On April 21, 2023, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 50% interest exercised an option to extend the maturity date of the construction loan collateralized by its 7750 Wisconsin Avenue property. Prior to the extension, the loan had a total commitment amount of approximately $252.6 million, bore interest at a variable rate equal to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.25% per annum and was scheduled to mature on April 26, 2023, with two, one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions.

On June 28, 2023, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 25% interest exercised an option to extend by 30 days the maturity date of the loan collateralized by its 3 Hudson Boulevard property. At the time of the extension, the loan had an outstanding balance of $80.0 million, bore interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum and was scheduled to mature on July 13, 2023, with two extension options (30 days and 180 days, respectively), subject to certain conditions. Following the extension, the modified loan was scheduled to mature on August 13, 2023, with one 180-day extension option, subject to certain conditions. The extended loan continued to bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum for the period from June 28, 2023 through July 6, 2023. For the period commencing on July 7, 2023 through the maturity date, the modified loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to Term SOFR plus approximately 3.61% per annum. On August 11, 2023, the joint venture exercised its second extension option of 180 days. The extended loan now matures on February 9, 2024 (See Note 17). As of December 31, 2023, the loan had approximately $28.0 million of accrued interest due at the maturity date. 3 Hudson Boulevard consists of land and improvements held for future development located in New York, New York. On July 28, 2023, a joint venture in which the Company has a 50% interest modified and exercised an option to extend by one year the maturity date of its loan collateralized by 100 Causeway Street. At the time of the modification and extension, the loan had an outstanding balance totaling approximately $340.6 million, bore interest at Term SOFR plus 1.60% per annum, and was scheduled to mature on September 5, 2023. Following the modification and extension, the loan had an outstanding balance of $336.6 million, which included an approximately $4.0 million principal repayment, bears interest at Term SOFR plus 1.48% per annum, and matures on September 5, 2024, with an additional one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions. 100 Causeway Street is an approximately 634,000 net rentable square foot premier workplace located in Boston, Massachusetts and is approximately 95% leased. On September 1, 2023, a joint venture in which the Company has a 49% interest completed and fully placed in-service 751 Gateway, an approximately 231,000 net rentable square foot laboratory/life sciences project in South San Francisco, California. The property is 100% leased. On September 6, 2023, a joint venture in which the Company has a 50% interest modified the loan collateralized by its Hub on Causeway - Podium property. At the time of the modification, the loan had an outstanding balance of approximately $174.3 million, bore interest at Term SOFR plus 2.35% per annum, and was scheduled to mature on September 6, 2023. Following the modification, the modified loan had an outstanding balance of $154.3 million, which included an approximately $20.0 million principal repayment, bore interest at Daily SOFR plus 2.50% per annum, and matures on September 8, 2025, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions. On September 8, 2023, the joint venture entered into interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts aggregating approximately $154.3 million through September 2, 2025, resulting in a fixed interest rate of approximately 7.35% per annum through the expiration of the interest rate swap contracts. The Hub on Causeway - Podium is an approximately 383,000 net rentable square foot premier workplace located in Boston, Massachusetts and is approximately 94% leased. On September 13, 2023, a joint venture in which the Company owned a 20% equity interest completed the first step of a two-step restructuring of its ownership in Metropolitan Square. The two-step restructuring resulted in (i) an affiliate of the existing mezzanine lender purchasing the property and becoming the new property owner and the Company no longer having an equity interest in the property and (ii) the Company becoming a co-lender of up to $20.0 million under a new $100.0 million mezzanine loan (“New Mezz Loan”). Prior to the restructuring, the property was encumbered by an aggregate of $420.0 million of debt, consisting of a senior loan with an outstanding principal balance of $305.0 million (“Senior Loan”) and the existing $115.0 million mezzanine loan (“Existing Mezz Loan”). The joint venture completed step one of the restructuring on September 13, 2023, resulted in, among other things, (i) the cessation of the Company’s obligation to fund future investments through its then 20% equity interest, which resulted in the recognition of gain on investment of approximately $35.8 million related to its deficit investment balance, which was primarily due to excess distributions, and (ii) the removal of the property from the Company’s in-service portfolio. On October 2, 2023, step two of the restructuring was completed and included (i) the sale of the property, which resulted in a loss on the sale of approximately $1.5 million and assignment of the Senior Loan to the new owner, and (ii) the closing of the New Mezz Loan (See Note 9). In addition, the Company will continue to provide property management and leasing services to the property with the potential to earn additional incentive fees. Metropolitan Square is a 657,000 net rentable square foot premier workplace located at 655 15th Street, NW in the heart of downtown Washington, DC. O n October 31, 2023, a joint venture in which the Company has a 50% interest modified the lease of a third-party hotel developer/operator at its Hub on Causeway – Hotel Air Rights property. The third-party hotel developer/operator paid $4.5 million in connection with this modification to fulfill its obligation to repay the joint venture’s investment. This modification resulted in a reassessment of the lease classification per ASC 842. Based on this reassessment this lease was reclassified as a sales-type lease. The joint venture recorded a sales-type lease receivable of approximately $18.6 million. In addition, the joint venture recorded a gain on sales-type lease of approximately $2.7 million associated with the derecognition of the asset. On December 14, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of its joint venture partner’s 45% ownership interest in the joint venture that owns Santa Monica Business Park for a purchase price of $38.0 million and the Company acquired net working capital, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $20 million. Prior to the acquisition, the Company had a 55% ownership interest in the joint venture and accounted for it under the equity method of accounting. The acquisition resulted in the Company having full ownership of the joint venture such that the Company now accounts for the assets, liabilities, and operations of it on a consolidated basis in its financials statements instead of under the equity method of accounting (See Note 3) and as a result recognized a gain on consolidation of approximately $29.9 million. On December 14, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of its joint venture partner’s approximate 29% ownership interest in the joint venture that owns 360 Park Avenue South for a purchase price of $1, increasing the Company’s ownership in the joint venture to approximately 71%. The Company also assumed the partner’s share of the joint venture’s cash and working capital aggregating approximately $25.4 million, as well as the partner’s share of the outstanding $220.0 million mortgage debt. 360 Park Avenue South, a 20-story, approximately 450,000 square foot premier workplace, is currently under re-development. Impairments The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are reviewed for indicators of impairment on a quarterly basis and the Company records impairment charges when events or circumstances indicate that a decline in the fair values below the carrying amounts has occurred and such decline is other-than-temporary. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company continued to evaluate declining market conditions and underlying key assumptions of certain investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, including the receipt and consideration of certain third-party joint venture property appraisals. Such evaluation of key impairment indicators resulted in the Company determining that the decline in value, for certain joint venture properties, was other-than-temporary and therefore the Company recorded impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2023, as described below. During the year ended December 31, 2023, a joint venture in which the Company has a 55% interest elected to pause vertical construction on Platform 16 in San Jose, California. Platform 16 was planned to be constructed in phases to best accommodate market demand. The first phase of the development project included the construction of an approximately 390,000 net rentable square foot premier workplace building and below-grade parking garage. The joint venture intends to complete the construction of the below-grade parking garage and building foundation elements over the next several months to facilitate a restart of construction in the future as demand improves. Upon electing to pause vertical construction, the Company performed an analysis to determine if there was an other-than temporary impairment. Based on the market rent assumptions and new expected timeline for completion of the project, as of June 30, 2023, the Company concluded there was not an other-than temporary impairment present. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the real estate and leasing conditions in the San Jose, California market continued to deteriorate and the Company further extended its construction pause assumption. These conditions, combined with a decrease in market rent assumptions, resulted in the Company recognizing a non-cash impairment charge totaling approximately $155.2 million, which represented the decline in the fair value below the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated joint venture that owns Platform 16. The Company determined that its investment was categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as it utilized significant unobservable inputs in its assessment, including an exit capitalization rate of 6.0%, and a discount rate of 12.0%.
