Question
Anthony (AJ) Peak of KeyBanc Capital Markets questioned American Assets Trust about its same-store NOI guidance, the leasing pipeline for key development assets like La Jolla Commons 3 and 1 Beach, and recent leasing activity and demand at its Bellevue properties.
Answer
EVP & CFO Robert Barton and President & CEO Adam Wyll confirmed they are on track with guidance, noting office might outperform while the hotel segment underperforms. SVP of Office Properties Steve Center provided detailed updates, highlighting increased tour activity at 1 Beach driven by larger deal sizes, spec suite development, and upcoming amenities at La Jolla Commons III. Center also noted strong leasing progress in the challenging Bellevue submarket, attributing it to completed renovations and a proactive spec suite program.
