We are seeing solid growth and positive trajectory in our top line revenues in our core multifamily business, which is supported by broad positive economic and migration trends. These operational successes have allowed us to continue to advance our strategic goals of simplifying our business platform to focus on our Class A suburban Sunbelt multifamily business, complimented by our 100% grocery anchored retail investments, and to continue realigning our balance sheet by reducing our preferred shares outstanding. Subsequent to quarter end, we signed an agreement for the sale of a substantial majority of our office portfolio, and upon closing, anticipated to be in the third quarter, we look forward to utilizing the net proceeds to redeem additional Series A preferred shares while also continuing to leverage our deep Sunbelt relationships to grow our investment in our core multifamily business. We expect these efforts to result in meaningful long-term stockholder value creation," stated Joel Murphy, Preferred Apartment Communities' President and Chief Executive Officer.
