LXP Industrial Trust generates revenue primarily by leasing its warehouse and distribution properties to tenants, collecting rent, and earning income from property operations. As a REIT, it must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders as dividends. The company grows its portfolio through several strategies: acquiring existing properties, engaging in build-to-suit transactions where it constructs facilities for specific tenants, executing sale-leaseback deals where it buys properties and leases them back to sellers, and undertaking development projects. These approaches allow LXP to expand its presence in target markets and increase its asset base over time.
