Letter to Investors
Dear Streitwise Investors -
I wanted to provide an end-of-year update on our portfolio and the market since we did not reach the required number of votes needed to hold our annual meeting this year.
The Portfolio
Our four office buildings remain well-leased at 92%. We have tenants paying below-market rent in Carmel, but we likely won't be able to reset those rents for a number of years as our largest tenants there - MJ Companies and Allied - do not have lease expirations until 2029 and 2030, respectively. That, in addition to the capital expenditures we disclosed in early 2025, including parking structure repair work, have limited our ability to pay higher dividends.
We have three property-level loans across the portfolio - one maturing in 2027 (St. Louis properties) and two in 2029 (Carmel properties). We are considering refinancing the 2027 maturity early as we believe the office lending environment has improved and rates are more attractive now than they have been the last few years. We are fairly low leveraged, so we'd expect any refinance to be at least cash-neutral.
Leasing momentum is strong in Carmel where our buildings are 100% occupied. Leasing is fair in St. Louis, where our buildings are 83% leased. Our biggest near-term lease exposure in St. Louis is New Balance which expires in 2028. We have softly engaged New Balance in extension discussions in anticipation of this lease expiration. We're less concerned about the large expirations in Carmel in 2029 and 2030 as those tenants are paying well-below-market rents.
The Market
The St. Louis office market continues to move sideways (with little increase or decrease in occupancy or rental rates). Our St. Louis properties are located in the South County submarket, which is strong relative to the rest of the MSA, with only 9% vacancy according to CBRE1. We are seeing decent demand from smaller users (2,000 - 6,000 square feet), but limited demand from larger users (>10,000 square feet). Fortunately, our buildings cater mostly to smaller users with the exception of New Balance, which occupies ~31,000 square feet. According to CBRE1, there is no new office supply in the South County pipeline.
The Carmel office market is quite healthy with only 3% vacancy according to Colliers2. The limited supply has led to increased rents in the last few years, which has contributed to our portfolio having below-market rent. There is hardly any new construction contemplated in the area with only a build-to-suit office building currently being built in Midtown Carmel for a local bank, and a mixed-use project that has been proposed but has not yet begun construction.
2026 Dividend Forecast
Heading into 2026, we continue to remain conservative in our approach to dividends to ensure we are meeting the REIT rule to distribute 90% of taxable income, as well as having enough liquidity to meet our operational needs. Therefore, we expect that our dividend will remain in the $0.03 - $0.05/share/quarter range for the coming year.
We appreciate your continued support and wish you a Happy New Year!
Jeffrey Karsh
CEO
