Conferencia de resultados del T3 de 2026 de Gladstone Commercial (GOOD): El FFO se mantiene en $0.35, la ocupación alcanza el 99.3%

Conclusiones clave

• Gladstone Commercial Corporation (NASDAQ: GOOD) anunció un FFO y un FFO subyacente de 0,35 dólares por acción diluida en el tercer trimestre de 2026, sin cambios con respecto al tercer trimestre de 2025.
• Los ingresos operativos totales aumentaron a 42,4 millones de dólares en comparación con los 40,8 millones del año anterior, impulsados por el crecimiento de la cartera, mayores ingresos por recuperación de gastos y un incremento en las tarifas de alquiler.
• La ocupación de la cartera alcanzó el 99,3% al 30 de septiembre de 2026, frente al 98,7% del trimestre anterior. El plazo medio ponderado restante de los arrendamientos fue de 7,1 años y el cobro de alquileres en efectivo alcanzó el 100%.
• Las propiedades industriales representaron el 69% de las rentas lineales anualizadas, acercándose al objetivo a corto plazo de la dirección de situarse en al menos el 70%.
• La empresa adquirió una propiedad industrial de 146.650 pies cuadrados en Red Bud, Illinois, por 6,55 millones de dólares. El inmueble estaba arrendado a Ultra Play Systems y le quedaban más de ocho años de contrato en el momento de la adquisición.
• La dirección está evaluando aproximadamente 15 oportunidades de adquisición que suman más de 200 millones de dólares, pero señaló que el aumento de las tasas de interés, las pretensiones de precio de los vendedores y la menor calidad crediticia en algunas operaciones de sale-leaseback han limitado las inversiones adecuadas.

Datos financieros clave

El aumento de los gastos operativos del tercer trimestre reflejó la depreciación de una cartera de mayor tamaño, el pago parcial de una comisión de incentivo y un cargo por deterioro en la propiedad de oficinas de Lake Mary, Florida.

Desempeño operativo y del negocio

Durante el trimestre, Gladstone Commercial renovó o arrendó más de 137.300 pies cuadrados de espacio de oficinas y 365.200 pies cuadrados de espacio industrial flexible. Estas transacciones incrementaron la renta lineal anual en aproximadamente 2,5 millones de dólares.

Tras el cierre del trimestre, la empresa renovó o arrendó 453.234 pies cuadrados de espacio industrial y 67.287 pies cuadrados de espacio de oficinas, lo que aumentó la renta lineal anual en 2,89 millones de dólares.

La dirección sigue priorizando los activos industriales de misión crítica al tiempo que invierte selectivamente en propiedades de oficinas existentes. La empresa no prevé ampliar su cartera de oficinas, pero la directiva afirmó que las inversiones de capital orientadas a objetivos específicos pueden generar un mayor rendimiento que la venta de activos en las condiciones actuales del mercado. Las decisiones de re-arrendamiento de oficinas se evalúan en función del periodo de recuperación, la tasa interna de retorno, el retorno de la inversión y las alternativas de venta.

La propiedad de oficinas de la empresa en Austin sigue siendo un foco clave de arrendamiento. Gladstone Commercial arrendó anteriormente 82.000 pies cuadrados de espacio desocupado, equivalente a aproximadamente el 25% del edificio. La dirección también se encuentra en conversaciones avanzadas con un inquilino existente que podría sumar aproximadamente 40.000 pies cuadrados.

Riesgos y aspectos a vigilar

Las tasas de interés aumentaron marcadamente durante el trimestre. La dirección señaló que el rendimiento del Tesoro de EE. UU. a 10 años cerró el periodo cerca del 5,3%, unos 87 puntos básicos más alto en tres meses. Los vendedores han tardado en ajustar los precios, lo que ha ampliado la brecha entre las expectativas de compradores y vendedores y ha reducido las oportunidades de adquisición cualificadas.

Gladstone Commercial contaba con vencimientos de préstamos por 7,4 millones de dólares en 2026 y 99,9 millones de dólares en 2027. La empresa tenía 59,47 millones de dólares pendientes de pago en su línea de crédito revolvente al cierre del trimestre. A la fecha de la teleconferencia, disponía de aproximadamente 7,7 millones de dólares en efectivo y 70,2 millones de dólares disponibles en su línea revolvente.

Al 30 de septiembre, el 47% de la deuda era a tasa fija, el 46% a tasa variable con cobertura y el 7% a tasa variable dispuesta de la línea revolvente. La tasa SOFR media efectiva fue del 3,9% y todos los préstamos bancarios a plazo vigentes contaban con cobertura hasta su vencimiento.

Se prevé que la ocupación caiga por debajo del 99% cuando General Motors deje la propiedad de Austin a finales de año. La dirección indicó que el edificio debería mantener una ocupación superior al 50% y seguir cubriendo sus gastos operativos. La empresa está evaluando nuevas actividades de arrendamiento frente a una posible venta.

El deterioro del valor de la oficina de Lake Mary reflejó una actividad de arrendamiento más lenta y la reducción de espacio prevista por parte de un inquilino. Se prevé que el inquilino conserve una parte sustancialmente menor del inmueble a partir de mediados de 2027.

Puntos destacados del turno de preguntas de los analistas

• Cartera de adquisiciones: La dirección está evaluando aproximadamente 15 oportunidades valoradas en más de 200 millones de dólares. Mantiene como objetivo tasas de capitalización iniciales cercanas al 7,5% y tasas de capitalización medias superiores al 9% para contratos con plazos que superen los 10 años, conservando al mismo tiempo los criterios de suscripción actuales.
• Estrategia de refinanciación: La empresa puede reembolsar inicialmente los próximos vencimientos hipotecarios recurriendo a su línea de crédito revolvente y buscar posteriormente financiación a más largo plazo mediante un préstamo a plazo o una colocación privada, en función de las tasas de interés.
• Venta de activos: La dirección está supervisando la demanda por parte de compradores que buscan permutas 1031 y depreciación acelerada, pero no tiene activos destinados activamente a la venta antes de fin de año. Se prevé coordinar las desinversiones con las adquisiciones para evitar que los fondos queden inactivos.
• Vencimientos de contratos en 2027: La dirección señaló que las renovaciones recientes redujeron el volumen de vencimientos preocupantes para 2027 de aproximadamente 12 millones de dólares a 8 millones de dólares. Espera que la exposición disminuya aún más a medida que avancen las conversaciones con los inquilinos, aunque la ocupación de la cartera podría caer temporalmente por debajo del 99%.
• Ritmo de beneficios del T4: La dirección no ofrece previsiones de resultados, pero indicó que no prevé partidas inusuales en la cuenta de pérdidas y ganancias que vayan a afectar de forma significativa a los resultados en un sentido u otro.

Greetings, and welcome to the Gladstone Commercial Corporation Third Quarter Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, David Gladstone. Thank you. You may begin.

David Gladstone

Well, thank you all for calling in. It was a nice introduction. Thank you all for being part of our call. It's obviously early in the morning on the West Coast. So we're going to keep our time at 8:30.

Okay. At this time, we have you on the phone to talk with you. We're glad to talk with you, and I'm going to turn you over to Catherine Gerkis, she's Director of Investor Relations. And she's going to provide a brief disclosure regarding certain regulatory matters concerning this call and the report that we've given today. Catherine, good morning, come on.

Catherine Gerkis

Thank you, David, and good morning. Today's call may include forward-looking statements, which are based on management's estimates, assumptions and projections. There are no guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements due to various uncertainties, including the risk factors set forth in our SEC filings, which you can find on the Investors page of our website, gladstonecommercial.com.

We assume no obligation to update any of these statements unless required by law. Please visit our website for a copy of our Form 10-Q and earnings press release for more detailed information. You can also sign up for our e-mail notification service and find information on how to contact our Investor Relations department. We are also on X at Gladstone Comp as well as Facebook and LinkedIn. Keyword for both is the Gladstone Company.

Today, we'll discuss FFO, which is funds from operations, a non-GAAP accounting term defined as net income, excluding the gains or losses from the sale of real estate and any impairment losses on property plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. We may also discuss core FFO, which is generally FFO adjusted for certain other nonrecurring revenues and expenses. We believe these metrics can be a better indication of our operating results and allow better comparability of our period-over-period performance. Now let's turn the call over to Buzz Cooper, Gladstone Commercial's CEO and President.

Arthur Cooper

Thank you, Catherine, and thank you all for joining today's call. We are pleased to update you on our results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, our current portfolio and our future outlook. Before I turn to our results, I'll comment briefly on the market. Starting with the broader market, industrial conditions were a bit of a mixed bag during the quarter. On the one hand, industrial occupancy continues to strengthen, which we have observed within our own portfolio as well. According to Cushman & Wakefield, net absorption was 76.6 million square feet, the strongest quarter since early 2023 and the second quarter in a row above 70 million. Year-to-date, net absorption is 203 million square feet, up 69% from the same period last year. National vacancy declined to 6.8%, down 20 basis points from its late 2025 peak and asking rents rose 4% year-over-year. Manufacturers were the second most active tenant group behind 3PLs, making up more than 1/4 of leasing volume this year and indicating continued demand for similar assets, which we have in our portfolio. Demand remains concentrated in modern, large format buildings supporting onshoring, nearshoring and ongoing supply chain optimization. Cushman notes it has now started to spill over into older buildings as space in newer buildings has become more scarce.

New deliveries are 13% below last year's pace. The development pipeline is growing, up 23% from a year ago, but about 35% of it is build-to-suit, which keeps speculative supply in check. That strength means continued competition for assets of all sizes, particularly those that are well located and mission-critical. On the other hand, rates moved sharply higher in the quarter. The Fed raised rates in September for the first time since 2023, and the 10-year Treasury ended the quarter at about 5.3%, up roughly 87 basis points in the 3 months to the highest level since 2007. Sellers have been slow to adjust their pricing, so the gap between what they ask and what buyers are willing to pay is wide. Thus, fewer acquisition opportunities are meeting our criteria.

Turning to our results during the quarter. We acquired 146,650 square foot industrial property in Red Bud, Illinois leased to Ultra Play Systems for $6.55 million. Term at the time of the acquisition was 8-plus years. With respect to our existing portfolio, we renewed or leased over 137,300 square feet of office and over 365,200 square feet of flex industrial with an increase in straight-line rent of approximately $2.5 million annually. We also collected 100% of cash-based rents in the period. Positively, subsequent to the end of the quarter, we renewed or leased 453,234 square feet of industrial and 67,287 square feet of office with an increase in straight-line rent of $2.89 million annually. As we shared last quarter, we leased 82,000 square feet of vacant space in our Austin office property. This approximates to probably 25% of the building, and we continue to work on leasing the rest. As it relates to the Austin property and others within our portfolio, we acknowledge that office leasing and re-leasing requires CapEx dollars. When office buildings are as mission-critical and well located as those within our portfolio, we are able to maximize those dollars so as to receive an accretive return on our investment. When we evaluate any office re-leasing, we review payback period, IRR and ROI as well as alternative to selling the property. We acknowledge that the returns are generally not as attractive to us as industrial properties, but they keep a constant stream of cash flow for our shareholders. We are not looking to grow our office portfolio, but until capital markets return fully, capital expenditures are typically more accretive and revenue generating than choosing to sell the asset. Again, we evaluate each opportunity on a case-by-case basis although we look to have a targeted payback period of between 6 and 9 months.

Through the efforts of our asset management team, as of September 30, 2026, our portfolio was 99.3% occupied, up from 98.7% last quarter with a 7.1-year average remaining lease term. As of quarter end, the industrial portfolio represented 69% of our annualized straight-line rent, and we continue working toward our near-term goal of 70% -- each of these milestones is a testament to mission-critical nature of the assets in our portfolio, the quality of tenant credits in our portfolio and our underwriting capabilities. Our playbook will continue as it has to grow our industrial concentration, adding value on our existing portfolio through renewals, extensions, and strategic capital investments and disposing of non-core assets and strategically redeploying those proceeds into quality industrial assets. By continuing to execute on these focus areas over the long term, again, we will increase our WALT, maintain our strong occupancy rates, grow straight-line rent across the portfolio and decrease cost of capital.

Looking ahead to the last quarter of 2026, we remain focused on evaluating opportunities to acquire high-quality industrial assets that are mission-critical to tenants and accretive to our long-term strategy. We are working toward our near-term goal again of 70% plus industrial annualized straight-line rent. While we do not have a time line for the disposition of our office portfolio, we are keenly focused on growing the industrial concentration. At the same time, we will continue to work with our existing tenants to extend leases, capture mark-to-market opportunities and support tenant growth through targeted expansions, capital improvement initiatives, and we are looking at build-to-suit opportunities.

We remain aware of the challenging office environment. We will be strategic and intentional in evaluating our specific portfolio, seeking opportune times to dispose of office and non-core industrial as part of our continued capital recycling efforts. With the availability of our increased line of credit, access to private placement bond market and cash on hand, we have some ability at our ATM, and we are positioned to deploy capital into accretive industrial acquisitions and portfolio improvements. In closing, the team executed well, and we are focused on continuing the momentum through the remainder of 2026 and into '27.

I'll now turn the call over to Gary Gerson, our CFO, to review our financial results for quarter and liquidity position. Gary?

Gary Gerson

Thank you, Buzz. I'll start my remarks regarding our financial results this morning by reviewing our operating results for the third quarter of 2026. All per share numbers referenced are based on fully diluted weighted average common shares. FFO and core FFO per share available to common stockholders both $0.35 per share for the quarter. FFO and core FFO available to common stockholders during the same period in 2025 were both $0.35 per share. FFO and core FFO per share for the 9 months ended September 30, 2026, were both $1.07 per share. FFO and core FFO for the same period in 2025 were $1.02 and $1.03 per share, respectively. Same-store lease revenue increased by 0.2% in the 9 months ended September 30, 2026, over the same period in 2025 due to an increase in recovery revenue from property expenses and an increase in [ rental ] rates from leasing activity subsequent to the 9 months ended September 30, 2025.

Our third quarter results reflected total operating revenues of $42.4 million and operating expenses of $32.9 million as compared to operating revenues of $40.8 million and operating expenses of $26 million for the same period in 2025. Operating revenues were higher in 2026 due to an increase in portfolio size, increased recovery revenues and higher rental rates. Expenses were higher in the third quarter of 2026 versus the same period in 2025, mainly due to higher depreciation from a larger portfolio, the partial payment of a part of an incentive fee and the impairment charge on our Lake Mary, Florida, office property in the third quarter of 2026. At the end of the quarter, we had no properties held for sale. As of today, we have $7.4 million of loan maturities in 2026 and $99.9 million of loan maturities in 2027. As of the end of the quarter, we had $59.47 million in revolver borrowings outstanding.

Looking at our debt profile, as of September 30, 47% was fixed rate, 46% was hedged floating rate and 7% was floating rate, which is the amount drawn on the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, our effective average SOFR was 3.9%. Our outstanding bank term loans are all hedged to maturity with interest rate swaps. We continue to monitor interest rates closely and update our hedging strategy as needed. During the 9 months ended September 30, 2026, we sold 168,868 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $2.2 million under our ATM. We continue to manage our equity activity to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity for upcoming capital requirements and new acquisitions. As of today, we have approximately $7.7 million in cash and $70.2 million availability under our line of credit. We encourage you to review our quarterly financial supplement posted on our website, which provides more detailed financial and portfolio information for the quarter. Our common stock dividend is $0.30 per quarter, $0.10 per month or $1.20 per year. And now I'll turn the program back to David.

David Gladstone

Okay. That was a good report, Gary, and good ones from Buzz and Catherine. The team has performed very well. Overall, a very nice quarter, I would say. During the quarter, we acquired 146,000 square foot industrial property in Red Bud, Illinois. Yes, that is the same. The city is Red Bud. I didn't know that before. We renewed or leased 137,000 square foot office and over 365,000 square feet of flex industrial with the increase in straight-line rent to $2.5 million.

Gladstone team is growing the real estate that they have. Remember, we're in the industrial side mostly. Our team is strong professionals continue to pursue potential quality properties on the list of acquisition. They're reviewing our acquisition team is reviewing and seeking strong credit tenants. So I'm going to stop here and for the quarter, we can have some questions from the people who have called in and we will go from there. Operator, we can come in and tell them about how they can ask a question.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from the line of Gaurav Mehta with Alliance Global Partners.

Preguntas y respuestas

Gaurav Mehta

I wanted to ask if you could comment on the acquisition pipeline. What are you guys seeing in the market and maybe some comments on the cap rates?

Arthur Cooper

Sure, Gaurav. Obviously, the pipeline, as we have heard from our competitors as well, it is very competitive from the standpoint of acquisitions. With the rise in interest rates, we have seen a little pullback as it relates to opportunities. We also have seen a little deterioration in the credit, not that we have booked, but as we analyze, obviously, people go and use sale-leasebacks as a financing form. So the market is still robust, very competitive. But at this point in time, we are not seeing the type and quality of assets that we want to put on our books at the moment.

We've got about 15 opportunities within our pipeline that we're reviewing for a combined total of over $200 million. And obviously, of that, we hope that some will meet our criteria. But as I stated before, we're not going to lower our underwriting standards. And we need to look for cap rates going in the door of about 7.5% and average cap over the term of the lease of 10-plus years north of 9%.

Gaurav Mehta

Second question I have on the balance sheet. Can you maybe comment on the interest rates on the debt that is maturing in 4Q and next year and where do you expect to refinance that debt?

Arthur Cooper

I'll start, and I'll let Jay Beckhorn, our Treasurer, continue. I mean we have -- as we've said, we've got about almost $100 million of mortgage debt coming due. And we are -- we have enough availability on our line to take that all down, but that's -- that will be a temporary measure. Jay, some of our alternatives?

Jay Beckhorn

Yes. As Gary said, we can take it down using the revolving line of credit, and then we'll look at how to put something out there more permanently, whether it be term loan or private placement, depends on the interest rates. But we're looking at those alternatives actively. And I guess for Q1, we've got about half that exposure is maturing and then the rest of the balances over the other half.

And as we repay those loans, given the amortization and the way our credit facility works, as we add those to the credit facility, they actually increase our availability.

Operator

Our next question comes from the line of Rob Stevenson with Huntington.

Robert Stevenson

Buzz, taking the sort of opposite side of the transaction question, hearing a lot about significant demand from 1031 and especially bonus depreciation buyers heading into year-end. Is there an opportunity here for you guys to take advantage of that and sell some of the non-core assets here in fourth quarter and improve the portfolio that way?

Arthur Cooper

Certainly, Rob, we take a look at that and we track that because, of course, we want to take advantage where we can. We don't have anything at the moment that we are looking to dispose of toward the end of the year, but we -- our team out in the field, both asset managers as well as our producers from the standpoint of new originations certainly have that in mind, but there's nothing I can tell you today that we're looking to flip out before the end of the year.

Robert Stevenson

Okay. And then when you look at the portfolio at 99.3% occupancy today, factor in upcoming lease expirations as well as tenants that might be having some financial issues. Is there anything on the horizon that pulls that occupancy back below 99%? Or is this where you expect to be across the portfolio for the foreseeable future?

Arthur Cooper

As it relates to tenants and their quality and credit, we're very proud of, obviously, the collections that we have, 100% paying as agreed, both office and industrial, obviously, other than the vacancy. As it relates to their quality, we have not seen a severe deterioration. Certainly, we look at it on a quarterly basis. We haven't had anybody ask for relief. And then as it relates to your question on the maturities, we are currently in discussions and our biggest asset, as you know, office concern is down in Texas. We are actually talking to an existing tenant looking to increase their occupancy within the building by another approximately 40,000 square feet and believe that, that will occur hopefully in the early part of the first quarter. We do know GM rolls out. Within that building, however, that leaves us at over 50% occupancy. It also covers all expenses within the property, so we don't have a burn. And we're evaluating whether we -- and we will continue to look to increase occupancy in it or do we, at that point in time, look at perhaps a sale. So we are trying to maximize that building value and are continuing to evaluate that. And as it relates to our overall vacancy specific to 2027, we have eight properties. However, within that, in subsequent issues within the quarter, three were renewed at the end of the third quarter for a plus up of approximately $2.8 million. So that took those of concern from $12 million down to $8 million. And into that 8, all have been in contact. We are in discussions with many of them. One, I believe, is a lease out and fortunately, for a large office building. So I feel confident that what currently would be going into 2027 of 5%, that that's going to drop in a very short period of time down to 2.66% as it relates to 2027 figures. So your question, will it go below 99% -- it will. But we're going to work hard to get it back up, but I still would submit it's a very strong number.

Robert Stevenson

Okay. And then last one for me. Gary, the NAREIT and core FFO was the same in the third quarter. Anything hitting the income statement in fourth quarter that would impact positively or negatively the run rate heading into the year-end and into the beginning of '27?

Arthur Cooper

Don't see -- Rob, I don't see anything out of the ordinary coming out. So we don't give forward guidance, but that's pretty much the best I can do. I don't think there's going to be anything that would do anything significant either way.

David Gladstone

Next question.

Operator

Our next question comes from the line of Dave Storms with Stonegate.

David Storms

I want to actually want to circle back to the comment around the plus up of, I believe, it was $2.8 million on the three that you worked on in the quarter. Is that -- and I understand that the conversations are ongoing. Is that typical of the conversations that you're having? Or is there anything unusual there? Just trying to think of how we should think of any renewals.

Arthur Cooper

There's nothing unusual to it from the standpoint of leases that are coming due that have been on books for a period of time. As we know within the marketplace, especially industrial, there has been rental rate increases. And so I wish we had more that I could point to they're saying are down the line coming. We do have some renewals that are coming. There will be plus ups, but I can't tell you, Dave, that, that is going to happen with that nice dollar amount here in the next quarter. It's a function of when the rolling and when they were put on the books.

David Storms

Understood. I just want to make sure there wasn't -- can I also maybe just ask one more. You mentioned earlier that you have nothing in your pipeline that you're maybe too actively looking to dispose of. Just curious, is that maybe a product of not being as much on the acquisition side, so it may be a little more challenging to reallocate those funds? Is it just a widening of the bid-ask spreads? Or is it the comfortability with the portfolio right around that 70% for office? Just maybe any more information there would be helpful.

Arthur Cooper

Sure. And we do look at our dispositions, and we look out looking out into '27, '28. Yes, we do want to match up what we can with acquisitions with dispositions so that, that cash doesn't sit idly by that we are putting it to work. So it is a function also as we do come here toward the end of the year and especially now with inflation with what we, from both the war and where we are from an economic standpoint for the country, we've seen a pullback of opportunities where we are looking at potential opportunities would be on the development and construction and origination of sale leasebacks with the developer at the point in time. But that is not going to happen immediately, but we are looking at that deeply.

Operator

Our next question comes from the line of John Massocca with B. Riley Securities.

John Massocca

Maybe just to go back to my question around the -- your comments around the investment pipeline. Is -- how kind of wide are you seeing that kind of buyer/seller disconnect? Is there more opportunity in the sale-leaseback side or sale-leaseback potentially counterparties a little more agnostic around cap rate pricing? And I guess, long-winded way of kind of asking, we saw kind of a reversal in the interest rate moves we've seen over the last, call it, 3 months. I mean, could that cap rate differential between you and third-party sellers kind of narrow quickly? Or do you think there's going to be a period of just kind of rediscovery as to where pricing is?

Arthur Cooper

I would say a little bit of rediscovery, John. We did see a pullback, of course, because of the uncertainty, both of inflation and the very rapid rise over 5% on the interest rates. And heading here into the holidays at the end of the year, we generally do see obviously a slowdown. And then once the allocations, if you will, that come out going into the new year, I believe we'll see an absolute uptick both of third-party transactions, but also sale-leaseback and originations.

John Massocca

And I guess maybe just to put it pretty simply, I mean, were you seeing deals in the pipeline in August and just counterparties don't want to budge on price? Or is it like deals actually completely falling out?

Arthur Cooper

No, I would say repricing. And again, I think the disconnection as it relates to on the purchase side. So we did not retrade, but I know there's been retrading going on in the marketplace. And I think that helped create a little pullback.

John Massocca

Okay. And then going back to the Austin asset, I mean, is it kind of fair at this point to assume we're going to have a meaningful period of 2027, where that 3% of ABR essentially goes away? I know you have another tenant in the building might take some space. I guess, how quickly would that rent come on from a cash basis? If you can provide any color there. But just is it fair to kind of assume that you're losing that ABR for a period of time? And I guess, how quickly at this point do you think you can backfill the remainder of the space or a significant portion of the space in that Texas office asset?

Arthur Cooper

As you, I'm sure, are aware, there has been an uptick of activity in Austin specifically. And we have seen that within our building and with the tours and requests for RFPs that we have looked at. Yes, we're going to see a downtick here as it relates to GM, which does leave here at the end of the year. And of their space, again, we are in deep discussions on adding another 40,000, again, accretive in nature as it relates to the cash flow within the building. And we are working hard to fill it all, but it's taking time, but the activity in Austin has increased in the last 4 months greatly.

John Massocca

And then the impairment on the office asset in -- I think you said Lake Mary, Florida. What drove that? Is that just market comparability? I thought I remember that lease being a couple more years left on it. Just kind of curious why the impairment for that asset.

Gary Gerson

Just the change in the lease velocity in that area and really where we are with leasing on that building is what drove us to impair it.

John Massocca

But the tenant is still in there for a couple more years, correct?

Gary Gerson

We have a tenant in there. That tenant will be in there for -- through the middle of next year, and then we have some additional tenancy potentially going forward. But -- it's just going to -- they're going to downsize the amount that they have. So the tenant will be in there longer, but in the majority of the building, they're going to downsize into a significantly smaller portion of it.

Operator

And we have reached the end of the question-and-answer session. Therefore, I'll now turn the call back over to David Gladstone for closing remarks.

David Gladstone

Oh, shucks. We didn't get enough questions this time. We like questions, so we'd be happy if you'll save up some for next meeting, and we'll see you next quarter. That's the end of this call.

Operator

Thank you. And this concludes today's conference, and you may disconnect your lines at this time. We thank you for your participation.
