Whitestone REIT: Strong Leasing Trends But Limited Upside |
Whitestone owns 55 commercial properties in the high-growth Texas and Arizona markets, leasing primarily to non-discretionary and service-based tenants, supporting frequent lease renewals and higher rent escalations. Q1 revenue rose 2.2% YoY to $38 million, with strong leasing spreads due to shorter lease terms, despite a slight occupancy dip to 93%. Risks include geographic concentration, short-term leases leading to higher turnover, $102.3 million in unhedged floating rate debt, and heightened credit risk among some tenants. |
