Essex Property Trust at BofA real estate conference: west coast edge

Essex Property Trust (ESS) presented a mixed but largely constructive view of its West Coast apartment business at the BofA NY Global Real Estate Conference 2026. The company highlighted unusually tight supply, improving demand in Northern California, and signs of stabilization in Seattle, while acknowledging softness in Southern California and lingering delinquency issues in Los Angeles.

Essex's disciplined approach to capital allocation and geographic concentration continues to support results, even as it enters a slower seasonal period and faces higher refinancing costs if interest rates remain elevated.
