“The Westwood team continues to deliver remarkable results in the second quarter through superior leasing and strong income growth throughout our portfolio,” stated Mark Bratt, Chief Executive Officer. “These are the highest leasing statistics in the Firm’s history along with achieving excellent same-store NOI growth of 6.3% year-over-year.” Given the recent volatility in the bond markets and the market sentiment of a recession on the horizon, Mr. Bratt comments that “Westwood is in a great position with a strong balance sheet that will enable us to take advantage of many opportunities over the next few quarters.” Furthermore, Mr. Bratt adds that Westwood “is well insulated in this environment given that the majority of the Firm’s debt remains fixed at sub-4% over the next 4 years.”

The Company closed one single tenant net lease property for Hilgard (Dollar General) and put another four properties under contract which should close in the third quarter.  

Mr. Bratt continued, “while macro-economic pressures persist, Westwood’s grocery-anchored portfolio remains resilient. We head into the second half of 2022 with cautious optimism and are focused on not only operating effectively and efficiently, but also only acquiring properties that meet our long term financial and return expectations.”
