COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Corporate Office Properties Trust (“COPT” or the “Company”) (NYSE: OFC) announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

Management Comments

Stephen E. Budorick, COPT’s President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our unique investment strategy of allocating capital to Defense/IT Locations that support priority missions at U.S. defense installations continues to produce strong results that are not correlated to traditional office fundamentals and distinguishes us from other office REITs. The 8% growth in FFO per share, as adjusted for comparability we generated in 2021 exceeded our previously elevated guidance and was driven by solid same-property cash NOI growth of 1.2% and strong lease achievement that included 616,000 square feet of vacancy leasing. Demand for our Defense/IT Locations drove 1.2 million square feet of development leasing, exceeding our goal by 18%. Our 1.7 million square foot pipeline of active development projects that are 96% leased will drive earnings growth this year and beyond.” He continued, “Our balance sheet is strong and inflation-protected. Since the third quarter 2020, we refinanced and issued $1.8 billion of new debt, equating to 150% of our then-existing senior notes, locking-in low rates for long durations. Additionally, the equity we harvested from the sale of DC-6 on January 25, 2022, strengthened our balance sheet and provided us with capital to fund our highly leased development pipeline and the next wave of value accretive development projects with the U.S. Government and defense contractors who support the priority missions our Defense/IT Locations serve.”
