Strong FFO Performance and Beat
FFO per share of $1.88 in 1Q26, up 10.6% year-over-year and ~$0.06 (3.6%) above the midpoint of guidance, driven by higher revenues, expense savings, term fees and favorable timing.
Raised Full-Year Guidance
Increased NAREIT and core FFO guidance to $7.46–$7.55 per share; midpoint uplift of $0.03–$0.04 implies ~6.3% core FFO growth vs. 2025, supported by improved comparable POI outlook (now 3.125%–3.625%).
Exceptional Leasing Volume and Rent Momentum
Record leasing for a 1Q with over 100 leases totaling ~649,000 sq ft (third-best quarterly volume ever), 13 anchor deals (~400,000 sq ft); comparable POI growth 4.7% (GAAP) and cash-basis comparable growth 5.1%; cash-basis minimum rent +3.6% for the quarter.
High Portfolio Occupancy and Leasing Metrics
Ended the quarter 96.1% leased and 93.8% occupied overall (portfolio lease rate 96.1%); comparable occupancy held better-than-expected (~94%), with executed-but-not-yet-occupied deals expected to add ~$36M of rent through 2026–2027.
Capital Recycling and Attractive Dispositions
Closed sales (Misora at Santana Row and Courthouse) totaling $159M at blended mid-4% cap rates; 2025 + YTD 2026 sales expected to total ~$540M with blended cash yield in the low- to mid-5% range, creating low cost of capital to reinvest.
Accretive Acquisitions and Active Pipeline
Acquired Congressional North for $72M at a 7% stabilized yield; $92M of acquisitions closed in 2026 YTD and management reports a robust pipeline and increased deal flow entering spring—Jan noted being busier than in a long time.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity Improvements
Revolving credit facility upsized to $1.4B, initial term extended to April 2030 (extension options to 2031) and spread reduced by 5 bps to 72.5 bps over SOFR; repaid 1.25% notes and only ~$50M of maturities remain in 2026.
Operating Portfolio Strength and Consumer Metrics
Office portfolio ~99% leased with multiple assets 94%–100% leased; foot traffic +3% for the quarter (April +4%); restaurant productivity strong—full-service $723/sq ft and fast-casual $873/sq ft (both >2x national averages) with occupancy cost ratios ~9%.
Residential Development Upside
Allocated $400M for targeted residential development (nearly 800 units expected), with projects (e.g., The Blair at Ballard + Kenwood) already ahead of leasing pace (34% leased) and expected to add ~$27M of new operating income once stabilized.
Free Cash Flow & Debt Metrics Outlook
Expect free cash flow after dividends and maintenance capex to exceed $100M in 2026 and to grow in 2027–2028; annualized net debt/EBITDA ~5.5x and fixed charge coverage ~3.9x with target to eclipse 4.0x during 2026.
