The company also reported significant leasing activity during the fourth quarter, with approximately 57,000 square feet of office space and 100,000 square feet of retail space leased, with notable increases in average rents. The company maintained strong liquidity with $825.7 million available as of the end of 2024.
The report indicates a balanced performance across its diversified asset portfolio, with gains in the retail and multifamily segments offsetting challenges in the office segment due to lower occupancy.
