"In the first quarter, we saw strong demand for our rental housing properties leading to same-property multifamily net operating income growth of 4.3%. Our global rental housing business represents our largest sector and has expanded to 65,000 units, which we either hold an equity interest in or are currently financing," said William McMorrow, CEO of Kennedy Wilson. "We are off to a strong start in 2025, having deployed or committed approximately $1 billion of capital in Q1. We have completed or are in the process of closing $2.4 billion in new construction loan originations, compared to $3.5 billion for the entirety of 2024 - highlighting the accelerated pace of capital deployment. Additionally, we expect to generate over $400 million in proceeds from non-core asset sales during the remainder of 2025. These proceeds will be allocated toward strengthening our balance sheet through the reduction of unsecured debt and to support the continued growth of our investment management platform."

Portfolio & Operational Update

  • Baseline EBITDA Grows by 5% to $108 Million: Baseline EBITDA grew by 5% (vs. Q1-24), driven by higher property NOI and investment management fees.

  • Investment Management Fees Increase by 17%: Investment Management Fees grew by 17% in Q1-25 (vs Q1-24) to $25 million driven by increasing levels of recurring base management fees and $724 million of originations completed in Q1-25 by KW's debt investment platform.
