  • Worst segment: Other segment—9.7% of ARR, occupancy improved to 75.5% but still low; accounted for 31% of portfolio vacancy

Risk Factors

  • Geopolitical risk: 35.4% of annualized rent revenue (ARR) from U.S. Government, exposed to federal budget reductions or shutdowns
  • Operational risk: reliance on 10 largest tenants accounting for 64.4% of ARR risks revenue concentration and tenant default
  • Competitive risk: evolving office real estate trends (remote work, coworking) may reduce future demand for their properties
  • Financial risk: fixed operating costs may rise even if rental revenue declines, potentially requiring additional borrowing
