Industrial REITs Standardize Key Property Metrics

Rhea-AI Summary

Prologis (NYSE: PLD) has announced a significant initiative with other major industrial REITs to standardize non-GAAP property metrics calculations across the sector. The Industrial REIT Group, comprising Prologis, EastGroup Properties, First Industrial Realty Trust, and STAG Industrial, has updated their methodology for key metrics including property stabilization, occupancy, rent change, and customer retention.

(NYSE: PLD) today announced a coalition of industrial real estate investment trusts – Prologis, EastGroup Properties, Inc., First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., and STAG Industrial, Inc.
