Forward Guidance
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a pause in our nation’s economic activity including that of some of our tenants. While our sector may benefit from widespread and accelerated adoption of e-commerce and increasing inventories, we are reducing our 2020 guidance to reflect a reserve for potential tenant defaults and slightly lower occupancy.
