UDR, Inc. has announced its fourth quarter and full-year 2023 results and has posted a related Investor Presentation to its website at ir.udr.com. Net Income, Funds from Operations (“FFO”), FFO as Adjusted (“FFOA”), and Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) per diluted share for the quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2023 are detailed below.

• During the fourth quarter, the Company,
  • Acquired One Upland, a 262-home apartment community in suburban Boston, MA, for $114.3 million (or $58.3 million at UDR’s 51 percent share) through its joint venture with LaSalle Investment Management.
  • Sold The Arbory, a 276-home apartment community in Portland, OR, for gross proceeds of $78.6 million.
  • Entered into an agreement to sell Crescent Falls Church, a 214-home apartment community in Metropolitan Washington, D.C., for gross proceeds of $100.0 million. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024.
  • Agreed to accept the third-party developer’s equity interest affiliated with UDR’s $45.2 million preferred equity joint venture investment in a 173-home apartment community located in Oakland, CA. As a result of the agreement, the Company began consolidating the joint venture in December 2023 and recorded a non-cash investment loss of $24.3 million, or approximately $0.07 of net income per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2023. The transfer closed in January 2024 and the Company rebranded the community as the Residences at Lake Merritt.
  • Achieved stabilized occupancy at The MO, a $145.0 million, 300-home apartment community developed in Washington, D.C.
  • Published its fifth annual ESG report and concurrently announced that it earned the Regional Sector Leader designation from GRESB. Additionally, the Company was named to Newsweek’s annual list of America’s Most Responsible Companies for the third consecutive year.

“2023 was another solid year with 6 percent FFOA per share growth,” said Tom Toomey, UDR’s Chairman and CEO. “The long-term fundamental outlook for the Multifamily sector is positive due to continued employment gains, a high propensity to rent, and attractive relative affordability versus other forms of housing. However, elevated new supply deliveries in 2024 suggest near-term market rent growth will be more muted compared to long-term averages. Nonetheless, UDR is a full-cycle investment with a history of relative outperformance through volatile economic periods due to our strong operating and capital markets acumen, innovative culture, and investment grade balance sheet.”
