Analysis · ARE · Real Estate & Construction
Real estate impairments of $637.9 million drove a $638.5 million net loss to common stockholders, or $3.74 per share, in the third quarter. The cash engine is shrinking too: same-property NOI fell 6.7% (2.8% on a cash basis) as occupancy slid to 87.1% from 90.9% at year-end 2025, and FFO as adjusted dropped to $1.54 per share from $2.22. Rather than raise equity, management is selling assets — the $475 million Campus Point partial interest sale closed in October, 421 Park Drive is under contract to sell in Q4, and 311 Arsenal Street was pivoted to lower-cost advanced technology use, together cutting future construction spend by roughly $356 million. Full-year FFO guidance was narrowed to $6.38-$6.42 with the midpoint unchanged, but the fixed-charge coverage target was cut 0.2x to 3.4x-3.9x, reflecting the $1 billion of 7.25% junior subordinated notes issued in August. For holders, the core question is whether the 1.4 million RSF of 2027 lease expirations with 9-24 months of expected downtime push occupancy and NOI lower again next year.
