Innovative Industrial Properties (NYSE: IIPR) is expanding its real estate empire. The cannabis-focused real estate trust (REIT) said on Monday that it purchased two properties in Pennsylvania and North Dakota, which together comprise 105,000 square feet of industrial space, for $24.1 million plus transaction costs. IIP is acquiring the properties from GR Companies Inc., which operates under the name Grassroots.

Upon closing, IIP immediately entered into long-term lease agreements with Grassroots. The vertically integrated dispensary company will continue to operate the sites as regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facilities.
