Orion Office REIT Inc. (the “Company”, “Orion”, “we” or “us”) is an internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the ownership, acquisition, and management of a diversified portfolio of office buildings located in high-quality suburban markets across the U.S. and leased primarily on a single-tenant net lease basis to creditworthy tenants. The Company’s portfolio is comprised of traditional office buildings, as well as governmental office, medical office, flex/laboratory and R&D and flex/industrial properties.
The Company was initially formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Realty Income Corporation (“Realty Income”). Following completion of the merger transaction involving Realty Income and VEREIT, Inc. (“VEREIT”) on November 1, 2021, Realty Income contributed the combined business comprising certain office real properties and related assets previously owned by subsidiaries of Realty Income, and certain office real properties and related assets previously owned by subsidiaries of VEREIT (the “Separation”), to the Company and its operating partnership, Orion Office REIT LP (“Orion OP”), and on November 12, 2021, effected a special distribution to its stockholders of all the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Distribution”).
Following the Distribution, the Company became independent and publicly traded and its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, trades on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “ONL” and has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2021.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company commenced classifying certain of its properties which are being repositioned, redeveloped, developed or held for sale as non-operating properties rather than operating properties, resulting in six properties being removed from operating properties. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed a parcel split of its property located in Amherst, New York, which included two buildings. As a result of the split, the two parcels and respective buildings on the parcels are being reported as separate operating properties. As of September 30, 2024, the Company owned and operated 70 office properties with an aggregate of 8.1 million leasable square feet located in 29 states.
In addition, the Company owns an equity interest in OAP/VER Venture, LLC (the “Arch Street Joint Venture”), an unconsolidated joint venture with an affiliate of Arch Street Capital Partners, LLC (“Arch Street Capital Partners”). As of September 30, 2024, the Arch Street Joint Venture owned a portfolio consisting of six office properties totaling approximately 1.0 million leasable square feet located within six states.
