2021 Guidance
The following provides key updates to our 2021 guidance based on our current view of existing market conditions and other assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2021. There can be no assurance that actual amounts will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations.
Key updates include projected 2021 earnings per share, funds from operations per share, funds from operations per share, as adjusted, occupancy, rental rate increases on lease renewals and re-leasing of space, same property net operating income increase, straight-line rent revenue, construction spending, acquisitions, real estate dispositions and partial interest sales, common equity, and 2021 debt capital proceeds held in cash as shown in the following tables. We remain committed to our guidance for net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA – fourth quarter of 2021, annualized, of less than or equal to 5.2x.
