Terreno Realty Secures Early Lease Renewal, Witnesses Healthy Demand
Terreno Realty TRNO recently announced the execution of a 52,000 square foot early lease renewal in Washington, D.C. The lessee of the agreement is a wine and spirits distributor. The renewal lease is set to commence on April 1, 2026 and is scheduled to expire in March 2031. TRNO, which acquires, owns and operates industrial real estate in six major coastal U.S. markets, has been experiencing healthy demand for its properties from new and existing tenants. Apart from the above lease, early last month, this real estate investment trust (REIT) announced the execution of a 35,000-square-foot renewal lease and a 30,000-square-foot expansion lease in Santa Clara, CA, with a designer and developer of eVTOL aircraft. TRNO's Q2 2025 Leasing Details TRNO is experiencing healthy leasing activity, as evident in its performance in the second quarter of 2025. Its operating portfolio was 97.7% leased to 662 tenants as of June 30, 2025. TRNO's same-store portfolio of 14.1 million square feet was 98.5% leased as of June 30, 2025. For the company's improved land portfolio of 47 parcels spanning 150.6 acres, the leased rate was 95.1% as of June 30, 2025. Terreno Realty was able to lock in higher rents on new and renewed leases during the quarter. Cash rents on new and renewed leases commencing during the second quarter of 2025 climbed 22.6%. Moreover, the tenant retention ratio was 71.7% for the operating portfolio. TRNO: In a Nutshell With a solid operating platform, a healthy balance sheet position and strategic expansion moves, TRNO seems well-positioned to capitalize on long-term growth opportunities. However, amid macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical issues, customers remain focused on cost controls and delay their decision-making with respect to leasing. This is a concern for the company. Over the past month, shares of this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company have dropped 6.5% compared with the industry's decline of 3.1%.

Local athlete claims Masters 3 title at WPC competition
Con Amore School's woodwork teacher Johan Steenkamp proved he's just as strong outside the classroom as he is inside it, clinching first place in the Masters 3 (100kg) division at the World Powerlifting Congress (WPC) event held at Urban Shack in Benoni on June 15. The veteran lifter impressed judges and spectators alike with a 240kg squat, 140kg bench press, and 280kg deadlift, marking another high point in a powerlifting career that spans more than two decades. Steenkamp has long been a powerhouse in the sport, having held numerous national and world records under the WPC. ALSO READ: Model Transportation Fair set for August 2 at Wynand Marais Hall His journey began 21 years ago, competing in equipped categories with the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), where athletes use squat suits, bench shirts, and knee wraps for added lift capacity. He represented South Africa at the 2007 Commonwealth Games in New Zealand, finishing fourth overall. The following year, during the World IPF event in Potchefstroom, he earned his SA Protea colours as a coach. 'I feel my hard work and dedication paid off,' said Steenkamp. 'At the end of the day, what you put in is what you get out.' In 2014, Steenkamp joined the Rhino Powerlifting Club (RPC), and by 2018, transitioned fully into the WPC, where he says he found his true competitive home. Since then, he has racked up nine South African records and five world records, including standout lifts like a 285kg squat, 160kg bench press, and 285kg deadlift, with a total lift of 730kg. His international appearances include the 2019 WPC Championships in Lahti, Finland, where, despite battling severe cramps, he managed a total of 686kg. ALSO READ: Kempton athlete to represent SA at world pole sports event Later that year, he dominated the SA WPC Nationals, winning the overall Masters title and breaking the Master Two (90kg) deadlift record. In 2021, he returned to the national stage to set a new world record with a 275kg squat, cementing his status as one of South Africa's most enduring lifters. His journey hasn't been without setbacks. In 2022, he tore his right shoulder's supraspinatus muscle and suffered a minor tear in the left shortly after. After nearly a year out, he returned to training in July 2022, with the support of his youngest son, Franco, who now trains alongside him. 'Franco keeps me focused and motivated,' he said. 'Training together is special.' Steenkamp's resilience runs deeper than injury recovery. Diagnosed in 2001 with an enlarged blood vessel on the brain, doctors warned him against heavy training. But with successful treatment and his oncologist's encouragement, he returned to the sport and never looked back. 'Powerlifting gave me a new perspective on life,' he said. 'It's taught me discipline, mental strength, and patience – qualities I use daily as a teacher working with special needs learners.' ALSO READ: Kempton athlete to represent SA at world pole sports event He credits much of his success to coach and mentor Pieter De Waal. 'He taught me never to give up. Powerlifting is a sport that builds both mental and physical endurance.' Now, Steenkamp is focused on his next challenge – the 2025 WPC World Championships, set to take place in Durban on November 6. 'I'd like to thank my wife Louise for her support, my eldest son Jason for managing my nutrition, and Franco for being my daily motivation,' he said. 'Their support keeps me strong and focused as I prepare for the Worlds.'

Here's an early look at the four Samsung Galaxy S25 FE color options
Peter, 04 August 2025 Samsung officially confirmed that the Galaxy S25 FE will be launching early (though we still don't have an exact date). A few days ago, there was a full specs leak, which is now followed by a look at the four colorways. They are called Icy Blue, Navy, Jet Black and White, which can be seen in the image below, courtesy of Samsung Galaxy S25 FE in Icy Blue, Navy, Jet Black and White Previously, we've seen an official render of the White model and a photo of what is probably the Jet Black model (it's a photo from the WPC, the lighting is so bad that it's hard to tell). As a quick overview of what to expect, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will have a 6.7' LTPO display (1080p+) with Gorilla Glass Victus, it will be powered by the Exynos 2400 (not the 2400e like the S24 FE) and a 4,500mAh battery now with faster 45W wired and the same 15W wireless charging. The phone will have a 50MP main camera (f/1.8, OIS), 3x telephoto and 8MP ultra-wide, plus a 12MP selfie camera. It will measure 161.3 x 76.6 x 7.4mm, making it smaller than its predecessor, and it will be a good deal lighter at 190g (down from 213g). It will have the same IP68 rating. Given how often the Galaxy S25 FE and Galaxy Tab S10 Lite have leaked together, we wouldn't be surprised to see them announced together. When that might be is still an open question, but it should be before late September (that's when the S24 FE was announced last year). Source (in Dutch)
