Our team continues to execute across the business, working to maximize flexibility, lease space and grow occupancy. To date, we have not experienced any tariff-related impacts to tenant demand, but rather we continue to see signs of improving or stabilizing fundamentals.
Following our best office leasing quarter in nearly three years, our pipeline further increased to 2.1 million square feet, including over 700,000 square feet of later-stage deals, a significant portion of which have subsequently been signed. Starting in the second half of this year, our office lease expirations will be among the lowest in the sector. We are also energized by record flows of venture capital with the largest investments focused on west coast companies in the hyper-growth, office-first AI industry. On the studio side, we are poised to benefit from potential financial support coming from federal, state and local sources, all of which could propel demand later this year. To that point, our team is already having success in capturing an outsized portion of high-caliber production leads to improve occupancy.
We are also delivering on asset sales, cost savings and debt reduction to enhance our balance sheet and liquidity. Our ongoing efforts are focused on strengthening our company’s position as one the preeminent owners of west coast properties that generates strong sustained cashflow and value for our shareholders.
