Christopher Constant, president and CEO of Getty Realty Corp., said in a June 2026 interview at Nareit’s REITweek conference that the company’s portfolio is built to perform through changing market conditions by focusing on convenience retail and automotive-related properties that benefit from steady, non-discretionary consumer demand. Constant described the company’s “total value underwriting model,” which prioritizes properties in top 50 to top 100 U.S. markets with high customer visit frequency and easy access. He noted that Getty has redeveloped close to 40 properties into higher and better uses and sees embedded value in both its current portfolio and potential deals. Constant also stated that Getty was sitting on a record amount of deployable capital, with more than $125 million under contract at the end of the quarter. He said that many of the company’s tenants and potential tenants have been waiting for normalcy to return, but that their desire to grow and consolidate is now outweighing that hesitation as they seek to maximize value through real estate financing.
