Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.

 

 

Basis of Consolidation

Basis of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portion of members’capital (deficit) in controlled subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented in noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

We have evaluated our economic interests in entities to determine if they are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and whether the entities should be consolidated. An entity is a VIE if it has any one of the following characteristics: (i) the entity does not have enough equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (ii) the at-risk equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The distinction between a VIE and other entities is based on the nature and amount of the equity investment and the rights and obligations of the equity investors. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered VIEs unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights.

 

Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review all agreements and contractual arrangements to determine whether (i) we or another party have any variable interests in an entity, (ii) the entity is considered a VIE, and (iii) which variable interest holder, if any, is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary is based on whether a party (a) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and (b) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

The following table presents the financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively (amounts in thousands):

 

   2024   2023 
   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
Assets          
Real estate          
Land  $41,223   $26,059 
Building and improvements   236,165    12,953 
Furniture, fixtures and equipment   2,633     
Intangible assets   6,174    6,816 
Real estate under construction   190,750    290,627 
Total Real estate   476,945    336,455 
Accumulated depreciation and amortization   (5,578)   (2,161)
Real estate, net   471,367    334,294 
Cash and cash equivalents   2,566    8,204 
Other assets   7,096    7,841 
Total assets  $481,029   $350,339 
           
Liabilities          
Debt, net  $177,017   $19,678 
Due to affiliates   3,413    7,292 
Lease liabilities   21    25 
Accounts payable   13,137    12,374 
Accrued expenses and other liabilities   9,690    8,595 
Total liabilities  $203,278   $47,964 

 

An interest in a VIE requires reconsideration when an event occurs that was not originally contemplated. At each reporting period we will reassess whether there are any events that require us to reconsider our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether it should be consolidated.

 

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jump Start Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies are permitted to use an extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the consolidated financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our Primary Offering), (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

 

To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and (ii) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Liquidity

Liquidity

 

Our primary need for liquidity is to fund our investments, including construction and development costs, pay our Public Offering and operating fees and expenses, pay any distributions that we may make to the holders of our units and pay interest on our outstanding indebtedness.

 

As of December 31, 2024, we held cash, cash equivalents and other short-term investments of $24.7 million. We believe that our cash on-hand as of December 31, 2024, together with the anticipated net proceeds from our Public Offerings, the projected cash flows from our real estate assets and our current and anticipated financing activities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

 

Our future needs for liquidity will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, our ability to generate cash flows from operations, the timing and availability of net proceeds from our Public Offerings and any future offerings that we may conduct, the timing and extent of our real estate acquisition and disposition activities, and the timing and extent of our construction and development costs. Economic uncertainty, uncertainty surrounding legislation, regulation and government policy at the U.S. federal level, fluctuating interest rates, unemployment rates, energy prices, tariffs, immigration, taxes, inflation, volatility in the real estate markets, slowdowns in transaction volume, delays in financings from banks and other lenders and other negative trends may, in the future, adversely impact our ability to timely access potential sources of liquidity. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or on terms that are acceptable to us, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

We are focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing real estate assets located within qualified opportunity zones. Our operating segments are based on the way we organize and evaluate our business internally. We currently operate in two reportable segments, commercial and mixed-use, which are further described in Note 12 - Segment Reporting.

 

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets and Liabilities

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets and Liabilities

 

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties we determine whether a transaction is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired are not a business, we account for the transaction as an asset acquisition. We capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees associated with our asset acquisitions, and expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations.

 

It is our policy to allocate the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings, fixtures and improvements, and identified intangible lease assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, as applicable, the other value of in-place leases, certain development rights and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management’s determination of the fair values of these assets. We measure the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between the property valued (i) with existing in-place leases, adjusted to market rental rates, and (ii) as if vacant. Other factors considered include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.

 

We consider information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. We estimate costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs have not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction. In connection with the purchase of real property for development use, development rights are often transferred from one party to another to provide additional density. This transfer of rights allows an entity to permit, construct and develop additional dwelling units. Accordingly, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to these development right intangible assets based on the value attributed to the land of which we do not hold title to but are provided density transfer rights over. These rights are amortized to amortization expense over the useful life based on the respective contract. If the rights are transferred in perpetuity and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit its useful life, we consider the intangible asset indefinite-lived and therefore do not amortize.

 

 

The total amount of other intangible assets acquired are further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. We consider the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors. We amortize the value of in-place leases to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the respective leases (as well as any applicable below market renewal options). The value of customer relationship intangibles will be amortized to expense over the initial term in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense in that period.

 

The values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are determined based on our experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions and are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated and in place at the time of acquisition of the properties, and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the properties or equivalent properties. Such valuations include consideration of the non-cancellable terms of the respective leases (as well as any applicable below market renewal options). The values of above and below-market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease term are amortized to rental revenue over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below-market renewal options, that are likely to be exercised, are amortized to rental revenue over the respective renewal periods.

 

When we acquire leveraged properties, the fair value of the related debt instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenants, where applicable, and interest rate risk. Such resulting premium or discount is amortized over the remaining term of the obligation and is included in Other expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We also consider the value of the underlying collateral taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant, the time until maturity and the current interest rate.

 

The determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to current market rental rates, discount rates and other variables.

 

Real Estate

Real Estate

 

Real estate is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures which improve or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend lives of the assets, are charged to expense.

 

Deprecation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets (not to exceed 40 years).

 

Project costs directly related to the construction and development of real estate projects (including but not limited to interest and related loan fees, property taxes, insurance and legal costs) are capitalized as a cost of the project. Indirect project costs that relate to projects are capitalized and allocated to the projects to which they relate. Pertaining to assets under development, capitalization begins when both direct and indirect project costs have been made and it is probable that development of the future asset is probable. If we suspend substantially all activities related to the project, we will cease cost capitalization of indirect costs until activities are resumed. We will not suspend cost capitalization for brief interruptions, interruptions that are externally imposed, or delays that are inherent in the development process unless there are other circumstances involved that warrant a judgmental decision to cease capitalization. In addition, capitalization of project costs will cease when the project is considered substantially completed and occupied, or ready for its intended use (but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity). Upon substantial completion, depreciation of these assets will commence. If discrete portions of a project are substantially completed and occupied and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for separately. We allocate costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and only capitalize those costs associated with the portions under construction.

 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We evaluate our tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets for impairment when events such as delays or changes in development, declines in a property’s operating performance, deteriorating market conditions, or environmental or legal concerns bring recoverability of the carrying value of one or more assets into question. When qualitative factors indicate the possibility of impairment, the total undiscounted cash flows of the property, including proceeds from disposition, are compared to the net book value of the property. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value, calculated as the discounted net cash flows of the property. In circumstances where the highest and best use of a property is the fee simple value of vacant land, we compare book value of the property to the appraised value of the land. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the appraised value of the land, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the appraised value.

 

Abandoned Pursuit Costs

Abandoned Pursuit Costs

 

Pre-development and due diligence costs incurred in pursuit of new development and acquisition opportunities, which we deem to be probable, will be capitalized in Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. If the development or acquisition opportunity is not probable or the status of the project changes such that it is deemed no longer probable, the costs incurred will be expensed.

 

Initial Direct Costs

Initial Direct Costs

 

Initial direct costs are incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred had the lease not been executed. Such costs include lease incentives and leasing commissions. Costs incurred to obtain tenant leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related lease agreement. If the lease is terminated early, the remaining unamortized deferred leasing cost is written off. Initial direct costs are capitalized in Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Deferred financing costs include fees and other expenditures necessary to obtain debt financing and are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the loan. In situations where financing is in place, deferred financing costs are generally presented as a direct deduction from the related debt liability and any unamortized financing costs are generally charged to earnings when debt is retired before the maturity date.

 

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

 

Our derivative instruments are measured at fair value and are recorded as either assets or liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets depending on the pertinent rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. The derivative contracts that we may enter into are generally concurrent with obtaining floating rate debt and are intended to manage the economic risk of increases in benchmark interest rates. Our derivative instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and therefore we account for changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments as either a gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in major financial institutions, cash on hand and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash balances may at times exceed federally insurable limits per institution, however, we deposit our cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure.

 

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash consists of amounts required to be reserved pursuant to contractual obligations and lender agreements for debt service. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within our consolidated balance sheets to our consolidated statements of cash flows (amounts in thousands):

 

   2024   2023 
   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
Cash and cash equivalents  $24,737   $20,125 
Restricted cash (1)   4,094    3,460 
Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash  $28,831   $23,585 

 

(1)Restricted cash is included within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

 

Subscriptions Receivable

Subscriptions Receivable

 

Subscriptions receivable consists of units that have been issued with subscriptions that have not yet settled. Subscriptions receivable are carried at cost which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no subscriptions that had not yet settled.

 

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling Interest

 

A non-controlling interest in a subsidiary (minority interest) is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent company’s equity. In addition, consolidated net loss is required to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest and the amount of consolidated net loss attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interests are required to be disclosed on the face of the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Organization, Public Offerings and Other Operating Costs

Organization, Public Offerings and Other Operating Costs

 

Organization costs are expensed as incurred. Offering expenses include, without limitation, legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees and expenses, fees and expenses of our escrow agent and transfer agent. Offering costs, when incurred, will be charged to members’ equity against the gross proceeds of an offering. Our Public Offering costs for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, were less than $0.1 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. We became liable to reimburse our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, when the first closing was held in connection with our Primary Offering, which occurred in October 2021.

 

Pursuant to a management agreement by and among the Company, our Operating Companies and our Manager (the “Management Agreement”), we reimburse our Manager, Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, for actual expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the selection, acquisition or origination of an investment, whether or not we ultimately acquire or originate the investment. We also reimburse our Manager, Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with providing services to us. Pursuant to the employee and cost sharing agreement by and among the Company, our Operating Companies, our Manager and our Sponsor (the “Employee and Cost Sharing Agreement”), we reimburse our Sponsor and our Manager for expenses incurred for our allocable share of the salaries, benefits and overhead of personnel providing services to us. The expenses are payable, at the election of the recipient, in cash, by issuance of our Class A units at the then-current NAV, or through some combination of the foregoing.

 

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Demand for commercial and mixed-use rental properties is subject to uncertainty as a result of a number of factors, including, among others, increasing interest rates, the availability of credit, higher rates of inflation, the rate of unemployment, and ongoing supply chain disruptions. The potential effect of these and other factors presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our future performance and financial results, including the potential to negatively impact our costs of operations, our financing arrangements, the value of our investments, and the laws, regulations, and government and regulatory policies applicable to us. We are closely monitoring the potential impact of these and other factors on all aspects of our investments and operations.

 

Other Assets and Liabilities

Other Assets and Liabilities

 

Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets include our transaction costs pertaining to our deal pursuits, restricted cash, interest on loan receivables, property deposits, capitalized leasing commissions, corporate fixed assets, utility deposits, prepaid expenses, and accounts receivable. We include accrued expenses, straight-line lease liabilities, accrued interest, prepaid rent, leasing commission payables and security deposits payable in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

We intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not a taxable entity and incurs no U.S. federal income tax liability. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been made in our consolidated financial statements. If we fail to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year, and if we are not entitled to relief under the Code for an inadvertent termination of our partnership status, we will be subject to federal and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates.

 

 

Loss Per Unit

Loss Per Unit

 

Loss per unit represents both basic and dilutive per-unit amounts for the period presented in our consolidated financial statements. Basic and diluted loss per unit is calculated by dividing Net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of Class A units outstanding during the year.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors (the “Climate Rules”). The Climate Rules require quantitative and qualitative disclosure of certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports filed. These disclosures include financial statement footnote disclosure related to the effects of certain severe weather events and other natural conditions. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the Climate Rules pending completion of a judicial review of certain petitions challenging their validity. If the stay is lifted, the effective dates remain unchanged and we remain a smaller reporting company, emerging growth company or non-accelerated filer, the Climate Rules will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the Climate Rules on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The objective of ASU 2023-07 is to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the fourth quarter of 2024 and these consolidated financial statements incorporate the required disclosures. See Note 12 - Segment Reporting.
