Management evaluated Victor Coleman’s track record and skillset against the following key factors for HPP:
- Achieving studio profitability via cost cuts & production rebound.
- Securing tenants for key vacancies to avoid earnings drag.
- Converting AI leasing demand to drive occupancy inflection.
- Executing deleveraging to survive ‘higher for longer’ rates.
