New leases commenced in the period increased 29% y/y to 65.6 million square feet. Average occupancy fell 110 basis points y/y to 94.8%, but appears to have bottomed, remaining in line with the first two quarters of the year. (Occupancy was 95.3% to close the third quarter.)
“Our record leasing this quarter underscores the strength and resilience of our platform,” said Hamid Moghadam, Prologis co-founder and CEO, in a news release. “With a solid pipeline, improving customer sentiment and limited new supply, the logistics market is setting up for the next inflection in rent and occupancy growth — one of the most compelling setups I’ve seen in 40 years.”
Prologis (NYSE: PLD) slightly raised its full-year FFO guidance to a range of $5.78 to $5.81 per share, which was ahead of a consensus estimate of $5.77 at the time of the print.
The new outlook assumes average occupancy in a range of 94.75% to 95.25% (no change from the second quarter) and development starts between $2.75 billion and $3.25 billion (a $500-million increase at both ends of the range).
The company is expanding its data center portfolio. It currently has 5.2 gigawatts of utility-fed capacity installed or committed.
