Q & A Highlights
Q: What is driving the increase in your leasing pipeline, and is this indicative of a positive shift in the office leasing market? A: Paul McDowell, CEO, explained that the increase is due to both improved market conditions and specific leasing momentum on certain properties. He noted that while the market is improving, the numbers can be volatile due to the small size of their portfolio.
Q: How has your success rate in converting leasing inquiries into signed leases changed over the years? A: Paul McDowell highlighted a significant improvement in their success rate over the past two years. In 2023, they leased 230,000 square feet, which increased to 1.1 million square feet in 2024 and 900,000 square feet in 2025, with an additional 183,000 square feet so far in 2026. The decision-making process for tenants has also become quicker.
Q: Can you provide more details on the Barilla transaction, including how it was sourced and the asset's composition? A: Paul McDowell stated that the transaction was brokered and marketed. The property includes test kitchens and R&D facilities, with about half of the space dedicated to these functions and the other half to office use.
Q: What is the expected pace for disposing of vacant properties, and how does this align with your acquisition strategy? A: Paul McDowell mentioned that they had significant activity in 2025, selling 10 properties, and have continued this into 2026. They will evaluate whether to sell or lease up new vacancies. For acquisitions, they plan to recycle capital from sales into debt repayment, existing asset improvements, and new acquisitions.
Q: With a significant portion of leases set to roll over by 2028, what opportunities does this present for growing cash spreads and FFO? A: Paul McDowell expects core FFO to grow as the portfolio stabilizes and occupancy increases. While renewal rent increases have been mixed, they have seen positive trends in recent quarters and hope this continues as the market recovers, though volatility is expected.
