Terreno Realty Corporation announced the early renewal of a 107,000‑square‑foot industrial lease in Washington, D.C. with the U.S. Secret Service. The new lease will begin on February 13 2026 and run through February 2029, extending the tenant’s occupancy by three years beyond the original term.
The renewal reinforces Terreno’s occupancy profile, which stood at 96.2 % as of September 30 2025, down modestly from 97.7 % in the prior quarter but up from 97.0 % a year earlier. The addition of the Secret Service, a high‑profile tenant, is expected to contribute to a 17.2 % increase in cash rents on new and renewed leases during Q3 2025, supporting the company’s cash‑rent‑spread strategy.
Terreno’s Q3 2025 financials provide context for the lease’s significance. The company reported earnings per share of $1.00, beating analyst estimates of $0.66 by $0.34, and revenue of $116.25 million, exceeding expectations of $114.62 million. The operating margin of 39.36 % reflects disciplined cost management amid a 17.2 % cash‑rent growth, while the debt‑to‑equity ratio remained low at 0.26.
The lease renewal underscores Terreno’s focus on infill industrial assets in high‑barrier coastal markets. By securing a long‑term tenant in Washington, D.C., the company strengthens its portfolio in a market that has historically shown resilience to economic cycles. The transaction also aligns with Terreno’s strategy of maintaining a conservative leverage profile while pursuing opportunistic acquisitions—$472.6 million of acquisitions were completed in Q3 2025.
Terreno has a track record of increasing its dividend for five consecutive years, currently yielding 3.34 %. The stable cash flow generated by long‑term leases such as this one supports the company’s dividend policy and provides a reliable return to shareholders.
The lease renewal is a positive development for Terreno, adding a sizable, stable tenant to its Washington, D.C. portfolio and reinforcing its occupancy and revenue outlook in a high‑barrier market.
