 basis, as companies reduce or eliminate work from home policies. Leasing continues to be strongest in amenitized buildings that are new or renovated and that have great locations. City Office is well positioned to take advantage of the trends in the office market. Our properties are located predominantly in desirable Sun Belt markets, which have been outperforming. We have focused on premier properties and enhancing amenities to create desirable spaces for our tenants. This strategy has driven the Company’s solid operating results in 2024. During the year, the Company completed 806,000 square feet of new and renewal leasing. This led to an increase in the Company’s year-endoccupancy as compared to the prior year. The Company also completed or advanced significant renovations and enhancements at four of our properties. In 2024, the Company completed two property loan renewals and paid off a term loan at its expiration. As we head into 2025, we remain focused on positioning our properties to win leasing and drive cash flow over the long term. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we thank you for your ongoing support and investment in our Company.
