Net Investment in Sales-type Leases and Ground Lease Receivables

Note 4—Net Investment in Sales-type Leases and Ground Lease Receivables

The Company classifies certain of its Ground Leases as sales-type leases and records the leases within “Net investment in sales-type leases” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and records interest income in “Interest income from sales-type leases” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the Company may enter into transactions whereby it acquires land and enters into Ground Leases directly with the seller. These Ground Leases qualify as sales-type leases and, as such, do not qualify for sale leaseback accounting and are accounted for as financing receivables in accordance with ASC 310 - Receivables and are included in “Ground Lease receivables” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company records interest income from Ground Lease receivables in “Interest income from sales-type leases” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

In May 2023, the Company entered into a joint venture with a sovereign wealth fund, which is also an existing shareholder, focused on new acquisitions for certain Ground Lease investments. The Company committed approximately $275 million for a 55% controlling interest in the joint venture and the sovereign wealth fund committed approximately $225 million for a 45% noncontrolling interest in the joint venture. Each party’s commitment is discretionary. The joint venture is a voting interest entity and the Company consolidates the joint venture in its financial statements due to its controlling interest. The Company receives a management fee, measured on an asset-by-asset basis, equal to 25 basis points on invested equity for such asset for the first five years following its acquisition, and 15 basis points on invested equity thereafter. The Company will also receive a promote of 15% over a 9% internal rate of return, subject to a 1.275x multiple on invested capital. Since formation through August 30, 2024, the joint venture acquired nine Ground Leases for an aggregate purchase price of $170.4 million, of which $101.2 million had been funded as of August 30, 2024. On August 30, 2024, the Company acquired its partners’ share of the outstanding commitment for all existing Ground Leases in the venture for $48.3 million. The excess of the purchase price and related transaction costs over the carrying value of $46.0 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the Company’s consolidated statement of changes in equity. The venture remains in place, and the partner's participation right in certain qualifying Ground Lease investment opportunities expired on September 30, 2024.

In January 2024, the Company acquired a Ground Lease from the Ground Lease Plus Fund for $38.3 million, excluding amounts funded by the Company pursuant to a leasehold improvement allowance (refer to Note 8 and Note 15).

(1)The net investment in sales-type leases is initially measured at the present value of the fixed and determinable lease payments, including any guaranteed or unguaranteed estimated residual value of the asset at the end of the lease, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. For newly originated or acquired Ground Leases, the Company’s estimate of residual value equals the fair value of the land at lease commencement.
(2)As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of the Company’s net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables were current in their payment status. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s weighted average accrual rate for its net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables was 5.3% and 5.7%, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the weighted average remaining life of the Company’s 47 Ground Lease receivables was 96.6 years.

(1)During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses on net investment in sales-type leases of $0.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was due primarily to current market conditions, including an increase in the Ground Lease cost to value ratio on the Company’s portfolio of Ground Leases since June 30, 2025, and growth in the carrying value of the portfolio during the period. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was due primarily to enhancements to the Company’s general provision for credit loss methodology, current market conditions and growth in the portfolio during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses on net investment in sales-type leases of $2.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively. The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due primarily to current market conditions, including an increase in the Ground Lease cost to value ratio on the Company’s portfolio of Ground Leases since December 31, 2024, and growth in the carrying value of the portfolio during the period. The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due primarily to enhancements to the Company’s general provision for credit loss methodology, current market conditions and growth in the portfolio during the period.
