Our second quarter results reflect the continued execution of our strategy to drive occupancy and unlock the earnings power of our portfolio. We delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of in-service office occupancy gains, up 470 basis points to 82.5%, and executed 1.3 million square feet of office leases, headlined by 891,000 square feet of new and renewal leases with the City and County of San Francisco. This landmark transaction underscores the enduring appeal of our portfolio and provides nearly a quarter century of cash flow visibility. We increased Core FFO on a per share basis by 30% to $0.35, while growing same-store cash NOI by 7.5%, further evidence that our occupancy gains are translating directly into earnings growth.
Our studio business also continued to make progress, highlighted by our Hollywood stages, which remained effectively fully leased at 95.5%. We stayed disciplined on capital allocation, ending the quarter with $876 million of total liquidity while continuing to prune non-core assets. With a reloaded 2.4 million-square-foot leasing pipeline, and broad demand from AI, other technology and professional services tenants alike building across our West Coast markets, we are confident in our path toward sustained FFO per share growth.
