Key takeaways

  • Multifamily NOI rose 64% excluding JV properties, with occupancy improving 940 bps year-over-year to 89.6%, showing early signs of recovery in Oakland.
  • Office NOI declined by $600,000 year-over-year, impacted by a prior-year tax appeal benefit and vacancy remaining elevated outside of Oakland assets.
  • Hotel NOI dropped $700,000 due to renovation disruptions and mechanical issues temporarily reducing available rooms, though renovations are now mostly complete.
  • The company remains focused on refinancing debt maturities and selective asset sales but signaled a cautious outlook, which likely weighed on investor sentiment.
