SAN DIEGO, Feb. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: SQFT; SQFTP; SQFTW) Presidio Property Trust, Inc. ("Presidio" or the "Company"), an internally managed, diversified real estate investment trust ("REIT") announced that during January and February 2024 the Company has sold 2 model homes for a total of approximately $1.04 million and two commercial properties for a total of $16.95 million. The homes were purchased in 2023 with a total acquisition price of approximately $0.9 million. The commercial properties were purchased between 2014 and 2015 for approximately $14.1 million, with a combined book value of approximately $11.6 million prior to the sale.
"We are cautiously optimistic that real estate activity will continue to recover in 2025 and look forward to positive opportunities in the near future. Office occupancy rates could be shifting in a positive trend as more and more companies are ending their remote work programs," said Gary Katz, Chief Investment Officer.
"The model home sales were on par with expectations so far in the first quarter of 2025. Seasonal adjustments as well as election cycles typically result in slower sales. We also remain focused on identifying purchasing opportunities from new and current markets and we will be watching lending rates closely as we analyze opportunities," said Steve Hightower, President of the Model Homes Division.
