Analyst · Blaine Heck from Wells Fargo Securities
Thanks, Adam, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining American Assets Trust's First Quarter 2014 Earnings Call.
As we pointed out in our annual report, American Assets Trust ranked #1 amongst our peer set with a total return of 69.5%, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends for its first 3 years as a public company. Our focused, disciplined investment and development strategies continue to deliver consistent, reliable and proven results.
In 2013, our common stock had a total shareholder return of 15.6%, assuming the reinvestments of all dividends. And we significantly outperformed the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index, which had a total return of 2.9%, again, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends. We like that distinction, and we hope to maintain it in the future. And we're working very hard to continue that performance.
The performance of our premier portfolio of all of retail office and multi-family assets are off to a strong start this year. Our FFO share increased 3% to $0.39 per diluted share for 3 months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Office and retail leasing remained active, including 24 signed leases, totaling approximately 91,500 square feet.
The Portland, Oregon Lloyd District development and the San Diego, California Torrey Reserve developments are well underway. Sorrento Pointe, also in San Diego, is not far behind. We're pleased that these development projects and others in our pipeline should allow us to increase our NAV and be accretive to shareholders for many, many years to come.
Our focus remains on creating long-term values for our shareholders. Again, we're not seeking to be the biggest, we just want to continue to be the best. Our multi-asset class strategy continues to demonstrate that diversity is additive to our ability to provide consistent growth, strong returns and value creation. Again, on behalf of all of us at American Assets Trust, we thank you for your confidence in allowing us to manage your company, and we look forward to your continued support.
I'd now like to turn over to our President and CEO, John Chamberlain. John, would you please take it from here? And thank you.
