Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. On the call with me today are John Kilroy and Jeff Hawken, as well as other senior members of our management team who are available for Q&A. At the outset, I need to say that some of the information we will be discussing is forward-looking in nature.

Then, we'll be happy to take your questions. John?

John Kilroy -- Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Tyler. Hello, everybody, and thank you for joining us today. I'll begin this morning with a review of 2018 highlights and fourth quarter results, and finish with the status of conditions in our markets that are driving our development activities and shaping our 2019 outlook and objectives.

First, last year's highlights. 2018 was an excellent year for us across the company. Our West Coast markets remained healthy and vibrant and we in turn delivered a record high leasing performance, signing 3.4 million square feet of leases in our stabilized portfolio and development program. Cash and GAAP rents were up 15% and 36% respectively in the stabilized portfolio.

We proactively addressed our 2018 and 2019 expirations. We signed a 12-year lease with Netflix for all -- with the 355,000 square feet of our office space at the mixed use development project that is under construction in Hollywood. We also signed leases on 91% of the retail space and have commitments on roughly two-thirds of the office space at our One Paseo mixed-use project in Del Mar.
