Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings The Company is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with tenants, vendors and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties. Given the nature of the Company’s business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system. The Company will establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and when the amount of loss is reasonably estimable. The Company does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Letters-of-Credit Under certain mortgages, the Company has funded required leasing and capital reserve accounts for the benefit of the mortgage lenders with letters-of-credit. There were no letters-of-credit for a mortgage lender as of March 31, 2020. Certain of the tenant rents at properties that secure these mortgage loans are deposited into the loan servicer’s depository accounts, which are used to fund debt service, operating expenses, capital expenditures and the escrow and reserve accounts, as necessary. Any excess cash is included in cash and cash equivalents. Environmental As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments. The Company’s compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and the Company does not believe it will have a material adverse effect in the future. However, the Company cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its current Properties or on properties that the Company may acquire. Debt Guarantees As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s Real Estate Ventures had aggregate indebtedness of $611.6 million. These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are nonrecourse to the Company, except for customary recourse carve-outs. As of March 31, 2020, the $150.0 million construction loan obtained by 4040 Wilson, located in Arlington, Virginia, for which the Company has a payment guarantee up to $41.3 million, is recourse to the Company. In addition, during construction undertaken by the Real Estate Ventures, including 4040 Wilson, the Company has provided, and expects to continue to provide, cost overrun and completion guarantees, with rights of contribution among partners or members in the real estate ventures, as well as customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of customary exceptions to nonrecourse provisions in loan agreements. Other Commitments or Contingencies In connection with the Schuylkill Yards Project, the Company entered into a neighborhood engagement program and, as of March 31, 2020, had $8.4 million of future fixed contractual obligations. The Company is also committed to make additional contributions under the program. As of March 31, 2020, the Company estimates that these additional contributions, which are not fixed under the terms of agreement, will be $2.7 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was under contract to acquire an office property containing approximately 170,000 rentable square feet located in Radnor, Pennsylvania for a purchase price of $20.3 million. The Company has paid $1.0 million towards the purchase price in the form of a non-refundable deposit and the transaction is expected to close during 2020. The Company invests in its properties and regularly incurs capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business to maintain the properties. The Company believes that such expenditures enhance its competitiveness. The Company also enters into construction, utility and service contracts in the ordinary course of business which may extend beyond one year. These contracts typically provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.
