EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20222023 of Veris Residential, Inc. and Veris Residential, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Veris Residential, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and references to the “General Partner” mean Veris Residential, Inc., a Maryland corporation and real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. References to the “Company,” “Veris,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively the General Partner, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by the General Partner.
The Operating Partnership conducts the business of providing management, leasing, acquisition, development and tenant-related services for its General Partner. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Veris property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies, is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.
As of December 31, 2022,2023, the General Partner owned an approximate 90.791.4 percent common unit interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 9.38.6 percent common unit interest is owned by limited partners. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are (1) persons who contributed their interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units (each, a “Common Unit”) or preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership or (2) recipients of long term incentive plan units of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the General Partner’s executive compensation plans.
A Common Unit of the Operating Partnership and a share of common stock of the General Partner (the “Common Stock”) have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Company. The General Partner owns a number of common units of the Operating Partnership equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of the General Partner’s common stock. Common unitholders (other than the General Partner) have the right to redeem their Common Units, subject to certain restrictions under the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”) and agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock of the General Partner, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows: one share of the General Partner’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the General Partner’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each Common Unit. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of Common Units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock of the General Partner, cash, or any combination thereof). If the General Partner elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock of the General Partner as opposed to cash, the General Partner is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder. Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the Company or the General Partner under any circumstances. With each such redemption, the General Partner’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever the General Partner issues shares of its Common Stock other than to acquire Common Units, the General Partner must contribute any net proceeds it receives to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership must issue to the General Partner an equivalent number of Common Units. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.
The Company believes that combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
enhance investors’ understanding of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business of the Company;
eliminate duplicative disclosure and provide a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the General Partner and the Operating Partnership; and
create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between the General Partner and the Operating Partnership in the context of how they operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the General Partner. The General Partner does not have any significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its interests in the Operating Partnership, nor does the Operating

Partnership have employees of its own. The Operating Partnership, not the General Partner, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of the General Partner. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of the General Partner, including ownership interests in joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by the General Partner, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in consideration of common or preferred units in the Operating Partnership, as applicable, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities, and proceeds received from the disposition of properties and joint ventures.
Shareholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements as is the General Partner’s interest in the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements comprise the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated partnerships and development joint venture partners. The noncontrolling interests in the General Partner’s financial statements are the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership’s level and include limited partners of the Operating Partnership. The differences between shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at the General Partner and Operating Partnership levels.
To help investors better understand the key differences between the General Partner and the Operating Partnership, certain information for the General Partner and the Operating Partnership in this report has been separated, as set forth below:
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes information specific to each entity, where applicable;

STRATEGIC DIRECTIONTHE COMPANY

In 2021,During 2023, the Company announced that it intendedsubstantially completed its multi-year transformation to transform the Company into a pure-play multifamily REIT located in the Northeast.REIT. As part of this strategic initiative, the Company has sought to unlock shareholder value by simplifying its business, strengthening its balance sheet, enhancing its operational platform and aligning the Company with its corporate values and the sustainability-conscious lifestyle preferences of its residents. The Company is executing this transformation by disposing of non-strategic assets, which included its New Jersey suburban and Waterfront office portfolios and its speculative land holdings, and strategically allocating the proceeds from such dispositions into debt repayments, selective multifamily developments and acquisitions.

Portfolio Strategy

The Company seeks to own a portfolio comprised primarily of Class A multifamily properties with resort-likepremium amenities and offerings that reflect our commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ideals.sustainability. This includes facilities such as clubrooms and lounges, state-of-the-art fitness centers, dog parks and rooftop swimming pools, as well as ESG-drivensustainability-driven features like electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, bee hives, hydroponic gardens and green roofs. The Company believes that premium amenities such as the ones offered at our multifamily properties drive resident satisfaction, command higher monthly rents, and generate additional revenues through amenity fees. When coupled with our commitment to providing premium resident services, such as concierges and professionally-curated events, the Company seeks to offer a multifamily experience that will maximize resident satisfaction and optimize rental revenue.

The Company’s multifamily properties have an average age of 6seven years, typically requiring lesslower maintenance capital expenditures than a more mature portfolio. The Company believes that this factor provides it with a competitive advantage as it can retain more capital and generate a higher yield as compared tothan an older portfolio.

Operational Strategy

The Company has a fully integrated real estate platform with operational, investment, development, financial and management services provided in-house. As part of the transformation to a pure-play multifamily REIT, the Company has focused on controlling expenses with an in-depth review of asset and property management, including reassessing vendors and contracts, restructuring teams, and refining procedures and policies. The Company has made significant investments in modernizing and streamlining the platform by reducing duplicative costs between its residential and office platforms, upgrading front office technology, reducing its cyber security vulnerabilities, and enhancing financial reporting automation.

The platform is underpinned by a commitment to technological enhancement and innovations thatwhich allow the Company to improve efficiency, optimize net operating income, and augment the resident experience. The adoption of strategic technological tools, such as the MyVeris app, serve to streamline and strengthen residents’ interactions with the Properties, allowing them to pay rent, reserve amenities, RSVP to events, and manage maintenance requests at the touch of a button. The Company is also testing financial reporting and analysis tools which it believes will result in cost savings, robust and frequent financial analysis and further automation. The Company believes that this technology-focused approach optimizes net operating income byexperience, while eliminating costly manual processes that are time consuming and prone to human error. These technological enhancements combined with our experienced team have created a platform that is nimble and scalable, positioning the Company for growth.

Investment Disposition and Development Strategy

The Company mayseeks to grow its portfolio of Class A multifamily assets through a combination of acquisitions, value-add redevelopments and developments. The Company expects to generate internal growth through organic optimization of its existing portfolio by recycling capital from non-strategic asset dispositions into debt repayments, value-add redevelopments, share buybacks, new developments, and redevelopments, andacquisitions.

The Company believes it has strong relationships and networks to source off-market acquisition opportunities and may seekseeks to add value to newly acquired properties by integrating them into its ESG-sustainability and technology-focused platform. The Company has a robust and disciplined underwriting process, and experienced investments and capital markets teams. The Company has extensive experience acquiring residential and commercial assets nationally as well as in its core focus area of the Northeast, and has the capabilities to generate additional value by acquiring assets through 1031 programs, issuing OP Units, and recycling capital through dispositions of non-strategic assets. When considering acquisitions, the Company may seek opportunities that improve the geographic diversity, asset quality, and product offering of its portfolio.

The Company has demonstrated its ability to effectively and thoughtfully execute multiple non-strategic asset dispositions during challenging market conditions by selling over $1.6 billion in non-strategic assets to progress its transformation. The Company has sought to redeploy proceeds from sales into acquisitions, redevelopments, debt repayments or operations, as appropriate and where it believes it can create the most long-term value. The Company regularly monitors its assets to assess their long-term value propositions and when appropriate, may look to sell assets in its core portfolio and reinvest into other assets, if it believes that such capital recycling is warranted.

The Company believes it can further enhance shareholder value through accretive multifamily development projects at the appropriate time. The company has developed 11 of its multifamily assets, and has the expertise to manage future investments into Class A multifamily projects to generate additional long term value.

COMPETITION

We face competition from other real estate companies to acquire, disposedevelop and developmanage multifamily properties. As an owner and operator of multifamily properties, we also face competition for prospective residents from other operators whose properties may be perceived to offer a better location or better amenities or whose pricing may be perceived as a better value given the quality, location, terms and amenities that the prospective resident seeks. We also compete against condominiums and single-family homes that are for sale or rent, including those offered through online platforms. Although we often compete against large, sophisticated developers and operators for development opportunities and for prospective residents, real estate developers and operators of any size can provide effective competition for both real estate assets and potential residents.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

In the ordinary course of business, the development, maintenance and management of commercial and multifamily properties is subject to various laws, ordinances, and regulations, including those concerning entitlement, building, health and safety, site and building design, environment, zoning, sales, and similar matters which apply to or affect the real estate development industry. Multifamily properties and their owners are subject to various laws, ordinances, and regulations, including those related to real estate broker licensing and regulations relating to recreational facilities such as swimming pools, activity centers, and other common areas. As an owner and operator of multifamily properties, we also may be subject to rent or rent stabilization laws. In addition, various federal, state, and local laws subject real estate owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials that may be present.

These materials may include lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, and petroleum-based fuels. Such laws often impose liability without regard to fault or whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such materials. In connection with the ownership of real estate, we could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our real estate, whether currently owned, acquired in the future, or owned in the past. The risks related to government regulation, including health, safety and environmental matters, are described in more detail in Item 1A. Risk Factors – Operating Risks.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
Our results from operations and ability to make distributions on our equity and debt service on our indebtedness may be affected by the risk factors set forth below. All investors should consider the following risk factors before deciding to purchase securities of the Company. The Company refers to itself as “Veris,” “we” or “our” in the following risk factors.
OPERATING RISKS
Adverse economic and geopolitical conditions in general and the Northeastern office markets in particular could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and our ability to pay distributions to you.
Our business may be affected by the continuing volatility in the financial and credit markets, the general global economic conditions and other market or economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy or the real estate industry as a whole. Our business also may be adversely affected by local economic conditions, as substantially all of our revenues are derived from our properties located in New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts. Because our portfolio currently consists primarily of multifamily and office rental buildings (as compared to a more diversified real estate portfolio) located in the Northeast, if economic conditions persist or deteriorate, then our results of operations, financial condition and ability to service current debt and to pay distributions to our shareholders may be adversely affected by the following, among other potential conditions:

significant job losses in the financial and professional services industries may occur, which may decrease demand for our office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted;
our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt, reduce our
10

Table of Contents
returns from both our existing operations and our acquisition and development activities and increase our future interest expense;
reduced values of our properties may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans;
the value and liquidity of our short-term investments and cash deposits could be reduced as a result of a deterioration of the financial condition of the institutions that hold our cash deposits or the institutions or assets in which we have made short-term investments, the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments, increased volatility in market rates for such investments or other factors;
reduced liquidity in debt markets and increased credit risk premiums for certain market participants may impair our ability to access capital; and
one or more lenders under our line of credit could refuse or be unable to fund their financing commitment to us and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lenders on favorable terms, or at all.
These conditions, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions, may continue or worsen in the future.
Our performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry.operation of multifamily properties.

General: Our business and our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors depend on the ability of our properties to generate funds in excess of operating expenses (including scheduled principal payments on debt and capital expenditures). Events or conditions that are beyond our control may adversely affect our operations and the value of our multifamily properties. Such events or conditions could include:
changes in the general economic climate and conditions;
changes in local conditions, such as an oversupply of office space, a reduction in demand for office space, or reductions in office market rental rates;
an oversupply or reduced demand for multifamily apartmentsproperties caused by a decline in household formation decline inor employment, a lack of employment growth or otherwise;
decreased attractiveness of our properties to tenantscorporate restructurings and/or layoffs, and residents;industry slowdowns;
competition from other officedecreases in the demand for services or amenities, the convenience and attractiveness of the communities or neighborhoods in which our multifamily properties;rental properties are located or the quality of local schools;
development by competitors of competing multifamily communities;
the inability or unwillingness of tenantsresidents to pay rent or rent increases;
changes in the financial condition of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac which provide a major source of financing to the multifamily rental sector;
rent control or rent stabilization laws, or other housing laws and regulations that could prevent us from raising multifamily rents to offset increases in operating costs;
our inability to provide adequate maintenance;
increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes, due to inflation and other factors which may not necessarily be offset by increased rents;
changes in laws and regulations (including tax, environmental, zoning and building codes, landlord/tenant and other housing laws and regulations) and agency or court interpretations of such laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance;
changes in interest rate levels and the availability of financing;
the inability of a significant number of tenants or residents to pay rent;
our inability to rent multifamily or office rental space on favorable terms; and
civil unrest, earthquakes, pandemics, acts of terrorism and other natural disasters or acts of God that may result in uninsured losses.

Competition could limit our ability to lease multifamily properties or increase or maintain rents: Our multifamily properties compete with other multifamily property operators as well as rental housing alternatives, such as single-family homes for rent and short term furnished offerings such as those available from extended stay hotels or through online listing services. In addition, our multifamily residents and prospective residents also consider, as an alternative to renting, the purchase of a new or existing condominium or single-family home. Competitive residential housing could adversely affect our ability to lease multifamily units and to increase or maintain rental rates.

Short-term leases expose us to the effects of declining market rents: Our multifamily leases are for an average term of 13 months. Because these leases generally permit the residents to leave at the end of the lease term without penalty, our rental revenues are impacted by declines in market rents more quickly than if our leases were for longer terms.
10

Table of Contents
We may suffer adverse consequences if our revenues decline since our operating costs do not necessarily decline in proportion to our revenue: We earn a significant portion of our income from renting our multifamily properties. Our operating costs, however, do not necessarily fluctuate in relation to changes in our rental revenue. This means that our costs will not necessarily decline even if our revenues do. Our operating costs also could also increase while our revenues do not. If our operating costs increase butsignificantly to the point that they exceed our rental revenues, do not, we may be forced to borrow to cover our costs and we may incur losses. Such losses may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.
We face risks associated with the operation of our commercial office properties.
Financially distressed commercial office tenants may be unable to pay rent: If a commercial office tenant defaults, we may experience delays and incur substantial costs in enforcing our rights as landlord and protecting our investments. If a tenant files for bankruptcy, we cannot evict the tenant solely because of the bankruptcy and a potential court judgment rejecting and terminating such tenant’s lease (which would subject all future unpaid rent to a statutory cap) could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors as we may be unable to replace the defaulting tenant with a new tenant at a comparable rental rate without incurring significant expenses or a reduction in rental income.
11

Table of Contents
Renewing commercial office leases or re-letting commercial office space could be costly: If a commercial office tenant does not renew its lease upon expiration or terminates its lease early, we may not be able to re-lease the space on favorable terms or at all. If a tenant does renew its lease or we re-lease the space, the terms of the renewal or new lease, including the cost of required renovations or concessions to the tenant, may be less favorable than the current lease terms, which could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.
Adverse developments concerning someWe may not be able to dispose of remaining non-core assets within our anticipated timeframe or at favorable prices:The Company has determined to sell over time properties deemed non-core assets. While we intend to dispose of these properties opportunistically over time, there can be no assurance that these dispositions will be completed during the period of our major tenantsstrategic initiative. In addition, market conditions will impact our ability to dispose of these properties, and industry concentrationsthere can be no assurance that we will be successful in disposing of these properties for their estimated sales prices. A failure to dispose of these properties for their estimated market values as planned, or unfavorable tax consequences of the disposition of these properties could have a negative impactmaterial adverse effect on our revenueability to finance our acquisition and development plans and could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.:
We have tenants concentrated in various industries that may be experiencing adverse effects of current economic conditions. For instance, 7.09 percent of our revenue is derived from tenants inface general market and operational risks associated with the Securities, Commodity Contracts and Other Financial Servicesreal estate industry. Our business could be adversely affected if any of these industries suffered a downturn and/or these tenants or any other tenants became insolvent, declared bankruptcy or otherwise refused to pay rent in a timely manner or at all.
Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate or our insurance providers may default on their obligations to pay claims: We currently carry comprehensive insurance on all of our properties, including insurance for liability, fire and flood. We cannot guarantee that the limits of our current policies will be sufficient in the event of a catastrophe to our properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew or duplicate our current insurance coverage in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices. In addition, while our current insurance policies insure us against loss from catastrophic loss, natural disasters, terrorist acts and toxic mold, in the future, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against these types of losses, or, if offered, these types of insurance may be prohibitively expensive. If any or all of the foregoing should occur, we may not have insurance coverage against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the limits of insurance available. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property or properties, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property or properties. Nevertheless, we might remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property or properties. We cannot guarantee that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Such events could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors. If one or more of our insurance providers were to fail to pay a claim as a result of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise, the nonpayment of such claims could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if one or more of our insurance providers were to become subject to insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceedings and our insurance policies with the provider were terminated or canceled as a result of those proceedings, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to find alternative coverage in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices. In such case, we could experience a lapse in any or adequate insurance coverage with respect to one or more properties and be exposed to potential losses relating to any claims that may arise during such period of lapsed or inadequate coverage. We cannot guarantee that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future.
Illiquidity of real estate limits our ability to act quickly: Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Such illiquidity may limit our ability to react quickly in response to changes in economic and other conditions. If we want to sell an investment, we might not be able to dispose of that investment in the time period we desire, and the sales price of that investment mightmay not recoupbe recouped or may exceed the amount of our investment. The prohibition in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
11

Table of Contents
amended (the “IRS Code”), and related regulations on a real estate investment trust holding property for sale also may restrict our ability to sell property. The above limitations on our ability to sell our investments could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.
Some of our costs, such as operating and general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and real estate acquisition and construction costs, are subject to inflation: A portion of our operating expenses is sensitive to inflation. These include expenses for property-related contracted services such as janitorial and engineering services, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and insurance. Property taxes are also impacted by inflationary changes as taxes are regularly reassessed based on changes in the fair value of our properties. We also have ground lease expenses in certain of our properties. Ground lease costs are contractual, but in some cases, lease payments reset every few years based on changes of consumer price indexes.
Inflation and its related impacts, including increased prices for services and goods and higher interest rates and wages, and any policy interventions by the U.S. government, could negatively impact our resident’s ability to pay rents or our results of operations. Our multifamily leases are for an average term of 13 months, which we believe mitigates our exposure to inflation, by permitting us to set rents commensurate with inflation (subject to rent regulations to the extent they apply and assuming our current or prospective residents will accept and can pay commensurate increased rents, of which there can be no assurance). Inflation could outpace any increases in rent and adversely affect us. We may not be able to disposemitigate the effects of non-core office assets within our anticipated timeframe or at favorable prices: The Company has determined to sell over time properties at total estimated sales proceedsinflation and related impacts, and the duration and extent of up to $212 million. While we intend to disposeany prolonged periods of these properties opportunistically over time, there can be no assurance that these dispositions will be completed during the period of our strategic initiative. In addition, market conditions will impact our ability to dispose of these properties,inflation, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in disposing of these properties for their estimated sales prices. A failure to dispose of these properties for their estimated market values as planned, or unfavorable tax consequences of the disposition of these properties could have a materialany related adverse effecteffects on our ability to finance our acquisitionresults of operations and development plans andfinancial condition, are unknown at this time. Inflation may also cause increased volatility in financial markets, which could adversely affect our ability to make distributionsaccess the capital markets or paymentsimpact the cost or timing at which we are able to do so.
Additionally, inflationary pricing may have a negative effect on the real estate acquisitions and construction costs necessary to complete our investors.
New acquisitions,development and redevelopment projects, including, acquisitionsbut not limited to, costs of multifamily rental properties, may fail to perform as expectedconstruction materials, labor, and will subject us to additional new risksservices from third-party contractors and suppliers. Higher acquisition and construction costs could adversely affectimpact our net investments in real estate and expected yields on our development and redevelopment projects, which may make otherwise lucrative investment opportunities less profitable to us. Our commercial leases have fixed rent increases which may not increase in line with inflation, this causing our net operating income to decrease. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as our ability to make distributions or payments to our investorspay dividends, could be adversely affected over time.

We face risks associated with property acquisitions: We intend to and may acquire new properties, primarily in the multifamily rental sector, assuming that we are able to obtain capital on favorable terms. Such newly acquired properties may not perform as expected and may subject us to unknown liability with respect to liabilities relating to such properties for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination or
12

Table of Contents
claims by tenants, residents, vendors or other persons against the former owners of the properties. Inaccurate assumptions regarding future rental or occupancy rates could result in overly optimistic estimates of future revenues. In addition, future operating expenses or the costs necessary to bring an acquired property up to standards established for its intended market position may be underestimated. The search for and process of acquiring such properties will also require a substantial amount of management’s time and attention. As our portfolio shifts from primarily commercial office properties to increasingly more multifamily rental properties we will face additional and new risks such as:
shorter-term leases of one-year on average for multifamily rental communities, which allow residents to leave after the term of the lease without penalty;
dependency on the convenience and attractiveness of the communities or neighborhoods in which our multifamily rental properties are located and the quality of local schoolsIn addition, developers and other amenities;real estate companies may compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition, land for development and
dependency on the financial condition of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac which provide a major source of financing to the multifamily rental sector.
The above factors could prospective tenants. Such competition may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.investors by:
reducing the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us;
increasing the bargaining power of property owners;
interfering with our ability to attract and retain tenants; and
adversely affecting our ability to minimize expenses of operation.

Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:
adequate financing to complete acquisitions may not be available on favorable terms or at all as a result of the continuing volatility in the financial and credit markets;
even if we enter into an acquisition agreement for a property, we may be unable to complete that acquisition and risk the loss of certain non-refundable deposits and incurring certain other acquisition-related costs; and
any acquisition agreement will likely contain conditions to closing, including completion of due diligence investigations to our satisfaction or other conditions that are not within our control, which may not be satisfied.
Americans with Disabilities Act compliance could be costly: Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), all public accommodations and commercial facilities must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA requirements could involve removal of structural barriers from certain
12

Table of Contents
disabled persons’ entrances. Other federal, state and local laws may require modifications to or restrict further renovations of our properties with respect to such accesses.
Although we believe that our properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, noncompliance with the ADA or related laws or regulations could result in the United States government imposing fines or private litigants being awarded damages against us. Such costs may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.
Environmental problems are possible and may be costly: Various federal, state and local laws and regulations subject property owners or operators to liability for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances located on or in the property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator was responsible for or even knew of the presence of such substances. The presence of or failure to properly remediate hazardous or toxic substances (such as toxic mold, lead paint and asbestos) may adversely affect our ability to rent, sell or borrow against contaminated property and may impose liability upon us for personal injury to persons exposed to such substances. Various laws and regulations also impose liability on persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances at another location for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for such disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. Certain other environmental laws and regulations impose liability on owners or operators of property for injuries relating to the release of asbestos-containing or other materials into the air, water or otherwise into the environment. As owners and operators of property and as potential arrangers for hazardous substance disposal, we may be liable under such laws and regulations for removal or remediation costs, governmental penalties, property damage, personal injuries and related expenses. Payment of such costs and expenses could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.
OurEnvironmental, Social and Governance factors may impose additional costs and/or expose us to new risks: Certain investors, customers, regulators and other stakeholders have focused more on corporate sustainability strategies may not be effective. Our sustainability strategyresponsibility, specifically related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors.

Additionally, if we are unable to or elect not to satisfy any new regulation or criteria, or do not meet the criteria of a specific third-party provider, some investors may conclude our policies with respect to ESG are inadequate, and we may face risks associated with property acquisitions: reputational damage.

Development of real estate, including the development of multifamily rentalreal estate could be costly: As part of our operating strategy, we may acquire land for development or construct on owned land, under certain conditions. Included among the risks of the real estate development business are the following, which may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors:
financing for development projects may not be available on favorable terms;
long-term financing may not be available upon completion of construction;
failure to complete construction and lease-up on schedule or within budget may increase debt service expense and construction and other costs; and
failure to rent the development at all or at rent levels originally contemplated.

Property ownership through joint ventures could subject us to the contrary business objectives of our co-venturers: We from time to time, invest in joint ventures or partnerships in which we do not hold a controlling interest in the assets underlying the entities in which we invest, including joint ventures in which (i) we own a direct interest in an entity which controls such assets, or (ii) we own a direct interest in an entity which owns indirect interests, through one or more intermediaries, of such assets. These investments involve risks that do not exist with properties in which we own a controlling interest with respect to the
13

Table of Contents
underlying assets, including the possibility that (i)our co-venturers or partners may control the joint venture and we may not be able to prevent them from taking certain actions; (ii) we may have limited rights to terminate or liquidate our investment; (iii) the distribution preferences of our co-venturers or partners may limit operating, liquidating and disposition distributions to us; (iv) our co-venturers or partners may, at any time, become insolvent or otherwise refuse to make capital contributions when due, (ii)(v) we may be responsible to our co-venturers or partners for indemnifiable losses, (iii)(vi) we may become liable with respect to guarantees of payment or performance by the joint ventures, (iv)(vii) we may become subject to buy-sell arrangements which could cause us to sell our interests or acquire our co-venturer’s or partner’s interests in a joint venture, or (v)(viii) our co-venturers or partners may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives. Because we lack a controlling interest, our co-venturers or partners may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives. While we seek protective rights against such contrary actions, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in procuring any such protective rights, or if procured, that the rights will be sufficient to fully protect us against contrary actions. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in joint ventures or partnerships. If the objectives of our co-venturers or partners are inconsistent with ours, it may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.
We may face increased risks and costs associated with volatility in commodity and labor prices or as a result of supply chain or procurement disruptions, which may adversely affect the status of our construction projects.
projects:The price of commodities and skilled labor for our construction projects may increase unpredictably due to external factors, including, but not limited to, performance of third-party suppliers and contractors; overall market supply and demand; government regulation; international trade; and changes in general business, economic, or political conditions. As a result, the costs of raw construction materials and skilled labor required for the completion of our development and redevelopment projects may fluctuate significantly from time to time.
We rely on a number of third-party suppliers and contractors to supply raw materials and skilled labor for our construction projects. While we do not rely on any single supplier or vendor for the majority of our materials and skilled labor, we may experience difficulties obtaining necessary materials from suppliers or vendors whose supply chains might become impacted by economic or political changes, or difficulties obtaining adequate skilled labor from third-party contractors in a tightening labor market. It is uncertain whether we would be able to source the essential commodities, supplies, materials, and skilled labor timely or at all without incurring significant costs or delays, particularly during times of economic uncertainty resulting from events outside of our control, including, but not limited to, effects of COVID-19.control. We may be

forced to purchase supplies and materials in larger quantities or in advance of when we would typically purchase them. This may cause us to require use of capital sooner than anticipated. Alternatively, we may also be forced to seek new third-party suppliers or contractors, whom we have not worked with in the past, and it is uncertain whether these new suppliers will be able to adequately meet our materials or labor needs. Our dependence on unfamiliar supply chains or relatively small supply partners may adversely affect the cost and timely completion of our construction projects. In addition, we may be unable to compete with entities that may have more favorable relationships with their suppliers and contractors or greater access to the required construction materials and skilled labor.
During 2022, industry prices for certain construction materials, including steel, copper, lumber, plywood, electrical materials, and HVAC materials, experienced significant increases as a result of low inventories; surging demand fueled by the U.S. economy rebounding from the effects of COVID-19; tariffs imposed on imports of foreign steel, including on products from key competitors in the European Union (“EU”) and China; and significant changes in the U.S. steel production landscape stemming from the consolidation of certain steel-producing companies. Price surges on construction materials may result in corresponding increases in our development costs.
Short-term multifamily leases expose us to the effects of declining market rents.

Substantially all of our multifamily apartment leases are for a term of one year or less. Because these leases generally permit the residents to leave at the end of the lease term without penalty, our rental revenues are impacted by declines in market rents more quickly than if our leases were for longer terms.

Competition in the multifamily rental and residential housing markets could limit our ability to lease multifamily units or increase or maintain rents.

Our multifamily properties compete with other apartment operators as well as rental housing alternatives, such as condominiums or single-family homes for rent and short term furnished offerings such as those available from extended stay hotels or through on-line listing services. In addition, our residents and prospective residents also consider, as an alternative to renting, the purchase of a new or existing condominium or single-family home. Competitive residential housing could adversely affect our ability to lease apartment homes and to increase or maintain rental rates.
The ongoing coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread present material uncertainty and risk and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 across many countries around the globe, including the United States, has significantly slowed global economic activity and caused significant volatility in financial markets. Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved therapies and vaccines for distribution, there remain uncertainties as to the overall efficacy of the vaccines, especially as new strains of the coronavirus continue to emerge, and the level of resistance these new strains have to the existing vaccines, if any.

Certain states and cities, including all of the jurisdictions in which our properties are located, have taken and may re-institute measures to prevent or slow the spread of COVID-19, and its variants including by instituting quarantines, vaccination mandates, and testing requirements restrictions on travel, "stay-at-home" rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. While vaccine availability and uptake has increased, the longer-term macro-economic effects on global supply chains, inflation, labor shortages and wage increases continue to impact many industries.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. The COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our business in a number of ways, including:

a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or customer action;
declining household incomes and wealth or the deterioration in the financial condition or liquidity of our tenants, customers or other counterparties, which could result in their inability to pay rents or failure to meet their contractual obligations to us;
the potential negative impact on our ability to complete planned acquisitions or dispositions of assets on expected terms or timelines, or at all;
reduced demand for space at our office properties and units at our multifamily residential properties, which could have a negative impact on our prospects for leasing current or additional space and/or renewing leases with existing tenants;

difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, which could result in reduced availability and increased cost of capital necessary to fund business operations, finance our development pipeline or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis;
costs associated with construction delays and cost overruns at our development and redevelopment projects;
unanticipated costs and operating expenses associated with remote work arrangements, sanitation measures performed at each of our properties, and other measures to protect the welfare of our employees and tenants; and
the potential negative impact on the health of our employees, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, which could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during this disruption.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our business will depend on future developments, including, among others, the severity and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in curbing the spread of the virus, the nature and duration of other measures taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic impact of the pandemic and containment measures on the industries in which we and our customers operate. Moreover, with the potential for continued new strains of COVID-19 to emerge, governments and businesses may re-impose aggressive measures to help slow its spread in the future. Among other things COVID-19 and government and our responses to the virus could (1) adversely affect the ability of our suppliers and vendors to provide products and services to us; (2) make it more difficult for us to serve our tenants, including as a result of delays or suspensions in the issuance of permits or other authorizations needed to conduct our business; (3) cause labor shortages in the available labor force due to quarantine requirements thereby making it more difficult for us to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel; and (4) increase our cost of capital and adversely impact our access to capital. Due to factors beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of COVID-19, as well as third-party actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects, at this time we cannot estimate or predict with certainty the impact of COVID-19 or the measures the government and we take in response thereto on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
CAPITAL AND FINANCING RISKS
We are subject to financial and credit risks associated with general economic and market conditions.
Our business may be affected by volatility in the financial and credit markets, the general global economic conditions and other market or economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy or the real estate industry as a whole or in the Northeast where our properties are located. Our results of operations, financial condition and ability to service current debt and to pay distributions to our shareholders may be adversely affected by the following, among other potential conditions:
our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt, reduce our returns from both our existing operations and our acquisition and development activities and increase our future interest expense;
reduced values of our properties may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans;
the value and liquidity of our short-term investments and cash deposits could be reduced as a result of a deterioration of the financial condition of the institutions that hold our cash deposits or the institutions or assets in which we have made short-term investments, the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments, increased volatility in market rates for such investments or other factors;
reduced liquidity in debt markets and increased credit risk premiums for certain market participants may impair our ability to access capital; and
14

Table of Contents
one or more lenders under our line of credit could refuse or be unable to fund their financing commitment to us and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lenders on favorable terms, or at all.
Our performance is subject to risks associated with the anticipated completion of our repositioning a significant portion of the Company’s portfolio from officediversified asset classes to exclusively multifamily rental properties.
Repositioning the Company’s office portfolio may result in impairment charges or less than expected returns on office properties andcould adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors: There can be no assurance that the Company, as it seeks to repositioncomplete the repositioning of a portion of its portfolio from office to the multifamily rental sector, will be able to sell office properties and purchase multifamily rental properties at prices that in the aggregate are profitable for the Company or are efficient uses of its capital or that would not result in a reduction of the Company’s cash flow, and such transactions could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors. Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, it also may be difficult for the Company to promptly sell its office properties that are held or may be designated for sale promptly or on favorable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In addition, as the Company identifies non-core office properties that may be held for sale or that it intends to hold for a shorter period of time than previously, it may determine that the carrying value of a property is not recoverable over the anticipated holding period of the property. As a result, the Company may incur impairment charges for certain of these properties to reduce their carrying values to the estimated fair market values. Moreover, as the Company seeks to repositioncomplete the repositioning of a portion of its portfolio from office to the multifamily rental sector, the Company may be subject to a Federal income tax on gain from sales of properties due to limitations in the IRS Code and related regulations on a real estate investment trust’s ability to sell properties. The Company intends to structure its property dispositions in a tax-efficient manner and avoid the prohibition in the IRS Code against a real estate investment trust holding properties for sale. There is no guaranty, however, that such dispositions can be achieved without the imposition of federal income tax on any gain recognized.
Unfavorable changes in market and economic conditions could adversely affect multifamily rental occupancy, rental rates, operating expenses, and the overall market value of our assets, including joint ventures. Local conditions that may adversely affect conditions in multifamily residential markets include the following:
plant closings, industry slowdowns and other factors that adversely affect the local economy;
an oversupply of, or a reduced demand for, apartment units;
a decline in household formation or employment or lack of employment growth;
the inability or unwillingness of residents to pay rent increases;
rent control or rent stabilization laws, or other laws regulating housing, that could prevent us from raising rents to offset increases in operating costs; and
16

Table of Contents
economic conditions that could cause an increase in our operating expenses, such as increases in property taxes, utilities, compensation of on-site associates and routine maintenance.
Changes in applicable laws, or noncompliance with applicable laws, could adversely affect our operations or expose us to liability: We must develop, construct and operate our communities in compliance with numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, some of which may conflict with one another or be subject to limited judicial or regulatory interpretations. These laws and regulations may include zoning laws, building codes, landlord tenant laws and other laws generally applicable to business operations. Noncompliance with applicable laws could expose us to liability. Lower revenue growth or significant unanticipated expenditures may result from our need to comply with changes in (i) laws imposing remediation requirements and the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or the restrictions on discharges or other conditions, (ii) rent control or rent stabilization laws or other residential landlord/tenant laws, or (iii) other governmental rules and regulations or enforcement policies affecting the development, use and operation of our communities, including changes to building codes and fire and life-safety codes.
Failure to succeed in new markets, or with new brands and community formats, or in activities other than the development, ownership and operation of residential rental communities may have adverse consequences: We are actively engaged in development and acquisition activity in new submarkets within our core, Northeast markets where we have owned and operated our historical portfolio of office properties. Our historical experience with properties in our core, Northeast markets in developing, owning and operating properties does not ensure that we will be able to operate successfully in the new multifamily submarkets. We will be exposed to a variety of risks in the multifamily submarkets, including:
an inability to accurately evaluate local apartment market conditions;
an inability to obtain land for development or to identify appropriate acquisition opportunities;
an acquired property may fail to perform as we expected in analyzing our investment;
our estimate of the costs of repositioning or developing an acquired property may prove inaccurate; and
lack of familiarity with local governmental and permitting procedures.
Debt financing could adversely affect our economic performance.
Scheduled debt payments and refinancing could adversely affect our financial condition: We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing. These risks, including the following, may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors:
market interest rates on loans to refinance indebtedness on our properties at maturity may be significantly higher than the interest rates on that existing indebtedness;
our cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest;
payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to pay operating expenses;
we may not be able to refinance indebtedness on our properties at maturity; and
if refinanced, the terms of refinancing may not be as favorable as the original terms of the related indebtedness.
As of December 31, 2022,2023, we had total outstanding indebtedness of $1.9 billion, comprised of no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and approximately $1.9 billion of mortgages, loans payable and other obligations. We may have to refinance the principal due on our current or future indebtedness at maturity, and we may not be able to do so.
If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, events or conditions that may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors include the following:
we may need to dispose of one or more of our properties upon disadvantageous terms or adjust our capital expenditures in general or with respect to our strategy of acquiring multifamily residential properties and development opportunities in particular;
prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing could increase interest rates and, therefore, our interest expense;
we may be subject to an event of default pursuant to covenants for our indebtedness;
15

Table of Contents
if we mortgage property to secure payment of indebtedness and are unable to meet mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose upon such property or appoint a receiver to receive an assignment of our rents and leases; and
foreclosures upon mortgaged property could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds and, therefore, hinder our ability to meet the real estate investment trust distribution requirements of the IRS Code.
We are obligated to comply with financial covenants in our indebtedness that could restrict our range of operating activities: TheSome of the mortgages on our properties contain customary negative covenants, including limitations on our ability,
17

Table of Contents
without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the property, to enter into new leases outside of stipulated guidelines or to materially modify existing leases. In addition, our revolving credit facility containsand term loan facilities contain customary requirements, including restrictions and other limitations on our ability to incur debt, debt to assets ratios and interest coverage ratios. These revolving credit and term loan covenants may limit our flexibility in conducting our operations and create a risk of default on our indebtedness if we cannot continue to satisfy them. Some of our debt instruments are cross-collateralized and contain cross default provisions with other debt instruments. Due to this cross-collateralization, a failure or default with respect to certain debt instruments or properties could have an adverse impact on us or our properties that are subject to the cross-collateralization under the applicable debt instrument. Failure to comply with these covenants could cause a default under the agreements and, in certain circumstances, our lenders may be entitled to accelerate our debt obligations. Defaults under our debt agreements could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Rising interest rates may adversely affect our cash flow: As of December 31, 2022,2023, we have no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility approximately $147.0 million of our unhedged mortgage indebtedness bearing interest at variable rates and approximately $482.3$304.5 million of our hedged mortgage indebtedness bearingbears interest at variable rates. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future that bears interest at variable rates. Variable rate debt creates higher debt service requirements if market interest rates increase. Higher debt service requirements could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors and/or cause us to default under certain debt covenants.
Our degree of leverage could adversely affect our cash flow: We fund acquisition opportunities and development partially through short-term borrowings (including our revolving credit facility), as well as from proceeds from property sales and undistributed cash. We expect to refinance projects purchased with short-term debt either with long-term indebtedness or equity financing depending upon the economic conditions at the time of refinancing. The Board of Directors has a general policy of limiting the ratio of our indebtedness to total undepreciated assets (total debt as a percentage of total undepreciated assets) to 50 percent or less, although there is no limit in our organizational documents on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. However, we have entered into certain financial agreements which contain financial and operating covenants that limit our ability under certain circumstances to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness. The Board of Directors could alter or eliminate its current policy on borrowing at any time at its discretion. If this policy were changed, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors and/or could cause an increased risk of default on our obligations.
We are dependent on external sources of capital for future growth: To qualify as a real estate investment trust under the IRS Code, the General Partner must distribute to its shareholders each year at least 90 percent of its net taxable income, excluding any net capital gain. Because of this distribution requirement, it is not likely that we will be able to fund all future capital needs, including for acquisitions and developments, from income from operations. Therefore, we will have to rely on third-party sources of capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including the market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings. Moreover, additional equity offerings, including sales of the General Partner’s common stock pursuant to its $200$100 million At-The-Market equity offering commenced in December 2021,November 2023, may result in substantial dilution of our shareholders’ interests, and additional debt financing may substantially increase our leverage.
Adverse changesWe may originate mezzanine loans or make preferred equity investments in the future that may subject the Company to a greater risk of loss than traditional mortgage loans.

We may in the future originate mezzanine loans, which take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying property or subordinated loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of either the entity owning the property or a pledge of the ownership interests of the entity that owns the interest in the entity owning the property. Mezzanine loans may involve a higher degree of risk than a senior mortgage secured by real property, because the security for the loan may lose all or substantially all of its value as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender and because it is in second position and there may not be adequate equity in the property. In the event of a bankruptcy of the entity providing the pledge of its ownership interests as security, we may not have full recourse to the assets of such entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy our credit ratings could adversely affectmezzanine loan. If a borrower defaults on our business and financial condition: The credit ratings previously assignedmezzanine loan or debt senior to our senior unsecured notes by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (the “NRSROs”) were based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the NRSROs in their rating analyses of us. These ratings and similar ratings of us and any debtloan, or preferred securities we may issue are subject to ongoing evaluation by the NRSROs, and we cannot assure you that any such ratings will not be changed by the NRSROs if, in their judgment, circumstances warrant. Our credit ratings can affect the amount of capital we can access, as well as the terms of any financings we may obtain. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings, and in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, our current credit ratings are downgraded,mezzanine loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt. As a result, we would likely incurmay not recover some of or all our investment. In addition, mezzanine loans typically have higher borrowing costsloan-to-value ratios than conventional mortgage loans, resulting in less equity in the property and may encounter difficulty in obtaining additional financing.

The phase-outincreasing the risk of LIBOR and transition to SOFR as a benchmark interest rate will have uncertain and possibly adverse effects: In 2018, the Alternative Reference Rate Committee (the "AARC") recommended the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the alternative to LIBOR. SOFR is a broad measureloss of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. Due to the broad use of LIBOR as a reference rate, the impact of this transition on the interest rates charged to the Company could possibly adversely affect our financing costs, including spread pricing on our revolving credit facility and certain other floating rate debt obligations, as well as our operations and cash flows.principal.

Additionally, although SOFR is
We may in the AARC's recommended replacement rate, it is also possiblefuture make preferred equity investments in corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other entities that lendershave been formed for the purpose of directly or indirectly acquiring, developing or managing real property. Generally, we will not have the ability to control the daily operations of the entity, and we will not have the ability to select or remove a majority of the members of the board of directors, managers, general partner or partners or similar governing body of the entity or otherwise control its operations. Although we would seek to maintain sufficient influence over the entity to achieve our objectives, our partners may instead choose alternative replacement rateshave interests that may differ from LIBORours and may be in ways similara position to SOFR or in waystake actions without our consent that would result in higher interest costs for us.

Some of our costs, such as operating and general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and real estate acquisition and construction costs, are subjectfail to inflation.
A portion of our operating expenses is sensitive to inflation. These include expenses for property-related contracted services such as janitorial and engineering services, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and insurance. Property taxes are also impacted by inflationary changes as taxes are regularly reassessed based on changesinvest additional capital in the fair value ofentity when required, we may have to invest additional capital to protect our properties.

Ground lease costs are contractual, butinvestment or pay the return expected to us in some cases, lease payments reset every few years based on changes of consumer price indexes.

Additionally, inflationary pricing may have a negative effect on the real estate acquisitions and construction costs necessary to complete our development and redevelopment projects, including, but not limited to, costs of construction materials, labor, and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. Higher acquisition and construction costs could adversely impact our net investments in real estate and expected yields on our development and redevelopment projects, which may make otherwise lucrative investment opportunities less profitable to us. Our commercial leases have fixed rent increases which may not increase in line with inflation, this causing our net operating income to decrease. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as our ability to pay dividends, could be adversely affected over time.
MANAGEMENT RISKS
We may not be able to attract, integrate, manage and retain personnel to execute our business strategy, and competition for skilled personnel could increase our labor costs.
Our success depends upon our ability to attract, integrate, manage and retain personnel who possess the skills and experience necessary to execute our acquisition, development, management and leasing strategies. We compete with various other companies in attracting and retaining qualified and skilled personnel. Our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel could be impaired by a lack of qualified candidates in the available labor force, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including vaccination mandates, any diminution of our reputation, decrease in compensation levels relative to our competitors or modifications to our total compensation philosophy or competitor hiring programs. Competitive pressures may require that we enhance our pay and benefits package to compete effectively for such personnel. We may not be able to offset such added costs by increasing the rates we charge our tenants.residents. If we cannot attract, hire and retain qualified personnel, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be negatively impacted. Our future success also depends upon our ability to manage the performance of our personnel. Failure to successfully manage the performance of our personnel could affect our profitability by causing operating inefficiencies that could increase operating expenses and reduce operating income.
We are dependent on our key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
We are dependent upon key personnel for strategic business direction and real estate experience, including our chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief investments officer and general counsel. While we believe that we could find replacements for these key personnel, loss of their services could adversely affect our operations. We do not have key man life insurance for our key personnel. In addition, as the Company seeks to repositioncomplete the repositioning of a portion of its portfolio from office to the multifamily rental sector, the Company may become increasingly dependent on non-executive personnel with residential development and leasing expertise to effectively execute the Company’s long-term strategy.
The terms of the Operating Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership may limit our ability to take certain actions without the consent of some of the limited partners.

As of February 15, 2024, the General Partner owned approximately 91.4 percent of the Operating Partnership’s outstanding common partnership units. The consent of the holders of at least 85 percent of the Operating Partnership’s partnership units is required: (i) to merge (or permit the merger of) the Operating Partnership with another unrelated person, pursuant to a transaction in which the Operating Partnership is not the surviving entity; (ii) to dissolve, liquidate or wind up the Operating Partnership; or (iii) to convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the Operating Partnership’s assets.If the General Partner’s ownership interest in the Operating Partnership were to drop below 85 percent as the result of future issuances of partnership units, then the General Partner’s inability to take any of the foregoing actions without the consent of some of the limited partners could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete any of those transactions and negatively impact the Company’s business and operations.

INVESTMENT RISKS
Certain provisions of Maryland law and the General Partner’s charter and bylaws could hinder, delay or prevent changes in control.
Certain provisions of Maryland law and General Partner's charter and bylaws have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing transactions that involve an actual or threatened change in control. These provisions include the following:
Removal of Directors: Under the General Partner'sPartner’s charter, as amended, subject to the rights of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect one or more directors, a director may be removed only forfrom office at any time, with or without cause, and only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirdsa majority of allthe votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders generally in the election of directors. Neither the Maryland General Corporation Law nor the General Partner's charter define the term “cause.” As a result, removal for “cause” is subject to Maryland common law and to judicial interpretation and review in the context of the facts and circumstances of any particular situation.

Number of Directors, Board Vacancies, Terms of Office: The General Partner has, in its bylaws, elected to be subject to a certain provisionsprovision of Maryland law which vest in the Board of Directors the exclusive right to determine the number of directors anddirectors. This provision of Maryland law is applicable even if other provisions of Maryland law, the charter or the bylaws provide to the contrary. The General Partner revoked its election to be subject to a certain other provision of Maryland law which vests in the Board of Directors the exclusive right, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, to fill vacancies on the board. These provisions ofThus under the General Partner’s bylaws, as amended, and Maryland law, which are applicable even ifany vacancy on the Board of Directors for any cause other provisionsthan an increase in the number of Maryland law ordirectors may be filled by a majority of the charter or bylaws provideremaining directors except that the stockholders have right to fill any vacancy resulting from removal of a director; and any vacancy on the contrary, also provide that anyBoard of Directors created by an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the entire Board of Directors. Any director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred, rather thanserves until the next annual meeting of stockholders as would otherwise be the case, and until his or hersuch director’s successor is elected and qualifies.qualifies, and any director elected by the stockholders to fill a vacancy resulting from removal of a director serves for the balance of the term of the removed director. The General Partner has, in its corporate governance principles, adopted a mandatory retirement age of 80 years old for directors.

Stockholder Requested Special Meetings: The General Partner’s bylaws, as amended, provide that its stockholders have the right to call a special meeting only upon the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority25% of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, provided that unless requested by the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at such meeting.meeting, a special meeting need not be called to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a matter voted on at any special meeting of stockholders held during the preceding 12 months.
Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Proposals: The General Partner's bylaws require advance written notice for stockholders to nominate persons for election as directors at, or to bring other business before, any meeting of stockholders. This bylaw provision limits the ability of stockholders to make nominations of persons for election as directors or to introduce other proposals unless we are notified in a timely manner prior to the meeting.
Preferred Stock: Under the General Partner's charter, its Board of Directors has authority to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and to establish the terms, preferences and rights of any such series of preferred stock, all without approval of its stockholders. As a result, its Board of Directors may establish a series of preferred stock that could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control.
Duties of Directors with Respect to Unsolicited Takeovers: Maryland law provides protection for Maryland corporations against unsolicited takeovers by limiting, among other things, the duties of the directors in unsolicited takeover situations. The duties of directors of Maryland corporations do not require them to (a) accept, recommend or respond to any proposal by a person seeking to acquire control of the corporation, (b) authorize the corporation to redeem any rights under, or modify or render inapplicable, any stockholders rights plan, (c) make a determination under the Maryland Business Combination Act or the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, or (d) act or fail to act solely because of the effect the act or failure to act may have on an acquisition or potential acquisition of control of the corporation or the amount or type of consideration that may be offered or paid to the stockholders in an acquisition. Maryland law also contains a statutory presumption that an act of a director of a Maryland corporation satisfies the applicable standards of conduct for directors under Maryland law.
Ownership Limit: In order to preserve the General Partner's status as a real estate investment trust under the IRS Code, its charter generally prohibits any single stockholder, or any group of affiliated stockholders, from beneficially owning more than 9.8 percent of its outstanding capital stock unless its Board of Directors waives or modifies this ownership limit.
Maryland Business Combination Act: The Maryland Business Combination Act provides that unless exempted, a Maryland corporation may not engage in certain business combinations, including mergers, consolidations, share exchanges or, in
18

Table of Contents
circumstances specified in the statute, asset transfers, issuances or reclassifications of shares of stock and other specified transactions, with an “interested stockholder” or an affiliate of an interested stockholder, for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, and thereafter unless specified criteria are met. An interested stockholder is generally a person owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, 10 percent or more of the
20

Table of Contents
voting power of the outstanding stock of the Maryland corporation. The General Partner's board of directors has exempted from this statute business combinations between the Company and certain affiliated individuals and entities. However, unless its board adopts other exemptions, the provisions of the Maryland Business Combination Act will be applicable to business combinations with other persons.
Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act: Maryland law provides that holders of “control shares” of a corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” shall have no voting rights with respect to the control shares except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes eligible to cast on the matter under the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. “Control shares” means shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock previously acquired by the acquirer, would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of the voting power: one-tenth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority or a majority or more of all voting power. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
If voting rights of control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are not approved at a stockholder’s meeting, then subject to certain conditions and limitations, the issuer may redeem any or all of the control shares for fair value. If voting rights of such control shares are approved at a stockholder’s meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. In 2018, the General Partner's bylaws were amended to exempt any acquisition of the General Partner’s shares from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. If the General Partner’s bylaws are amended to repeal or limit the exemption from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, it may make it more difficult for a third party to obtain control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating a change in control.
Changes in market conditions could adversely affect the market price of the General Partner’sCompany’s common stock.
As with other publicly traded equity securities, the value of the General Partner'sCompany's common stock depends on various market conditions, which may change from time to time. The market price of the General Partner'sCompany's common stock could change in ways that may or may not be related to our business, the General Partner'sCompany's industry or our operating performance and financial condition. Among the market conditions that may affect the value of the General Partner'sCompany's common stock are the following:
the general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of the General Partner'sCompany's equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate-based companies;
our financial performance; and
general stock and bond market conditions.
The market value of the General Partner'sCompany's common stock is based primarily upon the market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings and cash dividends. Consequently, the General Partner'sCompany's common stock may trade at prices that are higher or lower than its net asset value per share of common stock.
REIT STATUS RISKS
The enactment of significant new tax legislation, generally effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, could have a material and adverse effect on us and the market price of our shares.
On December 22, 2017, Pub. L. No. 15-97 (informally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”)) was enacted into law. The Act made major changes to the Code, including a number of provisions of the Code that affect the taxation of REITs and their stockholders. The long-term effect of the significant changes made by the Act remains uncertain, and additional administrative guidance will be required in order to fully evaluate the effect of many provisions. The effect of any technical corrections with respect to the Act could have an adverse effect on us or our stockholders or holders of our debt securities.”
Consequences of the General Partner's failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust could adversely affect our financial condition.
Failure to maintain ownership limits could cause the General Partner to lose its qualification as a real estate investment trust: In order for the General Partner to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust under the IRS Code, not more than 50 percent in value of its outstanding stock may be actually and/or constructively owned by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the IRS Code to include certain entities). The General Partner has limited the ownership of its outstanding shares of common stock by any single stockholder to 9.8 percent of the outstanding shares of its common stock. Its Board of Directors could waive this restriction if it was satisfied, based upon the advice of tax counsel or
21

Table of Contents
otherwise, that such action would be in the best interests of the General Partner and its stockholders and would not affect its qualification as a real estate investment trust under the IRS Code. Common stock acquired or transferred in breach of the limitation may be redeemed by us for the lesser of the price paid and the average closing price for the 10 trading days immediately preceding redemption or sold at the direction of the General Partner. The General Partner may elect to redeem such shares of common stock for Units, which are nontransferable except in very limited circumstances. Any transfer of shares of common stock which, as a result of such transfer, causes the General Partner to be in violation of any ownership limit, will be deemed void. Although the General Partner currently intends to continue to operate in a manner which will
19

Table of Contents
enable it to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the IRS Code, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause its Board of Directors to revoke the election for the General Partner's to qualify as a real estate investment trust. Under the General Partner's organizational documents, its Board of Directors can make such revocation without the consent of its stockholders.
In addition, the consent of the holders of at least 85 percent of the Operating Partnership’s partnership units is required: (i) to merge (or permit the merger of) the Operating Partnership with another unrelated person, pursuant to a transaction in which the Operating Partnership is not the surviving entity; (ii) to dissolve, liquidate or wind up the Operating Partnership; or (iii) to convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the Operating Partnership’s assets. As of February 15, 2023, the General Partner owned approximately 90.7 percent of the Operating Partnership’s outstanding common partnership units.
Tax liabilities as a consequence of failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust: The General Partner has elected to be treated and has operated so as to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes since the General Partner's taxable year ended December 31, 1994. Although the General Partner believes it will continue to operate in such manner, it cannot guarantee that it will do so. Qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the satisfaction of various requirements (some on an annual and some on a quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex tax provisions of the IRS Code. Because few judicial or administrative interpretations of such provisions exist and qualification determinations are fact sensitive, the General Partner cannot assure you that it will qualify as a real estate investment trust for any taxable year.
If the General Partner fails to qualify as a real estate investment trust in any taxable year, it will be subject to the following:
it will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders;
it will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any alternative minimum tax, if applicable; and
unless it is entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, it will not be permitted to qualify as a real estate investment trust for the four taxable years following the year during which was disqualified.
A loss of the General Partner's status as a real estate investment trust could have an adverse effect on us. Failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust also would eliminate the requirement that the General Partner pay dividends to its stockholders. In addition, any such dividends that the General Partner does pay to its stockholders would not constitute qualified REIT dividends and would accordingly not qualify for a deduction of up to 20 percent.
Other tax liabilities: Even if the General Partner qualifies as a real estate investment trust under the IRS Code, its subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and, in some circumstances, certain other state and local taxes. From time to time changes in state and local tax laws or regulations are enacted, which may result in an increase in our tax liability. A shortfall in tax revenues for states and municipalities in which we operate may lead to an increase in the frequency and amount of such increase. These actions could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to federal, state and local income tax for income received in connection with certain non-customary services performed for tenants and/or third parties.
Risk of changes in the tax law applicable to real estate investment trusts: Since the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, we cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Any such legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify our tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect taxation of us, and/or our investors.

OTHER RISKS
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.
In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our tenants and business partners, including personally identifiable information of our tenants and employees, in our data centers and on our networks and our business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks. These attacks could include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and computer systems. Attacks can be both individual and/or highly organized attempts organized by very sophisticated hacking organizations. We employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, which include data encryption, frequent password change events, firewall detection systems, anti-virus software and frequent backups; however, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing a cyber-attack, and we consult with outside cybersecurity firms to advise on our cybersecurity measures. We also have implemented internal controls around our treasury function, including enhanced payment authorization procedures, verification requirements for new vendor setup and vendor information changes, and bolstered outgoing payment notification process and account reconciliation procedures. We have policies and procedures in place in order to identify cybersecurity incidents and elevate such incidents to senior management in order to appropriately address and remediate any cyber-attack. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions,
20

Table of Contents
and there can be no assurance that our actions, security measures, and controls designed to prevent, detect, or respond to intrusion; to limit access to data; to prevent loss, destruction, alteration, or exfiltration of business information; or to limit the negative impact from such attacks can provide absolute security against a cybersecurity incident. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, disrupt our operations, increased cybersecurity insurance premiums and damage our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.
We face possible risks associated with the physical effects of climate change.
We cannot predict with certainty whether climate change is occurring and, if so, at what rate. However, the physical effects of climate change could have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations, and business. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns or severity, our markets could experience increase in storm intensity (including floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, or snow and ice storms), rising sea-levels, and changes in precipitation, temperature, air quality, and quality and availability of water. Over time, these conditions could result in physical damage to, or declining demand for, our properties or our inability to operate the buildings efficiently or at all. Climate change may also indirectly affect our business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) property insurance on terms we find acceptable, increasing the cost of required resources, including energy, other fuel sources, water, and waste and snow removal services, and increasing the risk and severity of flood and earthquakes at our properties. Should the impact of climate change be severe or occur for lengthy periods of time, our financial condition or results of operations could be adversely impacted. In addition, compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretations of existing laws may require material expenditure by us. For example, various federal, state, and local laws and regulations have been implemented or are under consideration to mitigate the effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Among other things, "green" building codes may seek to reduce emissions through the imposition of standards for design, construction materials, water and energy usage and efficiency, and waste management. Such codes could require us to make improvements to our existing properties, increase the costs of maintaining or improving our existing properties or developing new properties, or increase taxes and fees assessed on us or our properties. Expenditures required for compliance with such codes may affect our cash flow and results of operations.
We may be subject to risks associated with the use of social media.

The use of social media could cause us to suffer brand damage or unintended information disclosure. Negative posts or communications about us or one of our properties on a social networking website could damage our reputation. Further, employees or others may disclose non-public information regarding us or our business or otherwise make negative comments regarding us on social networking or other websites, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. As social media evolves, we will be presented with new risks and challenges.
ITEM 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 1C.    CYBERSECURITY
The Company’s information technology, communication networks, system applications, accounting and financial reporting platforms and related systems, and those that are offered to residents and tenants are integral to the operation of the business. The Company utilizes these systems, among others, for financial analysis, management, and reporting, for facilitation of operations, including monitoring and optimization of various building management systems, for initiation, generation, and completion of resident leasing, for internal communications, and for various other aspects of the business.

The Company’s cybersecurity strategy is focused on detection, protection, incident response, security risk management and mitigation, and resiliency of the cybersecurity infrastructure. The Company has implemented or is in the process of continuously evaluating, testing and updating various information security processes and policies designed to identify, assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to the Company’s critical computer networks, third-party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and critical data, including confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature, as well as any personally identifiable information related to the Company’s residents’ and employees’ personal data.

The Company’s cybersecurity risk management relies on a multidisciplinary team, including its information technology and cybersecurity team, legal department, executive management, and third-party service providers to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity threats and risks. In 2023, the Company expanded its team by adding a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, responsible for managing the internal and
23
21

Table of Contents
external cybersecurity resources. The CISO has over 30 years of experience in corporate enterprise infrastructure and data security management held at a senior management level, acting in both a corporate as well as consulting role within many highly regulated industries. The CISO is responsible for having successfully developed and implemented several cyber security programs within prominent companies within the retail, financial and life science sectors.

The Company identifies and assesses risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating the cybersecurity threat environment and the Company’s risk profile. This multi-faceted approach to cybersecurity includes physical, administrative, and technical safeguards. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company began utilizing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework (CSF), to assess and report to the Company’s executive management and Board of Directors on the current maturity of operational and procedural controls for securing and safeguarding the Company’s information technology assets. The Company will continue to utilize the NIST CSF to evaluate its cybersecurity controls. In addition to the NIST CSF, the Company also completed third-party technical testing of its information technology systems architecture.

To operate its business, the Company engages certain third-party vendors to perform a variety of functions. The Company seeks to engage reliable, reputable service providers. Depending upon the nature of the services and the sensitivity of the data that a third-party service provider processes, the Company’s vendor management procedures including reviewing the cybersecurity procedures, imposing contractual requirements, and conducting periodic reassessments as needed. The Company seeks to further enhance this review to expand the scope and depth of this analysis.

As a result of these factors, the Company has adopted a strategic multi-year cybersecurity plan. This plan is not meant to be all encompassing as the cybersecurity landscape shifts and evolves, and the Company is continually assessing its risks and the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. This plan includes implementing additional and/or fortifying existing defenses and capabilities necessary to protect and preserve the integrity of the Company’s information assets and mitigate the risks to the Company’s business operations. As part of this plan, the Company requires regular cybersecurity training for all employees and periodically conducts tests to assess employee comprehension and evaluate training effectiveness.

The Company is not currently aware of any risks from cybersecurity threats nor has the Company had a previously cybersecurity incident that in either case have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.

Governance

The Company’s Audit Committee holds oversight responsibility over the cybersecurity strategy and risk management. The Audit Committee engages in regular discussions with executive management regarding the Company’s significant financial risk exposures and the measures implemented to monitor and control these risks, including those that may result from material cybersecurity threats. The Company prepares a quarterly report from the Chief Operating Officer and the CISO which includes updates on the Company’s current cybersecurity maturity, progress on the Company’s previously mentioned multi-year cybersecurity plan, strategy updates to combat changes in the threat landscape, education of employees and executive management on cybersecurity awareness, enhanced cybersecurity defenses, incident response programs and regulatory reporting obligations. The Audit Committee delivers a summary of these reports to the full Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. Furthermore, the Board of Directors receives a direct report from the CISO on no less than an annual basis with interim reports provided when appropriate or necessary.

As part of the Company’s incident response plan, a committee known as the Cyber ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) Committee has been established comprising cross-functional representation across the Company. The Cyber ERM is responsible for implementing a rapid response and incident program in the event of an identified cybersecurity threat and is responsible for reporting all incidents to the Audit Committee and Board of Directors in the case of any cybersecurity incident to enable the Audit Committee and Board of Directors to assess the materiality of any such incident and determine any Exchange Act reporting obligations of the Company in connection therewith.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. SeeOur significant accounting policies are described in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies – to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for the Company’s treatmentStatements. Certain of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”)these accounting policies require judgment and the determinationuse of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and substantially all of the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectwhen applying these policies in the reported amountspreparation of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of theour consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Rental PropertyImpairment
Rental properties are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, which revises the definition of a business and is expected to result in more transactions to be accounted for as asset acquisitions and significantly limit transactions that would be accounted for as business combinations. Where an acquisition has been determined to be an asset acquisition, acquisition-related costs are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Interest capitalized by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $12.2 million, $30.5 million and $26.4 million, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements which enhance or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.
The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants or residents, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, primarily based on a percentage of the relative commercial square footage or multifamily units of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
31

Table of Contents
Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Leasehold interestsRemaining lease term
Buildings and improvements5 to 40 years
Tenant improvementsThe shorter of the term of the related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment5 to 10 years
Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed differ from the purchase consideration of a business combination transaction.
In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing 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.
Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of 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 remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of 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.
Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and 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 values of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated holding period, and general market conditions, that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affectA property’s value is considered impaired when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management, depending on the type of property, may include reviewing properties with below market occupancy levels, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction cost overruns and/or other factors, including those that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property over its estimated holding period isare less than theits carrying value of the property.value. If there are different potential outcomes for a property, the Company will take a probability-weightedprobability weighted approach to estimating future cash flows. To the extent impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the estimated fair value of the property.
The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows and estimated Estimated fair values for each propertywhich are based on discounted cash flow models include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a number of assumptions, including but not limited to estimatedspecified holding periods, outcome probabilities, market capitalizationperiod. Capitalization rates and discount rates if applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unitutilized in these models are based upon unobservable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market value assumption is also considered based on development rights or plans for the land. These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate marketsrates. In addition, such cash flow models consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subjectdemand, competition and other factors. To the extent impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the property would be adjusted to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costsan amount to operate eachreflect the estimated fair value of the property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that

Table of Contents
may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved, and additional losses or impairments may be realized in the future.
Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of expected selling costs, of such assets. The Company generally considers assets (as identified by their disposal groups) to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, it is probable to be soldthat the disposition will occur within the following 12 months,one year and there are no significant contingencies relating to a sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of expected selling costs, of the disposal groupsWhen assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the fair value. If the fair value of the assets, less estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying value a valuation allowance (which isof the assets, an adjustment to the carrying value would be recognized and recorded as unrealized losseswithin the Unrealized gains (losses) on disposition of rental property) is established. Inproperty to reflect the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimateestimated fair value of the net sales price may be based on a number of assumptions, including but not limitedassets. The Company will continue to review the Company’s estimates of future cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights or plansproperty for the land. In addition, the Company classifies assets held for sale or sold as discontinued operations if the disposal groups represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For any disposals qualifying as discontinued operations, the assets and their results are presentedsubsequent changes in discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations – to the Financial Statements.
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company has determined that an asset previously classified as held for sale no longer meets the held for sale criteria, the asset is reclassified as held and used. An asset that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying value before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value, at the date the asset, qualified as held for sale.and may recognize an additional impairment charge, if warranted.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses. If the venture subsequently makes distributions and the Company does not have an implied or actual commitment to support the operations of the venture, the Company will not record a basis less than zero, rather such amounts will be recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.
OnIn addition, on a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including the underlying investment property operating performance and general market conditions, that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the value of the investment. The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions including but not limited to estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. These assumptions are based on management's experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures – to the Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue from leases includes fixed base rents under leases,investment over the estimated fair value of the investment. Estimated fair values which are recognizedbased on discounted cash flow models include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a straight-line basis overspecified holding period. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are based upon unobservable rates that the terms of the respective leases.Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.
The Company elected a practical expedient for its rental properties (as lessor) to avoid separating non-lease components that otherwise would needbelieves to be accounted for under the recently-adopted revenue accounting guidance (such as tenant reimbursementswithin a reasonable range of property operating expenses) from the associated lease component since (1) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease; this enables the Company to account for the combination of the lease component and non-lease components as an operating lease since the lease component is the predominant component of the combined components.
Due to the Company’s adoption of the practical expedient discussed above to not separate non-lease component revenue from the associated lease component, the Company is aggregating revenue from its lease components and non-lease components (comprised predominantly of tenant operating expense reimbursements) into the line entitled “Revenue from leases.”
Revenue from leases also includes reimbursements and recoveries from tenants received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 13: Tenant Leases – to the Financial Statements.
Real estate services revenue includes property management, development, construction and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.
Parking income is comprised of income from parking spaces leased to tenants and others.
Hotel income includes all revenue generated from hotel properties.
Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.
All bad debt expense is recorded as a reduction of the corresponding revenue account. Management performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants for collectability based on factors affecting the billings and status of individual tenants. The factors considered by management in determining which individual tenant’s revenues are affected include the age of the receivable, the tenant’s payment history, the nature of the charges, any communications regarding the charges and other related information. Management’s estimate of bad debt write-off’s requires management to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the revenue recorded.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests will be changed by periodic accretions, so that the carrying amount will equal the estimated future redemption value at the redemption date.current market rates.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
On May 6, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (“2021 Credit Agreement”) with a group of seven lenders that provides for a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2021 Credit Facility”) and a $150 million senior secured term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan”), and delivered written notice to the administrative agents to terminate the 2017 credit agreement, which termination became effective May 13, 2021.
The terms of the 2021 Credit Facility include: (1) a three-year term ending in May 2024; (2) revolving credit loans may be made to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250 million (subject to increase as discussed below), with a sublimit under the 2021 Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $50 million; and (3) a first priority lien in unencumbered properties of the Company with an appraised value greater than or equal to $800 million which must include the Company’s Harborside 2/3 and Harborside 5 properties; and (4) a facility fee payable quarterly equal to 35 basis points if usage of the 2021 Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%, and 25 basis points if usage of the 2021 Credit Facility is greater than 50%.
The terms of the 2021 Term Loan included: (1) an eighteen-month term ending in November 2022; (2) a single draw of the term loan commitments up to an aggregate principal amount of $150 million; and (3) a first priority lien in unencumbered properties of the Company with an appraised value greater than or equal to $800 million which must include the Company’s Harborside 2/3 and Harborside 5 properties.
Interest on borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility and 2021 Term Loan shall be based on applicable base rate (the “Base Rate”) plus a margin ranging from 125 basis points to 275 basis points depending on the Base Rate elected, currently 0.12%. The Base Rate shall be either (A) the highest of (i) the Wall Street Journal prime rate, (ii) the greater of the then effective (x) Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (y) Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 50 basis points, and (iii) a LIBO Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities (the “Adjusted LIBO Rate”) and calculated for a one-month interest period, plus 100 basis points (such highest amount being the “ABR Rate”), or (B) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable interest period; provided, however, that the ABR Rate shall not be less than 1% and the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall not be less than zero.
The 2021 Credit Agreement, which applies to both the 2021 Credit Facility and 2021 Term Loan, includes certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum

Table of Contents
collateral pool value ($800 million), maximum collateral pool leverage ratio (40 percent), minimum number of collateral pool properties (two), the maximum total leverage ratio (65 percent), the minimum debt service coverage ratio (1.10 times until May 6, 2022, 1.20 times from May 7, 2022 through May 6, 2023, and 1.40 times thereafter), and the minimum tangible net worth ratio (80% of tangible net worth as of December 31, 2020 plus 80% of net cash proceeds of equity issuances by the General Partner or the Operating Partnership).
The 2021 Credit Agreement contains “change of control” provisions that permit the lenders to declare a default and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility. These change of control provisions, which have been an event of default under the agreements governing the Company’s revolving credit facilities since June 2000, are triggered if, among other things, a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors (other than vacant seats) become occupied by directors who were neither nominated by the Board of Directors, nor appointed by the Board of Directors. If these change of control provisions were triggered, the Company could seek a forbearance, waiver or amendment of the change of control provisions from the lenders, however there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such forbearance, waiver or amendment on acceptable terms or at all. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the entire outstanding balance under the 2021 Credit Agreement may (or, in the case of any bankruptcy event of default, shall) become immediately due and payable, and the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.
On May 6, 2021, the Company drew the full $150 million available under the 2021 Term Loan and borrowed $145 million from the 2021 Credit Facility to retire the Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes. In June 2021, the Company paid down a total of $123 million of borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan, using sales proceeds from several of the Company’s suburban office property dispositions. On July 27, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the 2021 Term Loan of $27 million, using proceeds from the disposition of a suburban office property previously held for sale. (See Note 3: Recent Transactions – Real Estate Held for Sale/Discontinued Operations/Dispositions).
Mortgages, Loans Payable and Other Obligations
The Company has other mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Company’s rental properties. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.
Debt Strategy
The Company intends to utilize a combination of corporate and property level indebtedness. The Company will seek to refinance or retire its debt obligations at maturity with either available proceeds received from the Company’s planned non-strategic asset sales, as well as with new corporate or property level indebtedness on or before the applicable maturity dates. If it cannot raise sufficient proceeds to retire the maturing debt, the Company may draw on its revolving credit facility to retire the maturing indebtedness, which would reduce the future availability of funds under such facility. As of February 15, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $4.0 million under its revolving credit facility. The Company is continually evaluating its financing and refinancing options, including the issuance of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt or common and preferred stock, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt of the Operating Partnership, some or all of which may be completed in 2023. The Company currently anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the sale of real estate assets and joint ventures investments, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company’s capital and liquidity needs in the short term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, due to current economic conditions or otherwise, or if capital needs to fund acquisition and development opportunities in the multifamily rental sector arise, the Company’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed in “REIT Restrictions” above may be adversely affected.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt
The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally provides for recourse to the Company for customary matters such as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations. The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. As of December 31, 2022,2023, the outstanding balance of such debt totaled $188.5$17.2 million of which $22.0$1.5 million was guaranteed by the Company. In January 2024, the joint venture repaid the $17.2 million loan.
The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are further discussed in Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures to the Financial Statements.
Funds from Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”) (available to common stock and unit holders) is defined as net income (loss) before noncontrolling interests in Operating Partnership, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from depreciable rental property transactions (including both acquisitions and dispositions), and impairments related to depreciable rental property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company further believes that as FFO excludes the effect of depreciation, gains (or losses) from property transactions and impairments related to depreciable rental property (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common shareholders as an indication of the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company’s FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).
As the Company considers its primary earnings measure, net income available to common shareholders, as defined by GAAP, to be the most comparable earnings measure to FFO, the following table presents a reconciliation of net income

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk from its indebtedness primarily from loss resulting fromchanges in market interest rates. The Company monitors interest rate risk. Changes in the general levelrisk as an integral part of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Company’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors.overall risk management. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing fixed rate indebtedness or by hedging the majority of its floating rate indebtedness with interest rate swaps or caps, as appropriate.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company's indebtedness with an aggregate principal balance of $1.9 billion had an estimated aggregate fair value of $1.8 billion.
Changes in interest rates, impact the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt instruments, computed using current market yields. Approximately $1.8$1.6 billion of the Company’s long-term debt as of December 31, 20222023 bears interest at fixed rates with a weighted average coupon of 4.29% and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The effective interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt as of December 31, 2022 ranged from LIBOR/SOFR plus 141.0 basis points to LIBOR/SOFR plus 340.0 basis points. Assuming interest-rate swaps and caps are not in effect as of December 31, 2022, if market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, then the increase or decrease in interest costs on the Company’s variable rate debt would be approximately $1.5 million annually. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's indebtedness with an aggregate principal balance of $1.8 billion had an estimated aggregate fair value of $1.6 billion and ifIf market rates of interest increased or decreased by 100 basis points, the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of December 31, 20222023 would be approximately $52.6$47.9 million higher or lower, respectively.
The effective interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt, which are hedged by interest-rate caps, as of December 31, 2023 ranged from SOFR plus 141.0 basis points to SOFR plus 275.0 basis points. Assuming interest-rate caps are not in effect as of December 31, 2023, if market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Veris Residential, Inc.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The General Partner’s management, with the participation of the General Partner’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the General Partner’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the General Partner’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the General Partner’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the General Partner in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the General Partner’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the General Partner’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The General Partner’s management, with the participation of the General Partner’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has established and maintained policies and procedures designed to maintain the adequacy of the General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting, and includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the General Partner;
41

Table of Contents
(2)Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the General Partner are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the General Partner; and
(3)Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the General Partner’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
The General Partner’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of the General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20222023 based on the criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on our assessment and those criteria, the General Partner’s management has concluded that the General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.2023.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The effectiveness of the General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20222023 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the General Partner’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the General Partner’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The General Partner’s management, with the participation of the General Partner’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has established and maintained policies and procedures designed to maintain the adequacy of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting, and includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Operating Partnership;
(2)Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Operating Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the General Partner; and
(3)Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Operating Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Table of Contents
Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on our assessment and those criteria, the General Partner’s management has concluded that the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.2023.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The effectiveness of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20222023 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Veris Residential, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022,2023, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022,2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20222023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022,2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Impairment Assessment of Indicators of Impairment for Rental Property Held for Use, Net

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s net investment in rental property held for use, net was $3.6$2.9 billion as of December 31, 2022.2023. On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated holding period, and general market conditions, that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the assessment of indicators of impairment for rental property held for use, net is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in assessing whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property over its estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the property. If there are different possible scenarios for(ii) a property, the Company will take a probability weighted approach to estimating future cash flow scenarios. To the extent impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the fair value of the property. Management’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated and estimated fair values for each property are based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to estimated holding periods, outcome probabilities, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment assessment of rental property held for use is a critical audit matter are (i) the high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and subjectivity involvedeffort in performing procedures relatingand evaluating audit evidence related to management’s estimates of the aggregate future cash flows and fair value used in the impairment assessment of rental property held for use, due to the significant judgment by management when developing these estimates; (ii) the significant audit effort in evaluating the significant assumptionsindicators of impairment related to estimatedproperty operating performance, changes in anticipated holding periods, outcome probabilities,period, and general market capitalization rates and discount rates used in estimating the aggregate future cash flows and fair value used in the impairment assessment of rental property held for use ; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.conditions.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s estimates of the aggregate future cash flows and fair value used in the impairment assessment of indicators of impairment for rental propertyproperties held for use, including controls over the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used in the estimates. use.These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process by (i) evaluatingfor assessing whether there are any indicators that the appropriatenessvalue of the methods used to estimate the aggregate future cash flows and fair value;Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired; (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data provided by management;used in management’s assessment of indicators of impairment; and (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptionsmanagement’s assessment of indicators of impairment related to estimatedproperty operating performance, changes in anticipated holding periods, outcome probabilities,period, and general market capitalization rates and discount rates used in estimating the aggregate future cash flows and fair value used in the impairment assessment of rentalconditions. Evaluating property held for use. Evaluating the reasonableness of these significant assumptionsoperating performance involved considering thecurrent and past performance of the assets,properties. Evaluating the anticipated holding period involved considering management’s intent with respect to holding or disposing of the properties. Evaluating the general market data for similar investments,conditions involved considering changes in market conditions and whether this evidence was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. For a sample of rental properties, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of estimates of aggregate future cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates used in the impairment assessment of rental property held for use.

EstimatedFuture Redemption Value of Redeemable Non-controlling Interest – Valuation of the Veris Residential Trust Real Estate Portfolio

As described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s redeemable non-controlling interest balance in Veris Residential Trust (“VRT”), a consolidated subsidiary, was $475 million and the estimated future redemption value of Rockpoint’s Preferred Units was approximately $475.2 million as of December 31, 2022. Management determines the redemption value of these interests by hypothetically liquidating VRT at net asset value which represents the fair value of the VRT real estate portfolio less the principal of the debt through the applicable waterfall provisions of the investment agreement. Management estimates net asset value based on unobservable inputs after considering the assumptions that market participants would make in valuing the real estate assets of VRT which is the basis for pricing the future redemption value of the Rockpoint interests. Management estimates the net asset value of VRT by (i) applying a discount rate to the estimated future cash flows for properties under development during the period under construction and then applying a direct capitalization method to the estimated stabilized cash flows, (ii) using the direct capitalization method by applying a capitalization rate to the projected net operating income for operating properties, and

(iii) estimating per-unit market value rate assumptions for developable land holdings based on development rights or plans available for the land. Estimated future cash flows used in such analyses are based on management’s business plan for each respective property including capital expenditures, management’s views of market and economic conditions, and considers items such as current and future rental rates, occupancies and market transactions for comparable properties.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the estimated future redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interest - valuation of the VRT real estate portfolio is a critical audit matter are (i) the high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to the valuation of the VRT real estate portfolio due to the significant judgment by management when developing these estimates; (ii) the significant audit effort in evaluating the significant assumptions related to capitalization rates for operating properties and properties under development and per-unit market value rate assumptions for developable land holdings; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the estimated future redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interest - valuation of the VRT real estate portfolio, including controls over the reasonableness of the significant assumptions related to capitalization rates and per-unit market value rate assumptions. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process by (i) evaluating the appropriateness of the methods used to estimate the value of the VRT real estate portfolio; (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions related to capitalization rates for operating properties and properties under development and per-unit market value rate assumptions for developable land holdings; and (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management. For a sample of properties within the VRT real estate portfolio, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of management’s significant assumptions related to capitalization rates and per-unit market value rate assumptions. Evaluating the reasonableness of these significant assumptions related to the valuation of the VRT real estate portfolio involved considering the past performance of the properties, market data for similar investments, and whether this evidence was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (square footage, apartment unit, room, and building counts unaudited)
1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORGANIZATION
Veris Residential, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “General Partner”), is a fully-integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The General Partner controls Veris Residential, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”), as its sole general partner and owned a 90.791.4 and 91.090.7 percent common unit interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively.
The Company develops, owns and operates predominantly multifamily rental properties located primarily in the Northeast, as well as a portfolio of Class A office properties.non-strategic commercial properties and land parcels. The Company is in the process of transitioningrecently completed its transition to a pure-play multifamily REIT and is focused on conducting business in a socially, ethically, and environmentally responsible manner, while seeking to maximize value for all stakeholders. Veris Residential, Inc. was incorporated on May 24, 1994.
Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, the “Company” refers to the General Partner and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2022,2023, the Company owned or had interests in 24 multifamily rental properties as well as non-core assets comprised of fiveone office properties,property and four parking/retail properties, and two hotelsplus developable land (collectively, the "Properties"). The Properties are comprised of: (a) 2721 wholly-owned or Company-controlled properties, comprised of 17 multifamily properties and 10four non-core assets, and (b) eight properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests, including seven multifamily properties and aone non-core asset.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements includereflect all accounts of the Company, including its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and substantially all of the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEsvariable interest entities ("VIEs") in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their endeavors without additional financial support or that the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance:VIE’s economic performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses andof or the right to receive the returnsbenefits from the VIE that wouldcould potentially be significant to the VIE.
Under ASC 810, The Company continuously assesses its determination of the primary beneficiary for each entity and assesses reconsideration events that may cause a change in the original determinations. The Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entityVIE of the parent company, Veris Residential, Inc. As the Operating Partnership is already consolidated in the balance sheets of Veris Residential, Inc., this has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of Veris Residential, Inc.
As of December 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, the Company’s investments in consolidated real estate joint ventures, which are variable interest entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, other than Veris Residential Partners, L.P., formerly known as Roseland Residential, L.P. (See Note 14: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests-Rockpoint Transaction)Interests - Rockpoint Transactions, the Rockpoint interests have been fully redeemed during 2023), have total real estate assets of $468.1$449.8 million and $477.5$468.1 million, respectively, other assets of $6.0$6.7 million and $5.3$6.0 million, respectively, mortgages of $285.5$285.2 million and $285.7$285.5 million, respectively, and other liabilities of $17.3$14.7 million and $21.2$17.3 million, respectively.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAPaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain

reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation, primarily related to classification of certain properties as discontinued operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2020,2023, the Company’s managementCompany identified and recorded an out-of-period adjustment relatingadjustments related to Land and other impairments expense, which was understated for the period ended December 31, 2019. Management concluded that this error wasstock-based compensation expenses incurred in prior years. These adjustments were deemed not material to the Company’sour consolidated financial statements for any periods presented resulting in an increase of the current or prior periods. The adjustment is reflected herein as a $2.5$2.9 million increase to Land and other impairments expense$0.6 million in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020,General and Administrative and Operating Services, respectively, with a corresponding decrease in Real estate held for sale, net, in the Company’s balance sheets asincrease of December 31, 2020.Additional paid-in capital.
2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Rental Property
Rental properties are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, which revises the definition of a business and is expected to result in more transactions to be accounted for as asset acquisitions and significantly limit transactions that would be accounted for as business combinations. Where an acquisition has been determined to be an asset acquisition, acquisition-related transaction costs are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $0.7 million, $1.5 million $2.4 million and $2.0$2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 2021 and 2020,2021, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements, which enhance or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.
Included in net investment in rental property as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 is real estate and building and tenant improvements not in service; as follows (dollars in thousands):
December 31,
2022
December 31,
2021
Land held for development (including pre-development costs, if any) (a)(b)$264,934 $341,496 
Development and construction in progress, including land (c)205,173 694,768 
Total$470,107 $1,036,264 
(a)Includes predevelopment and infrastructure costs included in buildings and improvements of $97.7 million and $150.9 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
(b)Includes $73.2 million of land and $13.8 million of building and improvements classified as to assets held for sale at December 31, 2022.
(c)Includes land of $13.6 million and $68.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants or residents, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, primarily based on a percentage of the relative commercial square footage or multifamily units of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Leasehold interestsRemaining lease term
Buildings and improvements5 to 40 years
Tenant improvementsThe shorter of the term of the related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment5 to 10 years
Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below-market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed differ from the purchase consideration of a business combination transaction.
In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and uses various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing 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.
Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of 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 remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The
62

Table of Contents
capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of 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.
Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and 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 values of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated holding period, and general market conditions, that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affectA property’s value is considered impaired when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management, depending on the type of property, may include reviewing properties with below market occupancy levels, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction cost overruns and/or other factors, including those that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property over its estimated holding period isare less than theits carrying value of the property.value. If there are different potential outcomes for a property, the Company will take a probability weighted approach to estimating future cash flows. To the extent impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the estimated fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows and estimatedEstimated fair values for each propertywhich are based on discounted cash flow models include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a number of assumptions, including but not limited to estimatedspecified holding periods, outcome probabilities, market capitalizationperiod. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are based upon unobservable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates. In addition, such cash flow models consider factors such as applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights or plans for the land. These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate marketsexpected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subjectdemand, competition and other factors. To the extent impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the property would be adjusted to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, food,

beverage and lodging demands, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.
Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of expected selling costs, of such assets. The Company generally considers assets (as identified by their disposal groups) to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, it is probable to be soldthat the disposition will occur within the following 12 months,one year and there are no significant contingencies relating to a sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of expected selling costs, of the disposal groupsWhen assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the fair value. If the fair value of the assets, less estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying value a valuation allowance (which isof the assets, an adjustment to the carrying value would be recognized and recorded as unrealized losseswithin the Unrealized gains (losses) on disposition of rental property) is established. Inproperty to reflect the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimateestimated fair value of the net sales priceassets. The Company will continue to review the property for subsequent changes in the fair value, and may be based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to the Company’s estimates of future cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates,recognize an additional impairment charge, if applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights or plans for the land. In addition, thewarranted.
The Company classifies assets held for sale or sold as discontinued operations if the disposal groups represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For any disposals qualifying as discontinued operations, the assets and their results are presented in discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company has determined that an asset previously classified as held for sale, no longer meets the held for sale criteria, the asset is reclassified as held and used. An asset that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying value before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date the asset qualified as held for sale.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.
The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses. If the venture subsequently makes distributions and the Company does not have an implied or actual commitment to support the operations of the venture, the Company will not record a basis less than zero, rather such amounts will be recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including the underlying investment property operating performance and general market conditions, that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint

ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.purchased.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in deferred charges, goodwill and other assets. In all cases, amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $4.8$4.4 million, $4.6$4.8 million and $4.6 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 2021 and 2020,2021, respectively. If a financing obligation is extinguished early, any unamortized deferred financing costs are written off and included in gains (losses) from extinguishment of debt. Included in the gains(losses)losses from extinguishment of debt, net, of $(7.4)$5.6 million, $(47.1)$7.4 million and $(0.3)$47.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 2021 and 20202021 were unamortized deferred financing costs.
Deferred Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with successfully executed commercialresidential and residentialcommercial leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, as applicable. Each of the Company’s segments consists of a reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized. Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter and between annual tests, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be fully recoverable. In its impairment tests of goodwill, management first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on this assessment, management determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is not less than its carrying value, then performing the additional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized. The Company determined that its goodwill, with a balance of $2.9 million, was fully impaired at December 31, 2021 after management performed its impairment tests and recognized an impairment of $2.9 million.million in Land and other impairments, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Derivative Instruments
The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.
Revenue Recognition
The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from residential and commercial rental income and other lease income, which are accounted for under ASC 842, Leases. RevenueFor leases that include rent concessions and/or scheduled fixed and determinable rent increases, revenue from leases is reportedrecognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease for residential and commercial leases which provide for concessions and/or scheduled fixed or determinable rent increases.

lease. Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.
Revenue from leases also includes reimbursements and recoveries from tenants received fromcommercial tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 13: Tenant Leases. The Company elected a practical expedient for its rental properties (as lessor) to avoid separating non-lease components that otherwise would need to be accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses), from the associated lease component since (1) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the

The factors considered by management in determining which individual tenant’s revenues are affecteduncollectible include the age of the receivable, the tenant’s payment history, the nature of the charges, any communications regarding the charges and other related information. Management’sIf a lessee’s accounts receivable balance is considered uncollectible, the Company will write-off the uncollectible receivable balances associated with the lease and will only recognize lease income on a cash basis. The Company includes provision for doubtful accounts as a reduction of corresponding revenue account, in accordance with Topic 842.
Ground/Office Leases
The Company is the lessee under long-term office and ground leases classified as operating leases. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments under the lease. The Company makes significant assumptions and judgments when determining the discount rate for the lease to calculate the present value of the lease payments. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) that it would need to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment, over a similar lease term. The Company utilizes a market-based approach to estimate the IBR for each individual lease. The base IBR is estimated utilizing observable mortgage rates, which are then adjusted to account for considerations related to the Company’s credit rating and the lease term to select an incremental borrowing rate for each lease.

Income and Other Taxes
The General Partner has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRS Code”). As a REIT, the General Partner generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the General Partner satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (determined by excluding any net capital gains) to its shareholders. If and to the extent the General Partner retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the General Partner will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes, as applicable, on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.
The Operating Partnership is a partnership, and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective tax returns. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
As
65

Table of December 31, 2022, the estimated net basis of the rental property for federal income tax purposes was lower than the net assets as reported in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements by approximately $451.0 million. The Operating Partnership’s taxable income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was estimated to be approximately zero, $(17.7) million and $79.3 million, respectively. The differences between book income and taxable income primarily result from differences in depreciation expenses, the recording of rental income, differences in the deductibility of interest expense and certain other expenses for tax purposes, differences in revenue recognition and the rules for tax purposes of a property exchange. The deferred tax asset balance at December 31, 2022 amounted to $30.7 million which has been fully reserved through a valuation allowance.Contents
The General Partner has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). In general, a TRS of the General Partner may perform additional services for tenants of the Companyhold certain assets and generally may engage in any real estategenerate certain income that a REIT could not otherwise hold or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated).generate. A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. The General Partner has conducted business through its TRS entities for certain property management, development, construction and other related services, as well as to hold a joint venture interest in a hotel and other matters. The TRS has sold the hotel during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rate is recognized in earnings in the period of the enactment date. The Company’s deferred tax assets/(liabilities) are generally the result of temporary differences between book and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and net operating losses. The deferred tax asset balance at December 31, 2023 and 2022, amounted to $31.1 million and $30.7 million, respectively, which has been fully reserved through a valuation allowance.
If the General Partner fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes. Pursuant to the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in general and administrative expense.

In the normal course of business, the Company or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable. As of December 31, 2022,2023, the Company’s open tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the yearDecember 31, 2019 forward.
Earnings Per Share or Unit
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share or unit (“EPS or EPU”). Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS or EPU from continuing operations amount.amount, using the treasury stock method. Shares or units whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions shall be considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted EPS or EPU as follows (i) if all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period (the events have occurred), those shares or units shall be included as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the grant, if later) or (ii) if all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares or units included in diluted EPS or EPU shall be based on the number of shares or units, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period (for example, the number of shares or units that would be issuable based on current period earnings or period-end market price) and if the result would be dilutive.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issuedaccounts for noncontrolling interests in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. UnitsNoncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in those entities it consolidates. The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts of consolidated net earnings attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests that are mandatorily redeemable are classified as Mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, and are measured at the amount of cash that would be paid if settlement occurred at the balance sheet date, with any change from the prior period recognized as interest expense. The carrying amount is not reduced below the initial measurement amount. Provided redeemable noncontrolling interests are not classified as liability based on this guidance, the Company assesses whether they should be classified as mezzanine or permanent equity. The redeemable noncontrolling interests which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the unitsinterests for cash afteror other assets at a specifiedfixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests will be changed by periodic accretions, so that the carrying amount will equal the estimated future redemption value at the redemption date.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The standard Fair Value Measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). The following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and
Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determinedwill be based onupon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

2022Dispositions of Rental Properties and Developable Land
Dispositions during 2023
The Company has discontinued operations related to its former suburban New Jersey office portfolio (collectively, the “Suburban Office Portfolio”) which represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations beginning in 2019. The Company has sold all but one of those assets and expects to dispose of this final suburban office asset in the first quarter of 2023. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company identified as held for sale an office property of 0.4 million square feet, two hotels and several developable land parcels, which are located in Jersey City, Holmdel, Parsippany, Morris Township, Wall and Weehawken, New Jersey. As a result of recent sales contracts in place, the Company determined that the carrying valuedisposed of the remaining held for sale officefollowing rental property two hotels and two land parcels held for sale were not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, recognized an unrealized held for sale loss allowance of $12.5 million ($4.4 million of which is included in discontinued operations) and also recorded land and other impairments of $6.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. In February 2023 the Company completed the disposition of its hotels held for sale at December 31, 2022, for gross proceeds of $97 million and paid down the $84.0 million mortgage encumbering the property.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a contract with a non-refundable deposit to dispose of three office properties totaling approximately 1.9 million square feet for a gross sales price of $420 million. As of December 31, 2022, due to current market conditions for office sales, the Company determined that this transaction did not meet all of the criteria for classification as held for sale under ASC 360-10-45-9 and hence the assets were not reclassified as held for sale. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $84.5 million on these properties for the period ending September 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022 two land parcels that were previously identified as held for sale were reclassified as held and used, resulting in transaction-related costs of $0.1 million.

The total estimated sales proceeds of real estate held for sale, net of expected selling costs, are expected to be approximately $212.1 million.

The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 20 percent to 85 percent subject to specified priority allocations in certain of the joint ventures.

The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentations. The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. As of December 31, 2022,2023, the outstanding balance of such debt, subject to guarantees, totaled $188.5$17.2 million of which $22$1.5 million was guaranteed by the Company.

The Company determined that these unconsolidated joint ventures are no longer VIEs since these ventures have completed their development projects and are now in operation.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates $2.7$3.8 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.
As of December 31, 2022,2023, the Company had threefour interest rate caps outstanding with a notional amount of $485$304.5 million designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

11.    DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 20222023 and 2021.2022. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Cash equivalents, receivables, notes receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of December 31, 20222023 and 2021.2022.
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, consisting of revolving credit facility and mortgages, loans payable and other obligations aggregated approximately $1.8 billion and $2.4$1.8 billion as compared to the book value of approximately $1.9 billion and $2.4$1.9 billion as of December 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was valued using level 3 inputs (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative financial instruments utilize level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments valuations in their entirety are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The notes receivable by the Company are presentedItems Measured at the lower of cost basis or net amount expected to be collected in accordance with ASC 326. For its seller-financing note receivable provided to the buyers of the Metropark portfolio, the Company calculated the net present value of contractual cash flows of the total receivable. The Company accordingly recordedFair Value on a loan loss allowance charge of $26 thousand at December 31, 2022, which was deducted from the amortized cost basis of the note receivable. Such charge was recorded in Interest and other investment income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 5: Deferred charges and other assets, net.Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)
The fair value measurements used in the evaluation of the Company’s rental properties for impairment analysis are considered to be Level 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy, as there are significant unobservable assumptions. Assumptions that were utilized in the fair value calculations include, but are not limited to, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, room rental and food and beverage revenue rates, third-party broker information and information from potential buyers, as applicable.
Valuations of real estate identified as held for sale are based on estimated sale prices, net of estimated selling costs, of such property. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of unobservable assumptions, including, but not limited to, the Company’s estimates of future cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights or plans for the land.
AsThe following table presents information about assets for which we recorded an impairment charge and that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

EARNINGS PER SHARE/UNIT
Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In the calculation of basic and diluted EPS and EPU, a redemption value adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interests attributable to common shareholders or unitholders is included in the calculation to arrive at the numerator of net income (loss) available to common shareholders or unitholders.

16.    NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN SUBSIDIARIES
Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to (i) common units (“Common Units”) and LTIP units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the General Partner (“Limited Partners”), and (ii) interests in consolidated joint ventures for the portion of such ventures not owned by the Company.

Table of Contents
Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation, on the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary, changes in a parent’s ownership interest (and transactions with noncontrolling interests unitholders in the subsidiary) while the parent retains its controlling interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying value of the noncontrolling interests shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary, with the offset to equity attributable to the parent. Accordingly, as a result of equity transactions which caused changes in ownership percentages between Veris Residential, Inc. stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022,2023, the Company has increased noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and decreased additional paid-in capital in Veris Residential, Inc. stockholders’ equity by approximately $2.4 million as of December 31, 2022.$4.1 million.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP (applicable only to General Partner)
Common Units
During the year ended December 31, 2022,2023, the Company redeemed for cash 110,0849,229 common units at their fair value of $1.8 million.$142 thousand.
Certain individuals and entities own common units in the Operating Partnership. A common unit and a share of Common Stock of the General Partner have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Common unitholders have the right to redeem their common units, subject to certain restrictions. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows: one share of the General Partner’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the General Partner’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each common unit. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of common units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock, cash, or any combination thereof). If the General Partner elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock as opposed to cash, it is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder. Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the General Partner or the Operating Partnership under any circumstances. When a unitholder redeems a common unit, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reduced and Veris Residential, Inc. Stockholders’ equity is increased.
LTIP Units

From time to time, the Company has granted LTIP awards to executive officersofficers/senior management of the Company. All of the LTIP Awards granted through January 2021 arewere in the form of units in the Operating Partnership. See Note 15: Veris Residential, Inc. Stockholders’ Equity and Veris Residential, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards.
LTIP Units arePartnership, which were designed to qualify as “profits interests” in the Operating Partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a general matter, the profits interests characteristics of the LTIP Units mean that initially they will not be economically equivalent in value to a common unit. If and when events specified by applicable tax regulations occur, LTIP Units can over time increase in value up to the point where they are equivalent to common units on a one-for-one basis. After LTIP Units are fully vested, and to the extent the special tax rules applicable to profits interests have allowed them to become equivalent in value to common units, LTIP Units may be converted on a one-for-one basis into common units. Common units in turn have a one-for-one relationship in value with shares of the General Partner’s common stock, and are

redeemable on a one-for-one basis for cash or, at the election of the Company, shares of the General Partner’s common stock.
AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units)
On March 13, 2019, the Company granted 625,000 AO LTIP Units pursuant to the AO Long-Term Incentive Plan Award Agreement. See Note 15: Veris Residential, Inc. Stockholders’ Equity and Veris Residential, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units).
AO LTIP Units are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are intended to qualify as “profit interests” for federal income tax purposes and generally only allow the recipient to realize value to the extent the fair market value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the threshold level set at the time the AO LTIP Units are granted, subject to any vesting conditions applicable to the award. The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion of the AO LTIP Units into Common Units. The number of Common Units into which vested AO LTIP Units may be converted is determined based on the quotient of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date over the threshold level designated at the time the AO LTIP Unit was granted, divided by (ii) the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date. AO LTIP Units, once vested, have a finite term during which they may be converted into Common Units, not in excess of ten years from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units.

18.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
William L. Mack and David S. Mack, former directors of the General Partner and members of a group that beneficially owns more than 5% of the Company's common stock under Regulation 13D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are the executive officers, directors and stockholders of a corporation that leased 5,930 square feet at one of the Company’s office properties, which was scheduled to expire in January 2025 (the Company disposed of this property in March 2020). The Company recognized $48,000 under this lease for the year ended December 31, 2020 and had no accounts receivable from the corporation as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
In September 2020, the General Partner's Board of Directors approved a discretionary reimbursement of approximately $6.1 million in fees and expenses incurred by Bow Street LLC in connection with its proxy solicitations in 2019 and 2020 that resulted in the election of Bow Street's nominees as directors of the General Partner at the 2020 and 2021 annual meetings of stockholders of the General Partner. The Board of Directors determined that the reimbursement was appropriate in light of the benefit to the General Partner and its stockholders of the refreshment of the Board of Directors that resulted from the proxy contests. The Company reimbursed this amount to Bow Street in three substantially equal payments in November 2020, January 2021 and April 2021, which the Company has recorded the $6.1 million as general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2020. Bow Street is an affiliate of A. Akiva Katz, a director of the General Partner, who is a co-founder and managing partner of Bow Street.
