SVC

Service Properties Trust (SVC) is a real estate investment trust that acquires, owns, and leases income-generating properties. Its portfolio includes hotel assets and service-focused retail net lease properties across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. The trust's strategy centers on long-term leases with established operators, generating stable rental income from its real estate holdings.

The company was established in 1995, initially as Hospitality Properties Trust, and incorporated in Maryland. The founding insight, driven by individuals associated with The RMR Group, targeted opportunities within the lodging sector, specifically select-service and extended-stay hotels, alongside other service-oriented commercial real estate. This formed its specialized initial portfolio.

SVC's clients are hotel brands and retail businesses operating its leased properties. The trust's long-term vision focuses on expanding and maintaining a robust, diversified portfolio of service-oriented real estate assets. This strategy aims to provide consistent income streams through strategic property ownership and responsible asset management within its defined segments.
