Achieved both same-property revenue and net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 3.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. For the full-year 2025, same-property revenue and NOI grew 3.3% and 3.2%, respectively, both exceeding the midpoint of the Company’s original guidance range.




For the full-year 2025, the Company acquired seven apartment communities for a total contract price of $829.4 million and disposed of five apartment communities for a total pro rata contract price of $563.8 million.




For the full-year 2025, the Company received cash proceeds of $189.8 million from nine structured finance redemptions yielding a weighted average return rate of 9.8% and committed $21.3 million at pro rata share in an investment yielding a 13.5% return rate.
