CEDARHURST, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Postal Realty Trust, Inc.

Andrew Spodek, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “2021 was a strong year for the Company, and we are proud that we exceeded our acquisition target for the year, completing over $100 million of accretive acquisitions within our targeted cap rate range. We continue to execute on our USPS property consolidation strategy, and head into 2022 with a robust pipeline of opportunities, although we anticipate that industry-wide cap rate compression is likely to continue. The Company has a solid foundation to build on its past growth in 2022 as we continue to expand our reach across the USPS network and create value for our shareholders.”
