Previous wording
The infill Southern California industrial real estate sector continues to exhibit strong long-term fundamentals. These high-barrier infill markets are characterized by a relative scarcity of highly functional product, coupled with the limited ability to introduce new supply due to high land and redevelopment costs and a dearth of developable land in markets experiencing a net reduction in supply as, over time, more industrial property is converted to non-industrial uses than can be delivered. Meanwhile, despite the post-pandemic normalization of demand, underlying tenant demand within our infill target markets continues to be healthy, which is illustrated by strong renewal leasing activity, a dynamic regional economy, continued ecommerce activity and delivery volumes, as well as further compression of delivery time-frames to consumers and to businesses, increasing the significance of last-mile facilities for timely fulfillment. While we believe that our infill Southern California industrial property markets have demonstrated a high degree of resiliency related to occupancy and rental rates in the context of key market drivers over the last several years, we expect some ongoing volatility within our markets through the near term, principally driven by continued inflation and heightened uncertainty in the interest rate environment exacerbated by the current global geopolitical unrest. Market rent growth has normalized and decreased in the quarter in our infill Southern California markets, after increasing by approximately 80%, on average, through the pandemic.

Furthermore, despite some recent moderation, tenant demand within our infill target markets continues to be healthy, illustrated by strong leasing fundamentals as well as the dynamic Southern California regional economy which continues to exhibit growth in consumer spending with approximately $26 billion of incremental spending forecasted for 2024, according to Oxford Economics. While we believe that our infill Southern California industrial property markets have demonstrated a relatively high degree of resiliency related to occupancy and rental rates in the context of key market drivers over the last several years, we expect some ongoing volatility within our markets through the near term, principally driven by general macroeconomic and political uncertainty including an uncertain interest rate environment and global geopolitical unrest. Market rent growth continues to normalize, with rents decreasing in the current quarter within our infill Southern California markets, after increasing by approximately 80%, on average, through the pandemic. Also, during the quarter, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 98 (“AB 98”), which enacts statewide industrial development standards effective as of January 1, 2026. As is the case with local zoning requirements, the development standards of AB 98 will be considered in our investment decisions and construction projects. AB 98’s highest development standards focus on the development of larger buildings of 250,000 square feet or more where rezoning is required, and therefore we believe these new standards will have a minimal impact to our overall portfolio and business strategy given our primary focus on the repositioning and refurbishment of industrial buildings within the infill markets.
Previous wording
Tenant demand remains healthy within our portfolio, which is strategically located within prime infill Southern California industrial markets. The quality and intensity of tenant demand through the second quarter of 2024 is demonstrated through the Company’s strong leasing spreads and volume and retention rate (see “—Leasing Activity and Rental Rates” below). This tenant demand has been driven by a wide range of sectors, from consumer products, healthcare and medical products to aerospace, food and beverage, construction and logistics, among other sectors. We also continue to observe a notable volume of ecommerce-oriented tenants securing space within our infill property locations driven in part by delivery demand associated with last-mile distribution and local omnichannel retail fulfillment which are driving discernible shifts in inventory-handling strategies among retailers and distributors. Our portfolio, which we believe represents prime locations with superior functionality within the largest last-mile logistics distribution market in the nation, is well-positioned to continue to serve our existing diverse tenant base and attract incremental ecommerce-oriented and traditional distribution demand over the long-term.

We believe our portfolio’s leasing performance during the second quarter of 2024 has generally outpaced that of the infill markets within which we operate, and, as discussed in more detail below, our target infill markets continue to operate at high levels of occupancy. We believe this performance has been driven by our highly entrepreneurial business model focused on acquiring and improving industrial property in superior locations so that our portfolio reflects a higher level of quality and functionality, on average, as compared to typical available product within the markets within which we operate. We believe that our portfolio, with last-mile infill locations and a smaller average tenant size versus other non-infill competitors, is well positioned to serve regional consumption and less susceptible to changes in global trade flows. We also believe the quality and entrepreneurial approach demonstrated by our team of real estate professionals actively managing our properties and our tenants enables the potential to outcompete within our markets that we believe are generally otherwise owned by more passive, less-focused real estate owners.

As of June 30, 2024, 28 of our properties were under current repositioning or redevelopment and six of our properties were in the lease-up stage. In addition, we have a pipeline of six additional properties for which we anticipate beginning repositioning/redevelopment construction work between the third quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2025. The tables below set forth a summary of these properties, as well as the properties that were most recently stabilized in 2023 and 2024, as the timing of these stabilizations have a direct impact on our current and comparative results of operations. Furthermore, we estimate that over the next four years we have up to approximately 5.0 million rentable square feet of additional repositioning/redevelopment projects embedded in our portfolio that are not currently listed in the tables below. We consider a repositioning/redevelopment property to be stabilized upon the earlier of (i) reaching 90% occupancy or (ii) one year from the date construction work is completed.

Properties that are nonoperational as a result of repositioning or redevelopment activity may qualify for varying levels of interest, insurance and real estate tax capitalization during the redevelopment and construction period. An increase in our repositioning and redevelopment activities resulting from value-add acquisitions could cause an increase in the asset balances qualifying for interest, insurance and tax capitalization in future periods. We capitalized $7.4 million and $15.3 million of interest expense and $2.0 million and $4.4 million of insurance and real estate tax expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, related to our repositioning and redevelopment projects.

Continued inflationary and supply chain pressures have led to increased construction materials and labor costs, which when combined with longer lead times for governmental approvals and entitlements, have led to an overall increase in budgeted and actual construction costs as well as delays in starting and completing certain of our redevelopment projects. While low vacancy in our markets and continued rent growth (see “—Leasing Activity and Rental Rates” below) over the last several years has helped to mitigate some of the impact of rising construction costs and project delays, additional increases in costs, further delays or declining market rents could result in a lower expected yield on our redevelopment projects, which could negatively impact our future earnings.

As of June 30, 2024, our consolidated portfolio, inclusive of space in repositioning as described in the subsequent paragraph, was approximately 93.7% occupied, while our stabilized consolidated portfolio exclusive of such space was approximately 97.9% occupied. We believe the opportunity to increase occupancy at our properties will be an important driver of future revenue growth. An opportunity to drive this growth will derive from the completion and lease-up of repositioning and redevelopment projects that are currently under construction.

Additionally, we have 0.2 million rentable square feet of other repositioning projects. Vacant space at these properties is concentrated in our Los Angeles, Orange County and San Bernardino markets and represents 4.2% of our total consolidated portfolio square footage as of June 30, 2024. Including vacant space at these properties, our weighted average occupancy rate as of June 30, 2024 in our Los Angeles, Orange County and San Bernardino markets was 94.9%, 88.0% and 94.8%, respectively. Excluding vacant space at these properties, our weighted average occupancy rate as of June 30, 2024, in these markets was 98.5%, 99.0% and 98.2%, respectively. We believe that an important portion of our long-term future growth will come from the completion of these projects currently under or scheduled for repositioning/redevelopment, as well as through the identification or acquisition of new opportunities for repositioning and redevelopment, whether in our existing portfolio or through new investments, which may vary from period to period subject to market conditions.

The occupancy rate of properties not undergoing repositioning is affected by regional and local economic conditions in our Southern California infill markets. Although there has been a post-COVID normalization of market vacancy over the past year, the Los Angeles, Orange County, San Bernardino and San Diego markets are generally experiencing healthy tenant demand and low product availability. Accordingly, our properties in these markets have generally exhibited a similar trend. Although we cannot predict how our markets may perform in future periods, we believe that general market conditions will remain healthy through the remainder of 2024, and the long-term opportunity to increase occupancy and rental rates at our properties will be an important driver of future revenue growth.
Current wording
The occupancy rate of properties not undergoing repositioning is affected by regional and local economic conditions in our Southern California infill markets. Although there has been a post-COVID normalization of market rates and vacancy over the past year, the Los Angeles, Orange County, San Bernardino and San Diego markets are well-positioned for the long-term due to fundamental demand drivers and barriers for new supply. Although we cannot predict how our markets may perform in future periods, we believe that general market conditions will continue to offer the long-term opportunity to increase occupancy and rental rates at our properties which will be an important driver of future revenue growth.

Previous wording
Our leasing activity is impacted both by our repositioning and redevelopment efforts, as well as by market conditions. While we reposition a property, its space may become unavailable for leasing until completion of our repositioning efforts. As of June 30, 2024, we have 28 current repositioning/redevelopment projects with estimated construction completion periods ranging from the third quarter of 2024 through the fourth quarter of 2025, and an additional six repositioning and redevelopment projects in our pipeline with estimated construction completion dates through the third quarter of 2026. We expect these properties to have positive impacts on our leasing activity and revenue generation as we complete our value-add plans and place these properties in service.
