Shawn Tibbetts. chairman, president and CEO of AH Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: AHRT), sat down for a video interview at Nareit’s REITweek: 2026 Investor Conference in New York, June 1-4.
Tibbetts gave an update on the continued work to restructure AH Realty Trust into a simpler and more focused real estate platform. The REIT previously owned three property types, multifamily, office, and retail, and has transacted on the material portion of the multifamily assets. Meanwhile, the majority of the real estate financing platform has been sold, alongside the construction business. As a result, AH Realty Trust is now focused on open-air shopping centers and mixed-use office assets.
“We continue to make progress from top to bottom, adding two new directors, refreshing our board, all the way through to right-sizing our company and its operations to focus on the aforementioned asset classes,” Tibbett said.
In terms of future capital allocation, “we're looking at open-air retail centers and mixed-use office settings…we believe that's where we add the most value,” Tibbetts said.
As for the REIT’s key drivers of success, Tibbetts commented, “we're excited about the growth that exists in the current portfolio and the opportunity to continue to leverage the assets that are strong and have a moat around them in the portfolio, as well as adding to them at the right time.”
