The defining event of the quarter was the formation of a joint venture with Singapore's GIC to acquire Legacy West, a premier mixed-use asset in the Dallas MSA, for $785 million, with KRG's 52% share valued at $408 million; investors have shown notable appetite for high-quality retail deals of this scale despite a broadly uncertain economic backdrop. Operationally, blended comparable cash leasing spreads of 13.7% across 182 new and renewal leases spanning 844,000 square feet underscored healthy demand across the portfolio, while same-property NOI grew 3.1%. Management responded to the momentum by lifting full-year 2025 NAREIT FFO guidance to $2.04 to $2.10 per diluted share, up from $2.02 to $2.08, signaling confidence that the portfolio's $27.50 million in signed-not-open NOI will continue converting into recognized revenue.

Key Takeaways

  • Same Property NOI growth of 3.1% year-over-year
  • Total property NOI growth of 7.4% year-over-year
  • Blended comparable cash leasing spreads of 13.7% on 126 comparable leases
