    CFO Heath Fear directed him to the new presentation in the supplemental, which provides a consolidated view of all unconsolidated JVs with individual line items.

    Hongliang Zhang's questions to Kite Realty Group Trust (KRG) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Hong Zhang asked if the mid-7s cap rate on recent dispositions is indicative of the current market and inquired about the expected trend for economic occupancy by year-end.

    Answer

    CEO John Kite confirmed that a mid-7s cap rate is a 'reasonable assumption' for the type of assets KRG is currently selling. CFO Heath Fear did not provide specific year-end occupancy guidance but noted it would likely dip due to tenant bankruptcies before recovering as backfills commence. COO Tom McGowan added that the pace of backfilling these spaces is strong.
