Easterly Government Properties (NYSE: DEA) is a real estate investment trust that acquires, develops, and manages commercial properties leased primarily to U.S. federal government agencies. Revenue comes from long-term net leases with the federal government, where agencies pay rent under agreements typically administered through the General Services Administration. The portfolio concentrates on mission-critical facilities such as FBI field offices, VA outpatient clinics, DEA laboratories, and federal courthouses, where tenant switching costs are high due to specialized build-outs and operational dependencies. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (10-K filed February 23, 2026), Easterly operates as an externally or internally managed REIT structured around stable, government-backed cash flows. The company competes with other government-focused REITs and diversified commercial property owners for federal tenancy. Easterly pays dividends consistent with REIT distribution requirements and carries a debt load typical of leveraged real estate ownership. The business is headquartered in Washington, D.C., reflecting its focus on federal government tenants across the United States.
