(AGTK) www.AgritekHoldings.com, a fully integrated, active real estate investor for the cannabis sector, today announced that the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire for a sale lease back its first cannabis zoned industrial property located in Pompano Beach, Florida.

“The rental income and advisory services proceeds generated from our newly expanding real estate portfolio will be utilized to create long-term shareholder value through the build out of our acquisition efforts to further expand our footprint within the cannabis sector,” stated B. Michael Friedman, interim CEO of Agritek Holdings.
This sale-leaseback transaction will mark Agritek Holdings’ first proposed property acquisition and leaseback transaction this year, with additional proposed transactions for GMP facilities in both California and Oregon expected to be completed upon additional funding of its real estate division.
