In its latest research, Axiometrics Inc., a provider of data and advisory

February 2012 was the highest it has been since June 2011, with effective rent
(rent net of concessions) increasing by 0.66% from January to February.
Likewise, the national occupancy rate improved on a sequential basis for the
first time since August 2011, increasing from 93.36% in January to 93.57% in
February. This was the highest month-to-month gain since April 2011, and the

growth rates–0.87%–provide a potential monthly revenue growth figure, and
exceed every month since May 2011.  Read the full Axiometrics press release.
