• Management increased the 2026 acquisition target to $850 million (from $750M) and says roughly $750M of that pipeline is already closed, under contract, or awarded, with ~22% of recent buys coming off-market.
• Balance sheet strength — Curbline reports >$700 million of immediate liquidity (cash plus unsettled equity proceeds) and a low leverage ratio (~20%), positioning it to fund growth.
• Operational momentum — Q1 same-property NOI rose ~4.8%, occupancy climbed to 96.3%, leasing activity was strong (145k+ sq ft; 71% national credit tenants), and CapEx remained low (~6.3% of quarterly NOI), underscoring capital efficiency.
• Near-term headwinds — management expects a meaningful Q2 slowdown in same-property NOI (≈300 bps drag) due to timing of prior-year recoverable CapEx and difficult uncollectible comparisons, plus higher interest expense (~$8.5M) and ~ $0.01/share dilution from forward offerings.
