BDN Brandywine Realty Trust

Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE: BDN) today announced strong leasing activity across its portfolio, reflecting sustained demand for high-quality office, and mixed-use spaces.

Since last quarter and through today, the Company has executed 650,000 square feet of leasing activity throughout its portfolio, underscoring the strength of Brandywine’s core portfolio while demonstrating continued progress executing leases within its development pipeline. The fourth quarter leasing activity was the highest in 2024 and 18% higher than the fourth quarter of 2023. The weighted average lease term for the quarter was 9.4 years with total leasing activity for 2024 at 2.2 million square feet.

Brandywine’s core portfolio remains a solid foundation for the company, with over 82% of new leasing activity coming from tenants, moving to higher quality space. In addition to robust leasing within our existing assets we continue to make leasing progress within our development projects, reinforcing the long-term value of its mixed-use strategy. These larger tenant requirements are now targeting 2026 occupancy which will likely result in the commercial development projects stabilizing during 2026.

“We are pleased with the continued leasing momentum across our portfolio, which reflects both the strength of our high-quality assets and the appeal of our dynamic, mixed-use developments,” said Jerry Sweeney, President and CEO of Brandywine Realty Trust. “Our core portfolio remains the foundation of our business. While stabilization of our commercial projects are now anticipated in 2026, the leasing momentum we’re seeing reaffirms the desirability of our projects and the long-term value creation prospects of our investments. Our strategy of curating mixed-use environments positions us to capture future growth as the office market continues to stabilize.”
