Daniel Purpura's questions to Kite Realty Group Trust (KRG) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Daniel Purpura from Green Street Advisors, LLC asked about investor interest in larger community and power center assets and whether certain retailers cause hesitation for buyers. He also questioned if KRG's lower occupancy post-bankruptcies sets the stage for above-peer growth in 2026-2027.
Answer
CEO John Kite noted that demand for larger format centers is quite strong, citing the GIC joint venture as evidence of sophisticated investor interest. He believes KRG is positioned extremely well for growth over the next 2-3 years due to the leasing upside from its current occupancy, stating the team is comfortable with the pressure to deliver on that potential.
