Description: CIO City Office October 29, 2025

City Office REIT, Inc. (NYSE:CIO) is a Canadian-incorporated, diversified REIT that concentrates on acquiring and managing office properties in Sun Belt cities with strong economic fundamentals. The firm’s stated strategy is to boost returns by expanding internal cash flow and executing targeted value-creation initiatives.

As of Q3 2024, CIO reported an occupancy rate of roughly 93% and a funds-from-operations (FFO) growth of about 5% year-over-year, reflecting resilient demand in its core markets such as Dallas, Phoenix, and Atlanta. These metros have posted average employment growth near 2% annually, a key driver that underpins office-space demand despite broader remote-work trends. The REIT’s leverage ratio remains modest at ~3.5× net debt to EBITDA, positioning it to capitalize on further rent-up cycles.

For a deeper quantitative comparison of CIO’s valuation metrics against peers, the ValueRay platform offers a transparent, data-driven dashboard.
