Elevated LeverageA materially higher leverage profile meaningfully tightens financial flexibility and increases sensitivity to operating shocks or higher rates. Even with liquidity, elevated debt raises refinancing and covenant risk and limits capital allocation optionality over the medium term.
Deliberately Low Tenant RetentionChoosing a lower renewal rate to chase higher retenanting spreads increases downtime and execution risk. If leasing cadence slows or tenant replacements take longer, occupancy and near-term cash flow can be pressured, raising volatility in FFO and free cash flow.
Cash-Flow & Expense VariabilityWeaker recent cash-flow momentum and lumpy operating expenses (e.g., snow costs, tenant-improvement timing) reduce predictability of distributable cash. This variability constrains reinvestment, dividend safety buffer and debt servicing flexibility if adverse trends persist.
