Increased leased and occupied rates in Q4 drove our signed not occupied spread to 200 basis points, representing a contribution of an additional 27 million to our in-place portfolio.
Robust anchor demand, particularly in California, is fueling momentum. While we anticipate seasonal occupancy shifts in the first half of 2026, while anchors transition, most of these deals are already executed at higher rents, positioning us for improved occupancy levels by the end of the year.
Small shops remain a highlight at 93.8% lea, up 50 basis points, providing mark to market opportunities to drive rent growth while continuing to prune and tweak a premium merchandizing mix.
Leasing production from our expanded acquisition initiatives over the last few years continues to exceed expectations.
In 2025, we executed 49 deals, nearly 200,000 square feet at 34% increase from prior rents.
