Total investment activity includes 146 separate transactions representing more than 14,000 apartment units, almost 10.6 million square feet of industrial space and just under 4.4 million square feet of retail space.

IPT is focused on acquiring and operating high-quality distribution warehouses that are leased to corporate customers.  

IPT's core strategy is to build a national platform of high-quality industrial properties by targeting markets that have high barriers to entry, proximity to a large demographic base, and/or access to major distribution hubs.  

IPT has operated and elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with the taxable year that ended on December 31, 2013, and IPT intends to continue to operate in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT.
