Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except for share and per share data and as noted)
INTRODUCTION TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Clipper Realty Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “we”) and subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025. Note that any references to square footage and unit count are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review.
The financial information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. These results are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results of operations.
1. Organization
As of September 30, 2025, the properties owned by the Company consisted of the following (collectively, the “Properties”):
| • | Tribeca House in Manhattan, comprising two buildings, one with 21 stories and one with 12 stories, containing residential and retail space with an aggregate of approximately 483,000 square feet of residential rental Gross Leasable Area (“GLA”) and 77,000 square feet of retail rental and parking GLA; |
| • | Flatbush Gardens in Brooklyn, a 59-building residential housing complex with 2,494 rentable units and approximately 1,749,000 square feet of residential rental GLA; |
| • | 141 Livingston Street in Brooklyn, a 15-story office building with approximately 216,000 square feet of GLA; |
| • | 250 Livingston Street in Brooklyn, a 12-story office and residential building with approximately 370,000 square feet of GLA (fully remeasured); |
| • | Aspen in Manhattan, a 7-story building containing residential and retail space with approximately 166,000 square feet of residential rental GLA and approximately 21,000 square feet of retail rental GLA; |
| • | Clover House in Brooklyn, a 11-story residential building with approximately 102,000 square feet of residential rental GLA; |
| • | 1010 Pacific Street in Brooklyn, 9-story residential building with approximately 119,000 square feet of residential rental GLA; and |
| • | the Dean Street property in Brooklyn, 9-story residential building with approximately 160,000 square feet of residential rental GLA and approximately 9,000 square feet of retail rental GLA. |
On May 30, 2025, the Company completed the sale of 10 West 65th Street in Manhattan, a 6-story residential building with approximately 76,000 square feet of residential rental GLA for gross proceeds of $45,500. The Company incurred $1,900 in closing costs and paid $800 in accrued interest at closing. At closing, the Company repaid in full its $31,200 mortgage note (the “Mortgage”) with Flagstar Bank (“Flagstar”) (see note 4 below). The Company recorded a loss on the disposal of long-lived assets of $172 and $857 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, after previously recording a loss on impairment of long-lived assets of $33,780 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 (see note 10 below).
The operations of Clipper Realty Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries are carried on primarily through Clipper Realty L.P., the Company’s operating partnership subsidiary (the "Operating Partnership”). The Company has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code”). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership is the sole managing member of the limited liability companies (the "LLCs”) that comprised the predecessor of the Company (the "Predecessor”).
At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s interest, through the Operating Partnership, in the LLCs that own the properties generally entitles it to 38.0% and 37.9%, respectively, of the aggregate cash distributions from, and the profits and losses of, the LLCs.
The Company determined that the Operating Partnership and the LLCs are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and that the Company was the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of these VIEs represented substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Segments
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company hadtwo reportable operating segments, Residential Rental Properties and Commercial Rental Properties. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), represented by our Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, reviews the results in which the revenue and Income from Operations is divided between the commercial and residential performance.
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The effect of all intercompany balances has been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as non-controlling interests.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Investment in Real Estate
Real estate assets held for investment are carried at historical cost and consist of land, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements of real estate assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives if the expenditures qualify as betterment or the life of the related asset will be substantially extended beyond the original life expectancy.
In accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” the Company evaluates each acquisition of real estate or in-substance real estate to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meets the definition of a business and needs to be accounted for as a business combination. If either of the following criteria is met, the integrated set of assets and activities acquired would not qualify as a business:
| • | Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; or |
| • | The integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., revenue generated before and after the transaction). |
An acquired process is considered substantive if:
| • | The process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce) that is skilled, knowledgeable and experienced in performing the process: |
| • | The process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay; or |
| • | The process is considered unique or scarce. |
Generally, the Company expects that acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate will not meet the revised definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., land, buildings and related intangible assets) or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay.
Upon acquisition of real estate, the Company assesses the fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets including land, buildings, tenant improvements, above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases and any other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. In estimating fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company assesses and considers fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs, net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
The Company records acquired above-market and below-market lease values initially based on the present value, using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired based on the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed renewal options for the below-market leases. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values (if any) that are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. A property’s value is impaired if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, a write-down is recorded and measured by the amount of the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the fair value of the asset. In the event that the Company obtains proceeds through an insurance policy due to impairment, the proceeds are offset against the write-down in calculating gain/loss on disposal of assets. Management of the Company does not believe that any of its properties within the portfolio, other than the impairment of 10 West 65 th Street described in note 10, are impaired as of September 30, 2025.
For long-lived assets to be disposed of, impairment losses are recognized when the fair value of the assets less estimated cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the assets. Properties classified as real estate held-for-sale generally represent properties that are actively marketed or contracted for sale with closing expected to occur within the next twelve months. Real estate held-for-sale is carried at the lower of cost, net of accumulated depreciation, or fair value less cost to sell, determined on an asset-by-asset basis. Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs on held-for-sale properties are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations and replacements related to held-for-sale properties are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is not recorded on real estate held-for-sale.
If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balances of the related intangibles are written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized to expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date).
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
| Building and improvements (in years) | 10 | - | 44 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tenant improvements | Shorter of useful life or lease term | ||
| Furniture, fixtures and equipment (in years) | 3 | - | 15 |
The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction to base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and in banks, plus all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains some of its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limit. No losses have been experienced related to such accounts.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash generally consists of escrows for future real estate taxes and insurance expenditures, repairs, capital improvements, loan reserves and security deposits.
Tenant and Other Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Tenant and other receivables are comprised of amounts due for monthly rents and other charges less allowance for doubtful accounts. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC”) 842 "Leases,” the Company performed a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances and future lease payments were probable of collection, wrote off receivables not probable of collection and recorded a general reserve against revenues for receivables probable of collection for which a loss can be reasonably estimated. If management determines that the tenant receivable is not probable of collection it is written off against revenues. In addition, the Company records a general reserve under ASC 450.
Deferred Costs
Deferred lease costs consist of fees incurred to initiate and renew operating leases. Lease costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective leases.
Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing. These costs are amortized over the term of the financing and are recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions which do not close are expensed in the period the financing transaction is terminated.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) adjusted for changes in unrealized gains and losses, reported in equity, for financial instruments required to be reported at fair value under GAAP. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not own any material financial instruments for which the change in value was not reported in net income (loss); accordingly, its comprehensive income (loss) was its net income (loss) as presented in the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
As mentioned above under Tenant and Other Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts the Company records lease income under ASC 842,"Leases” which replaces the guidance under ASC 840. ASC 842 applies to the Company principally as lessor; as a lessee, the Company’s leases are immaterial. The Company has determined that all its leases as lessor are operating leases. The Company has elected to not bifurcate lease and non-lease components under a practical expedient provision. With respect to collectability, the Company has written off all receivables not probable of collection and related deferred rent and has recorded income for those tenants on a cash basis. When the probability assessment has changed for these receivables, the Company has recognized lease income to the extent of the difference between the lease income that would have been recognized if collectability had always been assessed as probable and the lease income recognized to date. For remaining receivables probable of collection, the Company has recorded a general reserve under ASC 450.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company charged revenue in the amount of $1,120 and $1,286, respectively, for residential receivables not deemed probable of collection and recognized revenue of $19 and $46, respectively, for a reassessment of collectability of residential receivables previously not deemed probable of collection.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company charged revenue in the amount of $3,012 and $3,302, respectively, for residential receivables not deemed probable of collection and recognized revenue of $110 and $276, respectively, for a reassessment of collectability of residential receivables previously not deemed probable of collection.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 842, rental revenue for commercial leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Deferred rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. Rental income attributable to residential leases and parking is recognized as earned, which is not materially different from the straight-line basis. Leases entered by residents for apartment units are generally for one-year terms, renewable upon consent of both parties on an annual or monthly basis.
Reimbursements for operating expenses due from tenants pursuant to their lease agreements are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance costs and other recoverable costs and are recorded as part of commercial rental income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation.” As such, all equity-based awards are reflected as compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations over their vesting period based on the fair value at the date of grant. In the event of a forfeiture, the previously recognized expense would be reversed.
As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were 6,242,095 and 5,700,534 long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units outstanding, respectively, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.85 and $7.07 per unit, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were $16,647 and $19,945, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under share incentive plans. As of September 30, 2025, the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately three and a half years.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted employees and non-employee directors 345,561 and 196,000 LTIP units, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date value of $4.54 per unit. The grants vesting period ranges from up toone year for those granted to the non-employee directors and fromone to 2.5 years to those granted to employees as 2024 bonus and long-term incentive compensation.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted employees and non-employee directors 320,172 and 181,602 LTIP units, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date value of $4.90 per unit. The grants vesting period ranges from up toone year for those granted to the non-employee directors and from 1 to 2.5 years to those granted to employees as 2023 bonus and long-term incentive compensation.
At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of the Company held on June 18, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) and the 2025 Non-Employee Director Plan (the “Non-Employee Director Plan”). The Omnibus Plan replaced the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and the Company ceased granting any new awards under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan. A total of 7,800,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Non-Employee Director Plan replaced the 2015 Non-Employee Director Plan, and the Company ceased granting any new awards under the 2015 Non-Employee Director Plan. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Non-Employee Director Plan.
Transaction Pursuit Costs
Transaction pursuit costs primarily reflect costs incurred for abandoned acquisition, disposition or other transaction pursuits.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute dividends equal to at least 90% of the REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains) to its stockholders, and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to matters such as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and any applicable alternative minimum tax. In addition, the Company may not be able to re-elect as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. The entities comprising the Predecessor are limited liability companies and are treated as pass-through entities for income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal, state or local income or franchise taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, the Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that, if successfully challenged, could result in a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. The prior three years’ income tax returns are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service.
Fair Value Measurements
Refer to Note 6, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”.
Derivative Financial Instruments
FASB derivative and hedging guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by FASB guidance, the Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.
Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecast transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (loss) (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value would be recognized in earnings. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has no derivatives for which it applies hedge accounting.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had unvested LTIP units which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend-equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company didnot have dilutive securities as of September 30, 2025 or 2024.
The effect of the conversion of the 26,317 Class B LLC units outstanding is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The net loss allocable to such units is reflected as non-controlling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated (unaudited):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Numerator | ||||
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders | $(1,751) | $(412) | $(15,615) | $(2,082) |

| Subtotal | $(2,331) | $(781) | $(17,354) | $(3,189) |
| Denominator | ||||
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding | 16,147 | 16,077 | 16,147 | 16,072 |
| Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders | $(0.14) | $(0.05) | $(1.07) | $(0.20) |
Recently Issued Pronouncements
In 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the year ended December 31, 2024 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 – Segment Reporting.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires a public business entity to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The guidance is effective for the Company in its 2027 annual reporting. The guidance is applied prospectively and may be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03.

(a) The $329,000 mortgage note agreement with New York Community Bank (“NYCB”), entered into on May 8, 2020, matures on June 1, 2032, and bears interest at 3.125% through May 2027 and thereafter at the prime rate plus 2.75%, subject to an option to fix the rate. The note requires interest-only payments through May 2027, and monthly principal and interest payments thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Company has the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the note prior to the maturity date, subject to certain prepayment premiums, as defined.
(b) The $125,000 mortgage note agreement with Citi Real Estate Funding Inc., entered into on May 31, 2019, matures on June 6, 2029, bears interest at 3.63% and requires interest-only payments for the entire term. The Company has the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the note within three months of maturity, without a prepayment premium.
As of February 23, 2024, The City of New York, a municipal corporation acting through the Department of Citywide Administrative Services ("NYC”), notified us of its intention to terminate its lease at 250 Livingston Street effective August 23, 2025. The lease generally provides for rent payments in the amount of $15,400 per annum. We may be unable to replace NYC as a tenant or unable to replace it with other commercial tenants at comparable rent rates, may incur substantial costs to improve the vacated space or may have to offer significant inducements to fill the space, all of which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. In connection with the termination of the 250 Livingston Street lease, pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement related to $125,000 building mortgage, we have established a cash management account for the benefit of the lender, into which we will be obligated to deposit all revenue generated by the building at 250 Livingston Street. All amounts remaining in such cash management account after the lender’s allocations set forth in the loan agreement will be disbursed to us if the tenant cure conditions are satisfied under the loan agreement. If we are unable to replace the NYC lease at comparable rents, we may not be able to cure the conditions listed in the loan agreement, and it could impact our available cash to fund corporate operations and pay dividends and distributions to our stockholders.
On January 2, 2025, the Company was notified that the loan servicing of the loan related to the 250 Livingston Street property was transferred, at our request, to LNR Partners (“LNR”) to serve as special servicer for us to engage in negotiations on a modification of our loan. All remaining servicing has remained with Midland Loan Services (“Midland”). On January 6, 2025, the Company and LNR signed a Pre-Negotiation Letter Agreement to discuss our request for a reduction in the loan. These negotiations continue and there can be no guarantee that they will conclude with an agreement. On October 10, 2024, the Company guaranteed an agreement between the Company's subsidiary, 250 Livingston Owner LLC, and IronHound Management Company LLC, whose principal is the Company's director Roberto Verrone, to provide consulting services regarding the loan related to the 250 Livingston Street property. The initial fee paid upon the agreement is $125 and the agreement also includes restructuring and other fees payable upon certain loan modifications. The arrangement was approved by an independent committee of the Company’s board of directors.
On March 18, 2025, we were notified by legal counsel to the servicer that, due to the failure of our subsidiary, 250 Livingston Owner LLC, to cause all revenue generated by the 250 Livingston Street property to be deposited into the cash management account as required by the loan agreement related to the $125,000 building mortgage loan, an event of default occurred under the $125 million building mortgage loan. The notice provided that if the 250 Livingston Owner LLC fails to cure the event of default, the lender may, among other things, accelerate the $125,000 building mortgage loan and demand all amounts owing to the lender to be immediately payable, institute proceedings for the foreclosure of all liens securing the loan and sell the 250 Livingston Street Property, or file a lawsuit against the 250 Livingston owner LLC or the guarantors. On May 8, 2025, the Company transferred $6,300 to the cash management account prior to the activation of the cash management account. As of May 12, 2025, the Company has complied with the lender’s requirement to have the deposits made by all tenants deposited directly into the cash management account. On May 15, 2025, legal counsel for the lender notified us that they alleged that we were in default on the $125,000 mortgage loan due to its allegation that Clipper Realty Inc. (the “Guarantor”) did not maintain a net worth of not less than $100,000 as of December 31, 2024, as required under the loan agreement. The Company replied to the lender disputing such calculation and alleging that the lender did not calculate net worth in a reasonable manner. The Company provided the lender with its own calculation of net worth that shows a net worth in excess of the required amount. On May 28, 2025, the lender replied concurring with the Company and notifying that they agree that we are compliant with the $100 million requirement. On July 28, 2025, we were notified by legal counsel for the lender that they alleged that we were once again in default for failure to remit all revenue derived from 250 Livingston into the cash management account. The Company responded by disputing the allegations in July 28, 2025, letter and noting that all rents from the tenants had been deposited into the cash management account.
On October 6, 2025, the Company failed to make its required deposit to the cash management account to fund the interest and tax escrow deposit for September 2025. The Company received notices of nonpayment on October 20, 2025 and November 12, 2025, but has not received a notice of the acceleration of the loan. The loan documents state that a failure to pay interest within five days of due date is an event of default. On November 12, 2025, the Company sent a letter to Midland requesting that the loan be immediately fully transferred to Special Servicing for potential loan modifications because the Borrower does not plan to continue to support the ongoing operating and debt service shortfall related to 250 Livingston Street property. Although the Company is in the process of negotiating a Consent and Cooperation Agreement for the sale of the property, there can be no assurance that such Consent and Cooperation Agreement will be consummated.
(c) Our subsidiary, 141 Livingston Owner LLC (the “141 Borrower”) and Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. entered into the loan agreement related to a $100,000 loan on February 18, 2021. The loan is evidenced by promissory mortgage notes and secured by the 141 Livingston Street property. The Company and our Operating Partnership subsidiary serve as limited guarantors of certain obligations under the loan, including those related to the reserve monthly deposit discussed below.
The $100,000 loan matures on March 6, 2031, bears interest at 3.21% and requires interest-only payments for the entire term. The company has the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the note within three months of maturity, without a prepayment premium.
The 141 Livingston Street lease expires on December 27, 2025. Should the lease not be extended for a minimum offive years, in accordance with terms of the mortgage note, the Company will be required to either fund a reserve account in the amount of $10,000 payable in equal monthly payments over the 18 months after lease expiration or deliver to the lender a letter of credit in the amount of $10,000.
On October 28, 2024, the Company received notice that as of October 7, 2024 the servicing of the mortgage note was transferred to a special servicer (“Special Servicer”) due to, Company’s alleged failure to make certain required payments under the loan agreement, including, but not limited to, reserve monthly deposit starting on July 7, 2024. The Special Servicer has demanded that the company pay $2,222 of reserve payments into a reserve account immediately (for July-October 2024) and continued monthly payments of $555 for an additional 14 months, $1,166 of default interest and late charges through October 7, 2024, and an additional $10 per diem interest for each day thereafter.
On November 11, 2024, the Special Servicer notified the 141 Borrower that, due to its alleged event of default under the Loan Agreement, as a result of the failure to make the payments described above, the mortgage notes have been accelerated, and all amounts under the loan agreement were due and payable. Such amounts include, but are not limited to, $100,000 principal amount of the mortgage notes, approximately $5,000 of default yield maintenance premium, $10,000 aggregate reserve deposit, and the above-described penalty default interest and penalties.
The Company believes that (i) the Company has made timely payments under the loan agreement, (ii) the servicer and the Special Servicer have misinterpreted the terms of the loan agreement requiring monthly reserve payments beginning on July 7, 2024, (iii) the Company has no current obligation to make such reserve payments under the loan agreement and (iv) The Company should not be obligated to pay the default interest and late charges.
On December 18, 2024, the Company received notice from the Special Servicer that due to its allegation that Clipper Realty Inc. (the “Guarantor”) did not maintain a net worth of not less than $100,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, as required under the loan agreement, the Company is in default on the loan. The Company replied to the Special Servicer disputing such calculation and alleging that the Special Servicer did not calculate net worth in a reasonable manner. The Company provided the Special Servicer with its own calculation of net worth that shows a net worth in excess of the required amount.
On January 21, 2025, the Company received notice from the Special Servicer alleging that certain elements of our insurance on the building at 141 Livingston Street are not in compliance with the loan agreement requirements, including, but not limited to, due to a deductible in excess of what is permitted under the terms of the loan agreement and the use of an insurance carrier with a rating agency rating below that which is permitted under the terms of the loan agreement.
On March 12, 2025, the Company received a letter from counsel to the successor to the Special Servicer reaffirming the occurrence of alleged events of default under the loan agreement described above and demanding the establishment of a restricted account, a cash management account and a debt service account. In addition, the letter demanded that tenants of 141 Livingston Street be sent notices directing them to make lease payments to the cash management account.
The Company believes that it is not required to establish the foregoing accounts or send such notices to the tenants. However, if the Company were to be required to establish such accounts and deliver such notices, it could impact our available cash to fund corporate operations and pay dividends and distributions to our stockholders.
On March 20, 2025, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee for the benefit of the registered holders of certain pass-through certificates issued by trusts that are the holders of the promissory mortgage notes secured by the 141 Livingston Street property, referred to as “Plaintiff,” filed a lawsuit against 141 Borrower, as well as us and our Operating Partnership subsidiary, as guarantors, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Plaintiff demands, among other things, that (i) the 141 Livingston Street property be sold and the Plaintiff be paid the amounts due under the loan agreement, with interest thereon to the time of such payment, together with, among other items, the expenses of the sale, Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees; (ii) Plaintiff be paid all rents and revenues of the 141 Livingston Street property as they become due and payable; (iii) a receiver be appointed to manage the 141 Livingston Street property, with power among other things to demand and recover payment from anyone who has received a distribution from 141 Borrower after any event of default; (iv) Plaintiff have such other and further relief as may be just and equitable; (v) guarantors pay to Plaintiff the amount of any losses or damages suffered or incurred by Plaintiff as the court may determine to be just and equitable and amounts owed under the guaranty. We believe that the claims set forth in this complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
On April 7, 2025, the Company filed an Affirmation in opposition to the motion of the plaintiff for their appointment of a receiver and in support of defendants’ cross motion to dismiss the action and cancel notice of pendency with the Supreme Court of the state of New York County of Kings. A hearing on the motions was scheduled to be had on April 8, 2025, and was adjourned until May 6, 2025. The Plaintiff submitted additional filings on April 29, 2025, and the Company submitted its replies on May 6, 2025. On May 13, 2025, the Court denied (i) the Plaintiff’s motion to appoint a receiver to manage the 141 Livingston Street property, “as Plaintiff’s likelihood of ultimately prevailing on its claims herein appears remote” and (ii) the Company’s cross motion to dismiss the lawsuit, “as Plaintiff’s contentions do raise a question of fact”.
In April 2025, the Company and the City of New York agreed to the terms of afive-year extension of the current lease, with an option for the City of New York to terminate the lease aftertwo years with a priorsix-month notice. The City of New York has sent the lease to the Company to sign. On April 22, 2025, the Company sent the lease to the loan special servicer for approval in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. On May 21, 2025, the special servicer approved the lease subject to certain conditions. The Company rejected the conditions that, amongst other changes, required us to change the terms of the cancellation provisions in the lease and make amendments to the loan documents to be in line with the lender’s allegations in the above lawsuit. The lease is now subject to the overall litigation dispute and there can be no assurance that the lease will be approved or finalized.
On June 11, 2025, the lender filed an appeal of the denial of the receiver. On June 23, 2025, the Lender filed an amended complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that its conditions for its consent to the lease were reasonable. On July 2, 2025, the lender filed a renewed motion for a temporary receiver. On July 11, 2025, the Company filed an answer with counter claims, seeking declaratory relief among other things that the lenders’ conditions are unreasonable for the proposed lease renewal. On July 18, 2025, the Company filed opposition to the renewed receiver motion. On July 30, 2025, the judge heard arguments on the renewed motion for a temporary receiver. The Company filed opposition on September 30, 2025, and the motion is currently scheduled for hearing on December 16, 2025.
On September 30, 2025, the court denied the Plaintiff’s renewed motion for a receiver. The court ruled, however, that if the City of New York exercises its option to terminate early under the proposed lease extension, the Company will be required to pay $2,000 on the first day of each month thereafter until a total of $10,000 has been accumulated. Under this decision and order, failure of the Company to fund the reserve fund at that time would be grounds for the Lender to submit an order appointing a receiver to the court of endorsement. On October 28, 2025, the lender filed a notice of appeal of the court’s decision.
The Company believes that the Plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
On October 27, 2025, the Civil Appeals Management Program (“CAMP”) of the Appellate Division, Second Department New York State Court of Appeals conducted a mandatory conference in which the Company and the Plaintiff participated to attempt to reach a settlement of the pending litigation. Another settlement conference took place on November 13, 2025.

On February 9, 2023, the Company refinanced this construction loan with a mortgage loan with Valley National Bank which provided for maximum borrowings of $80,000. The loan provided initial funding of $60,000 and a further $20,000 subject to achievement of certain financial targets. The loan has a term offive years and an initial annual interest rate of 5.7% subject to reduction by up to 25 basis points upon achievement of certain financial targets (during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company achieved the applicable financial target, and the interest rate was reduced to 5.55%).

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
GAAP requires the measurement of certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, GAAP requires the measure of other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| • | Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
| • | Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establishes a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources.
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The financial assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, security deposits and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and security deposits reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable, which are classified as Level 2, is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows of each debt instrument to their present value using adjusted market interest rates.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the notes payable are as follows:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| (unaudited) | ||
| Carrying amount (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) | $1,281,158 | $1,275,359 |
| Estimated fair value | $1,257,586 | $1,209,629 |
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
On July 3, 2017, the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Court”) ruled in favor of 41 present or former tenants of apartment units at the Company’s buildings located at 50 Murray Street and 53 Park Place in Manhattan, New York (the Tribeca House property), who brought an action (the “Kuzmich” case) against the Company alleging that they were subject to applicable rent stabilization laws with the result that rental payments charged by the Company exceeded amounts permitted under these laws because the buildings were receiving certain tax abatements under Real Property Tax Law (“RPTL”) 421-g. The Court also awarded the plaintiffs- tenants their attorney’s fees and costs. After various court proceedings and discussions from 2018-2022, on March 4, 2022, the court issued a ruling, finalized on May 9, 2022, on the rent overcharges to which the plaintiffs are entitled. While the court ruled that the overcharges to which the plaintiffs are entitled total $1,200, the court agreed with the Company’s legal arguments that rendered the overcharge liability lower than it could have been, and therefore the Company did not appeal the ruling. On June 23, 2022, the court ruled that the plaintiffs are entitled to attorneys’ fees incurred through February 28, 2022, in the amount of $400. The only remaining outstanding issues of which the Company is aware relate to the proper form of rent-stabilized renewal leases for the six plaintiffs who remain as tenants in the building. The parties are seeking judicial intervention to resolve this remaining issue. On July 17, 2023, a hearing was held at which the Judicial Hearing Officer (“JHO”) determined five (5) of the tenant’s lease renewal amounts, term and form. The amount of the lease renewal concerning the sixth plaintiff was made on August 28, 2023. At this time the Company is awaiting the execution and return of all the lease renewals. On June 14, 2024, the Court amended its August 28, 2023, decision, holding that no renewal lease had been entered into by one of the remaining tenants who claimed to have entered into a renewal lease at a preferential rent. On July 20, 2024, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal from the June 14, 2024, decision. On August 13, 2024, the JHO issued a Determination awarding attorneys’ fees to plaintiffs’ attorneys in the amount of $13 for the Kuzmich matter. On December 31, 2024, the Company filed a notice of appeal from the August 13, 2024, JHO determination. The Company is preparing to comply with the JHO’s Determinations regarding renewal leases, overcharge payments and payment of attorney’s fees. The matter is currently pending.
On November 18, 2019, the same law firm which filed the Kuzmich case filed a second action involving a separate group of 26 tenants (captioned Crowe et al v 50 Murray Street Acquisition LLC, Supreme Court, New York County, Index No. 161227/19), which action advances essentially the same claims as in Kuzmich. The Company’s deadline to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint in Crowe had been extended to June 30, 2020; on such date, the Company filed its answer to the complaint. Pursuant to the court’s rules, on July 16, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint; the sole difference as compared to the initial complaint is that seven new plaintiffs-tenants were added to the caption; there were no substantive changes to the complaint’s allegations. On August 5, 2020, the Company filed its answer to the amended complaint. The case was placed on the court’s calendar and was next scheduled for a discovery conference on November 16, 2022. Counsel for the parties have been engaged in and are continuing settlement discussions. On November 16, 2022, the court held a compliance conference and ordered the plaintiffs to provide rent overcharge calculations in response to proposed calculations previously provided by the Company. On July 12, 2023, the court referred this matter to a JHO to determine the outstanding issues. A hearing before the JHO was held in September 2023. On September 19, 2024 the JHO entered two orders, (1) a June 5, 2024 Determination determining the amount of rent overcharges, if any, due to each of the plaintiffs and the lease renewal amounts, term and form of lease for the plaintiffs remaining in occupancy of four units and (2) a September 3, 2024 Determination sustaining the June 5, 2024 JHO determination which set another plaintiffs rent but reducing the overcharge amount owed to the plaintiff. On October 21, 2024, the Company filed a notice of appeal from the September 3, 2024 JHO order. In addition, on August 13, 2024, the JHO issued a Determination awarding attorneys’ fees to plaintiffs’ attorneys in the amount of $63 for the Crowe matter. This Determination was entered on November 25, 2024. On December 31, 2024, the Company moved to appeal from the August 13, 2024, JHO determination. The Company is preparing to comply with the JHO’s determinations. The matter is currently pending.
On March 9, 2021, the same law firm which filed the Kuzmich and Crowe cases filed a third action involving another tenant (captioned Horn v 50Murray Street Acquisition LLC, Supreme Court, New York County, Index No. 152415/21), which action advances the same claims as in Kuzmich and Crowe. The Company filed its answer to the complaint on May 21, 2021. On September 19, 2024 the JHO entered a June 5, 2024 order which determined, among other things, the amount of rent overcharge, the lease renewal amount, term and form of lease for plaintiff Horn. In addition, On August 13, 2024 the JHO issued a Determination awarding attorneys’ fees to plaintiffs’ attorneys in the amount of $18 for the Horn matter. This Determination was entered on November 25, 2024. On December 31, 2024, the Company filed a notice of appeal from the August 13, 2024 JHO determination.
As a result of the March 4 and May 9, 2022 decisions which established the probability and ability to reasonably compute amounts owed to tenants for all the cases, the Company recorded a charge for litigation settlement and other of $2,700 in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021 comprising rent overcharges, interest and legal costs of plaintiff’s counsel. The Company paid $2,300 to the plaintiffs related to the Kuzmich case during the year ended December 31, 2022 and $400 related to the Crowe case during the third quarter of 2023.
Based on the JHO determinations made in 2024, the Company accrued an additional $175 for the plaintiffs and $94 for attorney fees. The Company paid the accrued balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
In addition to the above, the Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with its business. Management believes, based in part upon consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows
On October 15, 2021, Rodney Sanchez (“Plaintiff”) filed a Class and Collective Action Complaint (the “Complaint”) against and the Company and certain of its affiliates and Clipper Equity LLC (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Plaintiff alleged that he was jointly employed by the Defendants and that the Defendants: (a) failed to pay Plaintiff and similarly situated employees overtime in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and New York Labor Law (“NYLL”); (b) failed to pay Plaintiff and similarly situated employees for training sessions in violation of the FLSA and NYLL; (c) failed to pay Plaintiff and similarly situated employees on a timely basis in violation of NYLL; and (d) failed to provide Plaintiff and similarly situated employees with wage statements and wage notices as required by NYLL. The Company has denied the allegations and intends to defend both the allegations and the class certification action. Given the uncertainty of litigation, the preliminary stage of the case and the legal standards that must be met for, among other things, class certification and success on the merits, the Company cannot estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may result from this action and therefore no accrual has been made related to this.
On November 22, 2024, The New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services issued the results of its audit of the Company’s operating expense escalation charges for the period of June 2014 to December 2018. The audit resulted in a claim by the City for the Company to pay the City $1,152. The Company is evaluating the results of the audit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, New York City withheld rent to satisfy the claim. Based on the results of the audit the Company was adequately reserved to cover this payment and it did not have any impact on the Company’s operating results in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025.
On March 20, 2025, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee for the benefit of the registered holders of certain pass-through certificates issued by trusts that are the holders of the promissory mortgage notes secured by the 141 Livingston Street property, referred to as “Plaintiff,” filed a lawsuit against 141 Borrower, as well as us and our Operating Partnership subsidiary, as guarantors, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Plaintiff demands, among other things, that (i) the 141 Livingston Street property be sold and the Plaintiff be paid the amounts due under the loan agreement, with interest thereon to the time of such payment, together with, among other items, the expenses of the sale, Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees; (ii) Plaintiff be paid all rents and revenues of the 141 Livingston Street property as they become due and payable; (iii) a receiver be appointed to manage the 141 Livingston Street property, with power among other things to demand and recover payment from anyone who has received a distribution from 141 Borrower after any event of default; (iv) Plaintiff have such other and further relief as may be just and equitable; (v) guarantors pay to Plaintiff the amount of any losses or damages suffered or incurred by Plaintiff as the court may determine to be just and equitable and amounts owed under the guaranty. We believe that the claims set forth in this complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
On April 7, 2025, the Company filed an Affirmation in opposition to the motion of the Plaintiff for the appointment of a receiver and in support of defendants cross motion to dismiss the action and cancel notice of pendency with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings. A hearing on the motions was scheduled for April 8, 2025, but it was adjourned until May 6, 2025. The Plaintiff submitted additional filings on April 29, 2025, and the Company submitted its replies on May 6, 2025. On May 13, 2025, the Court denied (i) the Plaintiff’s motion to appoint a receiver to manage the 141 Livingston Street property, “as Plaintiff’s likelihood of ultimately prevailing on its claims herein appears remote” and (ii) the Company’s cross motion to dismiss the lawsuit, “as Plaintiff’s contentions do raise a question of fact”.
In April 2025, the Company and the City of New York agreed to the terms of a five-year extension of the current lease, with an option for the City of New York to terminate the lease after two years with a prior six-month notice. The City of New York has sent the lease to the Company to sign. On April 22, 2025, the Company sent the lease to the loan special servicer for approval in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. On May 21, 2025, the special servicer approved the lease subject to certain conditions. The Company rejected the conditions that, amongst other changes, required us to change the terms of the cancellation provisions in the lease and make amendments to the loan documents to be in line with the lender’s allegations in the above lawsuit. The lease is now subject to the overall litigation dispute and there can be no assurance that the lease will be approved or finalized.
On June 11, 2025, the lender filed an appeal of the denial of the receiver. On June 23, 2025, the Lender filed an amended complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that its conditions for its consent to the lease were reasonable. On July 2, 2025, the lender filed a renewed motion for a temporary receiver. On July 11, 2025, the Company filed an answer with counter claims, seeking declaratory relief among other things that the lenders’ conditions are unreasonable for the proposed lease renewal. On July 18, 2025, the Company filed opposition to the renewed receiver motion. On July 30, 2025, the judge heard arguments on the renewed motion for a temporary receiver. The Company filed opposition on September 30, 2025, and the motion is currently scheduled for hearing on December 16, 2025.
On September 30, 2025, the court denied the Plaintiff’s renewed motion for a receiver. The court ruled, however, that if the City of New York exercises its option to terminate early under the proposed lease extension, the Company will be required to pay $2,000 on the first day of each month thereafter until a total of $10,000 has been accumulated. Under this decision and order, failure of the Company to fund the reserve fund at that time would be grounds for the Lender to submit an order appointing a receiver to the court of endorsement. On October 28, 2025, the lender filed a notice of appeal of the court’s decision.
The Company believes that the Plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
On October 27, 2025, the Civil Appeals Management Program (“CAMP”) of the Appellate Division, Second Department New York State Court of Appeals conducted a mandatory conference in which the Company and the Plaintiff participated to attempt to reach a settlement of the pending litigation. Another settlement conference took place on November 13, 2025.
Commitments
June 29, 2023, the Company entered into the Article 11 Agreement. Under this agreement, the Company entered into a Housing Repair and Maintenance Letter Agreement in which the Company agreed to perform certain capital improvements to Flatbush Gardens over the next 3 years. The current estimate is that the costs of that work will be an amount up to $27,000. The Company expects those costs to be offset by the savings provided by a property tax exemption and enhanced payments for tenants receiving government assistance. Through September 30, 2025, the Company spent approximately $18,900 million on capital improvements required under the HRMLA.
On September 25, 2025, the Company signed an amendment to its lease with Equinox Tribeca Inc. (“Equinox”) which extended the term of the lease until August 31, 2040, increased rent, and provided for a cumulative $3,000 renovation allowance creditable against rent through 2032 (see note 5 above).
Concentrations
The Company’s properties are located in the Boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City, which exposes the Company to greater economic risks than if it owned a more geographically dispersed portfolio.

9. Segment Reporting
The Company is a New York City real estate investment trust that is focused on developing, redeveloping and operating properties in the commercial and residential space.
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), represented by our Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, reviews the results in which the revenue and Income from Operations is divided between the commercial and residential performance. This metric enables the CODM to evaluate how the business is growing, as revenue is the key driver of growth. Additionally, the CODM uses segment income (loss) to allocate resources in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget to actual variances when making decisions about allocating capital to each segment.

10. Impairment of long-lived assets
On March 31, 2025 the Company determined that its long-lived asset group related to 10 West 65 th Street met the qualifications for an asset held for sale by determining that the sale of 10 West 65 th Street was probable in addition to the other five criteria previously met. That determination was based on indications that the Company received that it was probable that a purchaser was prepared to purchase 10 West 65 th Street at a price the Company would be willing to transact.
Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair-value less costs to sell. As such, the Company recorded an impairment of the asset held for sale of $33,780 on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and in the residential segment in the Company’s segment reporting (see footnote 9), based on the estimated selling price of $45.5 less carrying costs in investment in real estate, net, and estimated selling costs expected at the time of the sale. See footnote 1 for details of the completion of transaction to dispose of the long-lived assets.
