Over the past several months, we have taken significant steps to position us to maximize shareholder value, having assembled a first-class executive team, streamlined our operating platform and identified a path to unlock value within our high-quality portfolio. We have also moved our headquarters to New York City, which we believe allows us enhanced access to our tenant, investor and banking partners. While we continue to focus on the execution of our long-term strategic plan, today we celebrate the efforts of our entire team,” stated Mr. Harper.
