Explanation of Changes
Occupancy increased for all Asset Types and Areas as a result of new tenants at the Ichigo Shibakoen Building, the Ichigo Omiya Building, the Ichigo Kumamoto Building, the Ichigo Hakata Building, and the Ichigo Burg Omori Building.
Value-Add Actions
Ichigo Office has been working towards a rapid lease-up of the Ichigo Gotanda Building in order to minimize downtime after a major tenant lease termination (1,920m2) in November 2017. To date, Ichigo Office has successfully leased up 85% of the vacant space at an average rent increase of 14.3%, having focused its leasing activities on retail tenants that would benefit from the building's prime location directly in front of Gotanda Station on the JR Yamanote Line.
Ichigo Office has a strategic focus on minimizing lease downtime in order to drive organic earnings growth, and will continue to work to drive higher earnings for shareholders through rapid re-tenanting at higher rents.
