Welch said the grocery retail sector continues to benefit from elevated construction costs, tight lending conditions and limited new retail development. Those factors have constrained retail availability and strengthened landlords’ pricing power, he said, supporting tenant retention and rent increases upon lease expiration
Management also highlighted its debt profile. The REIT reported a weighted-average interest rate of 5%, with more than 90% of its debt carrying fixed interest rates. Welch said this structure provides stability for near-term financing costs
