What CTO Realty Growth, Inc. told the SEC could break it.
CTO Realty Growth's disclosures center on its dependence on Southeastern retail tenants. Its base rent is concentrated in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina (North Carolina alone roughly 15% of 2025 base rent), so a regional economic, weather or retail-demand shock would weigh disproportionately on results. As a retail REIT, its income hinges on tenants operating successfully enough to pay rent, taxes and insurance, so insolvency, bankruptcy or non-renewal would directly cut revenue — and that tenant base is itself exposed to U.S. and retaliatory tariffs (including from China) that could disrupt trade and the broader economy.
