• Balance-sheet actions: The company has completed nine refinancings, retired its recourse credit facility, redeemed significant preferred stock into common shares and announced additional redemptions that management says will improve annual FFO by about $16 million and return capital structure to roughly 38% common / 7% preferred / 55% debt.
• Operating recovery: Portfolio operating trends are improving—office occupancy (ex‑Oakland) reached 88.5%, multifamily occupancy (ex‑Echo Park) rose to 88.5%, Oakland multifamily occupancy improved to 88.4%, and the Sheraton Grand Sacramento renovations are complete, positioning the hotel for stronger 2026 results.
• Liquidity from asset sale: The sale of the lending division closed for about $44.9 million (gross) and generated approximately $31.2 million of net cash proceeds, and management says it will continue to evaluate additional asset sales to enhance liquidity.
• Weak near-term earnings: Q4 results showed Core FFO of negative $5.9 million and FFO of negative $7.1 million, driven in part by a $3.5 million impairment on an Oakland development site and lower multifamily NOI from JV appraisal declines.
• Asset-level risk: Demand remains soft at the company’s Oakland office (only about $0.5 million cash flow after debt service in Q4) and the mortgage on that asset matures in Q3 2026 with no guaranteed extension, creating refinancing risk.
