Cousins Properties reported strong financial results for the second quarter, exceeding earnings expectations and raising guidance. The acquisition of The Link in Dallas represents a strategic expansion into a strong market. However, the company faces challenges with occupancy declines due to major tenant move-outs and slower lease-up at the Neuhoff development. Overall, the highlights outweigh the lowlights, with strategic acquisitions and a healthy leasing pipeline pointing to future growth.
