SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Terreno Realty Corporation (NYSE:TRNO), an acquirer, owner and operator of industrial real estate in six major coastal U.S. markets, announced today its operating, investment and capital markets activity for the fourth quarter and full year of 2016.
Operations
As of December 31, 2016, Terreno Realty Corporation owned 166 buildings aggregating approximately 12.0 million square feet and five improved land parcels consisting of 22.8 acres. Key operating measures were as follows:
- The total portfolio was 97.4% leased to 376 tenants as compared to 96.4% at September 30, 2016 and 91.5% at December 31, 2015;
- The same store portfolio of approximately 8.6 million square feet was 99.0% leased at December 31, 2016 as compared to 97.9% at September 30, 2016 and 92.6% at December 31, 2015; and
- Cash rents on new and renewed leases totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet commencing during the fourth quarter increased approximately 29.0%, and approximately 1.8 million square feet commencing during the twelve months ending December 31, 2016 increased approximately 19.2%.
Occupancy increased from September 30, 2016 primarily due to the commencement of two leases for a total of 163,000 square feet in the Los Angeles market and an 85,000 square feet lease in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Fourth quarter occupancy gains were partially offset by approximately 125,000 square feet due to acquired vacancies.
