<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Pre-Funded</FONT> Warrants will not be entitled to exercise any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Pre-Funded</FONT> Warrants if such exercise would permit the holder to exercise more than 19.9% of the voting power of
our outstanding common stock. This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Pre-Funded</FONT> Warrants. The purchase price of each <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Pre-Funded</FONT> Warrant is $2.22, which is equal to the price per share at which shares of our common stock are sold in this offering, minus $0.01, the exercise price per share of each
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Pre-Funded</FONT> Warrant. Each <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Pre-Funded</FONT> Warrant will be exercisable upon issuance and will expire when exercised in full. </P>

in complying with certain federal income tax requirements applicable to REITs, our charter contains certain restrictions relating to the ownership and transfer of our common stock, including an ownership limit of 9.8% (in value or in number of
shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Our board of directors may, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive one or more of the ownership limits with respect to a particular person under certain
circumstances. See &#147;Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer&#148; in the accompanying prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:8pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our common stock is listed on the New

Properties, L.P. is a Maryland limited partnership of which we are the sole general partner and to which we refer in this prospectus supplement as &#147;our operating partnership.&#148; References in this prospectus supplement to our revolving

basis, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the United States of America, or GAAP, plus our operating partnership&#146;s share of the measure from our
unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon our operating partnership&#146;s percentage ownership interest), minus our partners&#146; share of the measure from our consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners&#146;
percentage ownership interests). We believe that presenting HPP&#146;s share of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and/or results of operations because we have several significant joint
ventures, and in some cases, we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the joint venture. In such instances, GAAP requires us to account for the joint venture entity using the equity method of accounting, which we do not
consolidate for financial reporting purposes. In other cases, GAAP requires us to consolidate the venture even though our partner(s) own(s) a significant percentage interest. As a result, management believes that presenting HPP&#146;s share of
various financial measures in this manner can help investors better understand our financial condition and/or results of operations after taking into account our true economic interest in these joint ventures. </I></P>

ABR, was derived from public companies, private companies that have operated for 10 or more years, and private companies with less than 10 years operations, respectively. As of March&nbsp;31, 2025, 40% of HPP&#146;s share of ABR was derived from
tenants that are, or have parent entities that are, investment-grade rated, and of HPP&#146;s share of ABR derived from public company tenants, 75% was derived from tenants that are, or have parent entities that are, investment-grade rated. Based on
ABR, HPP&#146;s share of the weighted average lease term was approximately five years. We calculate ABR for office properties by multiplying (i)&nbsp;cash base rents under commenced leases, excluding tenant reimbursements, as of March&nbsp;31, 2025
by (ii) 12. For studio properties, ABR represents actual base rent for the 12 months ended March&nbsp;31, 2025, excluding tenant reimbursements. </P>

the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024, we had net loss of $381.4&nbsp;million and HPP&#146;s share of net operating income, or NOI, of approximately $338.0&nbsp;million, of which 40%, 23%, 17%, 17% and 3% was derived from our operations in the
Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver markets, respectively. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities or cash flows as measured by generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;) and should not be considered an alternative to net income, as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or our ability to make distributions. All companies may
not calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be a useful performance measure to investors and management because when compared across periods, NOI reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our
properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We calculate NOI as net income (loss) excluding corporate general and
administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains/losses on sales of real estate, interest expense, transaction-related expenses and other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-operating</FONT> items. We define NOI as
operating revenues (including rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (which includes external management fees, if any, and property-level general and
administrative expenses). For a reconciliation of NOI to net income, see &#147;Certain Results of Operations, Financial Condition and Other Data.&#148; </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2025, we executed new and renewal leases for approximately 630,000 square feet, representing a
year-over-year increase of 24% in square feet and the highest quarterly leasing activity since the second quarter of 2022. Of such 630,000 square feet, 66% was for new leases. Although we can provide no assurance that lease transactions in our
pipeline will be completed on expected terms or at all, as of March&nbsp;31, 2025, we had given tours for an aggregate of 1.7&nbsp;million square feet, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 18%, and we have leases, letters of intent or proposals
covering an aggregate of approximately 2.1&nbsp;million square feet, with 34% of such space comprised of late stage deals and new deals comprising 83% of such space. In addition, as of March&nbsp;31, 2025, we have seen increases in technology

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the first quarter of 2025, we secured a commercial mortgaged-backed securities loan for total gross proceeds of $475.0&nbsp;million (the
&#147;Office Portfolio CMBS&#148;). We used the proceeds from the loan to repay $259.0&nbsp;million on our unsecured revolving credit facility and to repay the $168.0&nbsp;million loan secured by the Element LA property. As of March&nbsp;31, 2025,
HPP&#146;s share of near-term debt maturities consist of $432&nbsp;million due in the fourth quarter of 2025, $704&nbsp;million due in the second half of 2026 and $596&nbsp;million due in 2027. Of such amounts, 49% are secured by assets with
significant weighted-average lease terms remaining and high occupancy, and none of the office assets securing such loans was less than 90% leased. As of May&nbsp;9, 2025, using additional borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, we
repaid our Series B, Series C and Series D notes in full. As of June&nbsp;4, 2025, we had approximately $326.8&nbsp;million of liquidity, including approximately $265.0&nbsp;million of undrawn capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility
and $61.8&nbsp;million of cash and cash equivalents at HPP&#146;s share. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Management believes that, following this offering, a potential
rebound in office and studio leasing, along with an uplift in studio performance could improve our key leverage metrics in the medium- to long-term. Management&#146;s objective is to obtain a target leverage ratio of approximately 7.5x to 8.5x
(inclusive of the liquidation preference on our 4.750% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or our Series C preferred stock, and Series A preferred units) in a multi-year strategy. Management believes that
certain drivers that may help strengthen these metrics include stabilization of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-service</FONT> office occupancy, same-store studio occupancy, and occupancy for certain core assets. </P>

studio portfolios. As part of this process, we are taking steps designed to achieve an additional $9.0 to $10.0&nbsp;million of annual general and administrative expense savings, updating our full-year 2025 general and administrative expense outlook
to a range of $58.0 to $63.0&nbsp;million. As part of this undertaking, the Company&#146;s top three named executive officers have elected to forfeit their 2024 performance unit equity awards, resulting in $14.3&nbsp;million of total general and
administrative savings, approximately $4.9&nbsp;million of which will be realized in 2025, with the remaining savings occurring over the next three years. The company has also reduced fees for its board of directors by approximately 30%, equivalent
to another $0.5&nbsp;million of annual savings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on these savings, commencing as of next year, we currently project a full-year

<TD>Our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our stock that are intended to assist us in complying with the requirements for qualification as a REIT. Among other things, our charter provides that, subject to certain
exceptions, no person or entity may actually or beneficially own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. Our board of directors may, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive one or more of the ownership limits with respect to a particular person, and may establish a different limit on ownership for that person,
under certain circumstances. See &#147;Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer&#148; in the accompanying prospectus. Our board of directors intends to approve a 19.9% ownership limit for the investor, solely for &#147;beneficial ownership&#148;
purposes under the Exchange Act, but the investor will otherwise remain subject to the ownership limits described above. </TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

represents net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDAre represents EBITDA before the Company&#146;s share interest and depreciation from unconsolidated real estate entities. Adjusted EBITDAre represents EBITDAre
as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain non-cash items and items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing performance. We believe that EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are useful because they allow investors and
management to evaluate and compare our performance from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner, in addition to standard financial measurements under GAAP. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are not measurements of financial
performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to income attributable to common shareholders, as indicators of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA,
EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, accordingly, comparability may be limited. </P></TD></TR></TABLE>

secured debt, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and partners&#146; share of debt. We calculated HPP&#146;s share of debt, net and preferred by adding the liquidation preference on our preferred stock and units. HPP&#146;s share of
debt, net to HPP&#146;s share of cash adjusted EBITDAre for selected ratios is calculated using HPP&#146;s share of debt, net as of period end divided by HPP&#146;s share of cash adjusted EBITDAre for selected ratios. We use this ratio to evaluate
our capital structure and financial leverage. This ratio is also commonly used in our industry, and we believe it provides investors, lenders and rating agencies a meaningful supplemental measure of our ability to repay and service our debt
obligations. Other REITs may also calculate this ratio or other similarly-captioned metrics in a manner different than we do. </P></TD></TR></TABLE>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Until the distribution of the shares of common stock is completed, the Securities and Exchange Commission&#146;s rules may limit underwriters
and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our common stock. However, the representatives may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include
short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering.
&#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters&#146; option to purchase additional shares in the offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to
purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the
open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through their option. &#147;Naked&#148; short sales are sales in excess of their option to purchase additional shares. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by
purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely
affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the
underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters&#146; purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or
maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The
underwriters may conduct these transactions on the NYSE, in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or otherwise. </P>

transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the representatives will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once
commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Shares </B></P>

activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have
a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which
consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in
respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, consolidate,
convert into another type of entity, sell all or substantially all of its assets or engage in a statutory share exchange unless declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at
least <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter) is set forth in the
corporation&#146;s charter. The Company&#146;s charter provides for the approval of these matters by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, except for the limited rights of holders of series C preferred stock described below
under the heading &#147;Description of Preferred Stock&#151;Series C Preferred Stock&#148; to approve certain amendments to the Company&#146;s charter, and except that the approval of stockholders entitled to cast at least <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of all of the votes entitled to be cast is required to remove a director or to amend the removal provisions of the Company&#146;s charter or the vote required to amend such provisions. Holders of
outstanding shares of series C preferred stock and the holders of all outstanding shares of any other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">similarly-affected</FONT> class or series of parity preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been
conferred, voting together as a single class, have the exclusive right to vote on any amendment to the Company&#146;s charter on which holders of the Company&#146;s series C preferred stock are entitled to vote and that would alter only the contract
rights, as expressly set forth in the Company&#146;s charter, of the series C preferred stock and any such other class or series of parity preferred stock, and the holders of any other class or series of the Company&#146;s stock, including the
Company&#146;s common stock, will not be entitled to vote on such an amendment. Maryland law also permits a corporation to transfer all or substantially all of its assets without the approval of its stockholders to an entity all of the equity
interests of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation. Because the Company&#146;s operating assets may be held by our operating partnership or its wholly owned subsidiaries, these subsidiaries may be able to merge or transfer all
or substantially all of such assets without the approval of the Company&#146;s stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s charter authorizes the Company&#146;s

cause the Company to issue such classified or reclassified shares will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs that might arise. Subject to the rights of holders of
series C preferred stock to approve the classification or issuance of shares, or increase in the number of authorized shares, of a class or series of the Company&#146;s stock ranking senior to the series C preferred stock, the additional classes or
series of common stock, as well as the additional authorized shares of common stock, will be available for issuance without further action by the Company&#146;s stockholders unless such action is required by the terms of any class or series of the
Company&#146;s stock that may be issued in the future or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company&#146;s securities may be listed or traded. Although the Company&#146;s board of directors does not currently
intend to do so, it could authorize the Company to issue a class or series of stock that could, depending upon the terms of the particular class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of the Company that might
involve a premium price for the Company&#146;s common stock or that the Company&#146;s common stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests. See &#147;Material Provisions of Maryland Law and of The Company&#146;s Charter and <FONT

the Company&#146;s preferred stock. For a more detailed description of these securities, you should read the applicable provisions of the MGCL and the Company&#146;s charter and bylaws. When the Company offers to sell a particular class or series of
preferred stock, the Company will describe the specific terms of the series in a prospectus supplement. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, you must refer to both the prospectus supplement relating
to that class or series and the description of preferred stock in this prospectus. To the extent the information contained in the prospectus supplement differs from this summary description, you should rely on the information in the prospectus
supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s charter provides that the Company may issue up to 18,400,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, or

Company&#146;s stockholders, to amend the Company&#146;s charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or, subject to the rights of holders of series C preferred stock to approve any increase in the number of shares of a

Company&#146;s board of directors is required by the MGCL and the Company&#146;s charter to set, subject to the rights of holders of the Company&#146;s series C preferred stock and any other class or series of the Company&#146;s stock and the

distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of each such class or series. As a result, the Company&#146;s board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock that have priority over shares of the

unissued shares of the Company&#146;s preferred stock and thereafter to cause the Company to issue such classified or reclassified shares will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in
meeting other needs that might arise. Subject to the rights of holders of series C preferred stock to approve the classification or issuance of shares, or increase in the number of authorized shares, of a class or series of the Company&#146;s stock
ranking senior to the series C preferred stock, the additional classes or series of preferred stock, as well as the additional authorized shares of preferred stock, will be available for issuance without further action by the Company&#146;s
stockholders unless such action is required by the terms of any class or series of the Company&#146;s stock that may be issued in the future or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company&#146;s securities may
be listed or traded. Although the Company&#146;s board of directors does not currently intend to do so, it could authorize the Company to issue a class or series of stock that could, depending upon the terms of the particular class or series, delay,
defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of the Company that might involve a premium price for the Company&#146;s preferred stock or that the Company&#146;s preferred stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests. See

depositary shares, or depositary receipts. Depositary receipts will be delivered to those persons purchasing depositary shares in the offering. The depositary will be the transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent for the depositary
shares. Holders of depositary receipts agree to be bound by the deposit agreement, which requires holders to take certain actions such as filing proof of residence and paying certain charges. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The summary of the terms of the depositary shares contained in this prospectus does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its

dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the series of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares to the record holders of depositary receipts in proportion to the number of depositary shares owned by such holders on
the relevant record date, which will be the same date as the record date fixed by us for the applicable series of preferred stock. The depositary, however, will distribute only such amount as can be distributed without attributing to any depositary
share a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributed will be added to and treated as part of the next sum received by the depositary for distribution to record holders of depositary receipts then outstanding. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event of a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary receipts
entitled thereto, in proportion, as nearly as may be practicable, to the number of depositary shares owned by such holders on the relevant record date, unless the depositary determines (after consultation with us) that it is not feasible to make
such distribution, in which case the depositary may (with our approval) adopt any other method for such distribution as it deems equitable and appropriate, including the sale of such property (at such place or places and upon such terms as it may
deem equitable and appropriate) and distribution of the net proceeds from such sale to such holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Liquidation Preference </B></P>

share will be entitled to the fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each share of the applicable series of preferred stock as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>

by the applicable series of depositary shares is redeemable, such depositary shares will be redeemed from the proceeds received by the depositary resulting from the redemption, in whole or in part, of the preferred stock held by the depositary.
Whenever we redeem any preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing the shares of preferred stock so redeemed. The depositary will mail the notice of
redemption promptly upon receipt of such notice from us and not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of the preferred stock and the depositary shares to the record holders of the depositary receipts. </P>

entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the number of shares of preferred stock represented by such record holder&#146;s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to
vote such preferred stock represented by such depositary shares in accordance with such instructions, and we will agree to take all action which may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary

depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole shares of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to such holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing such excess
number of depositary shares. Holders of preferred stock thus withdrawn will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such shares under the deposit agreement or to receive depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares therefor. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The following summary with respect to restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company&#146;s stock sets forth certain general terms and provisions of
the Company&#146;s charter documents to which any prospectus supplement may relate. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company&#146;s charter documents, as amended and
supplemented from time to time, including any articles supplementary relating to any class or series of preferred stock offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus. Copies of the Company&#146;s existing charter documents are filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Any amendment or supplement to the Company&#146;s charter documents relating to an issuance of
securities pursuant to this prospectus shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the applicable prospectus supplement. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information;
Incorporation by reference.&#148; </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the
Company&#146;s stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made) or during a proportionate part of a shorter
taxable year. Also, not more than 50% of the value of the outstanding shares of the Company&#146;s stock (after taking into account certain options to acquire shares of stock) may be owned, directly, indirectly or through attribution, by five or
fewer individuals (for this purpose, the term &#147;individual&#148; includes a supplemental unemployment compensation benefit plan, a private foundation or a portion of a trust permanently set aside or used exclusively for charitable purposes, but
generally does not include a qualified pension plan or profit sharing trust) at any time during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of the Company&#146;s common stock and capital stock that are intended to
assist the Company in complying with these requirements and continuing to qualify as a REIT. The relevant sections&nbsp;of the Company&#146;s charter provide that, subject to the exceptions described below, no person or entity may actually or
beneficially own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of the Company&#146;s common
stock or series C preferred stock, excluding any shares of common stock that are not treated as outstanding for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or more than 9.8% (in value) of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of all classes and series of
the Company&#146;s capital stock. We refer to each of these restrictions as an &#147;ownership limit&#148; and collectively as the &#147;ownership limits.&#148; A person or entity that would have acquired actual, beneficial or constructive ownership
of the Company&#146;s stock but for the application of the ownership limits or any of the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company&#146;s stock discussed below is referred to as a &#147;prohibited owner.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The constructive ownership rules under the Code are complex and may cause stock owned actually or constructively by a group of related individuals and/or
entities to be owned constructively by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% of the Company&#146;s common stock (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or constructively, the
Company&#146;s common stock) by an individual or entity could, nevertheless, cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to own constructively in excess of 9.8% in value or in number of shares (whichever is more restrictive) of
the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock, and thereby violate the applicable ownership limit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s board of directors may, in its sole

violation (rounded up to the nearest whole share) will be automatically transferred to, and held by, a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable organizations selected by the Company. The prohibited owner will have no rights in
shares of the Company&#146;s stock held by the trustee. The automatic transfer will be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the violative transfer or other event that results in the transfer to the trust.
Any dividend or other distribution paid to the prohibited owner, prior to the Company&#146;s discovery that the shares had been automatically transferred to a trust as described above, must be repaid to the trustee upon demand. If the transfer to
the trust as described above is not automatically effective, for any reason, to prevent violation of the applicable ownership limit or the Company being &#147;closely held&#148; (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the
last half of a taxable year) or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, then the transfer of the number of shares that otherwise would cause any person to violate the above restrictions will be void. If any transfer of the Company&#146;s stock would
result in shares of the Company&#146;s stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), then any such purported transfer will be void and of no force or effect and the intended

to the prohibited owner and owed by the prohibited owner to the trustee. The Company will pay the amount of such reduction to the trustee for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. The Company has the right to accept such offer until the trustee
has sold the shares of the stock of the Company held in the trust. Upon a sale to the Company, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold terminates and the trustee must distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the prohibited

prohibited owner by the amount of dividends and other distributions paid to the prohibited owner and owed by the prohibited owner to the trustee. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the prohibited owner will be immediately paid
to the charitable beneficiary, together with any dividends or other distributions thereon. In addition, if, prior to discovery by the Company that shares of its stock have been transferred to the trustee, such shares of stock are sold by a
prohibited owner, then such shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the trust and, to the extent that the prohibited owner received an amount for or in respect of such shares that exceeds the amount that such prohibited owner was

directly or through subsidiaries. The Company is the general partner of our operating partnership, and, as of December&nbsp;31, 2024, the Company owns approximately 95.2% of the ownership interest in our operating partnership (including unvested
restricted units). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain persons who contributed interests in properties and/or other assets pursuant to the formation transactions related to the
Company&#146;s initial public offering received common units of partnership interest in our operating partnership or 6.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Partnership Units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, which we
refer to as common units and series A preferred units, respectively. Holders of common units are generally entitled to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, our operating partnership in proportion to their respective
percentage interests of common units if and to the extent authorized by us and subject to the preferential rights of holders of outstanding preferred units, including series A preferred units and 4.750% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units
of partnership interest in our operating partnership, which we refer to as series C preferred units. Series A preferred units rank senior to any other partnership interest and holders of series A units are entitled to receive preferential cash
distributions, a liquidation preference in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of our operating partnership (but only to the extent consistent with a liquidation in accordance with positive
capital account balances), as well as certain conversion and redemption rights as described below in &#147;&#151;Material Terms of Our Operating Partnership&#146;s Series A Preferred Units.&#148; Series C preferred units rank junior to the series A
preferred units and senior to the common units and, subject to the rights of holders of series A preferred units, holders of series C preferred units are entitled to receive preferential cash distributions and a liquidation preference in the event
of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of our operating partnership that are substantially similar to those of the series C preferred stock (but, in the case of distributions upon the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of our operating partnership, only to the extent consistent with a liquidation in accordance with positive capital account balances). Series C preferred units are also subject to redemption by our operating
partnership in connection with our reacquisition of shares of series C preferred stock. See &#147;Description of Preferred Stock&#151;Series C Preferred Stock.&#148; Our operating partnership is also authorized to issue classes of partnership units
designated as LTIP units and performance units, respectively, each having the terms described below. The units of partnership interest in our operating partnership of any class or series are not listed on any exchange or quoted on any national

complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland law and the Company&#146;s charter and bylaws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See &#147;Where
You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.&#148; </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Company&#146;s Board of Directors </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s charter and bylaws provide that the number of directors of the Company may be established, increased or decreased only by a majority of the
Company&#146;s entire board of directors but may not be fewer than the minimum number required under the MGCL nor, unless the Company&#146;s bylaws are amended, more than 15. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At each annual meeting of the Company&#146;s stockholders, the stockholders will elect each of the Company&#146;s directors to serve until the next annual
meeting of the Company&#146;s stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies under the MGCL. Holders of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock will have no right to cumulative voting in the election of directors. In
uncontested elections, directors are elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes cast &#147;for&#148; and &#147;against&#148; each director nominee. In contested elections, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.
An election will be considered to be contested if the Company&#146;s secretary has received notice that a stockholder has nominated or proposes to nominate one or more persons for election as a director, which notice complies or purports to comply
with the requirements for advance notice of stockholder nominations set forth in the Company&#146;s bylaws, and the nomination or proposed nomination has not been withdrawn at least 14 days prior to the date that the Company&#146;s proxy statement
with respect to the meeting at which such nomination or proposed nomination would be made is first released to stockholders and would thereby cause the number of nominees and proposed nominees to exceed the number of directors to be elected at the
meeting, irrespective of whether such notice complies with the requirements for advance notice of stockholder nominations set forth in the Company&#146;s bylaws or such nomination or proposed nomination is thereafter withdrawn by such stockholder.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has elected by a provision of its charter to be subject to a provision of Maryland law requiring that, except as otherwise provided in the
terms of any class or series of the Company&#146;s stock, vacancies on the Company&#146;s board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors and that any individual elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full
term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Removal of Directors
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s charter provides that, subject to the rights of holders of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect or remove one
or more directors, a director may be removed only for cause (as defined in the Company&#146;s charter) and only by the affirmative vote of at least <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the
election of directors. This provision, when coupled with the exclusive power of the Company&#146;s board of directors to fill vacant directorships, may preclude stockholders from removing incumbent directors and filling the vacancies created by such

as expressed in private letter rulings that are not binding on the IRS except with respect to the particular taxpayers who requested and received those rulings. The sections of the Code and the corresponding Treasury Regulations that relate to
qualification and taxation as a REIT are highly technical and complex. The following discussion sets forth certain material aspects of the sections of the Code that govern the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a REIT and its stockholders and the
holders of our operating partnership&#146;s debt securities. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the applicable Code provisions, Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof.
Potential tax reforms may result in significant changes to the rules governing U.S. federal income taxation. New legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations and practices and/or court decisions may significantly and adversely
affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of such qualification, or the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our capital stock or our operating partnership&#146;s debt securities, including
those described in this discussion. Moreover, the law relating to the tax treatment of other entities, or an investment in other entities, could change, making an investment in such other entities more attractive relative to an investment in a REIT.
Any such changes could apply retroactively to transactions preceding the date of the change. We have not requested, and do not plan to request, any rulings from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this prospectus are not binding
on the IRS or any court. Thus, we can provide no assurance that the tax considerations contained in this discussion will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained by a court if challenged by the IRS. This summary does not discuss any state,
local or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> tax consequences, or any tax consequences arising under any U.S. federal tax laws other than U.S. federal income tax laws, associated with the purchase, ownership or disposition of our

commencing with such taxable year, and we intend to continue to be organized and operate in this manner. However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including
through actual operating results, asset composition, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we have been organized and have operated, or will continue to be organized and operate, in a

qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and our proposed method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. It must be emphasized that this opinion was based
on various assumptions and representations as to factual matters, including representations made by us in a factual certificate provided by one of our officers. In addition, this opinion was based upon our factual representations set forth in this
prospectus. Moreover, our qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, which are discussed below, including through actual operating results, asset composition,
distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership, the results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that our actual results of operations for any particular
taxable year have satisfied or will satisfy those requirements. Further, the anticipated U.S. federal income tax treatment described herein may be changed, perhaps retroactively, by legislative, administrative or judicial action at any time.
Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP has no obligation to update its opinion subsequent to the date of such opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT,

in an exchange under Section&nbsp;1031 (a like-kind exchange) or Section&nbsp;1033 (an involuntary conversion) of the Code generally is excluded from the application of this <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">built-in</FONT> gains tax.

In the case of a REIT that is a partner in a partnership (for purposes of this discussion, references to &#147;partnership&#148; include a limited liability company treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and references to
&#147;partner&#148; include a member in such a limited liability company), Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT will be deemed to own its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership based on its interest in partnership capital,
subject to special rules relating to the 10% asset test described below. Also, the REIT will be deemed to be entitled to its proportionate share of the income of that entity. The assets and gross income of the partnership retain the same character
in the hands of the REIT for purposes of Section&nbsp;856 of the Code, including satisfying the gross income tests and the asset tests. Thus, our pro rata share of the assets and items of income of our operating partnership, including our operating
partnership&#146;s share of these items of any partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which it owns an interest, is treated as our assets and items of income for purposes of applying the requirements described in
this discussion, including the gross income and asset tests described below. A brief summary of the rules governing the U.S. federal income taxation of partnerships is set forth below in &#147;&#151;Tax Aspects of Our Operating Partnership and the
Subsidiary Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have control of our operating partnership and the subsidiary partnerships and intend to
operate them in a manner consistent with the requirements for our qualification as a REIT. If we become a limited partner or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-managing</FONT> member in any partnership and such entity takes or expects to take
actions that could jeopardize our status as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose of our interest in such entity. In addition, it is possible that a partnership could take an action which could cause us to fail a gross income
or asset test, and that we would not become aware of such action in time to dispose of our interest in the partnership or take other corrective action on a timely basis. In such a case, we could fail to qualify as a REIT unless we were entitled to
relief, as described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may from time to time own and operate certain properties through wholly-owned subsidiaries that we intend to be treated as
&#147;qualified REIT subsidiaries&#148; under the Code. A corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will qualify as our qualified REIT subsidiary if we own 100% of the corporation&#146;s outstanding
stock and do not elect with the subsidiary to treat it as a &#147;taxable REIT subsidiary,&#148; as described below. A qualified REIT subsidiary is not treated as a separate corporation, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit of a qualified REIT subsidiary are treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the parent REIT for all purposes under the Code, including all REIT qualification tests. Thus, in
applying the U.S. federal income tax requirements described in this discussion, any qualified REIT subsidiaries we own are ignored, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of such corporations are treated as
our assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit. A qualified REIT subsidiary is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, and our ownership of the stock of a qualified REIT subsidiary will not violate the restrictions on
ownership of securities, as described below under &#147;&#151;Asset Tests.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Ownership of Interests in Taxable REIT Subsidiaries</I>. We
indirectly own interests in companies that have elected, together with us, to be treated as our taxable REIT subsidiaries, and we may acquire securities in additional taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. A taxable REIT subsidiary is a
corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a taxable REIT
subsidiary. If a taxable REIT subsidiary owns more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of another corporation, such other corporation will also be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Other than some activities
relating to lodging and health care facilities, a taxable REIT subsidiary may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-customary</FONT> services to tenants of its parent REIT. A
taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to U.S. federal income tax as a regular C corporation. A REIT is not treated as holding the assets of a taxable REIT subsidiary or as receiving any income that the taxable REIT subsidiary earns. Rather, the stock
issued by the taxable REIT subsidiary is an asset in the hands of the REIT, and the REIT generally recognizes as income the dividends, if any, that it receives from the taxable REIT subsidiary. A REIT&#146;s

investments described above or dividends, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of stock or securities, or from any combination of the foregoing. For these purposes, the term &#147;interest&#148; generally does not include any amount

or as limited partners exercise any redemption/exchange rights. Also, after initially meeting the asset tests at the close of any quarter, we will not lose our status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the asset tests at the end of a later quarter

exchange that is later determined to be taxable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, our REIT taxable income will be reduced by any taxes we are required to pay on any gain we
recognize from the disposition of any asset we acquired from a corporation that is or has been a C corporation in a transaction in which our tax basis in the asset is less than the fair market value of the asset, in each case determined as of the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as provided below, a taxpayer&#146;s deduction for net business interest expense will generally be limited to 30% of its taxable income, as adjusted
for certain items of income, gain, deduction or loss. Any business interest deduction that is disallowed due to this limitation may be carried forward to future taxable years, subject to special rules applicable to partnerships. If we or any of our
subsidiary partnerships (including our operating partnership) are subject to this interest expense limitation, our REIT taxable income for a taxable year may be increased. Taxpayers that conduct certain real estate businesses may elect not to have
this interest expense limitation apply to them, provided that they use an alternative depreciation system to depreciate certain property. We believe that we or any of our subsidiary partnerships that are subject to this interest expense limitation
will be eligible to make this election. If such election is made, although we or such subsidiary partnership, as applicable, would not be subject to the interest expense limitation described above, depreciation deductions may be reduced and, as a

these distributions relate to the prior year for purposes of the 90% distribution requirement. In order to be taken into account for purposes of our distribution requirement, except as provided
below, the amount distributed must not be preferential&#151;<I>i.e.</I>, every stockholder of the class of stock to which a distribution is made must be treated the same as every other stockholder of that class, and no class of stock may be treated
other than according to its dividend rights as a class. This preferential dividend limitation will not apply to distributions made by us, provided we qualify as a &#147;publicly offered REIT.&#148; We believe that we are, and expect we will continue
to be, a publicly offered REIT. However, Subsidiary REITs we may own from time to time may not be publicly offered REITs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To the extent that we do not
distribute all of our net capital gain, or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our REIT taxable income, as adjusted, we will be required to pay regular U.S. federal corporate income tax on the undistributed amount. We believe that we
have made, and we intend to continue to make, timely distributions sufficient to satisfy these annual distribution requirements and to minimize our corporate tax obligations. In this regard, the partnership agreement of our operating partnership
authorizes us, as the general partner of our operating partnership, to take such steps as may be necessary to cause our operating partnership to distribute to its partners an amount sufficient to permit us to meet these distribution requirements and
to minimize our corporate tax obligation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that our REIT taxable income will be less than our cash flow because of depreciation and other <FONT

above. However, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet these distribution requirements due to timing differences between the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible expenses, and the
inclusion of income and deduction of expenses in determining our taxable income. In addition, we may decide to retain our cash, rather than distribute it, in order to repay debt or for other reasons. If these timing differences occur, we may borrow
funds to pay dividends or pay dividends in the form of taxable stock distributions in order to meet the distribution requirements, while preserving our cash. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under some circumstances, we may be able to rectify an inadvertent failure to meet the 90% distribution requirement for a year by paying &#147;deficiency
dividends&#148; to our stockholders in a later year, which may be included in our deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. In that case, we may be able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends, subject to the 4%
excise tax described below. However, we will be required to pay interest to the IRS based upon the amount of any deduction claimed for deficiency dividends. While the payment of a deficiency dividend will apply to a prior year for purposes of our
REIT distribution requirements, it will be treated as an additional distribution to our stockholders in the year such dividend is paid. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, if a
dividend a Subsidiary REIT has paid is treated as a preferential dividend, in lieu of treating the dividend as not counting toward satisfying the 90% distribution requirement, the IRS may provide a remedy to cure such failure if the IRS determines
that such failure is (or is of a type that is) inadvertent or due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Furthermore, we will be required to
pay a 4% excise tax to the extent we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of 85% of our ordinary income for such year, 95% of our capital gain net income for the year and any undistributed taxable income from prior periods.
Any ordinary income and net capital gain on which U.S. federal corporate income tax is imposed for any year is treated as an amount distributed during that year for purposes of calculating this excise tax. </P>

corporations or entities and, in connection with such acquisitions, we may succeed to the historical tax attributes and liabilities of such entities. For example, if we acquire a C corporation and subsequently dispose of its assets within five years
of the acquisition, we could be required to pay the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">built-in</FONT> gain tax described above under &#147;&#151;General.&#148; In addition, in order to qualify as a REIT, at the end of any taxable year, we must not
have any earnings and profits accumulated in a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-REIT</FONT> year. As a result, if we acquire a C corporation, we must distribute the corporation&#146;s earnings and profits accumulated prior to the acquisition
before the end of the taxable year in which we acquire the corporation. We also could be required to pay the acquired entity&#146;s unpaid taxes even though such liabilities arose prior to the time we acquired the entity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Moreover, we or one of our subsidiaries may from time to time acquire other REITs through a merger or acquisition. If any such REIT failed to qualify as a
REIT for any of its taxable years, such REIT would be liable for (and we or our subsidiary, as applicable, as the surviving corporation in the merger or acquisition, would be obligated to pay) regular U.S. federal corporate income tax on its taxable
income for such taxable years. In addition, if such REIT was a C corporation at the time of the merger or acquisition, the tax consequences described in the preceding paragraph generally would apply. If such REIT failed to qualify as a REIT for any
of its taxable years, but qualified as a REIT at the time of such merger or acquisition, and we acquired such REIT&#146;s assets in a transaction in which our tax basis in the assets of such REIT is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to
such REIT&#146;s tax basis in such assets, we generally would be subject to tax on the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">built-in</FONT> gain on each asset of such REIT as described above if we were to dispose of the asset in a taxable transaction
during the five-year period following such REIT&#146;s requalification as a REIT, subject to certain exceptions. Moreover, even if such REIT qualified as a REIT at all relevant times, we would similarly be liable for other unpaid taxes (if any) of
such REIT (such as the 100% tax on gains from any sales treated as &#147;prohibited transactions&#148; as described above under &#147;&#151;Prohibited Transaction Income&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Furthermore, after our acquisition of another corporation or entity, the asset and income tests will apply to all of our assets, including the assets we
acquire from such corporation or entity, and to all of our income, including the income derived from the assets we acquire from such corporation or entity. As a result, the nature of the assets that we acquire from such corporation or entity and the
income we derive from those assets may have an effect on our tax status as a REIT. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Failure to Qualify </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we discover a violation of a provision of the Code that would result in our failure to qualify as a REIT, certain specified cure provisions may be available

generally impose a $50,000 penalty for each violation in lieu of a loss of REIT status. If we fail to satisfy the requirements for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, and the relief provisions do not apply, we will be required to pay regular
U.S. federal corporate income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income. Distributions to stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT will not be deductible by us. As a result, we anticipate that

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Tax Aspects of Our Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>General.</I> All of our investments are held indirectly through our operating partnership. In addition, our operating partnership holds certain of its
investments indirectly through subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies that we believe have been and will continue to be treated as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, entities that
are treated as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes are &#147;pass-through&#148; entities which are not required to pay U.S. federal income tax. Rather, partners of such partnerships are allocated their shares of
the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the partnership, and are potentially required to pay tax on this income, without regard to whether they receive a distribution from the partnership. We will include in our income our share of
these partnership items for purposes of the various gross income tests, the computation of our REIT taxable income, and the REIT distribution requirements. Moreover, for purposes of the asset tests, we will include our pro rata share of assets held
by our operating partnership, including its share of the assets of its subsidiary partnerships, based on our capital interests in each such entity. See &#147;&#151;Taxation of Our Company&#151;General&#151;Ownership of Interests in Partnerships,
Limited Liability Companies and Qualified REIT Subsidiaries.&#148; A disregarded entity is not treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of a
disregarded entity are treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of its parent that is not a disregarded entity (e.g., our operating partnership) for all purposes under the Code, including all REIT
qualification tests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Entity Classification.</I> Our interests in our operating partnership and the subsidiary partnerships and limited liability
companies involve special tax considerations, including the possibility that the IRS might challenge the status of these entities as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For example, an entity that would
otherwise be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may nonetheless be taxable as a corporation if it is a &#147;publicly traded partnership&#148; and certain other requirements are met. A partnership would be treated as a
publicly traded partnership if its interests are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or a substantial equivalent thereof, within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations. We do not
anticipate that our operating partnership or any subsidiary partnership will be treated as a publicly traded partnership that is taxable as a corporation. However, if any such entity were treated as a corporation, it would be required to pay an
entity-level tax on its income. In this situation, the character of our assets and items of gross income would change and could prevent us from satisfying the REIT asset tests and possibly the REIT income tests. See &#147;&#151;Asset Tests&#148; and
&#147;&#151;Income Tests.&#148; This, in turn, could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT. See &#147;&#151;Failure to Qualify&#148; for a discussion of the effect of our failure to meet these tests. In addition, a change in the tax status of our
operating partnership or a subsidiary treated as a partnership or disregarded entity to a corporation might be treated as a taxable event. If so, we might incur a tax liability without any related cash payment. We believe our operating partnership
and each of the subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies have been and will continue to be treated as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </P>

expect to contribute the net proceeds from such issuance to the operating partnership in exchange for a new class of preferred units, which will be entitled to allocations of net income in accordance with their terms. Any remaining net income will
be allocated to holders of common units, subject to certain special allocations with respect to LTIP units and performance units. Allocations to holders of common units will generally be made proportionately to all such holders in respect of such
units. If an allocation of partnership income or loss does not comply with the requirements of Section&nbsp;704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the item subject to the allocation will be reallocated in accordance with the
partners&#146; interests in the partnership. This reallocation will be determined by taking into account all of the facts and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the partners with respect to such item. The allocations of taxable

attributable to appreciated or depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated in a manner so that the contributing partner is charged with the unrealized gain or benefits
from the unrealized loss associated with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of the unrealized gain or unrealized loss generally is equal to the difference between the fair market value or book value and the adjusted tax basis
of the contributed property at the time of contribution (this difference is referred to as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">book-tax</FONT> difference), as adjusted from time to time. These allocations are solely for U.S. federal income tax
purposes and do not affect the book capital accounts or other economic or legal arrangements among the partners. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our operating partnership may, from time

Section&nbsp;704(c) of the Code provide partnerships with a choice of several methods of accounting for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">book-tax</FONT> differences. Depending on the method we choose in connection with any particular contribution,
the carryover basis of each of the contributed interests in the properties in the hands of our operating partnership (1)&nbsp;could cause us to be allocated lower amounts of depreciation deductions for tax purposes than would be allocated to us if
any of the contributed properties were to have a tax basis equal to its respective fair market value at the time of the contribution and (2)&nbsp;could cause us to be allocated taxable gain in the event of a sale of such contributed interests or
properties in excess of the economic or book income allocated to us as a result of such sale, with a corresponding benefit to the other partners in our operating partnership. An allocation described in clause (2)&nbsp;above might cause us or the
other partners to recognize taxable income in excess of cash proceeds in the event of a sale or other disposition of property, which might adversely affect our ability to comply with the REIT distribution requirements. See &#147;&#151;Taxation of

to capital gain dividends and certain amounts which have previously been subject to corporate level tax, as discussed below, will be taxable to our taxable U.S. holders as ordinary income when actually or constructively received. See &#147;&#151;Tax
Rates&#148; below. As long as we qualify as a REIT, these distributions will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the case of U.S. holders that are corporations or, except to the extent described in &#147;&#151;Tax Rates&#148;
below, the preferential rates on qualified dividend income applicable to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. holders, including individuals. For purposes of determining whether distributions to holders of our capital stock are

actually pay the dividend on or before January&nbsp;31 of the following year. U.S. holders may not include in their own income tax returns any of our net operating losses or capital losses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">U.S. holders that receive taxable stock distributions, including distributions partially payable in our capital stock and partially payable in cash, would be
required to include the full amount of the distribution (i.e., the cash and the stock portion) as a dividend (subject to limited exceptions) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as
described above. The amount of any distribution payable in our capital stock generally is equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of the capital stock. Depending on the circumstances of a U.S. holder, the tax on the
distribution may exceed the amount of the distribution received in cash, in which case such U.S. holder would have to pay the tax using cash from other sources. If a U.S. holder sells the capital stock it received in connection with a taxable stock
distribution in order to pay this tax and the proceeds of such sale are less than the amount required to be included in income with respect to the stock portion of the distribution, such U.S. holder could have a capital loss with respect to the
stock sale that could not be used to offset such income. A U.S. holder that receives capital stock pursuant to such distribution generally has a tax basis in such capital stock equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of
such capital stock as described above, and has a holding period in such capital stock that begins on the day immediately following the payment date for the distribution. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Capital Gain Dividends</I>. Dividends that we properly designate as capital gain dividends will generally be taxable to our taxable U.S. holders as a gain
from the sale or disposition of a capital asset held for more than one year, to the extent that such gain does not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year, and may not exceed our dividends paid for the taxable year, including
dividends paid the following year that are treated as paid in the current year. U.S. holders that are corporations may, however, be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary income. If we properly designate any
portion of a dividend as a capital gain dividend, then, except as otherwise required by law, we presently intend to allocate a portion of the total capital gain dividends paid or made available to holders of all classes of our capital stock for the
year to the holders of each class of our capital stock in proportion to the amount that our total dividends, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, paid or made available to the holders of each such class of our capital stock for the
year bears to the total dividends, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, paid or made available to holders of all classes of our capital stock for the year. In addition, except as otherwise required by law, we will make a similar
allocation with respect to any undistributed long-term capital gains which are to be included in our stockholders&#146; long-term capital gains, based on the allocation of the capital gain amount which would have resulted if those undistributed
long-term capital gains had been distributed as &#147;capital gain dividends&#148; by us to our stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Retention of Net Capital Gains</I>. We
may elect to retain, rather than distribute as a capital gain dividend, all or a portion of our net capital gains. If we make this election, we would pay tax on our retained net capital gains. In addition, to the extent we so elect, our earnings and
profits (determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) would be adjusted accordingly, and a U.S. holder generally would: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

distributions to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holder that are attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by us of USRPIs, whether or not designated as capital gain dividends, will cause the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holder to be treated as recognizing such gain as income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-U.S.</FONT> holders generally would be taxed at the
regular rates applicable to U.S. holders, subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals. We also will be required to withhold and to remit to the IRS 21% of any
distribution to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holders attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by us of USRPIs. Distributions subject to FIRPTA may also be subject to a 30% branch profits tax in the hands of a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holder that is a corporation. The amount withheld is creditable against the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability. However, any distribution with
respect to any class of stock that is &#147;regularly traded,&#148; as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market located in the United States is not subject to FIRPTA, and therefore, not subject to the 21% U.S.
withholding tax described above, if the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holder did not own more than 10% of such class of stock at any time during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-year</FONT> period ending on the date of the

income tax unless such stock constitutes a USRPI. In general, stock of a domestic corporation that constitutes a &#147;United States real property holding corporation,&#148; or USRPHC, will constitute a USRPI. We believe that we are a USRPHC. Our

operating partnership. This discussion assumes the debt securities will be issued with less than a statutory de minimis amount of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, this discussion is limited to persons
purchasing the debt securities for cash at original issue and at their original &#147;issue price&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1273 of the Code (i.e., the first price at which a substantial amount of the debt securities is sold to the
public for cash). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>U.S.&nbsp;Holders </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Payments of

purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Sale or Other Taxable Disposition</I>. A U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other
taxable disposition of a debt security. The amount of such gain or loss generally will be equal to the difference between the amount received for the debt security in cash or other property valued at fair market value (less amounts attributable to
any accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as interest to the extent not previously included in income) and the U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the debt security. A U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in a debt security
generally will be equal to the amount the U.S. holder paid for the debt security. Any gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the debt security for more than one
year at the time of such sale or other taxable disposition. Otherwise, such gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. holders,

Accounts </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (&#147;FATCA&#148;)) on certain types of payments made to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> financial institutions and certain other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> entities. Specifically, a 30%
withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on our capital stock, interest on our operating partnership&#146;s debt securities, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of
our capital stock or our operating partnership&#146;s debt securities, in each case paid to a &#147;foreign financial institution&#148; or a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-financial</FONT> foreign entity&#148; (each as defined in the
Code), unless (1)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2)&nbsp;the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> foreign entity either certifies it does not have any
&#147;substantial United States owners&#148; (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution or
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause
(1)&nbsp;above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain &#147;specified United States persons&#148; or &#147;United States owned
foreign entities&#148; (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-compliant</FONT> foreign financial institutions and certain
other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on our capital stock
or interest on our operating partnership&#146;s debt securities. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock or debt securities on or after January&nbsp;1, 2019,
proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. Because we may not know the extent to
which a distribution is a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the time it is made, for purposes of these withholding rules we may treat the entire distribution as a dividend. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our capital

securities certificates. &#147;Direct participants&#148; in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">wholly-owned</FONT> subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation,
all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#146;s
records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants&#146; records. Beneficial owners of securities will not receive
written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect
participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive
certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate
subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC&#146;s partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the
securities. DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings
on behalf of their customers. </P>

with their respective holdings shown on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or
registered in &#147;street name.&#148; Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and
