Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation and Claims In the normal course of business, we are subject to legal actions and other claims. We record losses for specific legal proceedings and claims when we determine that a loss is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that we could incur losses pursuant to such claims but do not believe such losses would materially affect our financial position, liquidity or results of operations. Our assessment of the potential outcomes of these matters involves significant judgment and is subject to change based on future developments. Environmental We are subject to various Federal, state and local environmental regulations related to our property ownership and operation. We have performed environmental assessments of our properties, the results of which have not revealed any environmental liability that we believe would have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, operations or liquidity. In connection with a lease and subsequent sale in 2008 and 2010 of three properties in Dayton, New Jersey, we agreed to provide certain environmental indemnifications limited to $19 million in the aggregate. We have insurance coverage in place to mitigate much of any potential future losses that may result from these indemnification agreements. Tax Incremental Financing Obligation In August 2010, Anne Arundel County, Maryland issued $30 million in tax incremental financing bonds to third-party investors in order to finance public improvements needed in connection with our project known as National Business Park North. The real estate taxes on increases in assessed value of a development district encompassing National Business Park North are to be transferred to a special fund pledged to the repayment of the bonds. While we are obligated to fund, through a special tax, any future shortfalls between debt service of the bonds and real estate taxes available to repay the bonds, as of December 31, 2018, we do not expect any such future fundings will be required. Operating Leases We are obligated as lessee under operating leases (mostly ground leases) with various expiration dates extending to the year 2100. Future minimum rental payments due under the terms of these operating leases as of December 31, 2018 follow (in thousands):
Year Ending December 31, |  |
2019 |  | $ | 1,320 |
2020 |  | 1,294 |
2021 |  | 1,278 |
2022 |  | 1,164 |
2023 |  | 1,119 |
Thereafter |  | 83,373 |
|  | $ | 89,548 |
Capital Lease On May 25, 2017, we entered into a ground lease on land under development in Washington, DC through our Stevens Investors, LLC joint venture. The lease has a 99-year term, and we possess an option to purchase the property for one dollar (estimated to occur in 2020). Upon inception of the lease, we recorded a $16.1 million capital lease liability on our consolidated balance sheets based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments and have since paid down most of this liability. The remaining capital lease obligation as of December 31, 2018 was $660,000, which is due in 2020. Contractual Obligations We had amounts remaining to be incurred under various contractual obligations as of December 31, 2018 that included the following (excluding amounts incurred and therefore reflected as liabilities reported on our consolidated balance sheets):
• | development and redevelopment obligations of $241.1 million;
• | tenant and other capital improvements of $44.1 million;
• | third party construction obligations of $47.9 million; and
• | other obligations of $1.9 million.
