The NAV increase is modest and driven by capital inflows rather than property appreciation. Monitor future redemption requests and portfolio occupancy trends for signs of stress. The Whitestone acquisition adds grocery-anchored retail exposure in high-barrier markets, which may support long-term cash flows.
