Connecticut Based REITs

If REITs are a part of your investment portfolio, or if you've been thinking about investing in REITs, It's a good idea to start in your own back yard. Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (UBP) and Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (STWD) are two Connecticut based companies that you should be looking at.

Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc is a self-administered equity real estate investment trust founded in 1969 providing investors with a means of participating in the ownership of income-producing properties with ready liquidity. UBP's core properties consist of community shopping centers in the northeastern part of the United States.

Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. is located at 321 Railroad Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830 For more info on this company, visit www.ubproperties.com

Starwood Property Trust, Inc. is a holding company and conducts its business through its subsidiaries. The Company is focused on originating, investing in, financing and managing commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate debt investments, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), and other commercial real estate-related debt investments. In addition, it also invests in residential mortgage loans and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). It makes certain investments in RMBS, which it uses as an alternative investment for its available cash. In April 2013, Starwood Property Trust Inc acquired LNR Property LLC from Vornado Realty Trust, iStar Financial Inc (24%), Cerebrus, and Oaktree Capital Management LP.
