generation income properties purchases assets with future generations in mind; hence its name. gip acquires the most conservative, credit-worthy, long term real estate assets with the understanding that the underlying real estate is ultimately irreplaceable. while the reit is established to provide a stable yield for long periods of time, special attention is paid to the intrinsic present and future value of the real estate in order to prepare for reusing the assets for other tenants after lease expirations. the single-tenant, net-leased investments that gip identifies are typically a free-standing office, retail, or industrial building that is leased and occupied by one user or one company. in most cases, the tenant has committed to a long-term lease, usually longer than 10 years and sometimes as long as 25 years with increasing rent over the lease term.
