Centerspace Reports Decrease in Revenue and Net Loss for Q2 2026

Centerspace, a North Dakota-based real estate investment trust (REIT), reported a decrease in revenue and net loss for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the company generated revenue of $65.8 million, down 4.0% from $68.5 million in the prior year. The net loss available to common shareholders was $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, significantly improved from a net loss of $14.5 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2025. The decline in revenue was primarily attributed to the sale of 12 apartment communities in the previous year, although this was partially offset by increased revenue from non-same-store communities.

In terms of operational metrics, Centerspace owned 60 apartment communities with a total of 12,090 apartment homes as of June 30, 2026. The company disposed of one apartment community during the quarter, generating a gain of $271,000 from the sale. The weighted average occupancy rate for same-store communities was reported at 96.0%, slightly up from 95.9% in the prior year. The company’s net operating income (NOI) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $41.1 million, a decrease of 2.1% from $42.0 million in the same period last year.

Centerspace's financial position showed a total asset value of $1.84 billion as of June 30, 2026, down from $1.93 billion at the end of 2025. The company’s total liabilities decreased to $1.04 billion from $1.08 billion, reflecting a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The company also reported a total equity of $792.0 million, down from $839.8 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. The decrease in equity was influenced by accumulated distributions in excess of net income, which rose to $689.5 million from $649.7 million.

Strategically, Centerspace did not acquire any new real estate during the first half of 2026, focusing instead on optimizing its existing portfolio. The company has been actively managing its capital structure, including a share repurchase program that authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of its common shares. As of June 30, 2026, Centerspace had repurchased 45,310 shares for a total cost of $2.5 million. The company also maintained liquidity of approximately $242.6 million, which included $234.0 million available on its lines of credit.

Looking ahead, Centerspace anticipates continued challenges in the multifamily housing market, including inflationary pressures and potential impacts from economic conditions. The company remains focused on enhancing operational efficiency and maximizing resident satisfaction to drive profitability. The management expressed optimism about future performance, contingent on effective execution of its strategic initiatives and market conditions.
