However, many REITs were forced to cut or suspend their dividend payments in 2020 during the COVID crisis.

The next two years it expects to partially reinstate its dividend to $3.50 per share. Then in year 4, it expects to fully reinstate its dividend to $8.75 per share and to increase those dividends at about 3.1 percent per year in the future.
