Douglas Emmett owns a portfolio of Class A office properties and multifamily apartment units located in the premier coastal submarkets of Los Angeles, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. Within the Los Angeles area, the company focuses on the Westside and San Fernando Valley regions, with properties in submarkets such as Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, Brentwood, Westwood, and Burbank. The company pursues an active development and redevelopment strategy, which includes transformative projects like redeveloping existing apartment communities and converting office buildings into multi-tenant or mixed-use residential properties.
Douglas Emmett is prioritizing the management of its capital structure and navigating the ongoing after-effects of pandemic-driven shifts in office demand by focusing heavily on residential and medical office assets. The company's high-level strategy involves advancing residential adaptive reuse developments, acquiring targeted high-quality properties through joint ventures, and executing large-scale refinancings to manage debt maturities and interest expense. In December 2022, the company reduced its quarterly dividend by 32%, from $0.28 to $0.19 per share, to retain liquidity and prioritize a concurrent share repurchase authorization. The dividend remains at this $0.19 per share level as of May 2026.
