Commenting on the results, Steven Guttman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased with our first quarter results. While rising interest rates will likely put pressure on our funds from operation growth over the next 12 to 18 months, our high quality core portfolio should continue to generate above average internal growth as the Trust continues to execute its mixed-use development strategy. Construction is proceeding apace on Phase IV of our Bethesda Row master plan development in Bethesda, Maryland and we are on target for a spring 2001 opening. Likewise, we are making excellent progress on our Pentagon Row project in Arlington, Virginia. The project is presently 85% pre-leased with a targeted opening in the second half of 2001."
