Weaker Prospects Plague Gramercy Property Trust

The real estate market has generally been favorable in recent years, and real estate investment trusts like Gramercy Property Trust (NYSE: GPT) have sought to tap into strong demand for good properties. Yet even a strong environment for the industry doesn't guarantee growth, and like many of its peers, Gramercy has consistently looked to acquisitions in order to help expand the scope of its business.

Coming into Tuesday's second-quarter financial report, Gramercy investors were a bit nervous about whether the REIT would successfully find ways to keep growing key financial measures. As we've seen in past quarters, Gramercy wasn't able to come through with results that satisfied shareholders completely. Let's take a closer look at Gramercy Property Trust and what its latest results say about its prospects going forward.
