These “Durable” Commercial Real Estate Investments Will Pay You for Decades

What separates a piece of commercial real estate that doesn’t survive from one that endures for decades —and through multiple market cycles ? It’s a question Ed Pitoniak, founder and CEO of VICI Properties , has spent the last several years working to answer. Today, Ed leads one of the nation’s largest owners of experiential commercial real estate . But he took an unconventional path to get there, starting at a ski publication before moving into hospitality and, eventually, real estate. Along the way, he forged the skills and perspective needed to navigate some of the industry’s toughest challenges , from the rising costs of capital to tenant concentration risk . Ed shares how he underwrites real estate deals to account for today’s high-interest-rate environment and the two-part strategy he’s using to slowly but surely diversify VICI’s tenant base. He also breaks down how his team evaluates not only the properties they acquire but also the triple-net lease tenants occupying them after closing. Plus, Ed shares the thesis behind a real estate category he believes will be one of the more durable asset classes over the next several decades.
