Carey serves tenants in the United States and Europe, and its geographic reach has included markets such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands. Founded in 1973 by William Polk Carey, the company developed from a provider of sale-leaseback financing into a publicly traded real estate owner and manager. W.P.
