John Popeo, President and Chief Executive Officer of ILPT, made the following statement:
"During the second quarter, we continued our positive leasing activity, entering leases for approximately 218,000 square feet that resulted in weighted average rental rates that were approximately 34.5% higher than prior rental rates for the same space, and a weighted average lease term of more than 11 years. In addition, we executed one rent reset in Hawaii for approximately 34,000 square feet of land at a rental rate that was approximately 18.0% higher than the prior rate. Even though occupancy declined slightly to 99.1% as of the end of the quarter, same property cash basis net operating income increased by 3.3% during the quarter because of rent increases.
