Reaffirms strength, adds pipeline color.
Q&A largely reaffirmed prepared remarks on leasing strength and flat 2026 guidance, but added color on a 170,000 square foot pipeline for Q1/Q2 closes and Metro Center's mid-$60 million sale at a 7% cap rate. Management brushed off proposed 9.5% property tax hikes, AI tenant scares, and new mayor rhetoric as non-impacts on demand, while noting weak observatory rivals like the Edge. They confirmed leverage flexibility above 6x for deals and openness to recycle 250 West. Demand stays hot. Watch vacate timing and 130 Mercer lease-up.
