- Nexus Industrial REIT (EFRTF) completed two new industrial developments, adding 440,000 square feet of GLA and generating $6.6 million of annual stabilized NOI.
- The REIT achieved a 9.4% unlevered return on development costs for the new projects.
- Strong leasing performance with nearly 150,000 square feet of renewals at an average rent lift of 13% and a 60% leasing spread year-to-date.
- The REIT successfully transitioned to a pure-play industrial REIT, with over 99% of NOI derived from industrial assets.

- Normalized AFFO per unit decreased from $0.157 to $0.146, impacted by lower NOI and increased general and administrative expenses.
- The REIT faced challenges in leasing a 150,000 square foot property in Hamilton, although progress is being made.
- A slight downward revision in guidance for 2025 same-property NOI growth due to slower lease-up in certain properties.
