Business Line Data and Key Metrics Changes - The company signed 218 office leases in Q4, covering 772,000 square feet, with a total of 924 office leases for 2022 covering 3.7 million square feet [5][6]. - The leased rate declined by 53 basis points to 87%, and the occupied rate decreased to 83.7% due to a slowdown in activity in Q4 and recapturing space from nonpaying tenants [5][6]. - The multifamily portfolio remains nearly full at 99.4% leased, with an average rent increase of over 5% for new tenants in Q4 [5][6]. Market Data and Key Metrics Changes - The company experienced a slowdown in new and renewal demand from large tenants in Q4, while small tenants continued to show good activity, leasing 770,000 square feet during the quarter [1][5]. - The overall absorption was slightly negative for the year, and the company anticipates no meaningful recovery in office occupancy during 2023 due to the macroeconomic climate [1][8]. Company Strategy and Development Direction - The company is focused on maintaining occupancy and growing occupancy rates, with a strategy to prioritize smaller tenants who have shown resilience during the pandemic [5][6]. - The company is exploring new development projects, particularly at Barrington Plaza, and is optimistic about changes in state law that may facilitate development [12][21]. - The management believes there are more opportunities in the office sector compared to residential, citing a diverse tenant base and strong leasing activity in their markets [67][68]. Management's Comments on Operating Environment and Future Outlook - Management expressed concerns about the economic outlook and its impact on leasing activity, noting a significant drop in leasing volume in Q4 [25][70]. - The company remains cautious in its guidance, assuming flat occupancy growth for 2023, while acknowledging the potential for recovery if economic conditions improve [8][70]. - Management is optimistic about the long-term prospects for their office portfolio, citing strong leasing activity prior to the economic downturn [67][68]. Other Important Information - The company has no outstanding debt maturing until December 2024, and nearly half of its office portfolio remains unencumbered [3]. - The company expects interest expenses in 2023 to be between $192 million and $196 million due to increasing interest rates and expiring swaps [8]. Q&A Session Summary Question: Guidance on retention and rent spreads for 2023 - Management does not provide specific guidance on retention rates but historically, they remain in the mid-60s range. Predicting rent spreads has been challenging, and management focuses on retaining and growing occupancy [11]. Question: Updates on new development projects - The next major focus is on construction at Barrington Plaza, with positive changes in state law making development more feasible [12]. Question: Demand for Warner Bros Discovery leases - There is uncertainty regarding the renewal of Warner Bros leases expiring in 2024, with management expressing caution about the economic outlook [14][15]. Question: Capital allocation for 2023 - Management is considering various options for capital allocation, including acquisitions and share buybacks, but emphasizes the importance of finding the right opportunities [16][39]. Question: Changes in leasing terms and tenant decision-making - Smaller tenants are generally opting for shorter lease terms, typically around five years, reflecting their cautious approach in the current economic climate [51]. Question: Impact of state legislation on residential zoning - Management believes the new legislation may not significantly increase supply but enhances the value of their existing land for development [61]. Question: Update on Regal Cinema lease situation - Management refrained from commenting on individual tenants but acknowledged awareness of the situation [63]. Question: Opportunities in office versus residential - Management sees more potential in the office sector due to a diverse tenant base and strong leasing activity, despite the current economic challenges [67][68].
