Our view: The narrowing gap between leased occupancy and economic occupancy (560bp in +1 212 526 9428

2Q26 vs. 840bp in 1Q26) supports an acceleration in same-store growth going forward. We brendan.lynch@barclays.com

anticipate this gap will continue to narrow following several quarters of strong leasing activity. BCI, US

Leasing volume of 445k sqft in 2Q26 was below the trailing 4-quarter average of 700k and fell Annabelle Ayer

-18% y/y. However, the company signed an additional 98k sqft lease in July, bringing YTD leasing +1 212 526 7387

to 1,479k sqft (+17% y/y). Naturally, the pace of leasing may decelerate going forward as SLG's annabelle.ayer@barclays.com
