SAFE Estimated UCA $9.51B as of March 31, 2026

AI Summary

Safehold Inc. announced its estimated unrealized capital appreciation (UCA) in its owned residual portfolio was $9,510 million as of March 31, 2026. The company, formed from the merger of Old SAFE and iStar in March 2023, calculates UCA as the excess of aggregate "Combined Property Value" over the cost basis of its Ground Lease portfolio. This metric helps assess the safety of its capital structure position and the quality of long-term cash flows, with independent valuations provided by CBRE, Inc.
