American Strategic Investment Co.

American Strategic Investment Co. is an externally managed real estate investment trust that owns a small portfolio of commercial properties in New York City, with a heavy concentration in Manhattan. Its assets are mainly office buildings, supplemented by retail space, amenities, and parking garages tied to those properties. The company’s portfolio is concentrated in a market that has been under pressure since the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected leasing, occupancy, and rental rates. As of September 30, 2025, it owned six properties totaling about 0.7 million rentable square feet, and one asset, 1140 Avenue of the Americas, was in a consensual foreclosure process. The business is managed day-to-day by related-party advisor and property manager entities, making external management and related-party fees an important part of the operating model.
