Community District 17 is a mixed-income community. We believe Flatbush Gardens represents an entry-level, low-cost option in the market and that we will increasingly draw tenants who have been priced out of other New York City sub-markets. The neighborhood surrounding the Flatbush Gardens complex is residential on all sides. The Newkirk Avenue subway station, which is serviced by the No. 2 and No. 5 trains, is located on the west side of the complex. Brooklyn College is located 0.6 miles along Nostrand Avenue to the south of Flatbush Gardens. The No. 2 and No. 5 trains, which service both Flatbush Gardens and Brooklyn College, provide direct access to the west side and east side, respectively, of Manhattan, as well as other points in Brooklyn. Two large regional medical centers are located within a mile of the complex.

We have 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.
141 Livingston Street
The 141 Livingston Street property is a 15-story office building with 206,084 commercial square feet, located on a 0.26-acre site in Downtown Brooklyn. The property’s main commercial tenant, the City of New York, executed a 10-year lease in December 2015; under the agreement, the annual rent increased by 25%, or $2.1 million, beginning at the end of December 2020. The lease expired on December 27, 2025. The City of New York continues to occupy the building under the holdover provision in the expired lease and pays rent at the same level as was required under the lease. The property is located approximately 500 feet from the Jay Street-Metrotech, Hoyt-Schermerhorn, Hoyt Street, and Borough Hall subway stops, offering direct one-stop access to the east and west sides of Manhattan, as well as access to surrounding regions of Brooklyn and Queens, and connections to every other New York City subway line. The property is located near the Fulton Street Mall, a pedestrian mall that runs along Fulton Street between Boerum Place and Flatbush Avenue, and is within walking distance of Barclays Center and Atlantic Avenue. In addition, the property includes an adjacent lot at 22 Smith Street, currently used as a parking lot measuring approximately 5,000 square feet.

The 141 Livingston Street property is encumbered by a mortgage note to Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. with a balance of $100 million as of December 31, 2025. The note matures on March 6, 2031, bears interest at 3.21% and requires interest-only payments for the entire term. We have the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the loan within three months of maturity, without a prepayment premium.
The 141 Livingston Street lease expired on December 27, 2025. We and NYC are in the process of finalizing negotiations regarding a five-year extension of the expired lease. There can be no assurance that the negotiations will conclude with an agreement and if we were unable to finalize and agreement and NYC was to decide vacate the building, we would be at risk of not being able to replace NYC as a tenant, leasing the space below the current rates, incurring costs to improve the space or offer other inducements to fill the space, all of which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow
Our subsidiary, 141 Livingston Owner LLC (the “Borrower”) and Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. entered into the loan agreement related to a $100 million loan. The loan is evidenced by promissory mortgage notes and secured by the 141 Livingston Street property. We 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.
If we are not able to extend or replace the NYC lease at our 141 Livingston Street property for a minimum of a five-year term, we will be required to either fund a reserve account in the amount of $10 million 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 million
On October 28, 2024, we received notice that, as of October 7, 2024, the servicing of the mortgage notes was transferred to a special servicer (the "Special Servicer”) due to our alleged failure to make certain required payments under the loan agreement, including, but not limited to, the reserve deposit starting on July 7, 2024. The Special Servicer demanded that we pay (i) $2.2 million of reserve payments into a reserve account immediately (for July-October 2024) and continued monthly payments of $555,555 for an additional 14 months, (ii) $1.2 million of default interest and late charges through October 7, 2024, and (iii) an additional $10,417 per diem interest for each day thereafter.
On November 11, 2024, the Special Servicer notified the 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 included, but were not limited to, $100.0 million principal amount of the mortgage notes, approximately $5.0 million of default yield maintenance premium, $10.0 million aggregate reserve deposit, and the above-described penalty default interest and penalties.
We believe that (i) we have 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) we have no current obligation to make such reserve payments under the loan agreement and (iv) we should not be obligated to pay the default interest and late charges.
On December 18, 2024, we received notice from the Special Servicer that due to its allegation that we as the Guarantor did not maintain a net worth of not less than $100 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, as required under the loan agreement, we were in default on the loan. We replied to the Special Servicer disputing such calculation and alleging that the Special Servicer did not calculate net worth in a reasonable manner. We provided the Special Servicer with our own calculation of net worth that shows a net worth in excess of the required amount.
On January 21, 2025, we received notice from the Special Servicer alleging that certain elements of our insurance on the building at 141 Livingston Street were 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, we 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.
We believe that we are not required to establish the foregoing accounts or send such notices to the tenants. However, if we are 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 the 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, we 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 we submitted our 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, we and the NYC agreed to the terms of a five-year extension of the then current lease, with an option for the NYC to terminate the lease after two years with a prior six month notice. NYC has sent the lease to us to sign. On April 22, 2025, we 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. We 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 lenders allegations in the above lawsuit. 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 counterclaims, seeking among other things declaratory relief that the lenders conditions are unreasonable for the proposed lease renewal. On July 18, 2025, we filed opposition to the renewed receiver motion. On July 30, 2025, the judge heard arguments on the renewed motion for a temporary receiver. On July 31, 2025, the lender filed a motion to dismiss the Company’s counterclaims. The Company filed opposition on September 30, 2025, and the motion was 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. On October 28, 2025, the lender filed a notice of appeal of the court’s decision. 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 December 24, 2025, the Company entered into the Loan Modification Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee for the benefit of the registered holders of certain commercial mortgage pass-through certificates related to the Loan (collectively, the “Lender”), to settle the ongoing litigation between the Lender, the Borrower, the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Agreement became effective on December 30, 2025. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company provided a $10 million renewal tenant reserve account letter of credit and paid fees of approximately $2.2 million to the special servicer and to counsel to the Lender, the Lender waived its claimed late charges and default interest, agreed to dismiss with prejudice the pending foreclosure actions, and approved the previously submitted five-year lease extension with the Property’s New York City tenant effective December 28, 2025.

The 250 Livingston Street property is encumbered by a mortgage note to Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. with a balance of $125.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The note matures on June 6, 2029, bears interest at 3.63% and requires interest-only payments for the entire term. We have the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the loan within three months of maturity, without a prepayment premium.
The City of New York, a municipal corporation acting through the Department of Citywide Administrative Services ("NYC”), terminated its lease at 250 Livingston Street effective August 23, 2025, and they vacated the space on that date. The lease generally provided for rent payments in the amount of $15.4 million 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.
On March 18, 2025, we were notified by legal counsel to the servicer for the loan related to the 250 Livingston Street property 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 million 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 million 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. As of May 12, 2025, we have complied with the lender’s requirement to have the deposits made by all tenants deposited directly into the cash management account. On May 8, 2025, we transferred $6.3 million to the cash management account to cover amounts owed prior to the activation of the cash management account. On May 15, 2025, legal counsel for the lender notified us that they allege that we are in default on the $125 million mortgage loan due to its allegation that we, as the guarantor, did not maintain a net worth of not less than $100 million as of December 31, 2024, as required under the loan agreement. We replied to the lender disputing such calculation and alleging that the lender did not calculate net worth in a reasonable manner and provided our lender with our own calculation of net worth that shows a net worth in excess of the required amount. On May 28, 2025, the lender replied to us concurring with us and notifying us 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. We responded by disputing the allegations in May 8, 2025, letter and noting all rents from the tenants have been deposited into the cash management account.
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 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. 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.
On December 18, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Special Servicer notifying the Company that it is in default under the Note and other Loan documents by virtue of, among other things, its failure to pay all amounts when due thereunder. The notice indicated that the Lender would take all such actions as it deems appropriate to protect its interest in the Loan and to collect the debt thereunder including, without limitation, seeking foreclosure and/or reconveyance of its security under the Loan documents. In accordance with the Loan documents, the Company is subject to default interest at a rate of an additional 5% per annum. The Company believes that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company owed approximately $3,643 in interest and default interest. There is no assurance that the Lender would not impose penalties or any other obligations on the Borrower in connection with this event of default.
On January 7, 2026, the Borrower received a letter from counsel for the Lender and the special servicer for the Lender, notifying the Borrower that it is in default under the Loan Agreement, the Note and other loan documents by virtue of, among other things, its failure to pay all amounts when due thereunder from October 6, 2025 through and including January 6, 2026. The letter indicated that the Lender’s counsel would assist the Lender in taking all such actions as it deems appropriate to protect its interest in the Loan and to collect the debt thereunder including, without limitation, seeking foreclosure and/or reconveyance of its security under the loan documents.
