Positive Office Absorption and Strong Leasing Activity
Achieved positive net office absorption of approximately 104,000 square feet in Q4; signed 224 office leases covering 906,000 square feet in the quarter (274,000 sf new leases, 632,000 sf renewals). For all of 2025 signed 896 office leases totaling 3.4 million square feet. New leasing comprised roughly 30% of activity in the quarter, and expansions outpaced contractions.
Multifamily Outperformance
Multifamily portfolio reached essentially full occupancy with same-property cash NOI up ~5% year-over-year in Q4; strong demand and rising rents drove positive multifamily results.
Improving Leasing Economics
Straight-line lease value increased by 2% over the life of leases executed in the quarter; contractual rent bumps of 3%-5% annually help preserve cash flow; beginning cash rent on new leases was 10% lower than prior leases but higher-value new leases executed. Q4 office leasing costs were low at about $5.76 per square foot per year, below benchmark peers.
Active Development and Pipeline
Acquired 10900 Wilshire and planning conversion to high-end mixed-use (200 apartments + additional units); started construction on the Landmark Residences redevelopment and conversion projects (Studio Plaza and Brentwood redevelopment underway). Management noted additional residential development planning for multiple Westside sites (typical project size ~300–500 units) and previously disclosed a large developable apartment pipeline (~9,000 potential units).
Capital Markets Execution and Balance Sheet Actions
Successfully executed nearly $2 billion of debt transactions and refinanced over $1.66 billion of loans during 2025. One consolidated JV reduced debt by $60 million and fixed ~$565 million at 4.79% (effective through Nov 2027, loan matures Aug 2028). Closed a non-recourse construction loan up to $375 million (Brentwood), drew $49.5 million as of Dec 31, 2025; entered accreting swaps to effectively fix ~75% of the construction loan exposure at ~5.8% through Jan 2030.
Full-Year Operational Improvement
By focusing on revenue growth and expense control, the company achieved positive same-property cash NOI for the full year 2025. G&A remains low at approximately 4.9% of revenue, supporting operating efficiency.
Market Diversification and Local Strength
Leasing demand was broad-based across tenant industries (financial services, legal, health services, education, real estate) with no single segment >20% of demand. Honolulu and other markets showed positive momentum, and management highlighted favorable long-term fundamentals in core submarkets (Westside, Brentwood, Burbank).
