Terreno Realty (TRNO - Free Report) continues to capitalize on strong demand for industrial real estate, as evidenced by its recent leasing activity.

The company recently announced the execution of an early lease renewal for a 107,000-square-foot property in Kent, WA, leased to a provider of flooring products and services. The lease is scheduled to commence on May 1, 2027 and run through July 2032, strengthening the visibility of TRNO’s future rental income.

Earlier this month, the REIT also secured a pre-lease for a 4.6-acre improved land parcel in Elizabeth, NJ, with a truck sales and leasing operator. The lease will begin on Nov. 1, 2026, upon the expiration of the current lease, and extend through January 2034.

These transactions reflect continued healthy demand for TRNO’s strategically located industrial assets across its six major coastal U.S. markets.

Terreno Realty delivered encouraging leasing results during the first quarter of 2026. New and renewed leases commencing within its operating portfolio totaled 0.7 million square feet, while leases for improved land parcels covered 7.2 acres.

The company continued to capture meaningful rent growth. Cash rents on new and renewed leases that commenced during the quarter increased 22.4%, underscoring the strength of market fundamentals and the quality of TRNO’s portfolio.
