Overview
In 2019, BB&T Corporation (NYSE: BBT) and SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE: STI) announced a merger to become Truist Bank (NYSE: TFC), headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. The merger of the two banks created the sixth-largest US bank in both assets and deposits. The combination of the two banks means that Truist serves more than 12 million households across the US. Truist branches are a strong net lease asset to hold, frequently signing NNN leases rather than ground leases. Note: data on property and lease details for Truist might be subject to change, as the merger of the two banks (and their lease types and building prototypes) evolves.
