American Strategic Investment Co. is an externally managed company that owns a portfolio of commercial real estate located primarily in Manhattan and the other four boroughs of New York City. Its assets consist of office properties and the retail spaces, amenities, and parking garages that often accompany those offices. As of December 31, 2025, the company owned five properties comprising 700,000 rentable square feet, excluding one property, 1140 Avenue of the Americas, which was in a consensual foreclosure process. Following a strategic shift announced in December 2022, American Strategic Investment Co. expanded its investment scope beyond traditional REIT‑eligible real estate to include other asset classes such as hospitality, residential, and real estate debt, aiming to diversify income sources and reduce reliance on the office market.

The company’s primary source of revenue is rental income generated from leasing office and retail space to tenants. In addition, it may earn interest income from investments in real estate debt, including first mortgages, bridge loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity, and securitized loans. The company also realizes gains from the disposition of properties, exemplified by the $47.9 million gain recognized in 2025 on the 1140 Avenue of the Americas property during its consensual foreclosure.

The New York City real estate market is highly competitive, and the company competes for tenants based on location, rental rates, security, suitability of property design, and the quality of property management. It also competes for acquisitions with REITs, specialty finance companies, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, mutual funds, and other investors. Many of these competitors possess substantially greater financial resources and can assume higher risk levels than the company. To differentiate itself, American Strategic Investment Co. targets properties with 80% or higher occupancy at purchase, seeks to acquire assets below replacement cost, and emphasizes long‑term leases to stabilize cash flow.

The tenant base is diversified across sectors; as of December 31, 2025, on a weighted‑average straight‑line rent basis, 27% of tenants were in government/public administration, 14% in retail, 13% in non‑profit, 10% in office space, and 10% in fitness. No other sector accounted for more than 10% of the portfolio’s rental income. The company’s top ten tenants included 44% with actual investment‑grade ratings and 25% with implied investment‑grade ratings. Two tenants each contributed more than 10% of total annualized rental income, though their names are not disclosed in the filing. Overall occupancy stood at 80.3% with a weighted average remaining lease term of 6.1 years.
