Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Asset Management Agreements In June 2022, CHCI Asset Management, L.C. (“CAM”), an entity wholly owned by the Company, entered into a master asset management agreement with CP (the “2022 AMA”) that superseded in its entirety the previous asset management agreement between CAM and CPRES dated April 30, 2019. Entry into the 2022 AMA was unanimously approved by the independent directors of the Company. The 2022 AMA engaged CAM to manage and administer CP’s commercial real estate portfolio (the "Anchor Portfolio") and the day-to-day operations of CP and each property-owning subsidiary of CP (collectively, the “CP Entities”). CAM will provide investment advisory, development, and asset management services necessary to build out, stabilize and manage the Anchor Portfolio, which currently consists primarily of two of the larger transit-oriented, mixed-use developments located on Washington D.C. Metro’s Silver Line (Reston Station and Loudoun Station) that are owned by CP Entities and ultimately controlled by Mr. Clemente. Pursuant to the fee structures set forth in the 2022 AMA, CAM is entitled to receive an annual payment equal to the greater of the "Cost-Plus Fee" or the "Market Rate Fee". The Cost-Plus Fee is equal to the sum of (i) the comprehensive costs incurred by or for providing services to the Anchor Portfolio, (ii) the costs and expenses of the Company related to maintaining the listing of its shares on a securities exchange and complying with regulatory and reporting obligations of a public company, and (iii) a fixed annual payment of $1.0 million. The Market Rate Fee calculation is defined in the 2022 AMA as the sum of the fees detailed in the following table:
Description | 2022 AMA Fees |
Asset Management Fee | 2.5% of Anchor Portfolio revenue |
Entitlement Fee | 15% of total re-zoning costs |
Development and Construction Fee | 5% of development costs (excluding previously charged Entitlement Fees) |
Property Management Fee | 1% of Anchor Portfolio revenue |
Acquisition Fee | 1% on first $50 million of purchase price; 0.5% above $50 million |
Disposition Fee | 1% on first $50 million of sale price; 0.5% above $50 million |
In addition to the annual payment of either the Market Rate Fee or the Cost-Plus Fee, CAM is also entitled on an annual basis to receive certain supplemental fees, as detailed for the respective asset management agreements in the following table:
| Description | 2022 AMA |
| Incentive Fee | When receiving Market Rate Fee: On a mark-to-market basis, equal to 20% of the imputed profit of certain real estate assets comprising the Anchor Portfolio for which a Triggering Event(1) has occurred, after calculating a compounding preferred return of 8% on CP invested capital (the “Market Incentive Fee”) When receiving the Cost-Plus Fee: On a mark-to-market basis, an incentive fee equal to 10% of the imputed profit of certain real estate assets comprising the Anchor Portfolio for which a Triggering Event 1 has occurred, after calculating a compounding preferred return of 8% on CP invested capital (the “Base Incentive Fee”) |
| Investment Origination Fee | 1% of raised capital |
| Leasing Fee | $1/per sqft. for new leases and $0.50/per sqft. for lease renewals |
| Loan Origination Fee | 1% of any Financing Transaction or other commercially reasonable and mutually agreed upon fee |
(1) | Triggering events are differentiated between operating assets (i.e. those already in service) and assets under development. Operating asset triggering events are scheduled for specific dates, whereas triggering events for assets under development are tied to various metrics that indicate stabilization, such as occupancy and leasing rates.
On September 11, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2022 AMA with an effective date of July 1, 2024 (the "First Amendment") that included, among others, the following key revised provisions: •A deferral of the Operating Assets Trigger Event that was originally scheduled on October 1, 2024 (as defined in the original 2022 AMA) to calculate incentive fee revenue for seven specified managed portfolio assets to be, at the election of the Company upon the occurrence of the event and with consent from CP, either (a) October 1, 2027, (b) upon the sale of the asset, (c) upon the refinance of the asset, or (d) the period of time in which an 85% leased rate has been achieved if the asset is a commercial asset; •A revised definition of the Development and Construction Management Fee to include payment of the fee during delays in delivery caused by a casualty event; and •A revised definition of Supplemental Fees to include a lease termination fee equal to 3.5% of the gross rental revenue paid by any tenant of a commercial asset in connection with the early termination of a lease. Except as amended by the First Amendment, the original terms of the 2022 AMA remain in full force and effect. The 2022 AMA will terminate on January 1, 2035 (“Initial Term”) and will automatically renew for successive additional one year terms (each an “Extension Term”) unless CP delivers written notice of non-renewal of the 2022 AMA at least 180 days prior to the termination date of the Initial Term or any Extension Term. Twenty-four months after the effective date of the 2022 AMA, CP is entitled to terminate the 2022 AMA without cause upon 180 days advance written notice to CAM. In the event of such a termination and in addition to the payment of any accrued annual fees due and payable as of the termination date under the 2022 AMA, CP is required to pay a termination fee equal to two times the Cost-Plus Fee or Market Rate Fee paid to CAM for the calendar year immediately preceding the termination. Residential, Commercial, and Parking Property Management Agreements The Company entered into separate residential property management agreements with properties owned by CP Entities under which the Company receives fees to manage and operate the properties, including tenant communications, leasing of apartment units, rent collections, building maintenance and day-to-day operations, engagement and supervision of contractors and vendors providing services for the buildings, and budget preparation and oversight. The Company entered into separate commercial property and parking management agreements with several properties owned by CP Entities under which the Company receives fees to manage and operate the office and retail portions of the properties, including tenant communications, rent collections, building maintenance and day-to-day operations, engagement and supervision of contractors and vendors providing services for the buildings, and budget preparation and oversight. These property management agreements each have initial terms of one year with successive, automatic one-year renewal terms. The Company generally receives base management fees under these agreements based upon a percentage of gross rental revenues for the portions of the buildings being managed in addition to reimbursement of specified expenses, including employment expenses of personnel employed by the Company in the management and operation of each property. Construction Management Agreements The Company has construction management agreements with properties owned by CP Entities under which the Company receives fees to provide certain construction management and supervision services, including management of tenant buildouts and casualty event remediation and restoration. The Company typically receives a construction management fee that is set forth in the applicable tenant’s lease or executed work authorization and based on a percentage of the total costs (or total hard costs) of the project. Lease Procurement Agreements The Company has lease procurement agreements with properties owned by CP Entities under which the Company receives certain finders' fees in connection with the procurement of new leases for such properties where an external broker is not engaged on behalf of the CP Entities. Such leasing fees are supplemental to the fees generated from the Company's management agreements referenced above and are generally 1-2% of the future lease payments to be received by the CP Entity from the executed lease. Business Management Agreements In January 2023, CAM entered into a Business Management Agreement (the “BC Management Agreement”) with DCS Real Estate Investments, LC, an entity controlled by a member of CP. The BC Management Agreement provided that DCS Real Estate Investments, LC pay CAM an annual management fee equal to $0.4 million to reimburse CAM for certain expenses. The BC Management Agreement was terminated effective December 31, 2024. In February 2024, CAM entered into a Business Management Agreement (the “SH Management Agreement”) with Springfield Holdings, LLC (“Springfield”), an entity controlled by a member of CP, whereby CAM provides Springfield with professional management and consultation on land development and real estate services for a residential community located in Ranson, West Virginia. The initial term of the SH Management Agreement extended through December 31, 2024, with automatic one-year renewals. The SH Management Agreement provides that Springfield will reimburse CAM for certain pre-development expenses at cost. Investors X In April 2019, the Company entered into a master transfer agreement with CPRES that entitled the Company to priority distribution of residual cash flow from its Class B membership interest in Comstock Investors X, L.C. ("Investors X"), an unconsolidated variable interest entity that owns the Company's residual homebuilding operations. The Company considers Investors X to be a variable interest entity over which it does not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact economic performance, therefore it is not the primary beneficiary of Investors X and does not have to consolidate the entity into its financial results. (See Note 3 for additional information). The Hartford In December 2019, the Company made an investment related to the purchase of The Hartford, a stabilized commercial office building located at 3101 Wilson Boulevard in the Clarendon area of Arlington, Virginia. In conjunction with the investment, the Company entered into an operating agreement with CP to form Comstock 3101 Wilson, LC, to purchase The Hartford. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Company held a minority membership interest of The Hartford and the remaining membership interests of The Hartford are held by CP. In February 2020, the Company, CP and DWF VI 3101 Wilson Member, LLC (“DWF”), an unaffiliated, third party, equity investor in the Hartford, entered into a limited liability company agreement (the “DWC Operating Agreement”) to form DWC 3101 Wilson Venture, LLC (“DWC”) to, among other things, acquire, own and hold all interests in The Hartford. In furtherance thereof, on February 7, 2020, the Original Operating Agreement was amended and restated (the “A&R Operating Agreement”) to memorialize the Company’s and CP’s assignment of 100% of its membership interests in The Hartford to DWC. As a result, DWC is the sole member of the Hartford Owner. The Company and CP, respectively, hold minority membership interests in, and DWF holds the majority membership interest in, DWC. (See Note 3 for additional information). BLVD Forty Four/BLVD Ansel In October 2021 and March 2022, the Company entered into joint ventures with CP to acquire BLVD Forty Four and BLVD Ansel, respectively, two adjacent mixed-use luxury high-rise apartment buildings located near the Rockville Metro Station in Rockville, Maryland. The Company considers BLVD Forty Four and BLVD Ansel to be variable interest entities upon which it exercises significant influence; however, considering key factors such as the Company’s ownership interest and participation in policy-making decisions by majority equity holders, and oversight of management services by majority equity holders, the Company concluded that the power to direct activities that most significantly impact economic performance is shared. Given that the Company is not the entity most closely associated with the properties, it concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary and does not have a controlling financial interest in either property. In conjunction with the acquisition of Comstock 41, the Company entered into an amendment to the existing asset management agreement with CP to introduce an acquisition pursuit fee of $0.1 million and contingent entitlement success fee to pursue potential relocation of moderately-priced dwelling units ("MPDUs") from BLVD Forty Four to Comstock 41. The acquisition pursuit fee was earned and recognized as revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, upon the completion of the Comstock 41 acquisition. The entitlement success fee, if earned, will equal 25% of the economic value created by the relocation of the MPDUs (subject to reasonable agreed upon changes at the time of the calculation) and due upon approval of a finalized amendment to the existing project development plan by local government agencies. (See Note 3 for additional information). Corporate Leases In November 2020, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters to office space owned and controlled by its Chief Executive Officer Christopher Clemente and his family, pursuant to a ten-year lease agreement. In November 2022, the Company executed a 3,778 square foot lease expansion agreement with terms that align with the original agreement. In January 2022, ParkX Management, LC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a separate five-year lease agreement with an affiliate controlled and owned by Mr. Clemente and his family to host ParkX's specialized remote monitoring center operations. (See Note 4 for additional information). Credit Facility In March 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with CP to secure a $10.0 million capital line of credit with a variable interest rate of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1.00% per annum that is scheduled to expire in March 2030, replacing a pre-existing expiring credit facility with a different affiliated entity (See Note 5 for additional information).
