- Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s subsidiaries include the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries that are, directly or indirectly, wholly owned or in which the Company has a controlling interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE") in accordance with the consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on management’s historical experience and best judgment after considering past, current, and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates.
Segments
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the CODM reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. The CODM evaluates the performance of each of the Company’s properties and real estate ventures individually and aggregates such properties into segments based on their economic characteristics and classes of tenants. The Company operates infive business segments: (i) retail real estate, (ii) office real estate, (iii) multifamily real estate, (iv) general contracting and real estate services, and (v) real estate financing. The Company’s general contracting and real estate services business develops and builds properties for its own account and also provides construction and development services to both related and third parties. The Company's real estate financing segment includes the Company's real estate financing loans and preferred equity investments on development projects. The Company's CODM has been identified to collectively include the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer for the years ending December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Reclassifications
Certain items have been reclassified from their prior year classifications to conform to the current year presentation. Effective for the year ended December 31, 2023 and future years, the Company changed the presentation of its consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reclassified interest income of $17.0 million from non-operating income to operating income. As a result, total revenues and operating income increased by $17.0 million compared to the previous reporting. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholder's equity as previously reported. Refer to Note 3 for additional information.
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company reclassified amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases of $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, from its separate financial statement line item to be included within depreciation and amortization. As a result, depreciation and amortization for the years then ended increased similarly, compared to previous reporting. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholder's equity as previously reported.
Revenue Recognition
Rental Revenues
The Company leases its properties under operating leases and recognizes base rents when earned on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rental revenues include $8.3 million, $6.4 million and $6.2 million of straight-line rent adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The Company begins recognizing rental revenue when the tenant has the right to take possession of or controls the physical use of the property under lease. The extended collection period for accrued straight-line rental revenue along with the Company’s evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the nonrecognition of all or a portion of straight-line rental revenue until the collection of substantially all such revenue for a tenant is probable. The Company recognizes contingent rental revenue (e.g., percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. The Company recognizes leasing incentives as reductions to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leasing incentive amortization was $0.4 million, $0.6 million, and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. The Company recognizes fair value adjustments recorded at the time of lease assumption in rental income on a straight-line basis as a reduction to revenue over the remaining life of the lease or any renewal periods for which the Company determines have value at the time of acquisition. The Company recognizes cost reimbursement revenue for real estate taxes, operating expenses, and common area maintenance costs on an accrual basis during the periods in which the expenses are incurred. The Company recognizes lease termination fees either upon termination or amortizes them over any remaining lease term.
General Contracting and Real Estate Services Revenues
The Company recognizes general contracting revenues as a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For each construction contract, the Company identifies the performance obligations, which typically include the delivery of a single building constructed according to the specifications of the contract. The Company estimates the total transaction price, which generally includes a fixed contract price and may also include variable components such as early completion bonuses, liquidated damages, or cost savings to be shared with the customer. Variable components of the contract price are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The Company recognizes the estimated transaction price as revenue as it satisfies its performance obligations; the Company estimates its progress in satisfying performance obligations for each contract using the input method, based on the proportion of incurred costs relative to total estimated construction costs at completion. Construction contract costs include all direct material, direct labor, subcontract costs, and overhead costs directly related to contract performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, are all significant judgments that may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Additionally, the estimated costs at completion are affected by management’s forecasts of anticipated costs to be incurred and contingency reserves for exposures related to unknown costs, such as design deficiencies and subcontractor defaults. The estimated variable consideration is also affected by claims and unapproved change orders, which may result from changes in the scope of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized immediately in the period in which such losses are determined. The Company defers pre-contract costs when such costs are directly associated with specific anticipated contracts and their recovery is probable.
The Company recognizes real estate services revenues from property development and management as it satisfies its performance obligations under these service arrangements.
The Company assesses whether multiple contracts with a single counterparty may be combined into a single contract for the revenue recognition purposes based on factors such as the timing of the negotiation and execution of the contracts and whether the economic substance of the contracts was contemplated separately or in tandem.
Interest Income
Interest income on notes receivable is accrued based on the contractual terms of the loans and when it is deemed collectible. Many loans provide for accrual of interest and fees that will not be paid until maturity of the loan. Interest is recognized on these loans at the accrual rate subject to the determination that accrued interest and fees are ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and the status of development activities, as applicable. If this determination cannot be made, recognition of interest income may be fully or partially deferred until it is ultimately paid. Interest income is also accrued as earned on interest-bearing deposits.
Real Estate Investments
Income producing property primarily includes land, buildings, and tenant improvements and is stated at cost. Real estate investments held for development include land. The Company reclassifies real estate investments held for development to construction in progress upon commencement of construction. Construction in progress is stated at cost. Direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with the development, redevelopment, construction, leasing, or expansion of real estate assets are capitalized as a cost of the property. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company capitalizes direct and indirect project costs associated with the initial development of a property until the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalized project costs include pre-acquisition, development, and preconstruction costs including overhead, salaries, and related costs of personnel directly involved, real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, ground rent, and interest. Interest is also capitalized in relation to the Company's equity method investments for development projects. Interest capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $13.7 million, $8.3 million, and $4.0 million, respectively.
The Company capitalizes predevelopment costs directly identifiable with specific properties when the development of such properties is probable. Capitalized predevelopment costs are presented within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Land for which development activities have not yet commenced are presented separately as land held for development in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized predevelopment costs as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were $1.7 million, and $7.8 million, respectively. Costs attributable to unsuccessful projects are expensed.
Income producing property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| Buildings | 39 years |
|---|---|
| Capital improvements | 5 — 20 years |
| Equipment | 3—7 years |
| Tenant improvements | Term of the related lease (or estimated useful life, if shorter) |
Operating Property Acquisitions
Acquisitions of operating properties have been and will generally be accounted for as acquisitions of a group of assets, with costs incurred to effect an acquisition, including title, legal, accounting, brokerage commissions, and other related costs, being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. In connection with such acquisitions, the Company identifies and recognizes all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocations to tangible assets, such as land, site improvements, and buildings and improvements are presented within income producing property in the consolidated balance sheets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Acquired lease intangible assets are presented as a separate component of assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Acquired lease intangible liabilities are presented within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company amortizes in-place lease assets as depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. The Company amortizes above-market lease assets as reductions to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. The Company amortizes below-market lease liabilities as increases to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. The Company amortizes below-market ground lease assets as increases to depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. Conversely, the Company amortizes above-market ground lease assets as decreases to depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases.
The Company values land based on a market approach, looking to recent sales of similar properties, adjusting for differences due to location, the state of entitlement, as well as the shape and size of the parcel. Improvements to land are valued using a replacement cost approach. The approach applies industry standard replacement costs adjusted for geographic specific considerations and reduced by estimated depreciation. The value of buildings acquired is estimated using the replacement cost approach, assuming the buildings were vacant at acquisition. The replacement cost approach considers the composition of the structures acquired, adjusted for an estimate of depreciation. The estimate of depreciation is made considering industry standard information and depreciation curves for the identified asset classes. The value of acquired lease intangibles considers the estimated cost of leasing the properties as if the acquired buildings were vacant, as well as the value of the current leases relative to market-rate leases. The in-place lease value is determined using an estimated total lease-up time and lost rental revenues during such time. The value of current leases relative to market-rate leases is based on market rents obtained for comparable leases. Given the significance of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of acquired real estate assets, the Company classifies them as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company values debt assumed in connection with operating property acquisitions based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows of the debt. Such analysis considers the contractual terms of the debt, including the period to maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
Real Estate Sales
The Company accounts for the sale of real estate assets and any related gain in accordance with the accounting guidance applicable to sales of real estate, which establishes standards for recognition of profit on all real estate sales transactions other than retail land sales. The Company recognizes the sale and associated gain or loss once it transfers control of the real estate asset and the Company does not have significant continuing involvement.
Real Estate Investments Held for Sale
Real estate assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Once a property is classified as held for sale, it is no longer depreciated. A property is classified as held for sale when: (i) senior management commits to a plan to sell the property, (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to conditions usual and customary for such sales, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated, (iv) the sale is expected to be completed within one year, (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
As of December 31, 2024, an undeveloped land parcel located in Charlotte, North Carolina was classified as held for sale with disposal expected to be completed in 2025. As of December 31, 2023, no properties were classified as held for sale.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is necessary, the Company compares the carrying amount of any such real estate asset with the undiscounted expected future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and eventual disposition. If the carrying amount of a real estate asset exceeds the associated estimate of undiscounted expected future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the real estate asset’s carrying value to its fair value. The impairment charges recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 relate to an undeveloped land parcel in predevelopment located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 represent unamortized leasing or acquired intangible assets related to vacated tenants. Refer to Note 5 for more information.
Equity Method Investments
The Company owns investments in partnerships in which it has significant influence, but its ownership interest does not meet the criteria for consolidation in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, the Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is carried at the cost of assets contributed, plus the Company's equity in earnings less distributions received and the Company's share of losses.
The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairments and records a loss if the carrying value is greater than the fair value of the investment and the impairment is other-than-temporary. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded in relation to the Company's equity method investments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits, investments in money market funds, and investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents amounts held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, and reserves for capital improvements.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable include amounts from tenants for base rents, contingent rents, and cost reimbursements as well as accrued straight-line rental revenue. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, accrued straight-line rental revenue presented within accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets was $39.0 million and $33.6 million, respectively.
The Company’s evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable and the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based primarily upon evaluations of individual accounts receivable, current economic conditions, historical experience, and other relevant factors. The Company establishes a reserve for any receivable associated with a tenant when collection of substantially all operating lease payments for a tenant is not probable. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The Company reflects these amounts as a component of rental income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Notes Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses
Notes receivable primarily represent financing to third parties in the form of mezzanine loans or preferred equity investments for the development of new real estate. The Company's loans are typically made to borrowers who have little or no equity in the underlying development projects. Real estate financing investments are secured, in part, by pledges of ownership interests of the entities that own the underlying real estate. The loans generally have junior liens on the respective real estate projects.
The Company’s allowance for loan losses on notes receivable is evaluated using risk ratings that correspond to probabilities of default and loss given default. Risk ratings are determined for each loan after consideration of progress of development activities, including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected mezzanine and senior loan balances. The Company's risk ratings are as follows:
Pass: loans in this category are adequately collateralized by a development project with conditions materially consistent with the Company's underwriting assumptions.
Special Mention: loans in this category show signs that the economic performance of the project may suffer as a result of slower-than-expected leasing activity or an extended development or marketing timeline. Loans in this category warrant increased monitoring by management.
Substandard: loans in this category may not be fully collected by the Company unless remediation actions are taken. Remediation actions may include obtaining additional collateral or assisting the borrower with asset management activities to prepare the project for sale. The Company will also consider placing the loan on nonaccrual status if it does not believe that additional interest accruals will ultimately be collected.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company measures expected credit losses to be incurred over the remaining contractual term based on the risk rating of each loan. If a loan is rated as substandard, the Company then estimates expected credit losses as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the outstanding loan and the estimated projected sales proceeds of the underlying collateral. Changes to the allowance for loan losses resulting from quarterly evaluations are recorded through provision for unrealized credit losses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The Company's loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to the borrowers over the life of the loan, which future funding commitments are also subject to the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model. The CECL provision related to future loan fundings is recorded as a component of Other Liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. This provision is estimated using the same process outlined above for the Company's outstanding loan balances, and changes in this component of the provision will similarly impact the Company's consolidated net income. For both the funded and unfunded portions of the Company's loans, the Company consider the risk rating of each loan as the primary credit quality indicator underlying its assessment.
The Company places loans on nonaccrual status when the loan balance, together with the balance of any senior loans, approximately equals the estimated realizable value of the underlying development project.
Guarantees
The Company measures and records a liability for the fair value of its guarantees on a nonrecurring basis upon issuance using Level 3 internally-developed inputs. These guarantees typically relate to payments that could be required of the Company to senior lenders on its real estate financing investments. The Company bases its estimated fair value on the market approach, which compares the guarantee terms and credit characteristics of the underlying development project to other projects for which guarantee pricing terms are available. The offsetting entry for the guarantee liability is a premium on the related loan receivable. The liability is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the loan. On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the likelihood of a contingent liability in connection with these guarantees and will record an additional guarantee liability if the unamortized guarantee liability is insufficient.
Leasing Costs
Commissions paid by the Company to third parties to originate a lease are deferred and amortized as depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Leasing costs are presented within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Leasing Incentives
Incentives paid by the Company to tenants are deferred and amortized as reductions to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Leasing incentives are presented within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Debt Issuance Costs
Financing costs are deferred and amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. Debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The amortization of debt issuance costs as interest expense is also subject to capitalization when those costs are associated with a development property, including equity method investments for development projects.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company may enter into interest rate derivatives to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value and presents them within other assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses from derivatives that are neither designated nor qualify as hedging instruments are recognized within the change in fair value of derivatives and other caption in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
For interest rate caps that qualify as cash flow hedges, the premium paid by the Company at inception represents the time value of the instrument and is excluded from the hedge effectiveness assessment. The excluded component is amortized over the life of the derivative instrument and presented within interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company recognized amortization of interest rate cap premiums of $0.4 million, $3.2 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Cash flows for derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows, unless there is an other-than-insignificant financing element present at inception of the derivative financial instrument. For derivatives with an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception due to off-market terms, cash flows are classified as cash flows from investing or financing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows depending on the derivative's off-market nature at inception.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company may issue share-based awards as compensation to officers, employees, non-employee members of the board of directors, and other eligible persons under the Company's Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Equity Plan"). The vesting of the awards issued to the officers and employees is based on either the continued service or employment (time-based), or the absolute and relative total shareholder returns of the Company and continued employment (market-based), as determined by the board of directors at the date of grant. The vesting of the awards issued to non-employee directors is based on continued service (time-based). For time-based awards, the Company recognizes compensation expense for the unvested awards using the accelerated attribution method over the vesting period based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. For performance-based awards, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period for each award, based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, as determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The effect of forfeitures of awards is recorded as they occur.
Non-employee directors may also elect to receive unrestricted shares under the 2013 Plan as compensation that would otherwise be paid in cash for their services. The shares issued to the non-employee directors in lieu of cash compensation are unrestricted and include no vesting conditions. The Company recognized compensation expense for the unrestricted shares issued in lieu of cash compensation based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance.
Compensation cost associated with the vesting of share-based awards is presented within either general and administrative expenses or general contracting and real estate services expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Stock-based compensation for personnel directly involved in the construction and development of a property is capitalized.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For continued qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to pay distributions to stockholders of at least 90% of annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to income tax on net income distributed as dividends to stockholders. The Company is subject to state and local income taxes in some jurisdictions and, in certain circumstances, may also be subject to federal excise taxes on undistributed income. In addition, certain of the Company’s activities must be conducted by subsidiaries that have elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS") subject to both federal and state income taxes. The Operating Partnership conducts its development and construction businesses through a TRS. The related income tax provision or benefit attributable to the profits or losses of a TRS and any taxable income of the Company is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for deferred income tax in accordance with GAAP. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the statutory rates expected to be applied in the periods in which those temporary differences are settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets, all evidence, both positive and negative, is evaluated. Items considered in this analysis include the ability to carry back losses, the reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and expectations of future earnings.
Under GAAP, the amount of tax benefit to be recognized is the amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Management analyzes its tax filing positions in the U.S. federal, state, and local jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns for all open tax years. If, based on this analysis, management determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, the entire amount of unrecognized tax positions would be recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes.
Discontinued Operations
Disposals representing a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results are reported as discontinued operations.
Net Income Per Share
The Company calculates net income per share by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding the weighted-average number of unvested restricted shares and unvested performance units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus any shares that could potentially be outstanding during the period. The potential dilutive shares consist of unvested restricted stock awards calculated using the two-class method and unvested performance units calculated using the treasury stock method. As of December 31, 2024, the number of performance units vested and convertible was 26,500. However, there wereno significant potential dilutive shares outstanding for each of the three years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. As a result, basic and diluted outstanding shares were the same for each period presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 as an update to ASC Topic 280, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-07 requires an entity to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, a description of "other segment items," and the title and position of the chief operating decision maker and allows for more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss if used by the chief operating decision maker. The update also enhances interim disclosure requirements and requirements for entities with a single reportable segment. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Stock Compensation
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 as an update to ASC Topic 718, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods beginning within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-01 was issued to improve GAAP by providing an illustrative example that includes four fact patterns to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether a profits interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718 - Stock Compensation. The Company adopted ASU 2024-01 effective for the year ending December 31, 2024 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 as an update to ASC Topic 740, which will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 enhances the disclosures surrounding income taxes, specifically in relation to the rate reconciliation table and income taxes paid. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 as an update to ASC Topic 220-40, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 was issued to improve the disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and address request from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) in commonly presented expense captions (such as general and administrative expenses). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements.
- Segments
The Company operates its business infive reportable segments: (i) retail real estate, (ii) office real estate, (iii) multifamily real estate, (iv) general contracting and real estate services, and (v) real estate financing. Refer to Note 1 for the composition of properties within each property segment.
Net operating income ("NOI") is the primary measure used by the Company’s CODM to assess segment performance. NOI is calculated as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues for the property segments, general contracting and real estate services revenues for the general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest income for the real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for the property segments, general contracting and real estate services expenses for the general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest expense for the real estate financing segment. Segment NOI for the general contracting and real estate services and real estate financing segments is also referred to as segment gross profit as illustrated in the table below. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Company’s real estate, construction, and real estate financing businesses.
Since the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company retrospectively reclassified certain components of mixed-use properties between the retail, office, and multifamily real estate segments in order to align the components of those properties with their tenant composition. As a result, (i) NOI for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $1.6 million and $0.2 million for the retail and office real estate segments, respectively, and decreased $1.7 million for the multifamily real estate segment, and (ii) NOI for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the retail and office real estate segments, respectively, and decreased $1.6 million for the multifamily real estate segment. These reclassifications had no effect on total property NOI as previously reported. These reclassifications also had no impact on the Company's general contracting and real estate services or real estate financing segments. Additionally, beginning in 2024 annual reporting period, we adopted ASU 2023-07 retrospectively.
The following tables set forth financial information by segment for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 (in thousands) and includes a reconciliation of the primary measure of segment profit (NOI) to Net Income:

Lessor Disclosures
As a lessor, the Company leases its properties under operating leases and recognizes base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also recognizes revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse the Company on an accrual basis for certain expenses such as utilities, janitorial services, repairs and maintenance, security and alarms, parking lot and ground maintenance, administrative services, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes. Rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. In addition, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue (e.g., percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. Many tenant leases includeone or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term fromone to 25 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the tenant's sole discretion. The Company includes a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably certain.

Rowe Price's new global headquarters office building in Baltimore, Maryland. The Company is a noncontrolling partner in the joint venture and serves as the project's general contractor. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company invested $3.0 million in Harbor Point Parcel 3. The Company has a total estimated equity commitment of $52.9 million relating to this project. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Harbor Point Parcel 3 had no operating activity, and therefore the Company received no allocated income.
Based on the terms of the operating agreement, the Company has concluded that Harbor Point Parcel 3 is a VIE and that the Company holds a variable interest. The Company has significant influence over the project due to its 50% ownership interest; however, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. This includes activity as the managing member of the entity, which is a power that is retained by the Company's joint venture partner. Accordingly, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and, therefore, does not consolidate Harbor Point Parcel 3 in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's investment in the project is recorded as an equity method investment in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Interlock
On May 19, 2023, the Company acquired The Interlock. The consideration for such acquisition included the repayment of the Company's outstanding $90.2 million mezzanine loan on the project.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its real estate financing investments. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had six real estate financing investments, which are accounted for as notes receivable, each of which are financing development projects in various stages of completion or lease-up. Each of these projects is subject to a loan that is senior to the Company’s loan. Interest on these loans is paid in kind and is generally not expected to be paid until a sale of the project after completion of the development.
The Company's management performs a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio to determine the risk of credit loss based on the progress of development activities, including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected subordinated and senior loan balances. The Company estimates future losses on its notes receivable using risk ratings that correspond to probabilities of default and loss given default. The Company's risk ratings are as follows:
Pass: loans in this category are adequately collateralized by a development project with conditions materially consistent with the Company's underwriting assumptions.
Special Mention: loans in this category show signs that the economic performance of the project may suffer as a result of slower-than-expected leasing activity or an extended development or marketing timeline. Loans in this category warrant increased monitoring by management.
Substandard: loans in this category may not be fully collected by the Company unless remediation actions are taken. Remediation actions may include obtaining additional collateral or assisting the borrower with asset management activities to prepare the project for sale. The Company will also consider placing the loan on non-accrual status if it does not believe that additional interest accruals will ultimately be collected.
The Company updated the risk ratings for each of its notes receivable as of December 31, 2024 and obtained industry loan loss data relative to these risk ratings. Each of the outstanding loans as of December 31, 2024 was "Pass" rated. The Company’s analysis resulted in an allowance for loan losses of approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. An allowance related to unfunded commitments of approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2024 was recorded as Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
At December 31, 2024, the Company reported $132.6 million of notes receivable, net of allowances of $1.9 million. At December 31, 2023, the Company reported $94.2 million of notes receivable, net of allowances of $1.5 million.
Changes in the allowance for funded and unfunded commitments for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (in thousands):
| Year ended December 31, 2024 | Year ended December 31, 2023 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Funded | Unfunded | Total | Funded | Unfunded | Total | |

| Ending balance | $1,852 | $509 | $2,361 | $1,472 | $732 | $2,204 |
The Company places loans on non-accrual status when the loan balance, together with the balance of any senior loan, approximately equals the estimated realizable value of the underlying development project. As of December 31, 2024, no loans were placed on non-accrual status.
- Construction Contracts

Credit Facility
On August 23, 2022, the Company, as parent guarantor, and the Operating Partnership, as borrower, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $550.0 million credit facility comprised of a $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 22, 2027, withtwo six-month extension options, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 21, 2028.
On August 29, 2023, the Company increased the capacity of the revolving credit facility by $105.0 million by exercising the accordion feature in part, bringing the revolving credit facility capacity to $355.0 million and the total credit facility capacity to $655.0 million.
On June 14, 2024, the term loan facility commitment increased by $50 million to $350.0 million as a result of an existing lender increasing its outstanding commitment.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, and the term loan facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, in each case depending on the Company's total leverage. The Company is also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and
Moody's Investors Service, Inc., the Operating Partnership may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility was $145.0 million and $267.0 million, respectively. The outstanding balance on the term loan facility was $350.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and $300.0 million as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility, before giving effect to interest rate swaps, were 6.42% and 6.22%, respectively. After giving effect to interest rate swaps, the effective interest rates on each of the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 4.47% as of December 31, 2024. The Operating Partnership may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Company's ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
M&T Term Loan Facility

The proceeds from the M&T term loan facility were used to repay the loans secured by the Wills Wharf, 249 Central Park Retail, Fountain Plaza Retail, and South Retail properties. The M&T term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of March 8, 2027, with aone-year extension option, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee.
The M&T term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by the Operating Partnership based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on the Company's total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by M&T Bank as its “prime rate” for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50%, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d)1.00%. The Operating Partnership has elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., the Operating Partnership may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings. The Company may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the M&T term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
On June 21, 2024, the M&T term loan facility commitment increased by $35 million to $135.0 million as a result of adding a new lender to the facility.

The M&T term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Company's ability to borrow under the M&T term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions. The term loan agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the M&T term loan facility to be immediately due and payable.

A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on the Company's total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50% (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate” for such day, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d)1.00%.

Preferred Stock
Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of each January, April, July, and October. The first dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock was paid on October 15, 2019. The Series A Preferred Stock does not have a stated maturity date and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Company's common stock with respect to the payment of distributions and other amounts. Except in instances relating to preservation of the Company's qualification as a REIT or pursuant to the Company’s special optional redemption right, the Series A Preferred Stock was not redeemable prior to June 18, 2024. On and after June 18, 2024, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock), the Company has a special optional redemption right that enables it to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part and within 120 days after the first date on which a change of control has occurred resulting in neither the Company nor the surviving entity having a class of common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American, or NASDAQ or the acquisition of beneficial ownership of its stock entitling a person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all our stock entitled to vote generally in election of directors. The special optional redemption price is $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, holders will have the right (unless the Company has elected to exercise its
special optional redemption right to redeem their Series A Preferred Stock) to convert some or all of such holder’s Series A Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the lesser of:
the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the change of control conversion date (unless the change of control conversion date is after a record date for a Series A Preferred Stock distribution payment and prior to the corresponding Series A Preferred Stock distribution payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid distribution will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock); and
2.97796 (i.e., the Share Cap), subject to certain adjustments;
Such conversions are subject to certain adjustments and provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration of equivalent value as described in the articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Noncontrolling Interests
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company held a 78.6% and 75.6% common interest in the Operating Partnership, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company also held a preferred interest in the Operating Partnership in the form of preferred units with a liquidation preference of $171.1 million. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership as it has the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership and the rights to absorb 78.6% of the net income of the Operating Partnership. As the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership represent units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company. As of December 31, 2024, there were 21,456,523 Common OP Units and 209,897 LTIP Units (as defined below) in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company. The Company's financial position and results of operations are the same as those of the Operating Partnership. See Note 12 for a description of LTIP Units.
Additionally, the Operating Partnership owns a majority interest in certain non-wholly-owned operating and development properties. The noncontrolling interest in investment entities was $9.2 million and $10.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which represents the minority partners' interest in certain consolidated real estate entities.
Holders of Common OP Units may not transfer their units without the Company's prior consent as general partner of the Operating Partnership. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, holders of Common OP Units may tender their units for redemption by the Operating Partnership in exchange for cash equal to the market price of shares of the Company's common stock at the time of redemption or, at the Company's option and sole discretion, for shares of common stock on aone-for-one basis. Accordingly, the Company presents Common OP Units of the Operating Partnership not held by the Company as noncontrolling interests within equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
Share Repurchase Program
On June 15, 2023, the Company adopted a $50.0 million share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase Program"). Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock from time to time in the open market, in block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other means. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specific period of time. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Company and does not have an expiration date.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company didnot repurchase any shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2024, $37.4 million remained available for repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.

- Stock-Based Compensation
The Equity Plan permits the grant of restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, LTIP units, performance units, and other equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 3,400,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2024, there were 975,518 shares available for issuance under the Equity Plan.
Restricted or Unrestricted Stock Awards
The Company issues performance-based awards in the form of restricted stock to certain employees (executive and non-executive). Employee restricted stock awards generally vest over a period oftwo years: one-third immediately on the grant date and the remaining two-thirds in equal amounts on the first two anniversaries following the grant date, subject to continued service to the Company. Executive officers’ restricted shares generally vest over a period ofthree years: two-fifths immediately on the grant date and the remaining three-fifths in equal amounts on the first three anniversaries following the grant date, subject to continued service to the Company. Non-employee director restricted stock awards may vest either immediately upon grant or over a period ofone year, subject to continued service to the Company. Unvested restricted stock awards are entitled to receive distributions from their grant date.
The fair value of the restricted stock awards was determined using the closing stock price as of the day before the grant date.
A summary of the unvested restricted shares is as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share | Number of Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share | Number of Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share | |

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, employees tendered 99,538,87,986, and 52,088 shares, respectively, to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations. As of December 31, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested shares of restricted stock was $0.5 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 11 months. The total fair value of the shares vested (calculated as the number of shares multiplied by the vesting date share price) during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was approximately $3.8 million, $3.1 million, and $2.2 million, respectively.
LTIP Unit Awards
LTIP Units are a special class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership ("LTIP Units"). Each LTIP Unit awarded will be deemed equivalent to an award ofone share of stock under the Equity Plan, reducing the availability for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis. The vesting period for LTIP Units, if any, will be determined at the time of issuance. Under the terms of the Operating Partnership's agreement of limited partnership, the Operating Partnership will revalue for tax purposes its assets upon the occurrence of certain specified events, and any increase in valuation from the time of grant until such event will be allocated first to the holders of LTIP Units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders with the capital accounts of Common OP unitholders. Subject to any agreed upon exceptions (including pursuant to the applicable LTIP Unit award agreement), once vested and having achieved parity with Common OP unitholders, LTIP Units are convertible into Common OP Units on aone-for-one basis. LTIP Unit awards granted to members of the Company's board of directors generally vest on the date of the first annual meeting of stockholders of the Company after the date of grant, subject to continued service to the Company. LTIP Unit awards granted to executives generally vest over a period ofthree years: two-fifths immediately on the grant date and the remaining three-fifths in equal amounts on the first three anniversaries following the grant date, subject to continued service to the Company. Unvested LTIP Units are entitled to receive distributions from their grant date.
The fair value of the LTIP Units was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation considering the Company's stock price as of the grant date. The Company estimates the compensation expense for the LTIP Units on a straight-line basis using a calculation that recognizes 100% of the grant date fair value over three years for employees (based on vesting schedule explained in the previous paragraph), or overone year for directors.
A summary of the unvested LTIP Unit awards is as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share | Number of Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share | Number of Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share | |

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, in connection with the vesting of LTIP Units, there were no LTIP Units tendered to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations. As of December 31, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested LTIP Units was $0.6 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 15 months. The total fair value of the LTIP Units vested (calculated as the number of shares multiplied by the vesting date share price) during the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $0.9 million. No LTIP Units vested during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Performance Unit Awards
The Company endeavors to further align the incentives of certain members of management with its long-term investors by awarding a portion of their equity compensation in the form of multi-year performance unit awards that use the level of achievement of the total shareholder return as the primary metric ("Performance Units"). The Performance Units may convert into shares of common stock at a range of 0% to 200% of the number of Performance Units granted contingent upon the participant’s continued employment and the Company’s relative total stockholder return ("TSR") at specified percentiles of the peer group. Vesting of 50% of the target award is based solely on continued employment and vesting of the remainder of the award (50%) is based on the Company’s relative TSR performance over the 3-year period following execution of each agreement. For unvested Performance Units granted in 2021 and prior, vesting of 50% of the target award is based on absolute TSR and vesting of the remainder of the award (50%) is based on relative TSR. At the end of the Performance Units’ measurement period, if the applicable criterion are met, Performance Units generally vest two-fifths on the last day of thethree-year performance period, and the remaining three-fifths in equal amounts on the first three anniversaries following the end of thethree-year performance period, subject to continued service to the Company and certain market conditions. Unvested Performance Units are entitled to accumulate distributions from their grant date, payable in cash or in additional shares of common stock upon issuance of the common stock to which those dividends relate.
The fair value of the performance units was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation considering the stock price as of the grant date. The Company estimates the compensation expense for the performance units on a straight-line basis using a calculation that recognizes 100% of the grant date fair value over five years for performance units granted prior to 2022 andsix years for performance units granted in 2022 and beyond.
A summary of the unvested Performance Unit awards is as follows:

The total fair value of the Performance Units vested (calculated as the number of shares multiplied by the vesting date share price) during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was approximately $0.3 million, $0.4 million, and $0.2 million, respectively.
- Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Inputs — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3 Inputs — unobservable inputs
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values. Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of interest rate swaps and caps. The Company measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.
Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are not measured at fair value but for which the fair value is disclosed include the Company's notes receivable and indebtedness. The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
The Company currently is a party to various legal proceedings, none of which management expects will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Management accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined by management to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, management accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.
