Description: ESRT Empire State Realty Trust January 13, 2026
Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESRT) is a New York-city-centric REIT that owns and operates roughly 7.8 million rentable square feet of office space, 0.8 million rentable square feet of retail space, and 743 residential units, anchored by the iconic Empire State Building, which has been ranked the #1 NYC attraction by TripAdvisor for four straight years.
Recent data (Q3 2025) show an average office occupancy of 92 % and a retail occupancy of 85 %, reflecting the city’s post-pandemic rebound; the trust reported a 2024 adjusted FFO of $0.95 per share, a 7 % YoY increase driven by rent escalations and cost-saving energy-efficiency initiatives. Key macro drivers include NYC’s strong employment growth (+2.3 % YoY in Q3 2025) and the Fed’s tightening cycle, which pressures cap rates but also supports demand for high-quality, centrally located assets.
