Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. offers individual investors access to a premier portfolio of primarily Class-A office properties around the United States. We believe we distinguish ourselves from other owners and operators of office properties in a number of important ways and enjoy significant competitive strengths, including the following: • High-Quality Assets in Major U.S. Markets. We look to invest in markets that exhibit a diverse industry base, strong population and employment growth, history of increasing rental rates, attractive supply/demand ratios and appeal to institutional real estate investors. • High-Quality, Diverse Tenant Base. Our portfolio is primarily leased to large, high-credit-quality tenants, and our diverse tenant base helps to minimize our exposure to economic fluctuations in any one industry or business sector or with respect to any single tenant. • Flexible Capital Structure with Capacity for Growth. Our flexible capital structure allows us to capitalize on favorable acquisition and development opportunities and should also enable us to take advantage of other opportunities to maximize earnings per share. • Proven Capital-Recycling Capabilities. We have a track record of completing a large volume of commercial real estate acquisitions and dispositions. Since inception, we have acquired approximately $5.3 billion and we have sold approximately $1.1 billion in commercial real estate. • Experienced and Committed Management Team. Our five-member executive management team has an average of over 21 years of commercial real estate and/or public company financial management experience. • Strong Tenant Relationships. Through our tenant-focused approach, we foster strong relationships with our tenants’ corporate real estate executives and come to understand their long-term business needs, with the objective of becoming their preferred landlord. • Efficient, Customer-Service-Oriented Organization. We believe that our in-house acquisition, asset management, financing, property management and construction management services allow us to respond promptly to the many demands of our existing and potential customer base. |
