Net Investment in Leases

Note 5—Net Investment in Leases

In June 2021, the Company acquired two parcels of land for $42.0 million each and simultaneously entered into two Ground Leases with the respective tenants. Each Ground Lease also provides for a leasehold improvement allowance up to a maximum of $83.0 million. The Company also concurrently entered into an agreement pursuant to which SAFE would

acquire the Ground Leases from the Company. If certain construction conditions are not met within a specified time period, SAFE will have no obligation to acquire the Ground Leases or fund the leasehold improvement allowances. The Company classified one of the Ground Leases as a sales-type lease and it is recorded in “Net investment in leases” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $0.2 million of non-cash interest income in "Interest income from sales-type leases" in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In January 2022, the Company sold the Ground Lease to an investment fund in which the Company owns a 53% noncontrolling interest (refer to Note 8 – Ground Lease Plus Fund).

One Ground Lease was entered into with the seller of the land and did not qualify for sale leaseback accounting, and as such, was accounted for as a financing transaction and $42.0 million was recorded in “Loans receivable held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at the time of acquisition. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied and that SAFE will acquire the properties and Ground Leases from the Company. In January 2022, the Company sold the Ground Lease to the Ground Lease Plus Fund (refer to Note 8).

In January 2022, the Company entered into a commitment to acquire land for $36.0 million and simultaneously structured and entered into a Ground Lease as part of the Ground Lease tenant’s recapitalization of an existing multifamily property. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had funded $28.2 million of this commitment. SAFE (refer to Note 8) waived its right of first refusal on this investment but entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which SAFE would acquire the land and related Ground Lease when certain construction related conditions are met.
