Operating Results
In the fourth quarter, total revenue increased by $10.4 million YOY, or 2.5 percent, to $433.1 million. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in revenue from Same-Store communities, completed developments, and acquired communities, partially offset by declines in revenue from property dispositions.
“The impressive operational results we achieved amid a choppy operating environment are a direct result of our team’s data-driven preparation, agility, and execution,” said Mike Lacy, UDR’s Chief Operating Officer. “First, 2025 was set up for success when we strategically adjusted the cadence of lease expirations. Then, when demand unexpectedly weakened late in the third quarter, we quicky pivoted to a high-occupancy strategy. These maneuvers positioned the portfolio for a reacceleration of blended lease rate growth in the final months of 2025. This acceleration has continued into early-2026 along with sustained outsized other income growth, low resident turnover, and elevated occupancy. We are well-positioned as we embark on a period of lower levels of competing new supply.”
