GNL completes $3.3b two-year disposition plan, strengthening balance sheet for 2026
by Andrea Zander
Over the course of the disposition program, GNL sold approximately $3.3 billion of assets, strengthening its balance sheet and creating greater flexibility for future capital deployment, including its previously announced stock buyback program and acquisitions. In an exclusive interview, Michael Weil, CEO, president and director of GNL, spoke in depth about the McLaren transaction as a successful, opportunistic sale, citing the asset’s strong real estate fundamentals, long-term lease structure, and the tenant’s significantly improved credit profile. He also emphasized the role of GNL’s experienced internal asset management team and long-standing relationships with commercial brokers, which have been critical in understanding local markets, identifying the right buyers, and achieving disciplined pricing. Beyond the McLaren deal and strategic disposition plan, Weil outlined GNL’s priorities for 2026 and shared broader insights on the net-lease sector.
