"Our irreplaceable portfolio combined with our tenants' need for well-located industrial space close to the end consumer drove same property NOI growth of 6.8% on a GAAP basis and 8.2% on a cash basis. We continue to maintain a best-in-class, low leverage balance sheet profile, completing the quarter with 13% net debt-to-enterprise value. Looking forward, we are excited at our favorable prospects to create shareholder value through the execution of our internal and external growth capabilities."
