Nuveen Global Cities REIT, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Business Purpose

Nuveen Global Cities REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on May 1, 2017 as a Maryland corporation and intends to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2018. The Company’s sponsor is Nuveen, LLC (the “Sponsor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). The Company is the sole general partner of Nuveen Global Cities REIT OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Nuveen OP”). Nuveen OP has issued a limited partner interest to Nuveen Global Cities REIT LP, LLC (the “Limited Partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company was organized to invest primarily in stabilized income-oriented commercial real estate in the United States and that a substantial but lesser portion of the Company’s portfolio will include real properties located in Canada, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Substantially all of the Company’s business will be conducted through Nuveen OP. The Company and Nuveen OP are externally managed by THNuveen Real Estate Global Cities Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Sponsor.

Pursuant to a registration statementRegistration Statement on FormS-11, the Company has registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an offering of up to $5 billion in shares of common stock, consisting of up to $4 billion in shares in its primary offering and up to $1 billion in shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (the “Offering”). The registration statementRegistration Statement was declared effective on January 31, 2018. The Company is publicly selling any combination of four classes of shares of its common stock, Class D shares, Class S shares, Class T shares and Class I shares, with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount. The publicly offered share classes have different upfront selling commissions and ongoing stockholder servicing fees. The purchase price per share for each class of common stock in the Offering varies and will generally equal the Company’s prior month’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share, as calculated monthly, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, and in the opinion of management, include all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring items, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 are unaudited and include all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report pursuant to the rules of the SEC. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the related notes thereto, that are included in the Company’s SpecialAnnual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20172018 as filed with the SEC. Theyear-end balance sheet was derived from those audited financial statements.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumption that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments in Real Estate

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, the Company determines whether the acquisition of a property qualifies as a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the property acquired is not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as an asset acquisition.

Whether the acquisition of a property acquired is considered a business combination or asset acquisition, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and anynon-controlling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company expenses acquisition-related costs associated with business combinations as they are incurred. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisition.

Upon acquisition of a property, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, above-market and below-market leases, acquiredin-place leases, other identified intangible assets and

6


assumed liabilities) and allocates the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company assesses and considers fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates that it deems appropriate, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The Company also considers an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquiredin-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including but not limited to the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenants’ credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. Based on its acquisitions to date, the Company’s allocation to customer relationship intangible assets has not been material.

The Company records acquired above-market and below-market leases at their fair values (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to eachin-place lease and (2) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each correspondingin-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts forin-place lease values that are based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expectedlease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expectedlease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

The amortization of acquired below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amortization ofin-place leases is recorded as an adjustment to depreciation and amortization expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the Company’s properties and any acquisition-related costs, along with any subsequent improvements to such properties. The Company’s investments in real estate are stated at cost and are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Description

Depreciable Life

Building and building improvements

40 years

Land improvements

15 years

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

3-7 years

Lease intangibles

Over lease term

Significant improvements to properties are capitalized. When assets are sold or retired, their costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts with the resulting gains or losses reflected in net income or loss for the period.

Repairs and maintenance are expensed to operations as incurred and are included in rental property operating expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s management reviews its real estate properties for impairment each quarter or when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impaired value. If the carrying amount of the real estate investment is no longer recoverable and exceeds the fair value such investment, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value, or fair value, less cost to sell if classified as held for sale. If the Company’s strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material to the Company’s results. If the Company determines that an impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value or fair value, less cost to sell if classified as held for sale. During the periodperiods presented, no such impairment occurred.

Investments in Real Estate-Related Securities

The Company has elected to classify its investment inthe fair market value option for accounting for real estate-related securities as trading securities and carry such investments at estimatedchanges in fair value.value are recorded in the current period earnings. Dividend income is recorded when declared. The resulting dividend income and gains and losses are recorded as a component of realized and unrealized income from real estate-related securities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investment in the International Affiliated Funds

The Company reports its investment in European Cities Partnership SCSp (“ECF”) and Asia Pacific Cities Fund FCP (“APCF”), investment funds managed by an affiliate of TIAA (the “International Affiliated Funds”), under the equity method of accounting. The equity method income from the investment in International Affiliated Funds represent the Company’s allocable share of each fund’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and is reported as income (loss) from equity investment in unconsolidated international affiliated funds on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company had no investment in International Affiliated Funds as of March 31, 2018.

This includes the Company’s allocable share of the International Affiliated Fund’s income and expense, realized gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation as determined from the financial statements of ECF and APCF (which carry investments at fair value in accordance with the applicable GAAP) when received by the Company. All contributions to or distributions from the investment in the International Affiliated Fund is accrued when notice is received and recorded as a receivable from or payable to the International Affiliated Funds on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investment in Commercial Mortgage Loan at Fair Value

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. The FASB has defined fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In accordance with the adoption of the fair value option allowed under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, and at the election of the Company, any financial liabilities are reported at fair value.

A third-party independent valuation firm appointed by the Company oversees and administers the appraisal process quarterly in accordance with the Company’s valuation policy. The values are based on market factors, such as market interest rates and spreads for comparable loans, the performance of the underlying collateral, and the credit quality of the borrower.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs include certain costs to obtain the credit facility and are included in Other Assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs consist of external fees and costs incurred to obtain the Company’s credit facility. Such costs have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the credit facility and included within interest expense. Unamortized costs are charged to expenses upon early repayment or significant modification of the credit facility. Fully amortized deferred financing costs are removed from the books upon the maturity of the credit facility.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to

7


maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — 1—quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

Level 2 — 2—quoted prices are available in markets that are not active or model inputs are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.

Level 3 — 3—pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is minimal, if any, market activity for the investment.

These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management or third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities and market rates of interest of these instruments.

As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company’s $21.8$34.0 million of investments in real-estate related securities consisted of shares of common stock of publicly-traded real estate investment trustsREITs and were classified as Level 1. These investments are recorded at fair value based on the closing price of the common stock as reported by national securities exchanges.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s $45.1 million of investment in commercial mortgage loan consisted of a loan the Company originated and was classified as Level 3. The commercial mortgage loan is carried at fair value based on significant unobservable inputs.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s sources of revenue arising from leasing arrangements and the related revenue recognition policies are as follows:

Rental revenue — primarilyrevenue— consists of base rent arising from tenant operating leases at the Company’s office, industrial multifamily, and retailmultifamily properties. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, including any rent steps or abatement provisions. The Company begins to recognize revenue when a tenant takes possession of the leased space.

Tenant The Company includes its tenant reimbursement income — consists primarilyin rental revenue that

consist of amounts due from tenants for costs related to common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs includedincludes in lease agreements.

Interest income from commercial mortgage loan—consists of interest earned and recognized as operating income based upon the principal amount outstanding and the contracted interest rate. Loan origination fees, commitment fees and direct loan origination costs are offset and the net amount is deferred and amortized over the term of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. The accrual of interest income on mortgage loans is discontinued when in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due (“nonaccrual mortgage loans”), unless the loan is well-secured and is in the process of collection. Interest income on nonaccrual mortgage loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payment are received until the loans are returned to accrual status. As of March 31, 2019, the Company recognizes the reimbursement of such costs incurred as tenant reimbursement income.did not have any mortgage loans on nonaccrual status.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represents cash held in banks, cash on hand and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, the Company deposits its cash with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk.

Restricted Cash

RestrictedAs of March 31, 2019, restricted cash primarily consists of $2,466,500 of cash received for security deposits requiredsubscriptions prior to be maintainedthe date in separatewhich the subscriptions are effective, which is held in a bank accounts. The amountaccount controlled by the Company’s transfer agent but in the name of $25,712 is classified asthe Company. Other restricted cash asprimarily consists of June 30, 2018.$1,095,530 cash received in escrow related to the loan receivable acquired in March 2019.

Income Taxes

The Company intends to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2018. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company may elect to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). There were no active TRSs since May 19, 2017 (date of initial capitalization) through June 30, 2018.  In general, a TRS may perform additional services for the Company’s tenants and generally may engage in any real estate ornon-real estate-related business other than management or operation of a lodging facility or a health care facility. A domestic TRS is subject to US corporate federal income tax. The Cayman Islands TRSs are not subject to US corporate federal income tax or Cayman Islands taxes. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has three active TRSs: the Company uses two TRSs to hold its investments in the International Affiliated Funds and one TRS to hold its senior loan investment in the commercial mortgage loan. No income tax provision was included in the consolidated financial statements as there was no income tax expense.

Tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the TCJA reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. Management has evaluated the effects of TCJA and concluded that the TCJA will not materially impact its consolidated financial statements. This is due to the fact that the Company is operating in a manner which will allow it to qualify as a REIT which will result in a full valuation allowance being recorded against its deferred tax balances. The Company also estimates that the new taxes on foreign-sourced earnings are not likely to apply to its foreign investments.

8


On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJA enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Though the Company believes that the impacts of the TCJA will be immaterial to its financial results, the Company continues to analyze certain aspects of the TCJA, therefore its estimates may change as additional information becomes available. Many of the provisions of the TCJA will require guidance through the issuance of Treasury regulations in order to assess their effect. There may be a substantial delay before such regulations are promulgated, increasing the uncertainty as to the ultimate effect of the statutory amendments on the Company. It is also likely that there will be technical corrections legislation proposed with respect to the TCJA this year, the effect of which cannot be predicted and may be adverse to the Company or its stockholders.

The Company is a taxable subchapter C corporation for its initial tax year ending December 31, 2017.  The Company is indirectly wholly-owned by TIAA as of December 31, 2017 and will be included in TIAA’s consolidated U.S. corporation income tax return for its initial tax year.  In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 1B (“SAB1B”) in conjunction with ASC740, the Company has determined its income tax provision on a separate return basis. The income tax provision as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is zero.   

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding (unless their effect is anti-dilutive) for the period. There are no common share equivalents outstanding, and accordingly, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is identical for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for both basic and diluted shares.

Organization and Offering Expenses

Organization costs are expensed as incurred and recorded as a component of General and Administrative Expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and offering costs are charged to equity as such amounts are incurred.

The Advisor has agreed to advance organization and offering expenses on behalf of the Company (including legal, accounting, and other expenses attributable to the organization, but excluding upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) through the fourth full fiscal quarter after the Company’s acquisition of its first property. The Company reimburses the Advisor for all such advanced expenses ratably over a 60 month period following December 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company reimbursed the Advisor $0.2 million for costs related to the advanced expenses.

As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and offering expenses on the Company’s behalf of $4.3$4.7 million, consisting of offering costs of $3.2$3.6 million and organization costs of $1.1 million. Such costs became the Company’s liability on January 31, 2018, the date as of which the Offering was declared effective. These organization and offering costs are recorded as Due to Affiliatesaffiliates on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30,March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Foreign Currency

The financial position and results of operations of ECF is measured using the local currency (Euro) as the functional currency and are translated into U.S. dollars for purposes of recording the related activity under the equity method of accounting. Revenues and expenses have been translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investments. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in a loss of $392 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The financial position and results of operations of APCF is measured in U.S. dollars for purposes of recording the related activity under the equity method of accounting. There is no direct foreign currency exposure to the Company for its investment in APCF.

Earnings per Share

Basic net income/(loss) per share of common stock is determined by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All classes of common stock are allocated net income/(loss) at the same rate per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pending Adoption:

In May 2014,August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU2019-13”). ASU2018-13 modifies the disclosures required for fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, (“ASU2016-13”). The guidance changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. On July 25, 2018, the FASB proposed an amendment to ASU2016-13 to clarify that operating lease receivables recorded by lessors are explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU2016-13. The Company must apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements. In general, the allowance for credit losses is expected to increase when changing from an incurred loss to expected loss methodology.

Recently Adopted:

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) which supersedes Topic 840, Leases. This ASU applies to all entities that enter into leases. Lessees are required to report assets and liabilities that arise from leases. Lessor accounting has largely remained unchanged; however, certain refinements were made to conform with revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09, specifically related to the allocation and recognition of contract consideration earned from lease and non-lease revenue components. ASU 2016-02 contains certain practical expedients, which the Company has elected.

The Company has elected the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard. This practical expedient permits the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification and not to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

In addition, the Company has elected the practical expedient that allows lessors to avoid separating lease and non-lease components within a contract if certain criteria are met. The lessor’s practical expedient election is limited to circumstances in which (i) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition are the same for the non-lease component and the related lease component and (ii) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. This practical expedient allows the Company the ability to combine the lease and non-lease components if the underlying asset meets the two criteria above.

In February 2019, the FASB issued ASU2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements(“ASU 2019-01”). ASU2019-01 addresses two lessor implementation issues and clarifies an exemption for lessors and lessees from a certain interim disclosure requirement associated with adopting the new lease accounting standard. One exemption applicable to the Company would ASU2019-01 exempt the Company from having to provide certain interim disclosures in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new lease accounting standard. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early adopted ASU2019-01 and concluded that the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)(“ASU 2014-09”). Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company was required to recognize revenue to depict the

transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and has included additional disclosure requirements. The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from tenant leases at multifamily, office, retail, and industrial properties and the Company has concluded that the adoption of ASU2014-09 did not have an impact on both the rental revenue and tenant reimbursement income revenue streams. The Company has adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, and the cumulative impact did not have an impact on equity.  Accordingly, there are no differences between the amounts as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 and its Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to without the adoption of ASU 2014-09.  However, upon adoption of the new leasing standard, ASU 2014-09 may impact the presentation of certain lease and non-lease components of revenue. See below for a further description of the expected impact the new leasing standard may have on the Company.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) which will supersede Topic 840, Leases. This ASU applies to all entities that enter into a lease. Lessees will be required to report assets and liabilities that arise from leases. Lessor accounting is expected to remain unchanged except in certain circumstances. The ASU also contains certain practical expedients, which the Company plans to elect.

9


The Company is electing the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification.

In addition, the Company will elect the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components whereby both components are accounted for and recognized as lease components. Under ASC 842 as a lessor, lease components will be recognized on a straight line basis, while non-lease components will be recognized in accordance with the new revenue standard. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s tenant reimbursement revenues generated from common area and maintenance services that are provided to its tenants are considered a non-lease component that must be separated, allocated based on the transaction price allocation guidance and accounted for according to the new revenue standard.

In January 2018, the FASB issued a proposal for comment that would allow lessors to elect a similar practical expedient by class of underlying assets to not separate non-lease components from the lease component. The lessor’s practical expedient election would be limited to circumstances in which (i) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition are the same for the non-lease component and the related lease component and (ii) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. If the exposed practical expedient is issued in its existing form, the Company expects to elect the practical expedient which would allow the Company the ability to combine the lease and non-lease components if the underlying asset meets the two criteria above. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including all interim periods within those fiscal years. The proposed changes were approved by the FASB in July 2018. Management has completed its initial scoping for the adoption of the ASU 2016-02 and does not expect the adoption of such guidance to materially impact the Company.

Recently Adopted:

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 clarifies the presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary updates include additions and clarifications of the classification of cash flows related to certain debt repayment activities, contingent consideration payments related to business combinations, proceeds from insurance policies, distributions from equity method investees, and cash flows related to securitized receivables.  This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption.  The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  

In November 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” ("ASU 2016-18").  The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows.  GAAP currently does not include specific guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash.  This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption.  The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting,” which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting.  The amendments in this update will be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date.  This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

facility bear interest, at Nuveen OP’s option, at either an adjusted base rate or an adjusted 30 day LIBOR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.30% to 1.90% for borrowings at the adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case, based on the total leverage ratio of Nuveen OP’s and its subsidiaries. Loans under the credit facility will mature three years from October 24, 2018, with an option to extend twice for an additional year pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

The Company will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to any Class T share, Class S share or Class D share held in a stockholder’s account at the end of the month in which the Dealer Manager, in conjunction with the transfer agent, determines that total upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to the shares held within such account would exceed, in the aggregate, 8.75% of the sum of the gross proceeds from the sale of such shares and the aggregate gross proceeds of any shares issued under the distribution reinvestment plan with respect thereto (or, solely with respect to the Class T shares, a lower limit set forth in an agreement between the Dealer Manager and the applicable participating broker-dealer in effect on the date that such shares were sold). At the end of such month, each Class T share, Class S share and Class D share held in a

stockholder’s account will convert into a number of Class I shares (including any fractional shares) with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such share. The Company accrues the cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time each Class T, Class S and Class D share is sold during the primary offering. There is not a stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class I shares.

If not already converted into Class I shares upon a determination that total upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to such shares would exceed the applicable limit as described above, each Class T share, Class S share, Class D share and Class N share held in a stockholder’s account will automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof convert into a number of Class I shares (including any fractional shares) with an equivalent NAV as such share on the earliest of (i) a listing of Class I shares, (ii) the Company’s merger or consolidation with or into another entity or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, in each case in a transaction in which stockholders receive cash and/or listed securities or (iii) after termination of the primary portion of the offering in which such Class T shares, Class S shares and Class D shares were sold, the end of the month in which the Company, with the assistance of the dealer manager, determines that all underwriting compensation from all sources in connection with the Offering, including upfront selling commissions, the stockholder servicing fee and other underwriting compensation, is equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of the primary portion of the Offering. In addition, immediately before any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each Class T share, Class S share, Class D share and Class N shareshares will automatically convert into a number of Class I shares (including any fractional shares) with an equivalent NAV as such share.

TIAA has agreed to purchase $300 million of shares of Class N common stock as follows: (i) prior to the commencement of the Offering, an aggregate of 20,000,000 Class N common stock (including the initial capitalization of $200,000) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for a total value of $200 million; and (ii) during the period commencing January 1, 2018 and ending two years from the commencement of the Offering: (1) $50 million in shares of Class N common stock during the month following the date when the Company’s NAV (exclusive of cash and listed securities) exceeds $100 million, and (2) $50 million in shares of Class N common stock during the month following the date when the Company’s NAV (exclusive of cash and listed securities) exceeds $200 million, each at the then-current transaction price, which will generally be the prior month’s NAV per share for Class N shares. As part of TIAA’s agreement to purchase these Class N shares, the Advisor has agreed that, in the event that certain capital raising thresholds are not achieved in the Offering, the Advisor will reimburse TIAA a portion of the advisory fees and organization and offering expenses charged with respect to the Class N shares.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan whereby holders of Class T, Class S, Class D and Class I shares (other than investors in certain states or who are clients of a participating broker-dealer that does

not permit automatic enrollment in the distribution reinvestment plan) have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock unless they elect to receive their distributions in cash. Holders of Class N shares are not eligible to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan and will receive their distributions in cash. Investors who are clients of a participating broker-dealer that does not permit automatic enrollment in the distribution reinvestment plan or are residents of those states that do not allow automatic enrollment will receive their distributions in cash unless they elect to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The per share purchase price for shares purchased pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan will be equal to the transaction price at the time the distribution is payable, which will generally be equal to the Company’s prior month’s NAV per share for that share class. Stockholders do not pay upfront selling commissions or dealer manager fees when purchasing shares pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. The stockholder servicing fees with respect to shares of the Company’s Class T shares, Class S shares and Class D shares are calculated based on the NAV for those shares and may reduce the NAV or, alternatively, the distributions payable with respect to shares of each such class, including shares issued in respect of distributions on such shares under the distribution reinvestment plan.

16Distributions


The Company generally intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP, to its stockholders each year to comply with the REIT provisions of the Code. Beginning September 30, 2018, the Company established a monthly record date for a quarterly distribution to stockholders on record as of the last day of each applicable month typically payable within 25 days following quarter end. Each class of common stock receives the same gross distribution per share. The net distribution varies for each class based on the applicable advisory fee and stockholder servicing fee, which is deducted from the monthly distribution per share.

The Company’s board of directors declared distributions on all outstanding shares of common stock as of the close of business on the record dates of October 31, 2018, November 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018. These distributions were paid on January 29, 2019. The following table details these distributions:

Based on the monthly record dates established by the board of directors, the Company accrues for distribution on a monthly basis. The Company accrued $2.7 million for January, February and March 2019 in Distribution payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Share Repurchases

The Company has adopted a share repurchase plan, whereby on a monthly basis, stockholders may request that the Company repurchase all or any portion of their shares. The Company may choose to repurchase all, some or none of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased at the end of any particular month, in its discretion, subject to any limitations in the share repurchase plan. The total amount of aggregate repurchases of Class D, Class S, Class T, and Class I shares will be limited to 2% of the aggregate NAV per month and 5% of the aggregate NAV per calendar quarter. Shares would be repurchased at a price equal to the transaction price on the applicable repurchase date, subject to any early repurchase deduction. Shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year would be repurchased at 95% of the transaction price. Due to the illiquid nature of investments in real estate, the Company may not have sufficient liquid resources to fund repurchase requests and has established limitations on the amount of funds the Company may use for repurchases during any calendar month and quarter. Further, the Company’s board of directors may modify, suspend or terminate the share repurchase plan.

ItemItem 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

References herein to “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Nuveen Global Cities REIT, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q. In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those in this discussion as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) as filed on January 31, 2018.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form10-Q contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and objectives. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue” or other similar words. These statements include our plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds, and are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Assumptions relating to these statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to accurately predict and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements, and the forward-looking statements themselves, are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and our actual results, performance and achievements may be materially different from that expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-11 and amendments thereto, in our Special Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans, which we consider to be reasonable, will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q is filed with the SEC. Except as required by law, we do not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q.

Overview

Nuveen Global Cities REIT, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on May 1, 2017. We were formed to invest in properties in or around certain global cities selected for their resilience, long-term structural performance and ability to deliver an attractive and stable distribution yield. We expect that a majority of our real estate investments will be located in the United States and that a substantial but lesser portion of our portfolio will include real properties located in Canada, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. We will seek to complement our real property investments by investing a smaller portion of our portfolio in real estate-related assets. We are externally managed by our advisor, THNuveen Real Estate Global Cities Advisors, LLC (“THNuveen Real Estate Global Cities Advisors” or the “Advisor”), an investment advisory affiliate of THNuveen Real Estate. THNuveen Real Estate is the real estate investment management division of our sponsor, Nuveen, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Nuveen” or the “Sponsor”). Nuveen is the asset management arm and wholly owned subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). We intend to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Initial Public Offering

On January 31, 2018, our Registration Statement on FormS-11 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We have registered with the SEC an offering of up to $5 billion in shares of common stock (the “Offering”), consisting of up to $4 billion in shares in our primary offering and up to $1 billion in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We intend to publicly sell any combination of four classes of shares of our common stock, Class D shares, Class S shares, Class T shares and Class I shares, with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount. The publicly offered share classes have different upfront selling commissions and ongoing stockholder servicing fees. The purchase price per share for each class of common stock in the Offering will vary and will generally equal our prior month’s NAVNet Asset Value (“NAV”) per share, as calculated monthly, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

TIAA invested $200,000 through the purchase of 20,000 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share as our initial capitalization. Subsequent to our initial capitalization, TIAA has purchased $225$300 million in shares of Class N common stock (less the $200,000 initial capitalization amount). Of the $225 million, $124.2 million was purchased by TIAA through December 31, 2017 at $10.00 per share, $75.8 million was purchased on January 22, 2018 at $10.00 per share and $25 million was purchased on June 1, 2018 at $10.14 per share.  TIAA has also agreedfully funded its commitment to purchase upon$300 million of our request during the period commencing January 1, 2018 and ending two years from the commencement of the Offering: (1) $50 million in shares of Class N common stock following the date when our net asset value (“NAV”) (exclusive of cash and listed securities) exceeds $100 million, and (2) $50 million in shares of Class N common stock following the date when our NAV (exclusive of cash and listed securities) exceeds $200 million, each at the then-current transactionstock.

price, which will generally be the prior month’s NAV per share for Class N shares. Class N shares are not available for purchase in the Offering.

On May 1, 2018, members of the Company’s board of directors purchased $600,000 of common stock (59,288 Class I shares) at a purchase price of $10.12 per share.

On June 1, 2018, the Company sold $260,000 of common stock (25,641 Class D shares) at a purchase price of $10.14 per share.

Investment Objectives

Our investment objectives are to:

provide regular, stable cash distributions;

target institutional quality, stabilized commercial real estate to achieve an attractive distribution yield;

preserve and protect stockholders’ invested capital;

realize appreciation from proactive investment management and asset management; and

seek diversification by investing across leading global cities and across real estate sectors including office, industrial, multifamily and retail.

We cannot assure you that we will achieve our investment objectives.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we acquired $1.9$2.9 million and $21.8 million, respectively, of common stock of publicly-traded REITs. The fair value of our real estate-related investments was approximately $21.8$34.0 million as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

Investment in International Affiliated Funds

We report our investment in the European Cities Partnership SCSp (“ECF”) and Asia Pacific Cities Fund FCP (“APCF”), investment funds managed by an affiliate of TIAA (the “International Affiliated Funds”), under the equity method of accounting. The equity method income from the investments in the International Affiliated Funds represent our allocable share of each fund’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and is reported as income (loss) from equity investment in unconsolidated international affiliated funds on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

This includes our allocable share of the International Affiliated Funds income and expense, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation as determined from the financial statements of ECF and APCF (which carry investments at fair value in accordance with the applicable GAAP) when received by us. All contributions to or distributions from the investment in the International Affiliated Funds is accrued when notice is received and recorded as a receivable from or payable to the International Affiliated Funds on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $163,000 in income and unrealized loss based on its allocable share from ECF that is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $328,000 in losses based on its allocable share from APCF that is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investment in Commercial Mortgage Loan

We originated our first commercial mortgage loan on March 28, 2019 for an industrial property in Masbeth, NY. The initial term of the loan is 3 years with an option to extend twice for 1 year each. Based on the terms of the loan, we funded the loan on a 60% loan to cost basis amounting to $46 million. The borrower has the option to upsize the loan in two phases up to 80% loan to cost basis with a corresponding reduction in the interest rate. The borrower can request the upsize once an anchor lease for the property is signed and other requirements have been fulfilled.

Factors Impacting Our Operating Results

Our results of operations are affected by a number of factors and depend on the rental revenue we receive from the properties that we acquire, the timing of lease expirations, general market conditions, operating expenses, the competitive environment for real estate assets and dividend income from our investments in real estate-related securities.securities and the International Affiliated Funds.

Rental Revenues

We receive income primarily from rental revenue generated by the properties that we acquire. The amount of rental revenue depends upon a number of factors, including: our ability to enter into leases with increasing or market value rents for the properties that we acquire; and rent collection, which primarily relates to each future tenant'stenant’s financial condition and ability to make rent payments to us on time.

21


Competitive Environment

We face competition from a diverse mix of market participants, including but not limited to, other companies with similar business models, independent investors, hedge funds and other real estate investors. Competition from others may diminish our opportunities to acquire a desired property on favorable terms or at all. In addition, this competition may put pressure on us to reduce the rental rates below those that we expect to charge for the properties that we acquire, which would adversely affect our financial results.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses include general and administrative expenses, including legal, accounting, and other expenses related to corporate governance, public reporting and compliance with the various provisions of U.S. securities laws. As we have with the leases associated with our initial industrial properties, we generally expect to structure our industrial leases so that the tenant is responsible for taxes, maintenance, insurance, and structural repairs with respect to the premises throughout the lease term. Increases or decreases in such operating expenses will impact our overall financial performance.

Our Qualification as a REIT

We have been organized and we intend to elect, and to operate our business so as to qualify, to be taxed as a REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2018. Shares of our common stock are subject to restrictions on ownership and transfer that are intended, among other

purposes, to assist us in qualifying and maintaining our qualification as a REIT. In order for us to qualify as a REIT under the Code, we are required to, among other things, distribute as dividends at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of our income and assets. In order to satisfy a requirement that no five or fewer individuals own (or be treated as owning) more than 50% of our stock, subject to certain exceptions, no person or entity may own, or be deemed to own, by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of stock or more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding common stock.

Tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the TCJA reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. Although management is still evaluating the effects of the TCJA, we do not believe that the TCJA will materially impact our consolidated financial statements. This is due to the fact that we are operating in a manner which will (1) allow us to qualify as a REIT and (2) result in a full valuation allowance being recorded against our deferred tax balances. We also estimate that the new taxes on foreign-sourced earnings are not likely to apply to our foreign investments.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJA enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Although we believe that the impacts of the TCJA will be immaterial to our financial results, we continue to analyze certain aspects of the TCJA, therefore our estimates may change as additional information becomes available. Many of the provisions of the TCJA will require guidance through the issuance of Treasury regulations in order to assess their effect. There may be a substantial delay before such regulations are promulgated, increasing the uncertainty as to the ultimate effect of the statutory amendments on us. It is also likely that there will be technical corrections legislation proposed with respect to the TCJA this year, the effect of which cannot be predicted and may be adverse to us or our stockholders.

We are a taxable subchapter C corporation for our initial tax year ending December 31, 2017.  We are wholly-owned by TIAA as of December 31, 2017 and will be included in TIAA’s consolidated U.S. corporation income tax return for our initial tax year.  In accordance with SAB 1B in conjunction with ASC 740, we have determined our income tax provision on a separate return basis. The income tax provision as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is $0.

Results of Operations

We were formed on May 1, 2017, received our initial capitalization on May 19, 2017 and commenced active real estate operations in December 2017 in connection with the acquisitions of our initial properties.   Therefore, comparative operating results are not relevant to the discussion of operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and we expect revenues and expenses to increase as we acquire more properties over a full calendar year.  The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

Due to acquisitions of real estate and Real Estate-Related Securities we have made since we commenced principal operations in December 2017, our results of operations for the three and months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are not comparable. However, certain properties in our portfolio were owned for both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and are discussed further below.

RevenuesSame Property Results of Operations

Rental We evaluate our consolidated results of operations on a same property basis, which allows us to analyze our property operating results excluding acquisitions during the periods under comparison. Properties in our portfolio are considered same property if they were owned for the full periods presented, otherwise they are considerednon-same property. Newly acquired or recently developed properties that have not achieved stabilized occupancy are excluded from same property results and are considerednon-same property. We do not consider our real estate-related securities segment to be same property.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31,2018, our same property portfolio consisted of one multifamily and two industrial properties.

Same property operating results are measured by calculating same property net operating income (“NOI”). Same property NOI is a supplementalnon-GAAP disclosure of our operating results that we believe is meaningful as it enables management to evaluate the impact of occupancy, rents, leasing activity, and other controllable property operating results at our real estate properties. We define same property NOI as operating revenues less operating expenses, which exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense and othernon-property related

revenue and expenses items such as (a) general and administrative expenses, (b) management fee, (c) performance participation allocation, (d) interest income, and (e) income from Real Estate-Related Securities.

Our rental revenuesame property NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs and should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate in evaluating our operating performance than the current GAAP methodology used in calculating net income (loss). The following table reconciles GAAP net loss attributable to NREIT stockholders to same property NOI for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 related to rent generated from our multifamily properties, office($ in thousands):

Depreciation and amortizationDepreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 relates to property, furniture and fixtures, equipment and intangible assets in connection with our real properties.

Realized and unrealizedNet income from real estate-related securities – Income(loss)—Our net income (loss) for the three ended March 31, 2019 and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes unrealized gains of $1.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and dividend income of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, relating to the Company’s real estate-related securities.

Net income (loss) – Our net income for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2018 amounted to $0.3$1.7 million and our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 amounted to $1.2 million.$1.8 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary needs for liquidity and capital resources are to fund our investments, to make distributions to our stockholders, to repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase plan, to pay our offering and operating fees and expenses and to pay interest on any outstanding indebtedness we may incur. We will obtain the funds required to purchase investments and conduct our operations from the net proceeds of the Offering the private placement of Class N shares to TIAA and any future offerings we may conduct, from secured and unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from operations. Generally, cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions are expected to be met from operations, use of proceeds from credit facility, and cash needs for asset acquisitions are funded by the private placement of Class N shares to TIAA, publicOffering and future offerings of our Class T, Class S, Class D and Class I shareswe may conduct and debt financings. However, there may be a delay between the sale of our shares and our purchase of assets, which could result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders, if any, of returns generated from our investment operations. Once we have raised substantial proceeds in the Offering and acquired a broad portfolio of real estate investments, our target leverage ratio will be approximately 30% to 50% of our gross real estate assets (measured using the fair market value of gross real estate assets, including equity in our securities portfolio), including property and entity-level debt, but excluding debt on the securities portfolio, although it may exceed this level during theour offering stage. Our leverage ratio calculation will also factor in the leverage ratios of other vehicles and funds established by THNuveen Real Estate in which we may invest, including the European Cities Fund and the Asia-Pacific Cities Fund.International Affiliated Funds. Our charter restricts the amount of indebtedness we may incur to 300% of our net assets, which approximates 75% of the aggregate cost of our investments, but does not restrict the amount of indebtedness we may incur with respect to any single investment. However, we may borrow in excess of this amount if such excess is approved by a majority of our independent directors, and disclosed to stockholders in the next quarterly report, along with justification for such excess.

If we are unable to raise substantial funds in our Offering, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.

Our operating fees and expenses include, among other things, the advisory fee we pay to the Advisor, legal, audit and valuation expenses, federal and state filing fees, printing expenses, administrative fees, transfer agent fees, marketing and distribution expenses and fees related to acquiring, financing, appraising and managing our

properties. The stockholder servicing fees we pay to the Dealer Manager are accrued up to a maximum amount of 8.75% of the sum of the gross proceeds at the time of the sale of common shares. We do not have any office or personnel expenses as we do not have any employees. We reimburse the Advisor for certainout-of-pocket expenses in connection with our operations. The Advisor has agreed to advance all of our organization and offering expenses on our behalf (other than upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) through the first anniversary of our first acquisition. These expenses include legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees and expenses, due diligence expenses of participating broker-dealers supported by detailed and itemized invoices, costs in connection with preparing sales materials, design and website expenses, fees and expenses of our transfer agent, fees to attend retail seminars sponsored by participating broker-dealers and reimbursements for customary travel, lodging, and meals, but exclude selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees. We will reimburse the Advisor for such advanced expenses ratably over the 60 months following the first anniversary of our first investment acquisition. For purposes of calculating our NAV, the organization and offering

24


expenses paid by the Advisor through the first anniversary of our first investment acquisition are not recognized as expenses or as a component of equity and reflected in our NAV until we reimburse the Advisor for these costs.

As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and offering expenses on our behalf of $4.3$4.7 million, consisting of offering costs of $3.2$3.6 million and organization costs of $1.1 million. Such costs became our liability on January 31, 2018, the date as of which the Offering was declared effective. After the first anniversary of the commencement of the Offering,first acquisition, we will reimburse the Advisor for any organization and offering expenses that it incurs on our behalf as and when incurred. After the termination of each three-year public offering, the Advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that the organization and offering expenses that we incur with respect to that offering exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the Offering.

Although we have not received any commitments from lenders to fund a line of credit to date, we may decide to obtain a line of credit to fund acquisitions, to repurchase shares pursuant to our share repurchase plan and for any other corporate purpose. If we decide to obtain a line of credit, we would expect that it would afford us borrowing availability to fund repurchases. As our assets increase, however, it may not be commercially feasible or we may not be able to secure an adequate line of credit to fund share repurchases. Moreover, actual availability may be reduced at any given time if we use borrowings under the line of credit to fund share repurchases or for other corporate purposes.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresMetrics

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

We believe funds from operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”)is a meaningful supplementalnon-GAAP operating metric. Our consolidated financial statements are non-GAAP financial measures used by many investors and analysts in thepresented under historical cost accounting which, among other things, requires depreciation of real estate industry.investments to be calculated on a straight line basis. As a result, our operating results imply that the value of our real estate investments will decrease evenly over a set time period. However, we believe that the value of real estate investments will fluctuate over time based on market conditions and as such, depreciation under historical cost accounting may be less informative. FFO is a standard REIT industry metric defined by the National AssociationAssociational of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).

FFO, representsas defined by NAREIT and presented below, is calculated as net income (loss) (calculatedor loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses)or losses from sales of depreciable real property and impairment write-downs on sales and/or impairment ofdepreciable real estate assets,property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Thisamortization.

We also believe that Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) is a common meaningful supplementalnon-GAAP financial measure as accounting for real estate assets on an historical cost basis may not correlate with the value disclosure of real estate as determined by market conditions.our operating results. AFFO further adjusts FFO in order for otherour operating results to reflect the specific characteristics of our business by adjusting for items we believe are not related to our core operations, such as foroperations. Our adjustments to FFO to arrive to AFFO include straight-line rental income.income, amortization ofabove-and below-market lease intangibles, organization costs, unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value of real estate-related securities and amortization of restricted stock award, and unamortized origination fee related to the commercial mortgage loan.

FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, management believes or in evaluating our operating performance. In addition, FFO and AFFO to be supplemental measures of a REIT’s performance because they provide an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to certain significant non-cash items, primarily depreciation expense. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. We believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, FFO and AFFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. We report FFO and AFFO because these measures are observed by management to also be the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs and because FFO and AFFO are consistently reported, discussed, and compared by research analysts in their notes and publications about REITs. For these reasons, management has deemed it appropriate to disclose and discuss FFO and AFFO.

Our calculations of FFO and AFFO and related methodology may differ from those used by other REITs, and accordingly, may not be comparable to other REITs. Further, FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flow available for management's discretionary use. FFO

Net Asset Value

Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation guidelines that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our net asset value (“NAV”). The overarching principle of these guidelines is to produce a valuation that represents a fair and accurate estimate of the value of our investments or the price that would be received for our investments in an arm’s-length transaction between market participants, less our liabilities. These valuation guidelines are largely based upon standard industry practices used by private, open-end real estate funds and are administered by the Advisor and its affiliates.

Our board of directors monitors compliance with our valuation guidelines on an ongoing basis. The calculation of our NAV is intended to be a calculation of fair value of our assets less our outstanding liabilities and may differ from our financial statements. As a public company, we are required to issue financial statements based on historical cost in accordance with GAAP. To calculate our NAV for the purpose of establishing a purchase and repurchase price for our shares, we have adopted a model, as explained below, that adjusts the value of our assets from historical cost to fair value in accordance with GAAP.  Because these fair value calculations involve significant professional judgment in the application of both observable and unobservable attributes, the calculated fair value of our assets may differ from their actual realizable value or future fair value. Furthermore, no rule or regulation requires that we calculate NAV in a certain way. While we believe our NAV calculation methodologies are consistent with standard industry principles, there is no established practice among public REITs, whether listed or not, for calculating NAV in order to establish a purchase and repurchase price. As a result, other public REITs may use different methodologies or assumptions to determine NAV.

The valuation of our real properties is managed by our independent valuation advisor, RERC, LLC, a valuation firm selected by the Advisor andbeen approved by our board of directors. The AdvisorWe believe our Net Asset Value (“NAV”) is ultimately responsible for the determination of our NAV.

The purchase price per share in our Offering for each class of our common stock will generally equal our prior month’s NAV per share, as determined monthly, plus applicable selling commissions and dealer manager fees. Our NAV for each class of shares is based on the net asset values of our investments (including real estate-related assets), the addition of any other assets (such as cash on hand) and the deduction of any liabilities, including any stockholder servicing fees applicable to such class of shares.

Our investments in real estate are recorded at fair value when determining NAV, as compared to historical cost for purposes of GAAP.  Accordingly, the related depreciation and amortization is not recorded when determining NAV.  NAV also excludes any effects for straight-line rental income.  The Company reimburses the Advisor for all organization and offering costs ratably over a 60 month period following December 31, 2018.

Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class S, Class T and Class D shares. For purposes of NAV we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis as such fee is paid. Under GAAP, we accrue the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time we sell Class S, Class T and Class D shares. As of March 31, 2019, we have accrued under GAAP approximately $74,000 of stockholder servicing fees payable to the Dealer Manager related to the Class D and Class T shares sold, respectively.

The Advisor and its affiliates agreed to advance organization and offering costs on our behalf through December 31, 2018 and had incurred organization and offering expenses of $4.6 million. Organization costs of $1.1 million are expensed and Offering costs of $3.5 million is a component of equity in the form of additional paid in capital. For NAV, such costs will be recognized as a reduction to NAV as they are reimbursed over 60 months. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized a reduction to its NAV by $0.2 million for costs related to the reimbursement.

(2)

Accrued stockholder servicing fee represents the accrual for the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee for Class D and Class T shares. Under GAAP, we accrued the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee payable over the life of each share (assuming such share remains outstanding the length of time required to pay the maximum stockholder servicing fee) as an offering cost at the time we sold Class D and Class T shares. For purposes of NAV we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis as such fee is paid.

(3)

Our investments in real estate are presented under historical cost in our GAAP consolidated financial statements. As such, any increases in the fair market value of our investments in real estate are not included in our GAAP results. For purposes of determining our NAV, our investments in real estate are recorded at fair value.

(4)

We depreciate our investments in real estate and amortize certain other assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. Such depreciation and amortization is not recorded for purposes of determining our NAV.

(5)

In addition, we received origination fee income from the origination of our commercial mortgage loan. For purposes of NAV we recognize the origination fee as income upfront whereas for GAAP, the income is amortized as income over the life of the commercial mortgage loan originated.

Limitations and Risks

As with any valuation methodology, our methodology is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a different NAV per share. Accordingly, with respect to our NAV per share, we can provide no assurance that:

(1)

a stockholder would be able to realize this NAV per share upon attempting to resell his or her shares;

(2)

we would be able to achieve, for our stockholders, the NAV per share, upon a listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, selling our real estate portfolio, or merging withan-other company; or

(3)

the NAV per share, or the methodologies relied upon to estimate the NAV per share, will be found by any regulatory authority to comply with any regulatory requirements.

Furthermore, the NAV per share was calculated as of a particular point in time. The NAV per share will fluctuate over time in response to, among other things, changes in real estate market fundamentals, capital markets activities, and attributes specific to the properties and assets within our portfolio.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP involves significant judgements and assumptions and require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We consider our accounting policies over investments in real estate and revenue recognition to be our critical accounting policies. See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Qfor further descriptions of such critical accounting policies along with other significant accounting policy disclosures.

As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019 our investments in real estate-related securities consisted of $21.8$34.0 million in shares of common stock of publicly-traded REITs. We may be exposed to market risk with respect to our investments in real estate-related securities due to changes in the fair value of our investments. The fair value may fluctuate, thus the amount we will realizedrealize upon any sale of our investments is unknown. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the fair value at which we may sell our investments in real estate-related securities is not known, but we believe that a 10% change in the fair value of our investments in real estate-related securities may result in an unrealized loss of $2.2$3.4 million.
