Insights
TL;DR: Joint institutional ownership of 5.0% is material but reported as passive with no sole control.
The combined stake of 9,147,266 shares (5.0%) meets the threshold that requires public disclosure and may be relevant to holders monitoring institutional ownership shifts. The breakdown shows Principal Real Estate Investors LLC holds the bulk (7,680,443 shares, 4.2%) while Principal Global Investors holds 1,466,823 shares (0.8%). Both filers report only shared voting and dispositive power and explicitly deny sole control, indicating a passive, non-control position per the filing.
TL;DR: Disclosure signals a significant passive stake but contains no indication of activist intent or exclusive control.
The Schedule 13G shows the reporting entities exercise shared voting and shared dispositive authority and report no sole voting or dispositive power. The filers also certify holdings are in the ordinary course of business and not intended to influence control, which aligns with a passive institutional investor profile. For governance considerations, this reduces immediate likelihood of coordinated control actions based on the information in the filing.
