American Strategic Investment Co. (NYSE:NYC) released its first quarter 2025 investor presentation on May 9, highlighting ongoing strategic initiatives to diversify beyond Manhattan real estate while navigating continued financial headwinds. The company’s stock closed at $11.47, down 1.72% on the day of the presentation.
Strategic Initiatives
The company continues to execute its strategic disposition plan, having completed the sale of 9 Times Square in Q4 2024 for $63.5 million, which generated net proceeds of approximately $13.5 million. Management is actively marketing two additional properties—123 William Street and 196 Orchard Street—for potential sale.
"We intend to deploy proceeds towards higher-yielding investments in assets beyond Manhattan real estate, further diversifying the Company’s business," the presentation stated, signaling a shift from the company’s traditional Manhattan-focused approach.
As shown in the following slide detailing the company’s strategic dispositions:
The company also highlighted its active portfolio management approach, completing one new lease at 123 William Street in Q1 2025 totaling 11,521 square feet. Additionally, ASIC executed a term sheet with a current tenant to expand their footprint at 123 William Street by approximately 25,000 square feet and extend their lease for a new 10-year period.

American Strategic Investment maintains a Manhattan-focused real estate portfolio consisting of six mixed-use office and retail condominium buildings. The portfolio had an occupancy rate of 82.0% with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 5.4 years as of Q1 2025.
The company’s tenant base features a mix of government agencies and investment-grade corporate tenants, with 77% of its top 10 tenants holding investment-grade ratings. These top tenants have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 7.8 years, with over 51% of all leases expiring after 2030.

Financial Results
The Q1 2025 financial results revealed ongoing challenges for American Strategic Investment. The company reported revenue from tenants of $12.3 million and a net loss of $8.6 million for the quarter. Notably, Cash NOI declined significantly year-over-year, falling from $7.0 million in Q1 2024 to $4.2 million in Q1 2025.
This decline in Cash NOI continues a challenging trend seen in the company’s Q4 2024 results, which showed a full-year net loss of $140.6 million for 2024, up from $105.9 million in 2023, according to previous earnings reports.

Capital Structure & Outlook
American Strategic Investment emphasized its conservative debt profile, noting that 100% of its debt is fixed-rate with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.4% and a weighted-average debt maturity of 2.3 years. The company has no debt maturities in 2025, with the next significant maturity of $99.0 million coming due in 2026.
The company’s net leverage ratio stands at 57.9%, which management characterized as a "modest leverage profile." Total (EPA:TTEF) debt amounts to $350.0 million against real estate assets at cost of $470.9 million.
The following slide provides a detailed overview of the company’s capital structure:
Looking ahead, American Strategic Investment appears focused on completing its strategic dispositions and deploying capital toward more diversified investments beyond Manhattan real estate. This pivot comes as the company continues to face financial headwinds, as evidenced by the declining Cash NOI and ongoing net losses.
The company’s management team, led by CEO Nicholas Schorsch, Jr., who took over following a leadership transition announced in late 2024, faces the challenge of executing this strategic shift while addressing the underlying financial performance issues.
With a solid tenant base but continued financial challenges, investors will be watching closely to see if American Strategic Investment’s strategic pivot can deliver improved financial results in upcoming quarters.
