Quoting Management:James R. Heistand, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parkway, commented, “The fourth quarter was a continuation of the momentum Parkway has achieved over the past year as we enhance our portfolio and unlock its embeded value. We completed another strong leasing quarter and continue to implement operating efficiencies, resulting in a 230 basis point increase in our NOI margin compared to last year. We continue to execute on our balanced investment strategy. Since the beginning of the fourth quarter, we have announced or completed $546 million of core, core-plus and value-add acquisitions in targeted, high-growth submarkets. With a more concentrated geographic footprint, a higher-quality portfolio, limited near-term rollover exposure, and demonstrated access to capital, we believe that Parkway is well-positioned to be the leading owner of quality office assets in our key submarkets.”
