Scythian Real Estate, a Denver-based cannabis real estate company, has acquired two dispensaries in North Dakota. Scythian purchased the properties from Grassroots Cannabis.
North Dakota Marijuana Dispensaries Acquired in Sale-Leaseback Deal
The total size of the lots acquired in the real estate deal is more than 9,000 square feet, and the two cannabis properties come in at a combined cost of $3.4 million. The first property is located at 310 US-2 in Devils Lake and was recently upgraded as part of a major renovation. The second property is located at 318 24th St. East in Dickinson and first opened as a dispensary in December 2019.
Scythian Real Estate Partners with Grassroots Cannabis
The partnership between Scythian Real Estate and Grassroots Cannabis is expected to be a fruitful one. Scythian specializes in cannabis real estate acquisitions and long-term lease agreements, while Grassroots is one of the largest multi-state cannabis operators in the entire country. Scythian Real Estate Fund LLC has an investment portfolio of marijuana retail properties valued at roughly $40 million. Several of these assets are located in Colorado and are operated by The Green Solution, one of the most sophisticated cannabis retail businesses in the U.S.
Randy Roberts, a partner at Scythian Real Estate, stated that “Scythian is committed to working with cannabis operators like Grassroots Cannabis that have a proven track record of success.” Roberts added, “Both of these locations are well-positioned to support the long-term growth of Scythian’s portfolio as we continue to identify opportunities with highly sophisticated operators in quality markets.”
The two North Dakota properties acquired by Scythian in this sale-leaseback deal have already been leased back to Grassroots Cannabis, which will continue to operate the locations as dispensaries under the name Herbology.
