Note 3. Real Estate 

Development Asset

On July 23, 2020, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement (the “Lease”) with the Government of the District of Columbia (the “District”), for the lease by the District of office space in a new six-story building to be constructed by the Company at Senator Square. The building is planned to house the new office headquarters for the District of Columbia’s Department of General Services’ (“DGS”) 700-member workforce. The term of the Lease is 20 years and 10 months, to commence upon substantial completion and delivery to DGS. The Company anticipates commencement of construction to occur in the first quarter of 2021 and currently estimates that the space will be delivered during the end of the fourth quarter 2022.

Upon completion of the building, the District will be obligated to pay initial annual net rent of approximately $5.4 million per year, subject to a 2.5% annual escalator on each anniversary of rent commencement, plus certain operating costs, property taxes and amortization of tenant improvements together totaling approximately an additional $8.1 million per year, for an aggregate total annual rent of approximately $13.5 million. The Lease provides for a free rent period of 10 months immediately following rent commencement. The Lease also provides the District with a tenant credit of approximately $6.8 million to be applied, at the District’s election, against either annual rent or any other tenant payment obligations including tenant improvement costs, in excess of the tenant improvement allowance. Pursuant to the Lease, the landlord will contribute up to $155 per rentable square foot toward the cost of

tenant improvements, to be amortized over 240 months. In addition, the Lease provides that the Company will contribute $9.38 per rentable square foot in additional tenant improvement allowance between the 10th and 12th Lease years, upon the District’s timely election. The obligations of the District under the Lease are subject to annual budget appropriation.

Disposition

On September 17, 2020, the Company sold an outparcel building adjacent to Oakland Mills, located in Columbia, Maryland, for $1.1 million, resulting in a $0.7 million gain which is included in operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Real Estate Held for Sale

 

As of September 30, 2020, Carll’s Corner, located in Bridgeton, New Jersey, Glen Allen Shopping Center, located in Glen Allen, Virginia, Suffolk Plaza, located in Suffolk, Virginia, and The Commons, located in Dubois Pennsylvania, have been classified as “real estate held for sale” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. On October 8, 2020, the Company sold Glen Allen Shopping for $8.5 million.

 

On January 31, 2020, the Company agreed to a cash payment in consideration for permitting a dark anchor tenant to terminate its lease prior to the contractual expiration at Metro Square. As a result of this termination, revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, included approximately $7.1 million of other income. Further, on July 9, 2020, the Company sold this property for $4.3 million.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $7.6 million in relation to properties classified as real estate held for sale, which are included in continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The Company, when applicable, conducts a continuing review of the values for all properties “held for sale” based on final sales prices and sales contracts entered into. Impairment charges/reversals, if applicable, are based on a comparison of the carrying values of the properties with either (1) actual sales prices less costs to sell for properties sold, or contract amounts for properties in the process of being sold, (2) estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on discounted cash flow or income capitalization analyses, if no contract amounts are being negotiated (see Note 4 - “Fair Value Measurements”), or (3) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the selected market areas. Prior to the Company’s determination to dispose of properties, which are subsequently reclassified to “held for sale”, the Company performed recoverability analyses based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows that were expected to result from the real estate investments’ use and eventual disposal. The projected undiscounted cash flows of each property reflects that the carrying value of each real estate investment would be recovered. However, as a result of the properties’ meeting the “held for sale” criteria, such properties were written down to the lower of their carrying value and estimated fair values less costs to sell.
