Offsetting these decreases, revenue increased year over year at Bloc 83, Mission City and Florida Research Park’s Ingenuity Drive by $1.1 million, $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, due to higher occupancy.

Operating Expenses
Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses are comprised mainly of building common area and maintenance expenses, insurance, property taxes, property management fees, as well as certain expenses that are not recoverable from tenants, the majority of which are related to costs necessary to maintain the appearance and marketability of vacant space.

Property operating expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 8%, to $32.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The disposition of Superior Pointe in January 2025 and Cascade Station in June 2024 decreased property operating expenses by $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Property taxes decreased across the portfolio by $1.5 million, excluding the dispositions noted above, in comparison to the prior year as property tax accruals were lower in the first half of 2025 as compared to the first half of 2024.

Greenwood Blvd and Florida Research Park's Ingenuity Drive increased by $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, due to higher amortization of tenant-related assets. The increase at Greenwood Blvd was due to accelerated amortization of tenant-related assets recorded in the current year associated with an early lease termination at the property.

The remaining properties’ depreciation expenses were $0.9 million higher in comparison to the prior year period.
