Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | LEASES As Lessor We lease space to tenants under operating leases in an office building and in retail centers. The rental terms range from approximately 5 to 25 years. The leases provide for the payment of fixed base rents payable monthly in advance as well as reimbursements of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Retail leases may also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rents based on a percentage of their sales. We also lease residential space at The Alexander apartment tower which generally have a 1 or 2 year lease terms. Future undiscounted cash flows under our contractual non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:
(Amounts in thousands) |  | As of December 31, 2023
For the year ending December 31, |  |
2024 |  | $ | 157,833 |
2025 |  | 129,407 |
2026 |  | 125,014 |
2027 |  | 122,495 |
2028 |  | 130,203 |
Thereafter |  | 190,503 |
These amounts do not include reimbursements or additional rents based on a percentage of retail tenants’ sales. Bloomberg accounted for reve nue of $120,351,000, $115,129,000, and $113,140,000 in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing approximately 54%, 56% and 55% of our rental revenues in each year, respectively. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of o ur rental revenues. If we were to lose Bloomberg as a tenant, or if Bloomberg were to be unable to fulfill its obligations under its lease, it would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In order to assist us in our continuing assessment of Bloomberg’s creditworthiness, we receive certain confidential financial information and metrics from Bloomberg. In addition, we access and evaluate financial information regarding Bloomberg from other private sources, as well as publicly available data. 10. LEASES - continued As Lessee We are the lessee under a ground lease at our Flushing property, classified as an operating lease, which expires in 2027 and has one 10-year extension option. In January 2022, New World Mall LLC, the subtenant at the property, exercised its one remaining 10-year extension option through January 2037. As a result of the subtenant exercising its extension option, we were required by GAAP to remeasure our ground lease liability based upon an estimate of lease payments to be made during the 10-year extension period of our ground lease resulting in an incremental right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately $16,000,000. The discount rate applied in the remeasurement of the lease liability was based on the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) of 5.86% at the time of the remeasurement. We considered the general economic environment and factored in various Company specific adjustments to arrive at the IBR. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining right-of-use asset of $17,522,000 and lease liability of $20,452,000, are included in “other assets” and “other liabilities,” respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. Future lease payments under this operating lease, including our estimated payments during the extension period, are as follows:
(Amounts in thousands) |  | As of December 31, 2023
For the year ending December 31, |  |
2024 |  | $ | 800 |
2025 |  | 800 |
2026 |  | 800 |
2027 |  | 2,707 |
2028 |  | 2,880 |
Thereafter |  | 23,280 |
Total undiscounted cash flows |  | 31,267 |
Present value discount |  | (10,815) |
Lease liability as of December 31, 2023 |  | $ | 20,452 |
We recognize rent expense as a component of “operating” expenses on our consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis. Rent expense was $2,161,000, $2,161,000 and $746,000 in each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash paid for rent expense was $800,000 in each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
