CEO Commentary
We are off to an exceptional start in 2026. Revenue surged 21.6% year-over-year and NOI expanded 28.6%, underscoring the powerful earnings trajectory of our regional logistics platform as recently stabilized and acquired assets begin to fully ramp.
Just as importantly, this growth was powered by the strength of our underlying portfolio - not portfolio expansion alone. Same-Property Cash NOI climbed 10.9%, average rent per square foot rose 9.8%, and stabilized occupancy held at a full 100.0% across our operating portfolio. These results showcase the exceptional quality of our Class A logistics assets, the depth and durability of demand from global and regional tenants, and the significant pricing power we command with modern, well-located facilities in markets that remain structurally underserved. They also underscore the operating leverage materializing in our platform: NOI outpaced revenue growth for yet another quarter.
Equally notable, we delivered this performance against a backdrop of continued macroeconomic and political volatility across our markets and globally, including an unforeseen one-time emergency tax in
Against this backdrop, we remain laser-focused on disciplined capital allocation, proactive asset management, and long-term value creation as a fully integrated, internally managed logistics and industrial real estate company. Our execution is deliberate, and our strategy is built to compound value through cycles. With roughly 92% of our development pipeline already pre-leased, meaningful embedded rent growth potential, and a fully occupied operating portfolio, LPA is exceptionally well positioned to accelerate its expansion, scale its regional footprint, and further compound its earnings power. We are not just growing - we are strengthening our position as the only truly cross-border, diversified logistics partner for leading companies expanding across the
Quarter after quarter, we are delivering on our vision: bridging local insight with global impact.
