Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc IIPR, said Thursday it closed the acquisition of the final parcel of a four-property portfolio in California that consists of around 79,000 square feet of industrial space.

Excluding transaction costs, Innovative Industrial Properties paid $17.3 million for the purchase, the company said. 

At the same time, the company has signed a long-term, triple-net lease at each property with a subsidiary of Medical Investor Holdings LLC, which is doing business as Vertical.

Smoke Wallin, the vice chairman and CEO of Vertical Wellness, said he believes the company's brands will become preferred products with a broad spectrum of retail customers and target consumers. 

"We look forward to exploring additional ways to partner with IIP as a real estate capital partner as our company continues scale our operations."

The stock was trading up 1.24% at $92 in Thursday's premarket session.
