Future Minimum Lease Payments

We currently lease portions of the land underlying two of our office properties. We expensed ground lease payments of $539 thousand and $543 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We have a purchase option in one of these two leases, which we may exercise at any time prior to May 31, 2014 for a purchase price of $27.5 million.  Because we have the ability and the intent to exercise this option, we have excluded payments under this lease from the future minimum rent payments in the table below.  The following is a schedule of our future minimum ground lease payments as of March 31, 2013 (in thousands):
