Real Estate Portfolio Overview
As of September 30, 2023, we directly owned and managed a real estate portfolio that included 253 industrial buildings totaling approximately 53.2 million square feet located in 29 markets throughout the U.S., with 433 customers, and was 94.2% occupied (94.7% leased) with a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of approximately 4.1 years. The occupied rate reflects the square footage with a paying customer in place. The leased rate includes the occupied square footage and additional square footage with leases in place that have not yet commenced. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we transacted approximately 2.5 million square feet of new and renewal leases, and rent growth on comparable leases averaged 42.1%, calculated using cash basis rental rates (47.1% when calculated using GAAP basis rental rates).
Industrial market fundamentals remain favorable and we continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities within the industrial market to effectively execute our business strategy. As of September 30, 2023 our real estate portfolio included:
| ● | 246 industrial buildings totaling approximately 51.1 million square feet comprised our operating portfolio, which includes stabilized properties, and was 97.6% occupied (97.7% leased) with a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of approximately 4.1 years; and |
| ● | Seven industrial buildings totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet comprised our value-add portfolio, which includes buildings acquired with the intention to reposition or redevelop, or buildings recently completed which have not yet reached stabilization. We generally consider a building to be stabilized on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of a building’s shell completion or a building achieving 90% occupancy. |
Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, we owned and managed five buildings either under construction or in the pre-construction phase totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet. Unless otherwise noted, these buildings are excluded from the presentation of our portfolio data herein.
As of September 30, 2023, we owned and managed two industrial buildings totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet and three buildings that were either under construction or in the pre-construction phase totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet through our 8.0% minority ownership interest in the BTC II B Partnership. Unless otherwise noted, these buildings are excluded from the presentation of our portfolio data herein.
The purchase price capitalization rate is based on the property’s projected cash net operating income from in-place leases for the 12 months after the date of purchase, including any contractual rent increases contained in such leases for those 12 months, divided by the purchase price for the property, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses and other closing costs including acquisition costs.
