(1)Refer to the table on the next page that shows the categorization of our real estate joint ventures under the consolidation framework.
(2)In addition to the real estate joint ventures listed, we have one consolidated real estate joint venture in Greater Boston market in which a partner holds a $48.7 million
redeemable noncontrolling interest earning a fixed return.
(3)Includes 409 and 499 Illinois, 1450, 1500, and 1700 Owens Street, and 455 Mission Bay Boulevard South.
(4)Includes 10210, 10260, 10290, and 10300 Campus Point Drive and 4110, 4135, 4155, 4161, 4165, 4224, and 4242 Campus Point Court.
(5)The noncontrolling interest share of our joint venture partner is anticipated to decrease to 25%, as we expect to fund the majority of future construction costs at the
campus until our ownership interest increases to 75%, after which future capital would be contributed pro rata with our partner.
(6)Includes 9605, 9645, 9675, 9725, 9735, 9805, 9808, 9855, and 9868 Scranton Road and 10055, 10065, and 10075 Barnes Canyon Road.
(7)Includes 9965, 9975, 9985, and 9995 Summers Ridge Road.
(8)In addition to the real estate joint ventures listed, we hold an interest in one insignificant unconsolidated real estate joint venture. 
(9)Represents a joint venture with a local real estate operator in which our joint venture partner manages the day-to-day activities that significantly affect the economic
performance of the joint venture.
Our consolidation policy is described under “Consolidation” in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our
unaudited consolidated financial statements. Consolidation accounting is highly technical, but its framework is primarily based on the
controlling financial interests and benefits of the joint ventures. We generally consolidate a joint venture that is a legal entity that we
control (i.e., we have the power to direct the activities of the joint venture that most significantly affect its economic performance)
through contractual rights, regardless of our ownership interest, and where we determine that we have benefits through the allocation of
earnings or losses and fees paid to us that could be significant to the joint venture (the “VIE model”).
We also generally consolidate joint ventures when we have a controlling financial interest through voting rights and where our
voting interest is greater than 50% (the “voting model”). Voting interest differs from ownership interest for some joint ventures. We
account for joint ventures that do not meet the consolidation criteria under the equity method of accounting by recognizing our share of
income and losses.

(1)In addition to the real estate joint ventures listed, we have one real estate joint venture that we control and consolidate under the VIE model, in which the partner holds a
$48.7 million redeemable noncontrolling interest earning a fixed preferred return. We also hold an interest in one insignificant unconsolidated real estate joint venture.
99 Coolidge Avenue
In July 2025, we amended the agreement for our consolidated real estate joint venture at 99 Coolidge Avenue in our
Cambridge/Inner Suburbs submarket. Pursuant to the amended agreement, the carrying amount of our partner’s noncontrolling interest
was adjusted from $42.0 million to $48.7 million. We continued to control and consolidate the joint venture. Accordingly, we accounted
for the $6.7 million adjustment as an equity transaction and recognized it in additional paid-in capital.
Pursuant to the amended agreement, our partner’s noncontrolling interest was converted into a $48.7 million redeemable
noncontrolling interest that accrues a fixed 4.05% annual preferred return (“distributions”) and no longer participates in the joint
venture’s earnings or distributions in excess of preferred return. Further, under the amended agreement, our partner has a put option
beginning January 2026 to require us to purchase its preferred interest for $48.7 million plus any unpaid distributions. As of September
30, 2025, the contractual preferred interest amount of $48.7 million and accrued distribution of $340 thousand were classified as
redeemable noncontrolling interests within temporary equity in our consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of
stockholders equity.
Pacific Technology Park and 199 East Blaine Street
Prior to September 2025, we had two consolidated real estate joint ventures with one partner through its affiliates: (i) a joint
venture that owned Pacific Technology Park, a non-Megacampus of five non-laboratory properties aggregating 544,352 RSF in our
Sorrento Mesa submarket, in which we had a 50% ownership interest and our partner held the remaining 50% ownership interest, and
(ii) a joint venture that owned a laboratory building at 199 East Blaine Street, aggregating 115,084 RSF on the Alexandria Center® for
Life Science – Eastlake Megacampus in our Lake Union submarket, in which we had a 30% ownership interest and our partner held the
remaining 70% ownership interest.
In September 2025, we completed the following transaction with our partner through its affiliates:
(i)We sold our 50% controlling interest in the consolidated joint venture that owned Pacific Technology Park for a sales price
of $96.0 million. In connection with this disposition, we derecognized our partner’s noncontrolling interest of $82.4 million
and recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $9.3 million in our consolidated statements of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2025; and
(ii)We acquired our partner’s 70% noncontrolling interest at 199 East Blaine Street for a purchase price of $94.4 million. We
accounted for this acquisition as an equity transaction, with the $66.3 million excess of the purchase price over the $30.3
million book value of the noncontrolling interest acquired less costs to sell, recognized in additional paid-in capital and no
gain or loss recognized in earnings.
As a result of this transaction, we received proceeds of $1.6 million. As of September 30, 2025, we own 100% of 199 East
Blaine Street and no longer have an ownership interest in Pacific Technology Park.
Consolidated VIEs’ balance sheet information
We, together with joint venture partners, hold interests in real estate joint ventures that we consolidate in our financial
statements. These existing joint ventures provide significant equity capital to fund a portion of our future construction spending, and our
joint venture partners may also contribute equity into these entities for financing-related activities.

In determining whether to aggregate the balance sheet information of consolidated VIEs, we considered the similarity of each
VIE, including the primary purpose of these entities to own, manage, operate, and lease real estate properties owned by the VIEs, and
the similar nature of our involvement in each VIE as a managing member. Due to the similarity of the characteristics, we present the
balance sheet information of these entities on an aggregated basis. None of our consolidated VIEs’ assets have restrictions that limit
their use to settle specific obligations of the VIE. Other than a put option described in “99 Coolidge Avenue” above, there are no
creditors or other partners of our consolidated VIEs that have recourse to our general credit, and our maximum exposure to our
consolidated VIEs is limited to our variable interests in each VIE.
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate joint ventures
Noncontrolling interests represent the third-party interests in consolidated joint ventures in which we have a controlling interest.
Noncontrolling interests are adjusted for additional contributions and distributions, the proportionate share of the net earnings or losses,
and other comprehensive income or loss. Distributions, profits, and losses related to these entities are allocated in accordance with the
respective operating agreements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we distributed $186.8 million and
$179.1 million, respectively, to our consolidated real estate joint venture partners.
In March 2025, we redeemed our partner’s entire noncontrolling interests in three real estate joint ventures in the Greater
Boston market, with a book value aggregating $10.4 million, and recognized $7.0 million of consideration in excess of the book value in
additional paid-in capital.
Unconsolidated real estate joint ventures
Our maximum exposure to our unconsolidated VIEs is limited to our investment in each VIE, except for our 1450 Research
Boulevard and 101 West Dickman Street unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in which we guarantee up to $6.7 million of the
outstanding balance related to each VIE’s secured loan. Our investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, accounted for
under the equity method and classified in investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in our consolidated balance sheets,
consisted of the following as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
