Thank you, David. Good morning and thank you for joining Whitestone's second quarter 2024 earnings conference call.

We had another very strong quarter. Extending out to nine quarters, we have now had 17% plus leasing spreads. Beyond the very strong supply and demand fundamentals underpinning our business, our strategy and our focus on operations are driving strong same store net operating income growth, which is the key to our long term earnings growth.
