Why This Comparison Matters Now

Office fundamentals are shifting. REIT landlords and private institutional owners are not moving in lockstep.

The U.S. office sector has faced several years of demand disruption, tenant space rationalization, and rent pressure following hybrid work adoption. As conditions stabilize, a key question for investors and asset managers is whether publicly traded REIT ownership translates into measurable leasing outperformance. CompStak’s Portfolio Series scoring methodology puts that question directly to the data, comparing rent spread, concession strategy, lease term stability, tenant quality, and employment exposure side by side across both ownership groups.

What’s Inside

Six Metrics. One Clear Scorecard.

The full report scores each portfolio across in-place rent, mark-to-market spread, concessions, rent growth, lease term stability, tenant quality, and employment exposure.

💵
Finding 01
A Substantial In-Place Rent Premium

Nareit Office tenants pay materially higher average rents than tenants of all other landlords. The report shows exactly how much of that gap is explained by portfolio composition versus leasing execution.

📈
Finding 02
Mark-to-Market Upside Is Not Evenly Distributed

Both ownership groups show positive rent spread between market and in-place rents, but the gap between them is wider than many expect. The report quantifies where the larger rollover opportunity sits.

🏗️
Finding 03
Nareit Office Landlords Spend More to Win Tenants

Free rent periods and TI allowances are higher across Nareit Office active leases. The report breaks down the concessions ratio and what it signals about competition for premium tenants in these markets.

Finding 04
Long-Term Rent Growth Favors Nareit; Recent Momentum Favors Others

Since 2019, Nareit Office portfolios have posted stronger starting rent growth overall. But over the most recent 24-month period, all other landlords closed the gap considerably. Both trends are mapped in the full report.

📋
Finding 05
WALT Advantage Signals Lower Near-Term Rollover Risk

Nareit Office leads on weighted average remaining lease term by a meaningful margin. The report identifies the largest individual lease commitments within each portfolio driving that stability.

👥
Finding 06
Tenant Quality Scores Are Identical. Employment Exposure Is Not.

Both portfolios score at the national average on tenant quality. Where they diverge is in industry exposure, particularly around TAMI concentration and its effect on each portfolio’s weighted employment growth rate.
