Item 1A. Risk Factors
We may not be able to obtain the necessary permits and licenses to invest in certain properties.,
page 67
3.We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 5. As it appears that the
company believes there is ambiguity on whether certain permits or licenses are required,
please provide risk factor disclosure on the risks of the company being deemed to be
operating without required licenses or permits.
Item 2. Financial Information
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
2023 Highlights (Results of Operations), page 98
4.We note that you disclose an annualized distribution rate. Please advise us why it is
appropriate to report this figure, as it appears that you have only paid monthly
distributions since November 2023 and not for two full fiscal quarters.
Item 3. Properties, page 106
5.We note that the company acquired two industrial properties on February 29, 2024. For
each property, disclose the location, purchase price, annual escalation, and lease terms, or
advise us why this information is not material to investors. Also revise to address the
material terms of the property acquired on January 29, 2024.
Consolidated Statement of Operations, page F-3
6.We note your response to prior comment 9. Rule 3-02(a) of Regulation S-X requires a
registrant that is an emerging growth company provide audited financial statements of
comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the two fiscal years preceding the date
of the most recent audited balance sheet (or such shorter period as the registrant has been
in existence). Therefore, we believe it is more appropriate to present audited financial
statements for a period beginning on January 24, 2023. Please revise as necessary.
7.We note your response to prior comment 10, in which you state that you computed
weighted average shares outstanding over a period beginning on November 1, 2023, the
initial date you issued common shares, through December 31, 2023. Please revise to
compute the number of weighted-average number of common shares in accordance with
the definition found in ASC 260-10-20. Refer to ASC 260-10-55-40 for additional
computational guidance.

Note 6. Leases, page F-13
8.We note your response to prior comment 13. To better understand why you believe the
$66.4 million property asset under triple net lease with one tenant is not effectively a
significant individual concentration of total assets as of December 31, 2023, please

address the following:
•In your calculation of significance inclusive of committed future $183.5 million
development spending, tell us how you factored in that portion of this total
development dollar commitment to be capitalized and added to the existing $66.4
million cost basis of the property. Please provide your revised calculation.
•Please tell us how you evaluated the credit risks associated with this tenant in
assessing collectability of future rentals due under this lease, and to whether
this included a related review of the tenant’s current financial statements.
•Please discuss the expected funding source for the amount of development spending
anticipated for the property, including the extent to which this will include
cash rentals to be received from the tenant.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
