Agree Realty Corporation ADC

Company Overview

Agree Realty Corporation is a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) that focuses on the acquisition, development, and ownership of net-leased retail real estate. The company operates primarily within the retail real estate and net lease industries, with a business model centered on long-term, triple-net leases to high-credit-quality tenants. Its primary revenue driver is rental income generated from a diversified portfolio of freestanding retail properties leased to national and regional retailers.

The company serves major retail brands across sectors such as grocery, home improvement, automotive, pharmacy, and general merchandise, emphasizing tenants with strong balance sheets and necessity-based business models. Agree Realty is positioned as a conservative, low-risk net lease operator, distinguished by a disciplined investment approach, a focus on investment-grade tenants, and a balance between acquisitions and ground-up development. Founded in 1971, the company transitioned from a privately held real estate operator into a public REIT in 1994 and has since evolved into a nationally scaled net lease platform with a steadily expanding portfolio.
