Given the number of participants on the call, we kindly ask that you limit yourself to one question during the Q&A portion. If you have additional questions, please review. With that,
I will turn the call over to John Wood. Thank you, Jill, and good afternoon, everybody. Strong year, strong 2026 guidance. 6.4% bottom line FFO growth in the quarter, 4.3% for the year, and guidance close to 6% at the midpoint for 2026. All those numbers, of course, eliminate the impact to the one-time new market tax credit last year as reflected in our new core FFO metric. More to come on that from Dan. Business is good with strong demand for our assets in both our historical locations as well as the newer markets. We ended the year with the overall portfolio 96.1% leased, 94.1% occupied, about 50 basis points higher than that, excluding newly acquired centers. No surprise that leasing drives these and future results. With 601,000 feet of comparable deals done in the quarter at 12% rollover and 2.3 million feet of comparable deals done for the year at 15% rollover, an incremental $11 million of new rent is under contract. Starting rent on the new 2025 leases was $37.98, compared with ending rent on those same spaces, after years of contractual bumps, by the way, of $33.12. We also did 20 non-comparable deals in 2025 at an average rate of $48.18, resulting in an incremental $6.3 million of new rent under contract, and the deal pipeline continues to look strong. Wendy will talk more about that in a little bit. Signed in the fourth quarter included weighted average contractual rent bumps of 2.6%. As strong as operations were, transaction activity was equally robust in the fourth quarter and thus far into 2026. We closed the Annapolis Town Center in Maryland and Village Point in Omaha, adding nearly a million square feet to the portfolio for $340 million and an initial cash-on-cash yield in the low 7% range. The merchandising and sales at these locations are the focal points of these two A-quality assets over the next five years with targeted unlevered IRRs. Both have started out as we did earlier in the year, including Del Monte Center and two Leawood, Kansas properties, are looking like excellent additions, particularly in Leawood, where tenant demand and expected rents are exceeding our underwriting. On the disposition side, we closed on the sale of Bristol Plaza in Connecticut and Palace, the peripheral residential building at Pike and Rose in the quarter, for a combined sales price of $169 million. Just last week, we closed on Messora, the peripheral residential building at Centenario, for proceeds of nearly $150 million, along with another small asset sale for $10 million. The combined cap rate of these dispositions was in the low fives. As we've talked about over the last several quarters, to intensify our properties with development, usually residential products that is complementary to our shopping centers with little to no incremental land costs, the math works in the right locations. If 2025 has taught us anything about value, it's that high-quality apartments adjacent to great shopping environments and strong suburban locations create a more desirable living environment. That translates on sale, the 2025 and 2026 sales of Lavari and Masora at Santana Rowe and Palace at Pike and Rose in unmatched cost of capital for us to reinvest in material amounts at sub 5% overall. We previously disclosed the allocation of a total of $280 million for new residential development of the Blair at Ballack-Inwood, which is nearly complete and ready for lease up beginning this quarter, 301 Washington Street in Hoboken, and Lot 12 at Santana Rowe, which together will add more than 500 units to the portfolio. And just this quarter, we've added another residential project to our development schedule that you can see in the 8K. Willow Grove Shopping Center in suburban Philadelphia will be completely redeveloped and include an additional 261 apartments to complement a modernized and re-merchandized shopping center. Our experience with residential development at our retail-centric properties is a skill set developed over 25 years and is certainly a unique differentiator of our business plan. After enjoying the six and two from each of these residential additions for a period of time, we have the optionality to take advantage of cap rates well inside those yields and reinvest them tax efficiently. just as we've done so effectively last year and this. 2025 is a very special year for the trust. And 2026 and 2027 look to capitalize on that. While core leasing was exceptionally strong, it looks to remain that way in 2026. Our expanded geographical reach is proving particularly fruitful with strong retailer demand anxious to be part of our property improvement effort. Last of the COVID era office leasing effort has been largely completed with meaningful rent starting in 26 and 27. In fact, at the mixed-use properties, we should have zero level for lease, and that means 100% lease within the next 30 to 45 days. Our asset recycling effort is validating the long-term value creation that our business plan has created. And all of this is wrapped in a relatively stable interest rate in blackness that could result in lower rates as the year progresses. We'll see. The refinancing of our one and a quarter percent bonds, yep, one and a quarter percent this month, represents the last major component of our debt portfolio with such a large market rate adjustment likely. And even through that, we're guiding to near six percent growth. Later this spring, we'll showcase our plan through an Investor Day of Centennial Row. Jill has the details, and I think the save the dates have been sent out. Really looking forward to seeing most of you there. Enhanced internal and external growth using all the tools at our disposal is the name of the game. Quarters like this forth, and in fact all of 2025, increase my confidence of our ability to do so. Let me now turn it over to Wendy and then to Dan to provide
additional color. Wendy? Thank you, Don. In 2025, our leasing platform achieved record-breaking volume, delivering the highest annual square footage lease in company history, alongside the strongest comparable rent spreads achieved in over a decade. As we head into 2026, with an overall lease rate of 96.1%, our strategic focus will continue to be all about driving rent growth, disciplined expense management, and capitalizing on our quality real estate to provide continuous opportunities for multiple year growth. For the quarter, we signed 105 comparable deals achieving 12% rollover. 15 anchor leases and 90 small shop deals drove a 90 basis point increase in our total comparable lease rate sequentially. Looking ahead, the breadth and durability of demand across all categories remain strong, reinforcing my confidence in our outlook for the year ahead. Increased leased and occupied rates in Q4 drove our signed not occupied spread to 200 basis points, representing a contribution of an additional $27 million to our in-place portfolio. Robust anchor demand, particularly in California, is fueling momentum. While we anticipate seasonal occupancy shifts in the first half of 2026 while anchors transition, most of these deals are already executed at higher rents, positioning us for improved occupancy levels by the end of the year. Small shops remain a highlight at 93.8% leased, up 50 basis points, providing mark-to-market at opportunities to drive rent growth while continuing to prune and tweak a premium merchandising mix. Leasing production from our expanded acquisition initiatives over the last few years continues to exceed expectations. In 2025, we executed 49 deals, nearly 200,000 square feet, at 34% increase from prior rents. Over the next 24 months, we are targeting accretive capital allocations to better align these centers with our core operating standards and the high-income profile of the respective submarkets. Top-tier addition to these centers since acquisitions includes names such as SolidCore, Aloe, Design Within Reach, Love Sack, Free People Movement, and State and Liberty. More to come in 2026. Turning to our suburban portfolio in the greater Washington, D.C. area, we continue to see, we are continued to be encouraged by the resilience across our Maryland and Virginia assets. Foot traffic momentum remains strong, with quarterly traffic increasing 3% and up overall for the year. Annual sales moved higher year over year, while the fourth quarter sales remained stable from a strong prior quarter comp. What is especially encouraging to me is the outperformance of the hard goods category. We saw robust demand in furniture and home furnishings from premium brands such as Serena and Lily and West Elm and Surlacob. We view this as a strong indicator of the underlying health of our consumer base. Given that home furnishings are highly discretionary, our core customer in this region continues to invest in their home, signaling confidence in their personal financial position. Now let me turn
it over to Dan to dive into the numbers. Thank you, Wendy, and hello everyone. Our FFO per share of $1.84 for the fourth quarter reflects 6.4% growth versus last year and highlights a really strong underlying quarter operationally. This result came in slightly below the midpoint of guidance range solely due to a non-cash charge related to SACS filing for bankruptcy post-year end. Comparable POI growth excluding prior period rent term fees averaged 3.8 percent for the year and 3.1 percent for the fourth quarter. On a cash basis, this metric was 3.6 percent and 4.3 percent for the full year and fourth quarter. Now let me move quickly to the balance Liquidity at year-end stood at $1.3 billion under our available bank facilities and cash on hand. During the fourth quarter, we closed on an additional $250 million delayed draw term loan, providing us with enhanced financial flexibility. The facility has a five-year maturity since 2031 and an interest rate of SOFR plus 85 bills. With respect to our $400 million bond maturity next week, we will utilize this term loan and available capacity on our revolving credit facility to refinance it on a near-term basis. A possible unsecured note or convertible bond offering remain under consideration for later in 2026. Lease-up of the larger commercial components of our redevelopment pipeline nears completion. With Huntington Shopping Center fully stabilized, 915 Meeting Street 100% leased, and one Santana 100% committed, our free cash flow after dividends and maintenance capital is expected to exceed $100 million in 2026, and head higher in 27 as we convert straight-line rent to cash-paying rent. With these $600 million of projects behind us and essentially complete, our ongoing redevelopment pipeline moving forward stands at about $500 million. This pipeline includes 780 residential units, all at existing retail properties. We closed on asset sales of $169 million and added another $159 million subsequent to year end at a combined blended low 5% cap rate. We also have an additional $170 million of sales in process with expected closings in the first half of 2026 with cap rates targeted in the low 5% range. While we have been active over 2025 deploying capital externally through our disciplined asset recycling program, we continue to maintain strong leverage metrics. Fourth quarter annualized adjusted net debt deep at DOS stood at 5.7 times at year end, but is now inside 5.6 pro forma for the most recent asset sales and should trend further to the low to mid five times range over the course of the year. Fixed charge coverage now stands at 3.9 times and should eclipse our target metric of four times over the course of the year. on to a discussion of our new core FFO metric and guidance. After much discussion with the analyst and investor community over the course of 2025 regarding recurring FFO and significant one-timers, on a go-forward basis, we will be reporting both NARID FFO and core FFO. Core FFO is defined in our 8K financial supplement on page 10. It is also outlined in a table on the fourth page of the press release. It will be gap-based and simply adjust our NARID FFO for non-recurring one-time items in order to provide an enhanced comparability across periods for federal's underlying operating results. Such one-time items include new market tax credit transaction income, executive transition costs, collection of COVID-era prior period deferred rent, and other items, such as gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt. When we look forward to 2026, our guidance for both NAIRED and CORE FFO is $7.42 to $7.52 per share, with no one-time adjustments in the forecast. At the midpoint of $7.47 per share, this represents about 5.8% growth for CORE when compared to 2025 and 3.5% for NAIRED defined. In 2025, core FFO is $7.06 per share, and NAIREE FFO is $7.22 per share, with the material difference being the $0.15 of new market tax credit income. Guidance drivers to 2026 include comparable POI growth forecasted at 3% to 3.5%. This assumes the trajectory of occupancy, and the first half of 2026 moves into the mid-93% range before returning above the current 94% level and up into the mid and upper 94% range by year-end 2026. As a result, we are set up well for a strong 2027 on a comparable basis. Comparable lease rollovers are forecast in the low to mid-teens. Incremental POI contributions from our development and expansion pipeline is forecast in the 13 to 15 million dollar range please see some additional disclosure that we've added in our 8k at the bottom of page 29 with respect to the quarterly cadence of poi for 2026 from the development pipeline and guidance reflects a full year's contribution from 750 million of dominant high quality assets acquired in 2025 at roughly a 7% blended cash cap rate and a 7.5% gap cap rate. We're assuming our 1.25% unsecured notes are refinanced at a 4.25% to 4.5% interest rate under our available bank facilities. Please note that this represents a 170 to 180 basis point financing headwind, without which our midpoint core FFO for 2026 would be growing at roughly 7.5%. We assume the total credit reserve of roughly 60 to 85 basis points of rental income in 2026, given our limited exposure to credit issues. And additional guidance assumptions that we usually talk about here are outlined for capitalized interest, redevelopment spend, G&A and term fees on page 29 of our 8K supplement. does not include any acquisitions in 2026. None are probable enough at the moment. With respect to asset sales, it assumes only the dispositions announced last year. All other acquisitions and dispositions, we will adjust our guidance, likely upwards, as we go. With the quarterly cadence of FFO in 2026, the first quarter will start with a range of $1.80 to $1.83, with the normal 1Q seasonality and asset recycling activity impacting sequential cadence from 4Q. The second and third quarter will be in the mid-180s and the fourth quarter in the mid-190s
per share. And with that, operator, please open the line for questions.

Thank you. To ask a question, you may press star then 1 on your telephone keypad. If you're using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. At any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question, please press star then 2. We ask that you please limit yourself to one question and rejoin the queue if you have any further questions. The first question comes from Michael Griffin with Evercore ISI. Please go ahead.
Great, thanks. Maybe just turning to the investment pipeline, Don or maybe Jan, Can you give us a sense of, you know, what deals in the hopper are looking like today? You know, I realize you're not guiding to anything this year, but is this more of what we've seen at Town Center in Kansas City or at Village Point in Omaha? You know, is it stuff in kind of your core coastal markets? You know, what are you really targeting, I guess? And, you know, do you have a feeling that we could see some deals close, you know, at some point this year?
Hi, Michael. Yon, hope you're well. Thanks for the question. Look, we're still targeting large, dominant shopping centers. We're focused on new markets in the middle of the country. We're still also trying to acquire, you know, in the coasts in our existing markets. So, you know, right now there's a couple of acquisitions that we're working on.
We expect to see a lot more opportunities coming in the next several months, larger transactions. So, you know, some real reason to be optimistic. It's a little too early to kind of forecast how much we'll be able to buy this year.
But based on where we are today and similar to last year, I expect that the bulk of our activity will occur in the second half of this year.
So, from my perspective, reasons to be optimistic.
Operator
The next question comes from Cooper Clark with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.
Thanks for taking the question. I wanted to talk about the multifamily development and also ongoing recycling plan. I'm curious how much more peripheral multifamily you could potentially market for sale this year if you're able to source attractive opportunities on the acquisition side and also where yields stand today on the entitled multifamily development pipeline.
Sure, Michael. Let me start with you on that. Or Cooper, rather, sorry. Let me start on that. You know, it's such a kind of unique thing that we have here by having that value in there. there are still opportunities for us to monetize some residential product. And I'm not going to go into the specific ones right now, but you could probably guess. Again, they are peripheral to our primary mixed-use assets and our shopping center assets. But, you know, that stuff is at 5% or lower. in terms of those cap rates, and that's just, you know, it's just a real advantage. Now, in total, there's probably another $400 or $500 million to be able to do of that ilk. Not sure that we will do that. We don't have them in the marketplace yet, but I'm pushing hard, frankly, to start doing that come the second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter of this year, to the extent we find the assets that Jan was just talking about a minute ago. You have one other, you had a backup question. I don't remember what it was. Anybody?
Yields on development pipelines.
Yields on residential development pipelines.
And basically, we're able to underwrite the new development pipeline somewhere between 6.5% and 7% on most of them. The reality is those are low-fives cap rate assets today. If what happens, as what I think will happen, is while we enter into it 6.5% and 7%, you'll see strong growth in those assets. The one thing that is crystal clear is at fully amenitized shopping centers. Those rents are higher, they tend to have more retention, and they tend to grow faster. So I'm just really encouraged about this program, which I don't think anybody's got the expertise that we do on the shopping center side to be able to do this kind of stuff. We've been doing it for a long time. I think you should look hard at that portfolio, and we'll be talking to you more about
Operator
that in the quarters to come. The next question comes from Andrew Reilly with Bank of America. Please go ahead.
Hi, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. Wendy highlighted that 2025 delivered the strongest rent spreads, and I believe over a decade. I'm just wondering, is that pricing power being driven by any specific property types or regions, or is that really truly broad-based? And do you view these levels of pricing power across the portfolio as sustainable throughout 2026?
Thank you for the question, Andrew. I do consider them broad-based. You know, it's a good time to be in a COO position with this high demand that we're having across the board and limited supply and the kind of premier properties that we own. So, you know, it doesn't get any better than right now. I will say that what you're seeing on being able to drive rents, if you look at our last three years, we are consistently overall driving rents higher and higher percentage-wise every year for the last three years. So I'm really thrilled with that. And then when you look at, you know, the demand on the anchor side, you're going to see that our occupancy is going to be kind of driving up as we head into the latter part of the year. So, yes, all metrics are good right now. And I do think, although Dan's going to look at me, I do think given what I know of today and we look at our rollover for next year, we should be able to be equal to where we are today.
Operator
The next question comes from Greg McGinnis with Scotiabank. Please go ahead.
Hey, thanks for taking the question. Dan, I was just hoping that you could kind of give us the breakdown on the same-store NOI growth and then the primary pieces that are kind of adding on top of that to get to the 6% growth. That would be appreciated. And if there's anything in the term fee, which is bigger this year than last year,
that's like known and in particular, it would be appreciated.
uh yeah no with regards to kind of getting to the six percent ffo uh growth you know roughly and as i've been talking to folks the three to three and a half percent that i've been talking to folks about over the course of 2025 roughly about 30 30 cents of of growth there represents probably a good you know more than half of the the growth in an ffo uh drivers there um you know And then with probably net from acquisitions and net from redevelopment, you've got about 12 cents each there. So very, very consistent with kind of, you know, the guidance we've been given. The refi headwind is roughly, is kind of roughly 12 cents in terms of refinancing the one and a quarter percent bonds, the way we're planning them out. That gets you to kind of almost that 6% FFO drive. And, you know, our comparable growth is pretty broad based. It's rent bumps. It is rollover. It is parking. It is across the spectrum of kind of what we, you know, create in terms of a comprehensive shopping center growth profile. um you know nothing stands out there and with regards to term fees um it's slightly higher than last year we're just under six million uh we're guiding to seven to eight um and we kind of feel like you know there's there's some things that are identified um you know we'll see how that comes out that's an estimate um and that's why we give a range um but but you know kind of in line. Our 20-year history is probably in and around $7 or $8 million. The last 10 years, probably more in the $5 to $6 million. So, you know, you are kind of right in line
Operator
with historical levels on term fees. The next question comes from Craig Mailman,
Red City. Please go ahead. Hey, everyone. Just curious, Don, as you guys ramp up, The sales here and acquisitions take a little bit longer and we're back and waiting in a given year. Just from a timing perspective, do you have enough cushion in the dividend to either 1031 means from a timing perspective or absorb some of the gains or, or could there be a bit of a special potential here as we move on later through the year?
I think, Craig, that you can count on us managing tax efficiently through the dividend and sales of gains and 1031s. All of those tools are available to us to manage our tax points and our dividend in line with what we've been doing for a bunch of years. That's what you should expect, not a special dividend.
Operator
Next question comes from Alexander Goldfarb with Piper Sandler.
please go ahead. Hey, good evening. Don, you were among the standouts sticking with the NARIT FFO not going to core. Real estate, you know, has a lot of, you know, there's a lot of costs. There's a lot of benefits, right? Sometimes you win on revenue. Sometimes there's added costs from various things. But as you run the company and look at your team, you don't judge them and say, oh, we'll take out these items, take out those items. I'll give you, you know, I'll let you hit your number. You judge your team based on, you know, how they perform. So when you switch to the core, I get it that there's volatility, but at the same time, isn't the whole point to judge the company based on the results they deliver, you know, as sort of the ball lies, not where,
you know, you'd like it to be? Alex, the adding on a core FFO metric is truly simply a tool that's aimed not having anything to do with this team at all, but everything to do with being able to better analyze the financial results of the company, making it easier for you to see, kind of missing some of the missteps that we've had in the past with simply using Nary FFO. And so that is completely what this is all about. What is important in our view is that this is not used as a nickel and diming, if you will, of the NARID FFO result, but rather big items, consequential items that just plain old distort the operating results of the company. That's all that's about. This team is judged on their performance based on what they do day in and day out, and changing to a core FFO metric will have no impact on that whatsoever.
Operator
The next question comes from Michael Goldsmith with UBS. Please go ahead.
Good afternoon. Thanks a lot for taking my question. Comparable POI growth in 2025 of 3.8%, initial guidance for 2026 of 3 to 3.5%. So just a couple questions on this. can you bridge the gap from 25 to 2026? Any headwinds that would drive a deceleration? And then is that three to three and a half percent? Is that the right way to think about this steady state runway rate of the business? Or as you continue to reposition the portfolio into higher growth assets, can it accelerate from here? Thanks.
Yeah. The big driver in terms of the deceleration is just, you know, we will be turning over, as Wendy alluded to in her comments, a significant amount of anchor space that's already leased at much higher rents, but there will be downtime as leases end, and we position the spaces to give to the incoming tenants at higher rent. That's about a 75 basis point drag of comparable POI. So the three to three and a half is got 75 basis points of drag from that temporary disruption in occupancy. And so we'll see a spike in S&O as a result over the course of the year. So we're at 200 basis points. It's been increasing as both metrics increase, occupied, and leased. So we expect that to balloon a bit in the middle of the year and then come back down by the end of the year as occupancy levels get back up into the 94%, mid-94s, upper 94s from the 94% level today. That's probably the biggest driver. The second question, steady state. Yeah, I would say, look, I think historically, when you look back, we're in the 3% to 4% range. I think with some of the acquisitions, $2 billion of acquisitions, and we're seeing that we're operating these assets, I think, better than we had expected. And with growth rates that are higher than the kind of 3% to 4% that we've historically seen in our portfolio, I would hope that that would move up into the upper end of kind of the 3% to 4% range. And, you know, I think next year, 2027, we're well positioned to kind of be in and around that 4% level from where we sit today. The next question
Operator
comes from Ravi Radia with Mizzouho. Please go ahead. Hi there. Hope you guys are doing well.
I wanted to ask about 10 and credit. It seems like the reserves are a bit conservative. Can you provide a bit more color here? What was the amount realized in full year 25? And are there any tenants or categories on your watch list? Can you add color on the mark-to-market opportunity for some of the recent bankruptcies, container stores? There were too many questions in there,
so let me just start here with regards to the tenant credit. 60 to 85 is lower than we were to start the year last year at 75 to 100. We were about 80-ish finishing up the year, you know, kind of in that ballpark. It's not very a precise number, but yeah, that's kind of where we end up, kind of 80 to 85 in 2025. The 60 to 85, we don't have a lot of exposure to tenant credit issues. We just don't. We do have SACS. SACS has got two exceptionally strong locations. One we're getting back or expect to get back, or it's closed for going out of business sales, an off-fifth at Assembly Row, which is a great box facing the power center right on a corner. It's probably got a 100% roll-up in rent from what's current rent to where market rent is, so it's a huge opportunity. And the other location is a Saks Fifth Avenue store, flagship location on Greenwich Avenue, hugely productive in the over-affluent sub-market of Greenwich, Connecticut, arguably one of the best pieces of real estate in the portfolio. So, yeah, we'll see how that all plays out, but, you know, really, really great real estate with respect to that. The other thing that we keep an eye on is, and we've talked about it, is Container Store. Both, you know, all five locations paying rent, all five locations we feel good about. You know, I think that that's kind of the color we can give there. And we'll see how this all plays out.
I think we're well covered in the 60 to 85 basis point range that we've given.
Operator
The next question comes from Rich Hightower with Barclays. Please go ahead.
Hi, good evening, guys. I want to go back to one of the comments Wendy made in the prepared commentary about California being especially robust, I guess, enough to make it into the comments. So just tell us what's going on there. I guess we're hearing that from other property types as well. So perhaps it's all sort of singing the same chord, but I'd like to hear what you guys
are seeing. To answer that, Jeff, I'd love you. Jeff runs our West Coast operations as our president. Jeff, I'd love you to talk about that. Yeah, sure. Rich, thanks for the question. Simply put, California is going to be our largest source of growth for the next few years, given the backlog of leasing and development activity and the strategic capital recycling we're seeing out of Santana Rowe and Grossmont. So California is going to be a big, big contributor
Operator
going forward for a number of years. Next question comes from Linda Sarr with
Jeffrey. Please go ahead. Hi. Just a question on timing. In terms of the $13 to $15 million for the development expansion pipeline, what's the timing of that? Yeah, we've given some additional
disclosure that hopefully will make it easy for everybody to understand. At the bottom of page 29 in our 8K supplement, at the bottom of the guidance page, there is sequential quarterly cadence of the increase over the course of the year. It'll be pretty pro rata. It'll be pretty close each quarter. And you'll see the ramp up from the $17 million coming from the properties in the development pipeline up to roughly a midpoint range. It gets you to kind of 30 to 32 or 31 midpoint. And so that $14 million, the cadence is outlined there. Anybody have any questions with regards to this additional disclosure that I think would be welcome by
most of you, feel free to give me or jail a call. We'll walk you through it.
Operator
The next question comes from Flores Van Dyken with Landenburg.
Please go ahead. Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. So, it seems like some people, based on the questions you've had, the comp NOI growth perhaps is understating the true growth that you expect to get from this portfolio and from this portfolio in 26. And I know that in the past, your comp NOI as a percentage of overall NOI was actually pretty robust and pretty high. What percentage of your NOI is being captured in your comp pool today, and how does that impact the S&O pipeline as well?
Yeah, I would estimate that kind of what's in the comparable pool is probably 85%, 90%. We can kind of refine that, but that feels about right.
You know, with regards to S&O, our S&O within the existing pipeline is growing and significantly growing.
With the commencement of the PwC lease and beginning to recognize that in the fourth quarter, what's coming from the development portfolio is not going to be as high as it was in past years. So S&O is probably around $27 million in the existing portfolio and another $5 or $6 million in the development portfolio. And so the cadence, about 75% of that will come on next year, so roughly call about $25 million. That'll roughly kind of $10 to $11 million in the first half of the year and call it $14 to $15 million in the second half of the year.
And then the balance in 2017.

The next question comes from Juan Sanabria with Amo Capital Markets. Please go ahead.
Hi. Good afternoon. Just hoping you could talk a little bit about the anchor movement, kind of what's driving that. Is that proactive by you or is that something else that's going on? And then you kind of mentioned a one-time hit that otherwise you would have hit your expectations related to SACS if you could just quantify.
that dollar amount, that'd be helpful. Thank you. Yeah, Juan, first of all, on the anchors, simply timing. The way the expirations were working, particularly on the West Coast assets, there were expirations that were coming due a lot last year and in the first half of this year, et cetera. So we've been on top of that to try to make sure that we've got either new tenants coming in. Grossmont is basically a redevelopment of the entire asset there that's happening. Best Buy at Santana Row, which you may remember, going out after an extremely productive period of time for a new lifetime deal there. It's simply the timing that, you know, we've got all these up, but they'll be a hit in the meantime. But we're plowing right through that, and they're still going to grow, hopefully, at 6% next year. So that's what's going on with respect to the
anchors, nothing more than timing. And what was the last one? The SACS charge was a non-cash charge, riding off straight-line rent at roughly around 3 cents a share. The next question comes

from Pauline Arrowhead with Green State please go ahead good afternoon my
question is about acquisitions and so while acquisitions are shaped really by what comes to market if you had full discretion would you cap your exposure to new secondary or tertiary markets or are you truly taking a fully market diagnostic approach, assuming property quality meets your standards.
It depends on how much supply is available, because that's a really important point. The acquisitions get lumpy. We are so completely committed to the plan that we talked about last year, which is a combination of the new markets that we talked about. And I think you've seen our buy box of what markets effectively apply to that. And, you know, it's a million people in a marketplace and very affluent, all of the stuff that we talked about. But, yes, I would be the agnostic to whether we find those assets in those places or in our existing market set that we have, because real estate is local and it really comes down to the sub-market. And so to the extent we find those opportunities in places that we know inside now, and we're looking at some right now, frankly, that are adjacent to our existing assets, love that kind of stuff. In addition to the new markets that fit the buy box, yes, we're agnostic as to which of those opportunities come to fruition.

Once again, if you have a question, please press star, then one. The next question comes from Mike Mueller with JPMorgan. Please go ahead.
Yeah, hi. I think you mentioned you had another $400 million to $500 million of non-peripheral residential left that you can sell to fund acquisitions. And it seems like the acquisition opportunity is greater than that. So what's next on the pecking order after those remaining resi assets?
Oh, no question. And it's not even next. It's in conjunction with Michael. it would be those assets, retail assets, where we've done all we can. And to the extent we've done all we can, and we can get a strong price for those retail assets, we'll use those to recycle into better growth opportunities. So having the opportunity to have both resi and strong assets, strong retail assets that have limited growth opportunities, all of those things are considered. So it's not using up the resi and then moving to those. It's a combination based on market conditions and where we think we can effectively get paid
best for. So you should see a combination of both as we move forward. This concludes our
