Innovative Industrial Properties Announces Closing of Initial Investment Into IQHQ

Transaction Expected to Generate Significant Earnings Accretion for IIP Shareholders

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (NYSE: IIPR) (“IIP” or the “Company”), announced today that it has closed its initial investment into IQHQ, Inc. (“IQHQ”), a premier life science real estate platform. The initial investment totaled $105 million and was comprised of a $100 million investment into a revolving credit facility with the remainder invested in shares of preferred stock of IQHQ. The initial investment was funded through cash on hand and draws from the Company’s revolving credit facility. Pro forma for this investment, the Company’s remaining IQHQ commitments total up to $165 million of preferred stock, which is expected to be funded in multiple tranches between the fourth quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2027.

“IIPR is pleased to continue to deploy capital in a highly accretive way for the benefit of shareholders. This is our first investment outside of the cannabis industry, providing diversification to our current portfolio of over $2 billion of real estate,” said Alan Gold, Executive Chairman of IIP. “We look forward to continuing to capitalize on the attractive, long-term strength of the life science industry and maximizing our returns on our existing portfolio.”

In addition, the Company is pleased to announce it has received a commitment from a federally regulated commercial bank for a three-year, $100 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Secured Revolving Credit Facility”). The Secured Revolving Credit Facility is priced at one-month SOFR + 200 basis points (6.1% based on rates as of September 30, 2025) that is secured by the Company’s IQHQ investment. The closing of the Secured Revolving Credit Facility remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation and customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
