Armada Hoffler Properties Provides Update on Monthly Rent Collections
June Rent Collections Outpace May & April
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., June 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (NYSE: AHH) today provided an update on rent collections for the second quarter. As of June 19, the Company’s portfolio rent collections for June were already 87% compared to 85% for the full month of May and 84% for the full month of April.
Nearly 90% of the Company’s retail tenants are currently open or operating and the Company has agreed to terms or is in active negotiations with over 95% of commercial tenants seeking rent relief.
“As anticipated, the positive momentum that we experienced last month has carried over into June and our rent collections for the quarter continue to improve,” said Louis Haddad, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As of the middle of the month, virtually all of our office tenants have already paid June rent and, consistent with the previous two months, we expect to collect nearly all of our apartment rents by the end the month. Ultimately, we anticipate collecting over 90% of rents across the entire portfolio for June. Furthermore, we expect to post another solid quarter of construction profits as our third-party general contracting business continues its high rate of production. Assuming this positive trend continues through July and into August, at its next meeting our Board will discuss paying the third quarter dividend at an appropriate level.”
Monthly rent collections for the second quarter by tenant type and in the aggregate across the Company’s portfolio are presented in the below table:
