"Before turning the call over, I want to provide a few comments on the Flower Mart project. As Jeffrey will touch on in a moment, we have revised our expense capitalization assumptions for Flower Mart to reflect continued capitalization through the fourth quarter of this year. As we previously stated, we are working with the City of San Francisco to redesign and reimagine the Flower Mart project while maintaining and building upon our current approvals. In addition to seeking flexibility to develop a broader mix of uses, we are also looking to amend the existing development agreement and create a special use district to provide relief from certain planning code requirements, the specifics of which are still under discussion."
This complex transaction was a long time in the making, requiring substantial effort and coordination across our platform, with our partner and with the project’s anchor tenant. 1900 Broadway, which is fully entitled for a 250 thousand square foot office project, is located just blocks from Kilroy Realty Corporation’s highly successful Crossing 900 asset, which has remained 100% leased since delivery in 2015. Over time, we have consistently captured meaningful rent growth at Crossing 900, releasing over 80 thousand square feet since 2023, with cash rent spreads up nearly 60%.

Concurrently with closing on the venture, we executed a 20-year lease with a top-tier global law firm for 145 thousand square feet, representing approximately 60% of the building, at the highest rates ever realized in the Kilroy Realty Corporation portfolio. Since closing, we have experienced strong inbound interest from a wide range of high-quality tenants, and we look forward to updating you on our progress as the project advances.

"**Eliott Trencher:** Thanks, Angela. Over the last several months, the capital markets have demonstrated continued momentum as buyers recognize the inflection in fundamentals and the positive impact AI is having on our market. As a result, transaction size is increasing and asset quality is improving. For example, the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco recently traded for $1.05 thousand per square foot, the first time an institutional property has eclipsed the $1 thousand a foot level in that market since 2022. Kilroy Realty Corporation continues to be an active seller, and during the quarter, we closed on $146 million comprised of the previously announced Kilroy Sabre Springs at $125 million and Del Mar Tech Center sold in March for $21 million."
The city, which has been a constructive and valued partner in this process, has suggested an alternative approach to analyzing and documenting the changes in the special use district, which we believe will ultimately increase our long-term flexibility and optionality, though the alternative approval process will take additional time. We now expect the process to be completed late in the fourth quarter and would assume that expense capitalization ceases at that time. We are highly convicted that the path we are pursuing at the Flower Mart will result in the best possible outcome for shareholders, and as always, we will continue to update you as the process unfolds.

In conclusion, I want to thank the entire Kilroy Realty Corporation team for an incredibly busy quarter across nearly every facet of our business. Your efforts are creating meaningful value for all of our stakeholders, and I am grateful for your continued energy and enthusiasm.

"As a reminder, in addition to the operating property sales, we have $165 million of land sales under contract, with roughly half expected to close late this year or early next year. We continue to evaluate additional opportunities to sell or repurpose non-strategic land. Turning to acquisitions, as Angela mentioned, we closed on a joint venture to develop 1900 Broadway, a 250 thousand square foot project in Downtown Redwood City that is already roughly 60% pre-leased. 1900 Broadway is adjacent to Downtown Redwood City’s restaurant row, making it one of the most walkable and amenitized properties in the area and worthy of premium rents."
Del Mar Tech Center is a 40 thousand square foot building in the Del Mar submarket of San Diego, and at the time of sale, the building was roughly 50% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of one year. We remain big believers in Del Mar Heights and are still the largest owner in the submarket, but selling this property made economic sense. Additionally, last week, we closed on the sale of our two residential towers in Hollywood for $[inaudible].

As many of you know, these towers were developed by Kilroy Realty Corporation as part of our Columbia Square and On Vine projects, and the layout of the campuses allows the residential to be separate and distinct from the neighboring office properties. We determined these buildings would be good sales candidates given the lack of synergies with the office as well as the depth of demand for high-quality apartments. Before bringing the properties to market, we spent time ensuring the operations and structure were optimized to facilitate a sale and maximize proceeds. The cap rate on all sales announced year to date averages in the mid-single digits.

Kilroy Realty Corporation was uniquely positioned to take advantage of this off-market opportunity given our deep market insight, strong local relationships, and proven development acumen. These factors gave our partner, Lane Partners, and our anchor tenant, Cooley, confidence in our ability to bring this deal together. We intend to break ground next year, and Cooley is expected to take occupancy in early 2030. The total anticipated cost for the project is $330 million to $350 million, of which our share will be 97% upon completion. Stabilized yields are expected to be in the low to mid-9% range.

With proceeds from our first quarter dispositions, we elected to opportunistically capitalize on recent capital markets volatility, repurchasing approximately $73 million of stock at an average price of $30.80 per share. And in April, we fully redeemed the $50 million tranche of private placement notes scheduled to mature in July. Looking forward, we will continue to explore opportunities to harvest attractively priced capital from our existing portfolio while exploring the full range of redeployment alternatives available to us. In last night’s release, we also announced the formation of a joint venture to develop a premier, substantially pre-leased Class A office asset in Downtown Redwood City, one of the strongest submarkets in the entire Kilroy Realty Corporation portfolio.

"KRC's capital allocation math doesn't reconcile; if buybacks are funded from operations rather than asset sales, leverage is rising into a refinancing wall."
Grok's math on leverage deserves scrutiny. $350M dispositions minus $330-350M development spend leaves ~$0-20M for buybacks—yet Claude cited $73M repurchased. Either dispositions exceeded guidance materially, or KRC is funding buybacks from operating cash flow while levering the balance sheet. If the latter, Grok's 6x debt/EBITDA is conservative. The refinancing cliff risk is real, but the immediate question is: what's the actual net debt trajectory post-Q1?

"Financing and cap-rate risk dominate the thesis; even 1900 Broadway's 60% pre-lease at low- to mid-9% is vulnerable if rates stay high, delaying stabilization and denting equity value."
Chop to the chase: the core risk isn’t AI demand durability but capital structure timing. Claude/Grok spotlight leverage, but the real stress test is refinancing risk in 2025-27 if rates stay elevated and cap rates compress further. The 1900 Broadway deal promises 'low-mid 9%' stabilized yields with 60% pre-lease, but dilution from additional project funding and potential higher cap rates could push stabilization beyond 2030, undercutting equity value.
