It reports $988 million of liquidity, Net Debt/EBITDA of 5.7x versus an 8.0x sector average, a 5.6MM square foot land bank, and 903K square feet of recently delivered development. Management also points to 48 consecutive quarters of increases in second-generation cash net rents and forecasts earnings growth of 12.2% between 2023 and 2026, supported by modest lease expirations and a leasing pipeline with 1MM square feet in negotiations or already signed.
