 developing, operating, or selling sustainable premier office and studio properties and related services businesses. Beyond industry expertise, we leverage our executives’ in-depth local and regional knowledge, which we believe furthers our ability to execute and unlock value within our high-barrier-to-entry markets. 

•Long-Standing Relationships and Strategic Partnerships. We have an extensive network of long-standing relationships with leading institutional and individual real estate owners/developers, international and regional lenders, bankers, brokers, tenants and other participants across our industries and markets. These relationships provide us with optionality and access to unique and attractive value creation opportunities, whether through investment transactions, leasing activities, or asset-level or corporate (re)financings. 

•Proactive Balance Sheet Management. We prioritize having a strong, flexible balance sheet with multiple avenues to access capital through market cycles from both secured and unsecured financings. We seek to prudently allocate capital to achieve growth while maintaining conservative leverage. We are willing to consider accessing equity markets to fund attractive investment opportunities. We have the discipline to work consistently to achieve long-term leverage targets while ensuring optionality for future growth. 

•Leadership in Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability. Through our Better BlueprintTM program, the Company is an established industry leader in corporate responsibility and sustainability. We have received accolades from the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB), the National Associate of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), and the National Association of Office Properties (NAIOP), ENERGY STAR among many others. Our priorities in this area focus on initiatives that are relevant for our industry and drive business value, providing a key point of differentiation for those who invest, partner, lease, or work with or for us. 

Competition

We compete with a number of developers, owners and operators of office and studio real estate, many of which own properties similar to ours in the same markets and some of which have greater financial resources than we do. In operating and managing our portfolio, we compete for tenants based on a number of factors, including location, rental rates, security, flexibility and expertise to design space to meet prospective tenants’ needs and the manner in which our properties are operated, maintained and marketed. As leases at our properties expire, we may encounter significant competition to renew or re-let space in light of competing properties within the markets in which we operate. As a result, we may be required to provide rent concessions or abatements, incur charges for tenant improvements and other inducements, including early termination rights or below-market renewal
