Future Outlook and Strategy
- Core Business Focus: The company is focused on maintaining a diversified portfolio with a strong balance sheet, modest leverage, and good access to liquidity. The absence of near-term debt maturities provides security and optionality for capital recycling, acquisitions, and buybacks.
- Non-Core Business: The company is navigating an environment of uncertainty around inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical unrest, with a focus on maintaining competitive rental rates and strong leased percentages in its New York City-focused portfolio.
