* Camden Property Trust expects to incur roughly $2.5 million to $3.0 million in expenses during the third quarter as a result of Hurricane Harvey.

Roughly $1.0 million is projected to go toward storm-related expenditures such as disaster relief.

Additionally, the company opened a 2,064-unit storage facility offering 194,000 square feet of net rentable space at US-290 and Mueschke Road in Cypress, Texas, marking its 116th facility in the Houston area.

* Kimco Realty Corp. said almost all of its 17 assets in the Houston area have resumed operations, including its recently launched Grand Parkway Marketplace development.

* Life Storage Inc. said 63 of its properties in Houston and Beaumont, Texas, have resumed business operations, while six facilities remain shut temporarily, noting that there might be additional closings because of the continued flooding and other consequences brought on by the storm.
