N/A
EastGroup Properties continues to execute an aggressive growth strategy anchored by infill development and strategic acquisitions across high-growth Sunbelt markets. Rather than pursuing significant deleveraging, the company is actively utilizing a capital recycling approach—selling non-core properties to partially fund its development pipeline and fresh investments. Management is currently digesting the large-scale early 2025 acquisition of multiple Texas Triangle distribution hubs. This historically significant transaction successfully pushed the REIT’s operating portfolio past 60 million square feet and lifted its market capitalization above $12 billion, though specific transaction terms and cap rates for this historical deal were not publicly disclosed. While individual cap rates for recent acquisitions have not been detailed, the company’s stabilized development projects have recently been commanding yields in the 7.0% to 8.0% range, which management has noted compare very favorably to prevailing market acquisition cap rates in the mid-5.0% to low-6.0% range.
