Land & Buildings Investment Management, holding over 3% of SmartRent (NYSE: SMRT) shares, sent a public letter to SmartRent's Board highlighting the company's consistent failure to execute its growth strategy and achieve targets since its 2021 listing. Shares have dropped over 80% from their peak. Despite SmartRent's strong market position and valuable assets in the multifamily PropTech sector, Land & Buildings believes the company must explore strategic alternatives, including a potential sale, to maximize shareholder value, potentially earning a 150%+ premium.
