financial flexibility and lowering its cost of capital. Following the completion of the multi-tenant portfolio sale, which would represent the most significant step in this initiative to date, GNL expects to have completed nearly $3 billion in dispositions between the start of 2024 and the end of 2025, inclusive of properties in its disposition pipeline.
