• Multifamily performance is materially stronger—ex‑JV multifamily NOI increased 64% YoY, overall multifamily occupancy rose to 89.6% (up 940 bps) with Oakland at 91.9%, and management cited strong Bay Area rent growth as evidence of recovery.
• Management is pursuing targeted refinancing and asset actions (loan extensions at 1150 Clay and Oakland, potential larger/cheaper loan at the Sheraton Grand, selective asset sales and development options), but outcomes are not guaranteed and could affect near‑term cash flow.
