Rental income from long-term leases where tenants bear most operating costs.

Customers
FrontView's customers are tenants that need visible, accessible locations in dense retail corridors, especially service-oriented and necessity-based operators. The tenant mix includes medical and dental providers, quick service restaurants, casual dining, financial institutions, cellular stores, automotive businesses, fitness operators, pharmacies, convenience stores, gas stations, and other professional services. These customers value long lease terms and operational control of strategically important sites.
Medical, dental, financial, cellular, and professional service tenants lease prominent sites to support local customer traffic and visibility.
Quick service restaurants and casual dining tenants lease frontage locations to capture drive-by and neighborhood demand.
Automotive dealers, car washes, and automotive service businesses lease accessible sites with strong road frontage.
Pharmacies, convenience stores, gas stations, and discount retail tenants buy access to high-traffic, repeat-visit locations.
Fitness operators and home improvement stores lease larger, visible sites in active retail corridors.
Strategy
FrontView is focused on growing through acquisitions of frontage net-lease properties with creditworthy tenants and lease guarantors. Management also emphasizes maintaining balance sheet flexibility through a mix of debt and equity financing, including public equity access, to fund acquisitions and support liquidity. The strategy is designed to preserve diversification while expanding the portfolio in markets with durable traffic and replaceable rents.
Growth depends on adding properties that fit the company's visibility and replaceable-rent model.
Creditworthy tenants and guarantors help protect rent collections and financing access.
Acquisition growth depends on access to debt and equity on acceptable terms.
Geography
FrontView's portfolio is concentrated in the United States, with 303 properties across 37 states as of year-end 2025. The company says no single state exceeds 14.9% of ABR and 78.1% of properties are in the top 100 MSAs, indicating a broad but still market-sensitive footprint. Its exposure is tied to larger populated markets and active retail corridors, where traffic and local demand support tenant performance and rent durability.
Risks
FrontView's main risks come from tenant credit, vacancy, and the difficulty of growing through acquisitions in a competitive market. Because the portfolio is concentrated in U.S. retail corridors and relies on long-term net leases, local economic weakness, limited rent resets, or financing disruption can pressure growth and cash flow. As a REIT, it also faces tax qualification risk and the usual real estate exposure to valuation, concentration, and capital market cycles.
