The Quick Take
- Rexford Industrial (REXR) completes largest-ever portfolio sale, raises FFO guidance for third straight quarter
- SL Green (SLG) beats leasing targets at 95% occupancy, raises per-share guidance $2+ despite rate headwind
- First Industrial (FR) lifts NAREIT FFO midpoint to $3.13/share; flags 2027 rent spread reset to ~16%
All three REITs topped their own guidance thresholds in Q3, reflecting resilient leasing demand even as higher-for-longer rates compress valuations. Occupancy holding above 94โ95% is giving management teams confidence to raise annual guidance.
โOccupancy holding above 94โ95% is giving management teams confidence to raise annual guidance.โ
The notable caveat is First Industrial's early flag on 2027 rent spreads resetting to ~16%, signalling that the post-pandemic rent-growth surge is moderating as new supply comes online in key logistics markets.
