“Kudos to our team for another standout quarter. Ted touched on the supply and demand setup in our BBDs, and the national data shows just how broad it has become.”
“Kudos to our team for our standout second quarter. The macro story here is simple. Our Sunbelt markets are outperforming the nation, and a structural supply low is moving the market in our favor.”
“Our commute-worthy strategy centered on creating exceptional environments and experiences continues to differentiate Highwoods in a market constrained by a limited supply and a dearth of well-capitalized owners.”
“Our Sunbelt BBD strategy has proven resilient over the past several years, and we believe we're well positioned to continue this outperformance amid the economic uncertainty of government cutbacks, global tariffs, and the potential of a looming recession, just to name a few.”
“Office market fundamentals continue to strengthen, with office employment reaching an all-time high and the return-to-office movement in full swing. Nationally, CBRE reported improvement in the U.S. office market in the fourth quarter, marking the first decline in the overall vacancy rate in three years.”
