Inland American Real Estate Trust is now InvenTrust Properties Corp.

Oak Brook, Ill. - Inland American Real Estate Trust Inc. has changed its name to InvenTrust Properties Corp., effective immediately. The company’s new website address is Inventrustproperties.com.



In addition to its new name, InvenTrust is adopting a new logo and branding messages that emphasize the company’s role as a leader in the open air shopping center space. The company says the logo, which consists of two interfacing half circles symbolize the energy, collaboration, forward motion and growth potential of InvenTrust, and its strong connections to its retailers.



InvenTrust also continues to develop and expand its student housing business, University House Communities, with tactical acquisitions and development of new properties at national universities. Based in Dallas and led by its president Travis Roberts, University House has 14 properties with 7,986 beds and five additional properties in developments.



“Following the successful completion of our self-management transactions and the spin-off of our lodging platform, we believe the time is right to highlight and develop a brand that is independent from our sponsor,” said Thomas P. McGuinness, president and CEO of InvenTrust. “Our new name is consistent with our multi-tenant retail strategy to bring innovation and invention to the way we operate our open air centers. We are distinguishing ourselves in the retail business by working in partnership and in collaboration with our retailers for shared success. With our leadership team’s extensive retail experience, we are building a strong foundation for our company and earning a reputation for reliability with our business partners.”
