These credit strengths help balance the risks associated with the company's aggressive development pipeline and slightly higher exposure to variable-rate debt. The outlook is stable. Strong occupancy and expectations for moderate cash flow growth, as well as a solid financial profile, continue to support the ratings. In the longer term, an upgrade would be tied to the company's ability to maintain solid debt protection measures and effectively manage and finance a sizable development pipeline, particularly in light of softening conditions in some of AvalonBay's key rental markets.
