“This recast completes a series of financing activities this quarter that meaningfully lower our average cost of borrowing and extend our average duration,” said Mark O. Decker Jr., President and CEO. “The completed financing activities decreased our weighted average interest from 3.70% at June 30, 2021, to 3.35% and our weighted average maturities from 4.9 years at June 30, 2021 to 7.6 years. We’re grateful for our bank group’s work to help Centerspace build greater financial flexibility. These actions enhance our ability to compete in today’s environment.”
