Noncontrolling Interests

Our noncontrolling interests consist of interests in our Operating Partnership and consolidated JVs which are not owned by us. As of September 30, 2024, noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership owned 33.7 million OP Units and fully-vested LTIP Units, which represented approximately 16.7% of our Operating Partnership's total outstanding interests, and we owned 167.4 million OP Units (to match our 167.4 million shares of outstanding common stock), which represented approximately 83.3% of our Operating Partnership's total outstanding interests.

A share of our common stock, an OP Unit and an LTIP Unit (once vested and booked up) have essentially the same economic characteristics, sharing equally in the distributions from our Operating Partnership. Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to acquire their OP Units for an amount of cash per unit equal to the market value ofone share of our common stock at the date of acquisition, or, at our election, exchange their OP Units for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. LTIP Units have been granted to our employees and non-employee directors as part of their compensation. These awards generally vest over a service period and once vested can generally be converted to OP Units provided our stock price increases by more than a specified hurdle.
