Future Outlook

The company anticipates that rental rates on new or renewed leases for 2024 expirations will be above current rates, but new development may slow potential rent growth. The company sees attractive acquisition opportunities, but acquisition volume will depend on the quality and pricing of the opportunity set and the price of the company's stock relative to net asset value. The company will continue to sell assets and redeploy the capital to enhance NAV per share growth or return the capital to shareholders.
