Rhea-AI Summary
AYR Wellness has announced the completion of a triple-net lease agreement with Innovative Industrial Properties to expand its indoor cannabis cultivation in Florida. The deal includes a 16-acre property with 145,000 square feet of industrial space, where AYR plans to redevelop a 98,000 square foot building into a cannabis cultivation facility. IIP will fund AYR up to $30 million for this construction. The project is expected to be completed by mid-2025, with the first harvest anticipated soon after. This expansion leverages Florida’s $2.5 billion medical cannabis market and positions AYR for potential growth if adult-use cannabis is legalized in November 2024.
