1.	Business and Organization

NorthStar/RXR New York Metro Real Estate, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed to acquire a high-quality commercial real estate (“CRE”) portfolio concentrated in the New York metropolitan area, and in particular New York City, with a focus on office, mixed-use properties and a lesser emphasis on multifamily properties. The Company intends to complement this strategy by originating and acquiring: (i) CRE debt, including subordinate loans and participations in such loans and preferred equity interests; and (ii) joint ventures and partnership interests in CRE related investments. The Company was formed on March 21, 2014 as a Maryland corporation and ~~intends~~elected to ~~make an election to qualify~~be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), commencing with the taxable year ~~ending~~ended December 31, 2016.

The Company is externally managed and has no employees. Prior to January 11, 2017, the Company was managed by an affiliate of NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc. ~~(NYSE: NSAM)~~ (“NSAM”). Effective January 10, 2017, NSAM completed its ~~previously announced~~ merger with Colony Capital, Inc. ~~(“Colony”)~~, NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. (“NorthStar Realty”), and Colony NorthStar, Inc. (“Colony NorthStar”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NSAM, which the Company refers to as the mergers, with Colony NorthStar surviving the mergers and succeeding NSAM as one of the Company’s co-sponsors. As a result of the mergers, Colony NorthStar became an internally-managed equity REIT, with a diversified real estate and investment management platform and publicly-traded on the ~~NYSE under the~~New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Effective June 25, 2018, Colony NorthStar changed its name to Colony Capital, Inc. (“Colony Capital”) and its ticker symbol ~~“CLNS.~~on the NYSE from “CLNS” to “CLNY.” CNI NS/RXR Advisors, LLC ~~as successor to NSAM J-NS/RXR Ltd~~ (the “Advisor”), is ~~now~~ a subsidiary of Colony ~~NorthStar.~~Capital. The Advisor manages the Company’s day-to-day operations pursuant to an advisory agreement. ~~The mergers had no material impact on the Company’s operations.~~

The Company is sub-advised by RXR NTR Sub-Advisor LLC (“Sub-advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of the Company’s other co-sponsor, RXR Realty LLC (“RXR”). The Company’s Advisor and Sub-advisor are collectively referred to as the Advisor Entities. The Company, its Advisor and its Sub-advisor entered into a sub-advisory agreement delegating certain investment responsibilities of the Advisor to the Sub-advisor. Colony ~~NorthStar~~Capital and RXR are each referred to as a Co-sponsor and collectively as the Co-sponsors.

Substantially all business of the Company is conducted through NorthStar/RXR Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the sole general partner and a limited partner of the Operating Partnership. NorthStar/RXR NTR OP Holdings LLC (the “Special Unit Holder”) (a joint venture between Colony ~~NorthStar~~Capital and RXR) has invested $1,000 in the Operating Partnership and has been issued a separate class of limited partnership units (the “Special Units”), which is recorded as non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheets. As the Company accepts subscriptions for shares, it transfers substantially all of the net proceeds from the continuous, public offering to the Operating Partnership as a capital contribution.

The Company’s charter authorizes the issuance of up to 400,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. Of the total shares of common stock authorized, 120,000,000 are classified as Class A shares (“Class A Shares”), 240,000,000 are classified as Class T shares (“Class T Shares”), and 40,000,000 are classified as Class I shares (“Class I Shares”). The board of directors of the Company is authorized to amend its charter, without the approval of the stockholders, to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of capital stock or the number of shares of any class or series that the Company has authority to issue or to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of common stock into one or more classes or series.

On March 28, 2014, as part of its formation, the Company issued 16,667 shares of common stock to ~~NorthStar Realty~~a subsidiary of Colony Capital, and 5,556 shares of common stock to a subsidiary of RXR for $0.2 million, all of which were subsequently renamed Class A Shares. On February 9, 2015, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-11 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) was declared effective to offer a minimum of $2.0 million and a maximum of $2.0 billion in shares of common stock in a continuous, public offering, of which up to $1.8 billion ~~can be~~was offered pursuant to its primary offering (the “Primary Offering”) at a purchase price of $10.1111 per Class A Share and $9.5538 per Class T Share and up to $200.0 million pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) at a purchase price of $9.81 per Class A Share and $9.27 per Class T Share.

On December 23, 2015, the Company commenced operations by satisfying the minimum offering requirement in the Primary Offering as a result of ~~NorthStar Realty~~a subsidiary of Colony Capital and RXR purchasing $1.5 million and $0.5 million in Class A Shares, respectively.

On August 22, 2016, the Company filed a post-effective amendment to its registration statement that reclassified its common stock offered pursuant to its registration statement into Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares. The SEC declared the ~~post-~~post-effective amendment effective on October 26, 2016. Pursuant to the registration statement, as amended, the Company offered for

~~effective amendment effective on October 26, 2016. Pursuant to the registration statement, as amended, the Company is offering for~~ sale up to $1.8 billion in shares of common stock at a price of $10.1111 per Class A Share, $9.5538 per Class T Share and $9.10 per Class I Share in the Primary Offering, and up to $200.0 million in shares under the DRP at a price of $9.81 per Class A Share, $9.27 per Class T Share and $9.10 per Class I Share. The Primary Offering and the DRP are herein collectively referred to as the Offering. The Company retained NorthStar Securities, LLC (“NorthStar Securities”), an affiliate of its Advisor and one of its co-sponsors, to serve as the dealer manager (the “Dealer Manager”) ~~for~~and to market the ~~Primary Offering. The Dealer Manager is also responsible for marketing the~~ shares ~~being~~ offered pursuant to the Primary Offering. ~~The board of directors of the Company has the right to reallocate shares between the Primary Offering and the DRP.~~

In November 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved an extension of the Offering by one year to February 9, 2018. On February 2, 2018, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC for a follow-on public offering of up to $200.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock, of which $150.0 million are to be offered pursuant to a primary offering and $50.0 million are to be offered pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan. The follow-on offering has not yet been declared effective by the SEC and there can be no assurance that the Company will commence the follow-on offering.

On March 15, 2018, the Company’s board ~~has the right~~of directors determined to ~~further extend or~~ terminate the Primary Offering ~~at any time, as permitted by applicable law~~effective March 31, 2018 and ~~regulation.~~the DRP effective April 2, 2018, after the issuance of shares with respect to the distributions declared for the month of March 2018.

From inception through ~~August 8, 2017,~~the termination of the Offering, the Company raised total gross proceeds of ~~$29.4~~$40.7 million pursuant to the Offering, including gross proceeds of ~~$38,461~~$327,073 pursuant to the DRP.


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Quarterly Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, which was filed with the SEC on March ~~21, 2017.~~20, 2018.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”), if any, where the Company is the primary beneficiary and voting interest entities which are generally majority owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. All significant intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entities

A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A VIE is defined as an entity in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE includes both a qualitative and quantitative analysis. The Company bases its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and relevant financial agreements and the quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flow of the entity. The Company reassesses its initial evaluation of an entity as a VIE upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events.

A VIE must be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who, along with its affiliates and agents has both the: (i) power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of its investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other interests to provide financial support; consideration of the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of the Company and the other interests.

(Unaudited)

The Company reassesses its determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE each reporting period. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair value and performance of investments held by these VIEs and general market conditions.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~NORTHSTAR/RXR NEW YORK METRO REAL ESTATE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

The Company evaluates its investments, including investments in unconsolidated ventures, ~~if any,~~ to determine whether each investment is a VIE. The Company analyzes new investments, as well as reconsideration events for existing investments, which vary depending on type of investment.

The most significant consolidated VIE is the Operating Partnership, which is a VIE because the non-controlling interests do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. The Company consolidates this entity because it controls all significant business activities. The Operating Partnership consolidates certain VIEs that have non-controlling interests. Included in real estate debt investment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, ~~2017~~2018 is ~~$15.0~~$34.9 million related to such consolidated ~~VIE.~~VIEs. The Company consolidates these entities because it determined it is the primary beneficiary.

As of June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company identified unconsolidated VIEs related to its investment in an unconsolidated venture. Based on management’s analysis, the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the VIEs are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The Company did not provide financial support to the unconsolidated VIEs during the six months ended June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. As of June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, there were no explicit arrangements or implicit variable interests that could require the Company to provide financial support to its unconsolidated VIEs.

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as of June 30, ~~2017~~2018 would not exceed its investment in the VIEs. Creditors of each of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Voting Interest Entities

A voting interest entity is an entity in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable it to finance its activities independently and the equity holders have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the losses of the entity and the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest in a voting interest entity is ownership of a majority voting interest. If the Company has a majority voting interest in a voting interest entity, the entity will generally be consolidated. The Company does not consolidate a voting interest entity if there are substantive participating rights by other parties and/or kick-out rights by a single party or a simple majority vote.

The Company performs on-going reassessments of whether entities previously evaluated under the voting interest framework have become VIEs, based on certain events, and therefore subject to the VIE consolidation framework.

Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures

A non-controlling, unconsolidated ownership interest in an entity may be accounted for using the equity method, ~~or cost method, and for either method, the Company may elect the~~ fair value ~~option.~~ option or net asset value ("NAV") practical expedient, if elected, or for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, the measurement alternative to measure at cost adjusted for any impairment and observable price changes, as applicable.

The Company will account for an investment ~~in an unconsolidated entity that does not qualify for~~under the equity method of accounting ~~using~~if it has the ~~cost method if~~ability to exercise significant influence over the ~~Company determines that it~~operating and financial policies of an entity, but does not have ~~significant influence. Under the cost method, equity in earnings is recorded as dividends are received to the extent they are not considered~~ a ~~return of capital, which is recorded as a reduction of cost of the investment.~~

controlling financial interest. Under the equity method, the investment is adjusted each period for capital contributions and distributions and its share of the entity’s net income (loss). Capital contributions, distributions and net income (loss) of such entities are recorded in accordance with the terms of the governing documents. An allocation of net income (loss) may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entity as a result of preferred returns and allocation formulas, if any, as described in such governing documents. Equity method investments are recognized using a cost accumulation model in which the investment is recognized based on the cost to the investor, which includes acquisition fees. The Company records as an expense certain acquisition costs and fees associated with consolidated investments deemed to be business combinations and capitalizes these costs for investments deemed to be acquisitions of an asset, including an equity method investment.

~~The Company may account for an investment in an unconsolidated entity using either the equity or cost methods, but may choose to record the investment at fair value by electing the fair value option.~~

The Company elected the fair value option for its investment in an unconsolidated venture and records the corresponding results from operations, which includes dividends received and its share of the change in fair value of the underlying investment, as equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated venture on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company measures fair value using the ~~net asset value (“NAV”)~~NAV of the underlying investment as a practical expedient as permitted by the guidance on fair value measurement. ~~Dividends received in excess of cumulative equity in earnings from the unconsolidated venture will be deemed as a return of capital.~~

Table of Contents

NORTHSTAR/RXR NEW YORK METRO REAL ESTATE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Dividends received in excess of cumulative equity in earnings from the unconsolidated venture will be deemed as a return of capital.

Non-controlling Interests

A non-controlling interest in a consolidated subsidiary is defined as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. A non-controlling interest is required to be presented as a separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets and presented separately as net income (loss) attributable to controlling and non-controlling interests. An allocation to a non-controlling interest may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entity as a result of a preferred return and allocation formula, if any, as described in such governing documents.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Fair Value Option

The fair value option provides an election that allows a company to irrevocably elect to record certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis at initial recognition. Any change in fair value for assets and liabilities for which the election is made is recognized in earnings. The Company has elected the fair value option for its investment in an unconsolidated venture.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash, including amounts restricted, may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250,000 per institution. The Company mitigates credit risk by placing cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income earned on cash deposits is reflected as other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Real Estate Debt Investments

CRE debt investments are generally intended to be held to maturity and, accordingly, are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan fees, premium and discount. CRE debt investments that are deemed to be impaired are carried at amortized cost less a reserve, if deemed appropriate, which would approximate fair value. CRE debt investments where the Company does not have the intent to hold the loan for the foreseeable future or until its expected payoff are classified as held for sale and recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value.

Acquisition Expenses

The total of all acquisition expenses for an investment cannot exceed, in the aggregate, 6.0% of the contract purchase price of such investment unless such excess is approved by a majority of the directors, including independent directors. From inception through June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, total acquisition expenses did not exceed the allowed limit for any investment. The Company records as an expense certain acquisition costs associated with transactions deemed to be business combinations in which it consolidates the asset and capitalizes these costs for transactions deemed to be acquisitions of an asset, including an equity investment.

Revenue Recognition

Real Estate Debt Investments

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and any related premium, discount, origination costs and fees are amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The amortization is reflected as an adjustment to interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. The amortization of a premium or accretion of a discount is discontinued if such investment is reclassified to held for sale.

Credit Losses and Impairment on Investments

Real Estate Debt Investments

CRE debt investments are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms. The Company assesses the credit quality of the portfolio and adequacy of reserves on a quarterly basis or more frequently as necessary. Significant judgment of the Company is required in this analysis. The Company considers the estimated net recoverable value of the investment as well

~~Table of Contents~~

~~NORTHSTAR/RXR NEW YORK METRO REAL ESTATE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the quality and financial condition of the borrower and the competitive situation of the area where the underlying collateral is located. Because this determination is based on projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amount ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. If upon completion of the assessment, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral is less than the net carrying value of the investment, a reserve is recorded with a corresponding charge to a credit provision. The reserve is maintained at a level that is determined to be adequate by management to absorb probable losses. Income recognition is suspended for an investment at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90-days past due or when, in the opinion of the Company, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired investment is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired investment is not in doubt, contractual interest is recorded as interest income when received, under the cash basis method until an accrual is resumed when the investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Interest accrued and not collected will be reversed against interest income. An investment is written off when it is no longer realizable and/or legally discharged. As of June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company did not have any impaired CRE debt investments.

Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures

The Company will review its investments in unconsolidated ventures for which the Company did not elect the fair value option on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary, to assess whether there are any indicators that the value may be impaired or that its carrying value may not be recoverable. An investment is considered impaired if the projected net recoverable amount over the expected holding period is less than the carrying value. In conducting this review, the Company will consider U.S. and global macroeconomic factors, including real estate sector conditions, together with investment specific and other factors. To the extent an impairment has occurred and is considered to be other than temporary, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the estimated fair value and recorded in equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated ventures in the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company did not have any investments in unconsolidated ventures for which the Company did not elect the fair value option.

Organization and Offering Costs

The Advisor Entities, or their affiliates, ~~are~~were entitled to receive reimbursement for organization and offering costs paid on behalf of the Company in connection with the Offering. The Company iswas obligated to reimburse the Advisor Entities, ~~or their affiliates,~~ as applicable, for organization and offering costs to the extent the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution fees and other organization and offering costs dodid not exceed ~~15.0%~~15% of gross ~~offering~~ proceeds from the Offering. Based on gross proceeds of $40.7 million from the Offering, the Company incurred reimbursable organizational and offering costs, excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees, of 1.0%. The Company ~~records~~recorded organization and offering costs each period based ~~upon~~on an allocation ~~determined by the expectation~~ of expected total organization and offering costs to be reimbursed. Organization costs ~~are~~were recorded ~~as an expense~~ in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and offering costs ~~are~~were recorded as a reduction to equity.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation awards using the fair value method, which requires an estimate of fair value of the award at the time of grant. All fixed equity-based awards to the Company’s independent directors, which have no vesting conditions other than time of service, are amortized to compensation expense over the awards’ vesting period on a straight-line basis. Equity-based compensation is classified within general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company ~~intends to elect~~elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and to operate as such, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2016. The Company had little or no taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To ~~qualify~~maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to

distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company intends to operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Equity Method Accounting—In March 2016, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ~~guidance~~Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting, which amends several aspects of the accounting for equity-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statements of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the new guidance prospectively on January 1, 2017, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Credit Losses—In June 2016, the FASB issued ~~guidance that~~ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which changes the impairment model for most financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an allowance for expected losses, rather than incurred losses as required currently by the other-than-temporary impairment model. The guidance will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit exposures (e.g., loan commitments). The new guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and will be applied as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Cash Flow Classifications—In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. This guidance ~~that makes~~addresses eight ~~targeted changes to~~types of cash flows, which includes clarifying how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments ~~are presented and classified in the statement~~have aspects of more than one class of cash ~~flows.

The Company ~~does not believe that~~adopted this ~~guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.~~

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. Entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company early adopted the new guidance prospectivelystandard on January 1, ~~2017~~2018, and ~~the adoption of this standard~~it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Business Combinations—In January 2017, the FASB issued ~~an accounting update to amend~~ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which amends the guidance for determining whether a transaction involves the purchase or disposal of a business or an asset. The amendments clarify that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2017. The amendments in this update will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company expects that acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate will not meet the revised definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e. land, buildings and related intangible assets). A significant difference between the accounting for an asset acquisition and a business combination is that transaction costs are capitalized for an asset acquisition, rather than expensed for a business combination. The Company adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2018, and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Derecognition of Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets—In February 2017, the FASB issued ~~an accounting update~~ASU No. 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which clarifies the scope and application of recently established guidance on recognition of gains and losses from derecognition of non-financial assets, and defines in-substance non-financial assets. In addition, the guidance clarifies the accounting for partial sales of non-financial assets to be more consistent with the accounting for sale of a business. Specifically, in a partial sale to a non-customer, when a non-controlling interest is received or retained, the latter is considered a non-cash consideration and measured at fair value, which would result in full gain or loss recognized upon sale. ~~This guidance has the same~~The effective date ~~as the new revenue~~for this guidance ~~which~~ is January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2017. ~~Both~~The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the ~~revenue guidance and this update must be adopted concurrently. While the transition method is similar to the new revenue guidance, either full retrospective or~~ modified retrospective the transition approach need not be aligned between both updates.

Under the new standard, if the Company sells a partial interest in its real estate assets to noncustomers or contributes real estate assets to unconsolidated ventures, and the Company retains a noncontrolling interest in the asset, such transactions could result in a larger gain on sale. The adoption of this standard could have a material impact to the Company's results of operations in a period if the Company sells a significant partial interest in a real estate asset. There were no such sales for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The following is a description of the Company’s real estate debt ~~investment:~~investments:

In May 2017, the Company, through a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, completed the acquisition of a $9.5 million interest in a $15.0 million mezzanine loan through a joint venture with RXR Real Estate Value Added Fund - Fund III LP (together with its parallel funds, “VAF III”), an affiliate of RXR who acquired a $0.5 million interest in the loan, and an unaffiliated third party, who originated the loan and retained the remaining $5.0 million interest in the loan. The loan is secured by a pledge of an ownership interest in a retail development project located in Times Square, New York. The loan bears interest at a floating rate of 9.25% over the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and ~~has~~had an initial maturity in November 2017, with two one-year extension options available to the borrower. In September 2017, the borrower exercised its right to extend the term of the loan until November 2018. In August 2018, the borrower repaid the loan in full. Refer to Note 11, “Subsequent Events” for further discussion.

In August 2017, the Company, through a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, completed the origination of a $12.0 million pari passu interest in a $20.0 million mezzanine loan, secured by a pledge of an ownership interest in a luxury condominium development project located in the West Village of New York City. The Company completed the investment through a partnership with VAF III, which contributed the remaining $8.0 million of the loan origination. In February 2018, the Company, through a subsidiary of its operating partnership, completed the acquisition of an additional $7.0 million interest from VAF III, and now holds a $19.0 million interest in the loan. VAF III now holds the remaining $1.0 million interest in the loan. The loan bears interest at a floating rate of 9.5% over the one-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR ceiling of 1.5%. The loan had a 1.0% origination fee and has an initial term of three years, with two one-year extension options available to the borrower.


5.	Related Party Arrangements

Advisor Entities

Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the Advisor Entities are responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying, acquiring, originating and asset managing investments on behalf of the Company. The Advisor Entities may delegate certain of their obligations to affiliated entities, which may be organized under the laws of the United States or foreign jurisdictions. References to the Advisor Entities include the Advisor Entities and any such affiliated entities. For such services, to the extent permitted by law and regulations, the Advisor Entities receive fees and reimbursements from the Company, of which the Sub-advisor generally receives 50% of all fees and up to 25% of all reimbursements. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Advisor may defer or waive fees in its discretion.

The Company entered into advisory and sub-advisory agreements with the Advisor Entities, which each have a one-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Advisor Entities and the Company’s board of directors, including a majority of its independent directors. In February 2017, the ~~Advisor~~Company amended and restated its advisory agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”) with the ~~Company~~Advisor for a term ending June 30, ~~2017.~~2017, which eliminated the acquisition fees and disposition fees payable to the Advisor Entities, and reduced the monthly asset management fee payable to the Advisor Entities from one-twelfth of 1.25% to one-twelfth of 1.0% (as discussed further below). On March 17, 2017, the Company entered into a second amended and restated sub-advisory agreement with its Sub-advisor for a term ending June 30, ~~2017.~~2017, which reflected the amendments to the fees in the Amended Advisory Agreement. In June ~~2017,~~2018, the Amended Advisory Agreement and the sub-advisory agreement were renewed for an additional one-year ~~term~~terms commencing on June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, with terms identical to those in effect through June 30, ~~2017.~~

The Company pays the Sub-advisor, or its affiliates, development, leasing, property management and construction related service fees that are usual and customary for owners and operators in the geographic area of the property. Below is a description of the fees and reimbursements in effect commencing on February 7, 2017 incurred to the Advisor Entities.

Fees to Advisor Entities

Asset Management Fee

In February 2017, the Amended Advisory Agreement reduced the monthly asset management fee payable to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the cost of investments or sum of the amount funded or allocated for CRE investments, including expenses and any financing attributable to such investments, less any principal received on debt and securities investments (or the proportionate share thereof in the case of an investment made through a joint venture). Prior to that date, the Advisor Entities received a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.25% of the cost of investments.

Incentive Fee

The Advisor Entities, or ~~its~~their affiliates, isare entitled to receive distributions equal to 15.0% of net cash flows of the Company, whether from continuing operations, repayment of loans, disposition of assets or otherwise, but only after stockholders have received, in the aggregate, cumulative distributions equal to their invested capital plus a 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded annual pre-tax return on such invested capital.

Acquisition Fee

In February 2017, the Amended Advisory Agreement eliminated the acquisition fees payable to the Advisor Entities. Prior to that date, the Advisor Entities were entitled to receive fees for providing structuring, diligence, underwriting advice and related services in connection with real estate acquisitions equal to 2.25% of each real estate property acquired by the Company, including acquisition costs and any financing attributable to an equity investment (or the proportionate share thereof in the case of an indirect equity investment made through a joint venture or other investment vehicle) and 1.0% of the amount funded or allocated by the Company to acquire or originate CRE debt investments, including acquisition costs and any financing attributable to such investments (or the proportionate share thereof in the case of an indirect investment made through a joint venture or other investment vehicle). From inception through February 2017, the Advisor Entities waived $0.1 million of acquisition fees.

Disposition Fee

In February 2017, the Amended Advisory Agreement eliminated the disposition fees payable to the Advisor Entities. Prior to that date, the Advisor Entities were entitled to receive a disposition fee equal to 2.0% of the contract sales price of each property sold and 1.0% of the contract sales price of each CRE debt investment sold or syndicated for substantial assistance in connection with the sale of investments and based on the services provided, as determined by the Company’s independent directors. From inception through February 2017, no disposition fees were incurred or paid.

Reimbursements to Advisor Entities

Operating Costs

The Advisor Entities are entitled to receive reimbursement for direct and indirect operating costs incurred by the Advisor Entities in connection with administrative services provided to the Company. The Advisor Entities allocate, in good faith, indirect costs to the Company related to the Advisor Entities and their affiliates’ employees, occupancy and other general and administrative costs and expenses in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the limitations contained in, the advisory agreement with the Advisor Entities. The indirect costs include the Company’s allocable share of the Advisor Entities compensation and benefit costs associated with dedicated or partially dedicated personnel who spend all or a portion of their time managing the Company’s affairs, based upon the percentage of time devoted by such personnel to the Company’s affairs. The indirect costs also include rental and occupancy, technology, office supplies, travel and entertainment and other general and administrative costs and expenses also allocated based on the percentage of time devoted by personnel to the Company’s affairs. However, there is no reimbursement for personnel costs related to executive officers (although there may be reimbursement for certain executive officers of the Advisor) and other personnel involved in activities for which the Advisor Entities receive an acquisition fee or a disposition fee. The Advisor Entities allocate these costs to the Company relative to ~~its~~their and ~~its~~their affiliates’ other managed companies in good faith and ~~has~~have reviewed the allocation with the Company’s board of directors, including its independent directors. The Advisor Entities update the board of directors on a quarterly basis of any material changes to the expense allocation and provide a detailed review to the board of directors, at least annually, and as otherwise requested by the board of directors. The Company reimburses the Advisor Entities

quarterly for operating costs (including the asset management fee) based on a calculation for the four preceding fiscal quarters not to exceed the greater of: (i) 2.0% of its average invested assets; or (ii) 25.0% of its net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, loan losses or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period (the “2%/25% Guidelines”). Notwithstanding the above, the Company may reimburse the Advisor Entities for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of the Company’s independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. The Company calculates the expense reimbursement quarterly based upon the trailing twelve-month period.

Organization and Offering Costs

The Advisor Entities ~~are~~were entitled to receive reimbursement for organization and offering costs paid on behalf of the Company in connection with the Offering. The Company iswas obligated to reimburse the Advisor Entities, as applicable, for organization and offering costs to the extent the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution fees and other organization and offering costs dodid not exceed 15% of gross proceeds from the Offering. ~~The~~Based on gross proceeds of $40.7 million from the

Dealer Manager

Selling Commissions, Dealer Manager Fees and Distribution Fees

Pursuant to a dealer manager agreement, the Company ~~pays~~paid the Dealer Manager selling commissions of up to 7.0% of gross proceeds from the sale of Class A Shares and up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Class T Shares issued in the Primary Offering, all of which ~~are~~were reallowed to participating broker-dealers. The Company ~~pays~~paid the Dealer Manager a dealer manager fee of up to 3.0% of gross proceeds from the sale of Class A Shares and up to 2.75% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Class T Shares issued in the Primary Offering, a portion of which iswas typically reallowed to participating broker-dealers and paid to certain employees of the Dealer Manager. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees ~~are~~were paid for the sale of Class I Shares. The Dealer Manager ~~may~~was also able to enter into participating dealer agreements that provide for the Dealer Manager to pay a distribution fee of up to 2.0% over a maximum eight-year period in connection with the sale of Class I Shares in the Primary Offering. The Company will not reimburse the Dealer Manager for its payment of these fees and such fees will be subject to the limitations on underwriting compensation under applicable ~~FINRA~~Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) rules.

In addition, the Company ~~pays~~paid the Dealer Manager a distribution fee of up to 1.0% annually of gross proceeds from the sale of Class T Shares issued in the Primary Offering, all of which ~~are~~were reallowed to participating broker-dealers. The Dealer Manager ~~will~~would cease receiving distribution fees with respect to each Class T Share upon the earliest of the following to occur: (i) a listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on a national securities exchange; (ii) such Class T Share is no longer outstanding; (iii) the Dealer Manager’s determination that total underwriting compensation with respect to all Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares would be in excess of 10% of the gross proceeds of the Primary Offering; or (iv) the end of the month in which total underwriting compensation, with respect to Class T Shares issued in connection with the Primary Offering held by a stockholder within his or her particular account would be in excess of 10% of the stockholder’s total gross investment amount at the time of purchase of the primary Class T Shares held in such account.

In March 2018, although the Company had not paid underwriting compensation in excess of 10% of the gross proceeds of the Primary Offering, the Company determined that total underwriting compensation with respect to all Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares was in excess of 10% of the gross proceeds of the Primary Offering. As a result, the Dealer Manager ceased receiving distribution fees with respect to each Class T Share.

No selling commissions or dealer manager fees ~~are~~were paid for sales pursuant to the DRP or the Company’s distribution support agreement (“Distribution Support Agreement”).

Sub-advisor Fees

Affiliates of the Company’s Sub-advisor provide leasing and management services for the property underlying the Company’s unconsolidated venture investment in 1285 AoA. For the six months ended June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company’s indirect share of management fees incurred by the unconsolidated venture was approximately ~~$17,000.~~$81,000.

6.	Equity-Based Compensation

The Company adopted a long-term incentive plan (the “Plan”), which it may use to attract and retain qualified officers, directors, employees and consultants, as well as an independent directors compensation plan, which is a component of the Plan. All stock issued under the Plan will consist of Class A Shares unless the board of directors of the Company determines otherwise. The Company currently intends to issue awards only to its independent directors under the Plan. The Company accounts for its equity-based compensation awards using the fair value method, which requires an estimate of fair value of the award at the time of grant. All fixed equity-based awards to directors, which have no vesting conditions other than time of service, are amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Equity-based compensation is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted Class A Shares of restricted common stock to its three independent directors concurrent with when the Company made its first investment in May 2016. As of June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company’s independent directors have been granted a cumulative total of 30,000 Class A Shares of restricted common stock for an aggregate value of $0.3 million, based on the share price on the date of each grant. The restricted common stock granted vests quarterly over two years. However, the stock will become fully vested on the earlier occurrence of: (i) the termination of the independent director’s service as a director due to his or her death or disability; or (ii) a change in control of the Company.

The Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of ~~$28,806~~$28,437 and ~~$9,479~~$28,806 for the three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively, and ~~$57,245~~$66,354 and ~~$9,479~~$57,245 for the six months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively, related to the issuance of restricted stock to the independent directors, which was recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

9.	Fair Value

Fair Value Measurement

The fair value of financial instruments is categorized based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique and categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:


Level 1.	Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.


Level 2.	Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:


a)	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.


b)	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets.


c)	Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.


d)	Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3.	Prices or valuation techniques based on inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV as a practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation technique used to measure fair value of assets accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and the general classification of the investment pursuant to the fair value hierarchy.

Investment in Unconsolidated Venture

The Company accounts for its equity investment in 1285 AoA through an unconsolidated venture at fair value based upon its share of the NAV of the underlying investment companies (the “1285 Investment Companies”). The Company continuously reviews the NAV provided by the 1285 Investment Companies, which were created solely for the purpose of pooling investor capital to invest in the 1285 AoA property. There is no active market for the Company’s ownership interest in the 1285 Investment Companies and any sale of the Company’s ownership interests is generally restricted and subject to approval by the general partner of the 1285 Investment Companies. Distributions from 1285 AoA will generally be received on a monthly basis.

As of June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the fair value of the Company’s investment in an unconsolidated venture was ~~$5.5~~$5.4 million. As the Company utilizes NAV to determine fair value as a practical expedient, the Company will not present its investment in 1285 AoA within the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In addition to the above disclosures regarding financial assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value, U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of fair value about all financial instruments. The following disclosure of estimated fair value of financial instruments was determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. 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 financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value.

The following table presents the principal amount, carrying value and fair value of certain financial assets as of June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016:~~2017:


	June 30, 2017						December 31, 2016						June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)						December 31, 2017

The Company consolidates the investment and records a non-controlling interest for the ownership of RXR and the unaffiliated third party.


(3)	Includes a $20.0 million mezzanine loan interest, net of unamortized origination fee, originated through a joint venture with an affiliate of RXR. The Company’s proportionate interest of the loan is 95.0%, representing $19.0 million of the principal amount. The Company consolidates the investment and records a non-controlling interest for the ownership of RXR.

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of the reporting date. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect fair value, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

the Company believes the principal amount approximates fair value. These fair value measurements of CRE debt are generally based on unobservable inputs and, as such, are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our ~~unaudited~~ consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1. “Financial Statements” and risk factors in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this report. References to “we,” “us” or “our” refer to NorthStar/RXR New York Metro Real Estate, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

Introduction

We were formed to acquire a high-quality commercial real estate, or CRE, portfolio concentrated in the New York metropolitan area, and in particular New York City, with a focus on office, mixed-use properties and a lesser emphasis on multifamily properties. We intend to complement this strategy by originating and acquiring: (i) CRE debt, including subordinate loans and participations in such loans and preferred equity interests; and (ii) joint ventures and partnership interests in CRE related investments. We were formed on March 21, 2014 as a Maryland corporation and ~~intend~~elected to ~~make an election to qualify~~be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016.

We are externally managed and have no employees. Prior to January 11, 2017, we were managed by an affiliate of NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc. ~~(NYSE: NSAM)~~, or NSAM. Effective January 10, 2017, NSAM completed its ~~previously announced~~ merger with Colony Capital, Inc., ~~or Colony,~~ NorthStar Realty Finance Corp., or NorthStar Realty, and Colony NorthStar, Inc., or Colony NorthStar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NSAM, which we refer to as the mergers, with Colony NorthStar surviving the mergers and succeeding NSAM as ~~our~~ one of our co-sponsors. As a result of the mergers, Colony NorthStar became an internally-managed equity REIT, with a diversified real estate and investment management platform and publicly-traded on the ~~NYSE under the~~New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. Effective June 25, 2018, Colony NorthStar changed its name to Colony Capital, Inc., or Colony Capital, and its ticker symbol ~~“CLNS.~~on the NYSE from “CLNS” to “CLNY.” CNI NS/RXR Advisors, LLC, ~~as successor to NSAM J-NS/RXR Ltd,~~ or our Advisor, is ~~now~~ a subsidiary of Colony ~~NorthStar.~~Capital. Our Advisor manages our day-to-day operations pursuant to an advisory agreement. ~~The~~ ~~mergers had no material impact on our operations.~~

Colony ~~NorthStar~~Capital manages capital on behalf of its stockholders, as well as institutional and retail investors in private funds, non-traded and traded REITs and registered investment companies. As of June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, Colony ~~NorthStar~~Capital had approximately ~~$56.0~~$43.0 billion of assets under management, including Colony ~~NorthStar’s~~Capital’s balance sheet investments and ~~third-party~~third party managed investments.

We are sub-advised by RXR NTR Sub-Advisor LLC, or our Sub-advisor, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of our other co-sponsor, RXR Realty LLC, or RXR. RXR is a New York-based, approximately ~~450-person,~~500-person vertically integrated real estate operating and development company with expertise in a wide array of value creation activities, including distressed investments, uncovering value in complex transactions, structured finance investments and real estate development. RXR’s core growth strategy is focused on New York City and the surrounding ~~tri-state area markets. The~~region. As of June 30, 2018, the RXR platform manages 74 75 commercial real estate properties and investments with an aggregate gross asset value of approximately ~~$15.7~~$18.1 billion, ~~as of~~ ~~June 30, 2017~~, comprising approximately ~~22.1~~25.5 million square feet of commercial ~~operating~~ properties, inclusive of a multifamily residential portfolio of approximately 2,600 units under operation or development, and control of development rights for an additional approximately ~~5,200~~3,600 multifamily and for sale units ~~under development~~ in the New York metropolitan area. Gross asset value is compiled by RXR in accordance with its fair value measurement policy and is comprised of capital invested by RXR and its partners, as well as leverage.

~~Our Advisor and Sub-advisor are collectively referred to as our Advisor Entities.~~ We, our Advisor and our Sub-advisor entered into a sub-advisory agreement delegating certain investment responsibilities of our Advisor to our Sub-advisor. Our Advisor and Sub-advisor are collectively referred to as the Advisor Entities. Colony ~~NorthStar~~Capital and RXR are each referred to as a Co-sponsor and collectively as our Co-sponsors.

~~Our primary investment types will be as follows:~~

~~Commercial Real Estate Equity~~ - Our CRE equity investments will primarily be high-quality commercial real estate concentrated in the New York metropolitan area with a focus on office and mixed-use properties and a lesser emphasis on multifamily properties. These investments may include direct and indirect ownership in real estate and real estate assets that may or may not be structurally senior to a third-party partner’s equity.

~~Commercial Real Estate Debt~~- ~~Our CRE debt investments may include~~ ~~subordinate loans and participations in such loans and preferred equity interests~~.

~~Commercial Real Estate Securities -~~ Our CRE securities investments may include commercial mortgage backed securities, or CMBS, backed by real estate in the New York metropolitan area and may include collateralized debt obligation, or CDO, notes and other securities.

We believe that our targeted investment types are complementary to each other due to their overlapping sources of investment opportunities, common reliance on real estate fundamentals and ability to apply similar portfolio management and servicing skills to maximize value and to protect shareholder capital. We believe our Advisor Entities’ platform and experience provide us the flexibility to invest across the real estate capital structure.

Sources of Operating Revenues and Cash Flows

We expect to primarily generate revenue from rental income and interest income. Rental and escalation income will be generated from our operating real estate for the leasing of space to various tenants. The leases will be for fixed terms of varying length and generally provide for annual rentals and expense reimbursements to be paid in monthly installments. Rental income from leases will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. Interest income will be generated from our CRE debt and securities investments. Additionally, we record equity in earnings for CRE investments which we may own through unconsolidated ventures.

Profitability and Performance Metrics

We calculate Funds from Operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, and Modified Funds from Operations, or MFFO, as defined by the ~~Investment Program Association,~~Institute for Portfolio Alternatives, or IPA, to evaluate the profitability and performance of our business.

Outlook and Recent Trends

~~At the national level, the~~The U.S. economy continues to demonstrate positive underlying fundamentals, with moderate gross domestic product, or GDP, growth and improving employment conditions. The Federal Reserve’s June ~~2017~~2018 decision to raise the federal funds rate ~~for~~to a target 1.75%-2.00%, the ~~fourth time~~highest in ~~almost~~nearly a decade, reflects a consensus that the economic foundation driving the current expansion ~~is sound, as well as a belief~~remains sound. Additionally, the labor market is ~~close to or already~~effectively at full employment. While federal funds rate increases should theoretically put upward pressure on the risk-free rate, the 10-year Treasury note rate remained steady at 2.31% at quarter-end, reflecting the market’s belief in a conservative longer-run inflation rate while the economy continues to strengthen. The Federal Open Market Committee met in July 2017employment, fueling wage growth and noted the “labor market has continued to strengthen and economic activity has been rising moderately so far this year.

While some market participants believe that higher interest rates may potentially reduce investor demand in the broader commercial real estate market, we expect real estate prices and returns to remain attractive.

~~Domestically, President Donald Trump’s unexpected victory in November concluded~~New York

We believe the New York real estate market remains poised for growth, due to a ~~year~~rising population and improving labor market. The U.S. Census Bureau’s most recent estimate indicates New York City’s population was approximately 8.5 million as of ~~political uncertainty. While~~July 2016, which represents an increase of approximately 4.4% over the ~~markets initially appeared poised to react negatively to the outcome,~~April 2010 decennial census, equaling a pace of growth not witnessed since the ~~election,~~1920’s.

While difficult to know for certain, it appears the markets have concluded the combination of a Trump presidency and a Republican-controlled Congress will lead to higher growth and more government spending (primarily on infrastructure and defense), less regulation (particularly on financial services institutions) and lower taxation (particularly on corporations). The U.S. dollar has weakened against the Eurozone’s euro by 3.1%, with some market speculation the probe into alleged Russian interferencejobs lost in the presidential election and a Republican-controlled Congress struggling to pass healthcare, tax cuts, and infrastructure spending may affect the President’s agenda. However, with the President’s promises to curb or reverse Dodd-Frank and its associated capital requirements that have affected profitability on Wall Street over the last eight years, these corporations are now seeing a path to growth again. Rising short-term interest rates also increase bank profits as the spread between a bank’s cost of capital and the interest it earns on its loans widen. The banking and insurance industry employs approximately 471,000 people inrecession (source: New York ~~City, representing approximately 10.7%~~State Department of ~~total non-farm employment and the~~Labor).

We believe there is a renewed focus on infrastructure spending from all levels of government (federal, state and local), which may reinforce ~~the~~New York City’s competitive advantages and support continued private sector growth. Congress has been solely focused on challenging healthcare legislation this year, and while a comprehensive infrastructure plan has yet to emerge, it remains a priority of the administration. The U.S. Senate Minority Leader, a Democratic senator representing New York, has expressed strong support for infrastructure spending. New York City is undergoing a large-scale transformation through significant public investments in its infrastructure, including the opening of the first subway expansion funded by the City of New York in 60 years, the connection of the Long Island Railroad with Grand Central Terminal and major improvements to local bridges, tunnels, harbors and airports. ~~The~~New York City also has a number of “shovel ready” projects poised to attract investment, including the redevelopment of LaGuardia Airport ~~expected to be an $8.0 billion project,~~ and ~~Governor Andrew Cuomo’s~~the proposed redevelopment of John F. Kennedy ~~Airport (JFK)~~Airport. These activities are anticipated to support a growing opportunity for private sector players to participate in public private partnerships to advance both public infrastructure projects and social infrastructure projects (i.e., expected to be an approximately $10.0 billion project. JFK’s proposed redevelopment recently took a step forward; the Port Authority is seeking a request for proposals for preliminary engineering and design. In additionprojects relating to the ~~main redevelopment plan, New York State is contributing $1.5 billion to improve the Van Wyck Expressway~~infrastructure of universities, hospitals and ~~Kew Gardens Interchange to reduce congestion to the airport.~~

We believe that over the next few years, the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union will be finalized and during that time other cities around the world may potentially see an increase in demand.

The U.S. Census Bureau’s most recent estimate indicates the City’s population was approximately 8.6 million which represents an increase of 375,000 residents over the April 2010 decennial census and a pace of growth not witnessed since the 1920’s.support continued private sector growth.

The New York City job market remains strong, with total non-farm jobs increasing by approximately 73,300 in the second quarter. New York City’s unemployment rate increased to 4.4% in June, ten basis points below the New York State unemployment rate of 4.5%. The labor market continues to retain approximately 4.4 million non-farm jobs, and the City’s economy is projected by Moody’s Analytics to expand at an annual rate of 2.7% in 2017.Office & Residential Markets

We believe the New York City office market is in a state of equilibrium and the New York metropolitan area will remain a strong market for commercial real estate investing in the United States. ~~Investment sales activity in~~ Manhattan totaled approximately $11.0 billion in the first half of the year, a significant decline from the $23.9 billion in the same period last year. It is unlikely investment sales activity in 2017 will approach the historically high levels of 2015 and 2016, though according to investment management company JLL, thirteen deals totaling $3.5 billion were under contract at the end of the second quarter and several additional high-profile partial- and full-interestexperienced strong new office properties were actively being marketed. In the event these transactions close, office investment volume in 2017 will remain healthy. New York City continues to attract strong international investment in real estate and a disproportionate share of foreign capital flows as compared to other major U.S. cities. Foreign capital participated in five of the top six office transactions in the first half of 2017. In the most recently available metrics, in the twelve months preceding the end of the first quarter, 25.2% of international capital investment in all property types across the United States was invested in New York City. By way of comparison, the next most heavily invested U.S. markets were San Francisco/San Jose, with 8.9% of total international capital and Washington D.C. at 6.9%.

The combination of institutional and foreign investor capital flows and expanding growth in the media and technology sectors continue to support robust transaction volume and valuations. The recovery of the Manhattan office market since the Great

Recession has been driven largely by growth in the creative industries-tech, advertising, media and information, or TAMI, as well as nonbanking financial services, including asset management and private equity (employment in the technology industry increased by 47% since the recession in 2008). The TAMI sector’s leasing activity ~~led the New York City market, accounting for 31.3% of 2017’s volume. The FIRE sector was second in leasing activity, accounting for 29.4% of 2017’s volume.~~

Manhattan’s average office asking rents have increased 6.4% per annum since the trough of 2010, with average office asking rents of $76.06 per square foot at the end of the second quarter. These rents are still above the previous market peak of $72.17 per square foot in 2008 according to Newmark Grubb Knight Frank. The Manhattan office market leased approximately 8.7 million square feet in the second quarter ~~4.2% below~~of 2018, but recorded an overall vacancy rate of 9.2%, a 0.5% increase from the ~~10-year average and 8.4% lower than~~first quarter of 2018 due to the ~~9.5~~completion of Three World Trade Center, the first major office delivery of 2018 in Manhattan (brought approximately 1.6 million square feet ~~leased in~~of office space to the ~~first quarter.~~market). Manhattan’s vacancy rate decreased by 20 basis points in the second quarter to 9.2% and was the first time in three quarters for all three major sub-markets to post vacancy rates in the single digits. The second quarter ended with positive netnew leasing ~~absorption of approximately 1.9~~activity reached 9.3 million square feet, ~~year-to-date.~~

~~In terms of square footage,~~marking only the size of Manhattan’s office market is almost the size of the next five U.S. office markets combined. We believe the three main office submarkets within Manhattan (Midtown, Midtown South and Downtown) are dynamic and may operate independently. In 2016, tenants that relocated in New York City generally sought the highest quality buildings with the most efficient layouts, up-to-date infrastructure, the best available amenities and the best access to public transportation. In Midtown, there are at least 12 previously built Class A office buildings that already are, or in the next five years will become more than 75% vacant due to relocations west and south. Companies such as Time Warner, Conde Nast, L’Oréal and KKR are relinquishing contiguous blocks of space in prestigious buildings throughout Midtown’s more traditional submarkets and decamping to new product. Large blocks of previously constructed space in Midtown South and Downtown have been backfilled by Midtown tenants. Tenants that have relocated Downtown now typically pay rent in the $50 to $70 per square foot range as opposed to $70 to $100 per square foot in Midtown.

Midtown South continued to show strength with its desirable loft-style buildings, historic character and large floor-plates. The sub-market still has the lowest vacancy rate (7.5%) of any of the Manhattan submarkets and one of the lowest in the nation. FIRE sector and TAMI sector tenants have focused on Midtown South for its many side-core buildings that sometimes present better opportunities for open-seated floor plans versus Midtown’s center-core assets that may be more conducive towards large, private offices. Landlords targeting these tenants are adopting modern amenities aimed to please millennials, the core of the industry’s employment base.

~~We expect to see office inventory increase by approximately 15~~third time quarterly leasing exceeded 9.0 million square feet, ~~over~~and net absorption was 4.2 million square feet due to above-average leasing across all major sub-markets (source: Cushman & Wakefield Manhattan Marketbeat Q2 2018 Report).

However, we expect that this new supply will be ~~concentrated in Hudson Yards on~~absorbed by strong leasing activity, continued private sector job growth, the ~~far West Side~~creation of ~~Manhattan, at the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan and in a handful of other locations in Midtown. We believe the growth of~~new office-using jobs, as well as the conversion of obsolete ~~office~~ buildings to ~~other uses, will absorb this new supply. The conversion of obsolete office buildings in~~ alternate uses.

New York ~~City has been~~City’s multifamily market fundamentals include limited rental and sales inventory and low vacancies. Combined with a two-decade trend. As aging office space in New York City becomes competitively obsolete, it has been converted at a steady pace to alternative uses. Recent high-profile examples of the conversion trend can be found at the Crown Building on 57th Street and 5th Avenue, the Woolworth Building in Lower Manhattan, and throughout the portfolio of co-living companies such as WeLive, which by way of example, took 110 Wall Street and partially converted it into a co-living space in 2016.

We expect buildings that are amenity-laden and have modern infrastructures and/or hold a certain cache will continue to catch the attention of tenants. Following the same pattern as the last three quarters, Midtown once again led New York City leasing during the second quarter with 5.9 million square feet or 67.9% of total square footage leased during the second quarter. This is a 5.4% increase from last quarter’s 5.6 million square feet. We believe that Midtown buildings seeking to attract tenants over the next several years must be flexible and creative; the buildings will have to adapt to a changing world. Employment space has increased in density as the amount of square feet per employee is dropping for tenants across industries. Certain industries reserve more usable square feet to provide amenities to employees as a means of motivation.

We have observed building owners planning to market large amounts of available space in the coming years begin taking measures to reposition assets, renaming buildings, seeking non-traditional office occupying tenants, offering distinctive amenities, approving lobby renovations and/or infrastructure changes, as well as completely reimagining their structures.

~~Urban Suburban Markets~~

RXR has traditionally been a significant player in the New York City suburbs, and we continue to expect to find two main types of attractive investment opportunities in these markets. First, we expect that traditional residential and commercial suburban assets within transit oriented downtowns may see increased demand, as the broader economy recoversgrowing population and employment ~~improves resulting in~~base, these factors have increased upward pressure on rental rates and property values. According to Marcus & Millichap, high prices for single-family homes are driving the ~~growth~~vast majority of ~~small- and medium-sized service businesses inherent~~new households to such suburban markets. In addition, we expect that demand may increase as individuals and companies find themselves priced out of core New York City markets (and, potentially, certain outer borough locations), but continue to desire proximity to the many strengths of the metropolitan region. We believeopt for

~~that this trend could create a new “suburban moment” after several years of retrenchment. This dynamic would be created by~~rental housing; the ~~very success of~~overall vacancy rate in the New York City ~~in contrast~~area decreased slightly to ~~the last half-century when suburbs largely expanded as a result of urban dysfunction.~~

Second, we believe that a new type low-density suburban product may prove increasingly desirable to both young people, who seek an urban lifestyle yet appreciate the benefits of the suburbs, and retiring baby boomers, who no longer have the financial and physical wherewithal to maintain large suburban residences and who likely find car-dependent lifestyles more challenging. This product may additionally address a challenge RXR has observed is facing many suburban communities in a need to grow their tax bases to cover increasing legacy costs with limited land available for development.

~~New York Metropolitan Area Residential Market~~

According to Douglas Elliman’s second quarter 2017 Manhattan Sales and June 2017 Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens Rental reports, the Manhattan housing market showed more signs of improvement, with increased sales activity but softer conditions at the top of the rental market with the effective use of concessions by landlords to keep vacancy in control. The median sales price for existing properties increased 5.4% from the first quarter, while the median sales price for new development increased 22.5% from the first quarter. The resale market, which accounts for 82.4% of co-op and condominium sales, was a better indicator of the state of the market as legacy contracts for new developments continued to reflect the conditions of several years ago. The median rental price for existing properties increased 0.7% from May 2017 and there was a 10.6% increase in the number of new leases. Listing inventory declined slightly for the first time in 22 months but did not affect landlords’ use of concessions to protect their asking rents. As a result, net effective median rents decreased a nominal 0.1%2.2% in the second quarter of 2018. We believe tight vacancy will continue to persist given the peak in new supply in 2017, however individual sub-markets may experience temporary upticks in vacancy as newly built projects lease up. As the pace of construction and newly built projects subside, we believe high demand neighborhoods along commuter routes have the greatest potential for reacceleration of rent growth. These continued sound leasing fundamentals highlight the strength of New York City’s real estate market, which we expect will continue to outperform other major cities. We believe that these dynamics continue to create compelling investment and redevelopment opportunities for experienced and well-connected local owners and operators.

Following a historically weak investment sales market in 2017, Manhattan experienced a strong increase in investment sales totaling approximately $14.3 billion in the first half of 2018, a 42.4% increase from the first half of 2017 (source: Cushman & Wakefield), as sellers became increasingly willing to negotiate with buyers to reign in some of the bid/ask spread.

Private Equity & Debt Markets

Despite access to funding, the real estate private equity market faces challenges finding attractive investment opportunities. We believe this could benefit Manhattan investment sales; despite high prices, real estate funds have a combined $244.0 billion in capital to invest according to Preqin, putting heavy weight on new equity. As a result, we are beginning to see pension fund executives begin to decrease their return expectations for this asset class. Nevertheless, pension funds, endowments and other institutions have not lost their appetite for commercial property—allocations are still strong and there remains a robust demand for hard assets. In fact, according to a recent global institutional investor survey published by the European Association for Investors in Non-listed Real Estate Vehicles (INREV), Asian Association for Investors in Non-listed Real Estate Vehicles (ANREV) and Pension Real Estate Association (PREA) suggests continued positive sentiment toward real estate in general, and non-listed real estate in particular. According to the survey (published in January 2018), 56% of global investors plan to increase their exposure to real estate over the next 24 months (source: Property Funds World). We believe these dynamics continue to support robust pricing in Manhattan and the surrounding markets, and are contributing to the increased investment sales activity witnessed in 2018.

~~The amount of supply~~year (source: Commercial Mortgage Alert). Initial worries concerning new retention rules subsided and ~~construction at the ultra-luxury end~~market activity increased. Construction lending continues to ~~weigh~~be increasingly difficult in 2018 as banks struggle with post financial crisis-era regulatory requirements that generally have resulted in a more conservative lending posture, particularly with respect to condominium construction financing. The mentality of commercial banks has been to limit new construction loans to the best sponsors (who have a track record of successfully doing business), in the best locations, with a conservative loan structure. This has made it increasingly difficult for the run-of-the-mill borrower to obtain low interest rate financing at moderate leverage. The projects that are being financed by commercial banks are limited to those with proximity to a commuter train station providing easy access to New York City, high end finishes, luxury amenities and a walkable thriving downtown providing a diversified mix of restaurants, shops and bars.

Alternative lenders are moving to fill in the gap, providing financing options not offered by banks, albeit at a significant premium in pricing and generally with more recourse. Many alternative lenders now can lend on cash flowing assets, transitional assets and ground up construction. We have observed that most alternative lenders are targeting the value-add space but are still driven by credit metrics, and as a result, do not take abnormal credit risk. Given the market ~~as seen~~experience and depth of our Advisors Entities’ teams, we have the skill to evaluate credit differently by ~~a 6.2% year-over-year decrease in median rents for~~underwriting the ~~top 10% of luxury product.

In the interim, we will continue to actively manage our small, but high quality portfolio of investments in ~~order~~an effort to ~~diversify our~~preserve, protect and return stockholders’ capital and ~~enhance returns. We also believe that our targeted investment types are complementary~~ to each other due to their overlapping sources of investment opportunities, common reliance on CRE fundamentals and ability to apply similar portfolio management and servicing skills to maximize value and to protect shareholder capital.

We believe the combination of our Co-sponsors’ strengths will contribute to our performance. Our Advisor Entities will utilize the personnel, resources and capital of our Co-sponsors to select our investments and manage our day-to-day operations. We believe that we will benefit from our Advisor’s and Sub-advisor’s affiliation with our Co-sponsors given each Co-sponsor’s corporate, investment and operating platforms are well established with significant experience in CRE investing (including management of multiple public companies), allowing us to achieve our investment objectives and create stockholder value.

We expect to use the net proceeds from our continuous, public offering of a maximum of $2.0 billion in shares of common stock, in any combination of Class A Shares, Class T Shares, Class I Shares, and proceeds from other financing sources to carry out our primary business objectives of acquiring, originating and managing our investment portfolio.pay current income through cash distributions.

Financing Strategy

We intend to use asset-level financing as part of our investment strategy to prudently leverage our investments while managing refinancing and interest rate risk. Our Advisor Entities are responsible for managing such financing and interest rate risk on our behalf. Borrowing levels for commercial real estate investments may change depending upon the nature of the assets and the related financing. Our financing strategy for our real estate will typically be to use long-term, non-recourse mortgage loans. We intend to pursue a variety of financing arrangements such as mortgage notes, credit facilities, securitization financing transactions and other term borrowings. We may, as circumstances warrant, use prudent levels of recourse financing.

Although we will have a limitation on the maximum leverage for our portfolio, which approximates 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets (including cash and cash equivalents and excluding indirect leverage held through our unconsolidated joint venture investments), other than intangibles, before deducting loan loss reserves, other non-cash reserves and depreciation, we do not have a targeted debt-to-equity ratio on an asset-by-asset basis, as we believe the appropriate leverage for the particular assets we finance depends on the specific credit characteristics of each asset. We ~~will~~may use leverage for the sole purpose of financing our investments and diversifying our equity and we will not employ leverage to speculate on changes in interest rates. We also ~~will~~may seek assignable financing when available. ~~Once~~As of June 30, 2018, we ~~have~~had fully invested the proceeds of our Offering we expect that our financing may approximate 50% of the cost of our investments, excluding indirect leverage held through our unconsolidated joint venture investments, although it may exceed this level during our organization and ~~offering stage. As of June 30, 2017, we~~ had not incurred any leverage.

Our financing strategy for our debt and securities investments will be dependent on our ability to obtain match-funded borrowings at rates that provide a positive net spread, generally using credit facilities and securitization financing transactions.

Portfolio Management

Our Advisor Entities maintain a comprehensive portfolio management process that generally includes day-to-day oversight by the portfolio management and servicing team, regular management meetings and an exhaustive quarterly credit review process. These processes are designed to enable management to evaluate and proactively identify asset-specific credit issues and trends on a portfolio-wide basis. For our joint venture investments, we rely on affiliates of our Sub-advisor to provide certain asset management, property management and/or other services in managing our joint investments. Nevertheless, we cannot be certain that our Advisor Entities’ review will identify all issues within our portfolio due to, among other things, adverse economic conditions or events adversely affecting specific assets; therefore, potential future losses may also stem from investments that are not identified during these credit reviews. Our Advisor Entities, under the direction of the investment committee, use many methods to actively manage our asset base to preserve our income and capital. Credit risk management is the ability of our Advisor Entities to manage our assets in a manner that preserves principal/cost and income and minimizes credit losses that could decrease income and portfolio value. For real estate equity and CRE debt investments, frequent re-underwriting and dialogue with borrowers/partners and regular inspections of our collateral and owned properties have proven to be an effective process for identifying issues early. During the quarterly credit review, or more frequently as necessary, investments are put on highly-monitored status and identified for possible loan loss reserves/asset impairment, as appropriate, based upon several factors, including missed or late contractual payments, significant declines in collateral performance and other data which may indicate a potential issue in our ability to recover our invested capital from an investment. Our Advisor Entities use an experienced portfolio management and servicing team that monitors these factors on our behalf.

Our investments are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary, to assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our investments may be impaired or that its carrying value may not be recoverable. In conducting these reviews, we consider macroeconomic factors, including real estate sector conditions, together with asset and market specific circumstances among other factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require capital to fund our investment activities, operating activities and to make distributions. ~~We obtain~~Historically, we obtained the capital required to acquire and manage our CRE portfolio and conduct our operations from the proceeds of our ~~Offering and any future offerings we may conduct.~~Offering. We may access additional capital from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations. As of August ~~8, 2017,~~9, 2018, we had ~~$1.6~~$15.0 million of investable cash.

~~If we are unable to raise~~We raised substantially ~~more funds~~less than the maximum offering amount in our ~~Offering~~Offering. Because we raised substantially less than the ~~minimum~~maximum offering ~~requirement,~~amount, we ~~will make~~have made fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we ~~make~~have made and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we have certain fixed direct and indirect operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we ~~are~~were able to raise substantial funds in our Offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds ~~would increase~~increases our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions. As of June 30, 2018, we have only raised $40.7 million in the Offering and have only made three investments. The Primary Offering terminated on March 31, 2018 and the DRP terminated on April 2, 2018, after the issuance of shares with respect to distributions declared for March 2018. On February 2, 2018, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC for a follow-on offering of up to $200 million in shares. The follow-on offering has not yet been declared effective by the SEC and there can be no assurance that we will commence the follow-on offering or successfully sell the full number of shares registered.

We currently have no outstanding borrowings and no commitments from any lender to provide us with financing. Our charter limits us from incurring borrowings that would exceed 300% of our net assets. We cannot exceed this limit unless any excess in borrowing over such level is approved by a majority of our independent directors. We would need to disclose any such approval to our stockholders in our next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess. An approximation of this leverage calculation, excluding indirect leverage held through our unconsolidated joint venture investments, is 75% of our assets, other than intangibles, before deducting loan loss reserves, other non-cash reserves and depreciation. Once we have fully invested the proceeds of our Offering, we expect that our financing will not exceed 50% of the greater of the cost or fair value of our investments, excluding indirect leverage held through our unconsolidated joint venture investments, although it may exceed this level during our organization and offering stage.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we use our capital resources to make certain payments to our Advisor Entities and our Dealer Manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments ~~include~~included payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution fees and payments to our Dealer Manager and our Advisor Entities, or their affiliates, as applicable, for reimbursement of certain organization and offering costs. However, we will not be obligated to reimburse our Advisor Entities, or their affiliates, as applicable, to the extent that the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution fees and other organization and offering costs incurred by us exceed 15% of gross proceeds from our Offering. During our acquisition and development stage, weWe expect to make payments to our Advisor Entities, or their affiliates, as applicable, in connection with the management of our assets and costs incurred by our Advisor Entities in providing services to us.

We entered into advisory and sub-advisory agreements with our Advisor Entities, which have a one-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of our Advisor Entities and our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors. In February 2017, we entered into an amended and restated advisory agreement with our Advisor for a term ending June 30, 2017, which eliminates the acquisition fees payable to our Advisor Entities, eliminates the disposition fees payable to our Advisor Entities and reduces the monthly asset management fee payable to our Advisor Entities from one-twelfth of 1.25% to one-twelfth of 1.0%. On March 17, 2017, we entered into a second amended and restated sub-advisory agreement with our Sub-advisor for a term ending June 30, 2017, which reflected the amendments to the fees in the Amended Advisory Agreement. In June 2017, the Amended Advisory Agreement and the sub-advisory agreement were renewed for an additional one-year term commencing on June 30, 2017, with terms identical to those in effect through June 30, 2017.

~~We intend to elect~~elected to be taxed as a REIT and to operate as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to authorize and declare daily distributions and pay distributions on a monthly basis. We have not established a minimum distribution level.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we are not dependent on the use of any off-balance sheet financing arrangements for liquidity. We have made an investment in an unconsolidated venture.

Our exposure to loss is limited to the carrying value of our investment.

Related Party Arrangements

Advisor Entities

Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our Advisor Entities are responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying, acquiring, originating and asset managing investments on our behalf. Our Advisor Entities may delegate certain of their obligations to affiliated entities, which may be organized under the laws of the United States or foreign jurisdictions. References to the Advisor Entities include the Advisor Entities and any such affiliated entities. For such services, to the extent permitted by law and regulations, our Advisor Entities receive fees and reimbursements from us, of which our Sub-advisor generally receives 50% of all fees and up to 25% of all reimbursements. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, our Advisor may defer or waive fees in its discretion.

We entered into advisory and sub-advisory agreements with our Advisor Entities, which each have a one-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of our Advisor Entities and our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors.

From inception through February 2017, the Advisor Entities waived $0.1 million of acquisition fees.

Disposition Fee

In February 2017, the Amended Advisory Agreement eliminated the disposition fees payable to our Advisor Entities. Prior to that date, our Advisor Entities were entitled to receive a disposition fee equal to 2.0% of the contract sales price of each property sold and 1.0% of the contract sales price of each CRE debt investment sold or syndicated for substantial assistance in connection with the sale of investments and based on the services provided, as determined by our independent directors. From inception through February 2017, no disposition fees were incurred or paid.

Reimbursements to Advisor Entities

Operating Costs

Our Advisor Entities are entitled to receive reimbursement for direct and indirect operating costs incurred by our Advisor Entities in connection with administrative services provided to us. Our Advisor Entities allocate, in good faith, indirect costs to us related to our Advisor Entities and their affiliates’ employees, occupancy and other general and administrative costs and expenses in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the limitations contained in, the advisory agreement with our Advisor Entities. The indirect costs include our allocable share of our Advisor Entities compensation and benefit costs associated with dedicated or partially dedicated personnel who spend all or a portion of their time managing our affairs, based upon the percentage of time devoted by such personnel to our affairs. The indirect costs also include rental and occupancy, technology, office supplies, travel and entertainment and other general and administrative costs and expenses also allocated based on the percentage of time devoted by personnel to our affairs. However, there is no reimbursement for personnel costs related to executive officers (although there may be reimbursement for certain executive officers of our Advisor) and other personnel involved in activities for which our Advisor Entities receive an acquisition fee or a disposition fee. Our Advisor Entities allocate these costs to us relative to their and their affiliates’ other managed companies in good faith and have reviewed the allocation with our board of directors, including our independent directors. Our Advisor Entities update the board of directors on a quarterly basis of any material changes to the expense allocation and provide a detailed review to the board of directors, at least annually, and as otherwise requested by the board of directors. We reimburse our Advisor Entities quarterly for operating costs (including the asset management fee) based on a calculation for the four preceding fiscal quarters not to exceed the greater of: (i) 2.0% of our average invested assets; or (ii) 25.0% of our net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, loan losses or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period, or the 2%/25% Guidelines. Notwithstanding the above, we may reimburse our Advisor Entities for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. We calculate the expense reimbursement quarterly based upon the trailing twelve-month period.

In addition, we ~~pay~~paid our Dealer Manager a distribution fee of up to 1.0% annually of gross proceeds from the sale of Class T Shares issued in our Primary Offering, all of which ~~are~~were reallowed to participating broker-dealers.

OnFrom July 1, 2018 through August ~~1, 2017,~~9, 2018, we ~~through~~repurchased 34,801 shares for a ~~subsidiary~~total of $295,861 or a weighted average price of $8.49 per share under a share repurchase program, or our ~~operating partnership, completed~~Share Repurchase Program, that enables stockholders to sell their shares to us in certain circumstances, including death or a qualifying disability. We generally fund repurchase requests received during a quarter with proceeds set aside for that purpose which are not expected to exceed proceeds received from our DRP, but may fund additional repurchase requests with any available capital sources.

Repayments

In August 2018, we received $9.4 million related to the origination of a $12.0 million pari passu interest in a $20.0 million mezzanine loan, or the Jane Street Loan, secured by a pledge of an ownership interest in a luxury condominium development project located in the West Village of New York City. We completed the investment through a partnership with VAF III, which contributed the remaining $8.0 millionrepayment of the loan origination. The Jane Street Loan bears interest at a floating rate of 9.5% over the one-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR ceiling of 1.5%. The Jane Street Loan had a 1.0% origination fee and has an initial term of three years, with two one-year extension options availableTimes Square Loan.

Inflation

Some of our assets and liabilities may be exposed to inflation risk. We expect that substantially all of our leases will allow for annual rent increases based on the relevant consumer price index or other lease provisions and will include operating expense reimbursements. Such leases generally minimize the risks of inflation on our office, mixed-use and multifamily properties. ~~Interest~~Our CRE debt investments are interest rate sensitive in nature.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

We believe that FFO and MFFO, both of which are non-GAAP measures, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and of us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by NAREIT as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciable property, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment on depreciable property owned directly or indirectly and after adjustments for unconsolidated ventures.

Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under U.S. GAAP that have been put into effect since the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in the non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO. For instance, the accounting treatment for acquisition fees related to business combinations has changed from being capitalized to being expensed. Additionally, publicly registered, non-traded REITs are typically different from traded REITs because they generally have a limited life followed by a liquidity event or other targeted exit strategy. Non-traded REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation as compared to later years when the proceeds from their initial public offering have been fully invested and when they may seek to implement a liquidity event or other exit strategy. However, it is likely that we will make investments past the acquisition and development stage, albeit at a substantially lower pace.

Acquisition fees and expenses paid to third parties in connection with the origination and acquisition of debt investments are amortized over the life of the investment as an adjustment to interest income under U.S. GAAP and are therefore included in the computation of net income (loss) and income (loss) before equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated ventures and income tax benefit (expense), both of which are performance measures under U.S. GAAP. We adjust MFFO for the amortization of acquisition fees in the period when such amortization is recognized under U.S. GAAP. Acquisition ~~fees~~expenses are paid in cash that would otherwise be available to distribute to our stockholders. In the event that proceeds from our Offering are not sufficient to fund the payment or reimbursement of acquisition fees and expenses to our Advisor, such fees would be paid from other sources, including new financing, operating cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of investments or from other cash flow. We believe that acquisition ~~fees~~expenses incurred by us negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which such investments are originated or acquired by reducing cash flow and therefore the potential distributions to our stockholders. However, in general, we earn origination fees for debt investments from our borrowers in an amount equal to the acquisition fees paid to our Advisor, and as a result, the impact of acquisition fees to our operating performance and cash flow would be minimal.

Acquisition fees and expenses paid to third parties in connection with the acquisition of equity investments are generally considered expenses and are included in the determination of net income (loss) and income (loss) before equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated ventures and income tax benefit (expense), both of which are performance measures under U.S. GAAP. Such fees and expenses will not be reimbursed by ~~our Advisor or its affiliates and~~ third parties, and therefore, if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock to fund future acquisition fees and expenses, such fees and expenses will need to be paid from either additional debt, operating earnings, cash flow or net proceeds from the sale of investments or properties. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on future distributions to stockholders and cash flow generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property.

Due to certain of the unique features of publicly-registered, non-traded REITs, the IPA, an industry trade group, standardized a performance measure known as MFFO and recommends the use of MFFO for such REITs. Management believes MFFO is a useful performance measure to evaluate our business and further believes it is important to disclose MFFO in order to be consistent with the IPA recommendation and other non-traded REITs. MFFO that adjusts for items such as acquisition fees would only be comparable to non-traded REITs that have completed the majority of their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics as us. Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has approved the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate MFFO. In the future, the SEC or another regulatory body may decide to standardize permitted adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we may need to adjust our calculation and characterization of MFFO.

~~Table of Contents~~

MFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate our future operating performance once our organization and offering and acquisition and development stages are complete and is not intended to be used as a liquidity measure. Although management uses the MFFO metric to evaluate future operating performance, this metric excludes certain key operating items and other adjustments that may affect our overall operating performance. MFFO is not equivalent to net income (loss) as determined under U.S. GAAP. In addition, MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating NAV since an impairment is taken into account in determining NAV but not in determining MFFO.

We define MFFO in accordance with the concepts established by the IPA and adjust for certain items, such as accretion of a discount and amortization of a premium on borrowings and related deferred financing costs, as such adjustments are comparable to adjustments for debt investments and will be helpful in assessing our operating performance. We also adjust MFFO for the non-recurring impact of the non-cash effect of deferred income tax benefits or expenses, as applicable, as such items are not indicative of our operating performance. Similarly, we adjust for the non-cash effect of changes to fair value of unconsolidated ventures. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not calculate MFFO using the same method.

Table of Contents

MFFO is calculated using FFO. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s operating performance. The IPA’s definition of MFFO excludes from FFO the following items:

acquisition fees and expenses;

non-cash amounts related to straight-line rent and the amortization of above or below market and in-place intangible lease assets and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from an accrual basis of accounting under U.S. GAAP to a cash basis of accounting);

amortization of a premium and accretion of a discount on debt investments;

non-recurring impairment of real estate-related investments that meet the specified criteria identified in the rules and regulations of the SEC;

realized gains (losses) from the early extinguishment of debt;

realized gains (losses) on the extinguishment or sales of hedges, foreign exchange, securities and other derivative holdings except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our business;

unrealized gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on real estate securities, including CMBS and other securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives not deemed hedges and foreign exchange holdings;

unrealized gains (losses) from the consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;

adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; and

adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis as above.

Certain of the above adjustments are also made to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, such as for the amortization of a premium and accretion of a discount on debt and securities investments, amortization of fees, any unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives, securities or other investments, as well as other adjustments.

MFFO excludes non-recurring impairment of real estate-related investments. We assess the credit quality of our investments and adequacy of reserves/impairment on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary. Significant judgment is required in this analysis. With respect to debt investments, we consider the estimated net recoverable value of the loan as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the prospects for the borrower and the competitive situation of the region where the borrower does business. Fair value is typically estimated based on discounting expected future cash flow of the underlying collateral taking into consideration the discount rate, capitalization rate, occupancy, creditworthiness of major tenants and many other factors. This requires significant judgment and because it is based on projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amount ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. If the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral for the debt investment is less than its net carrying value, a loan loss reserve is recorded with a corresponding charge to provision for loan losses. With respect to a real estate investment, a property’s value is considered impaired if a triggering event is identified and our estimate of the aggregate future undiscounted cash flow to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. The value of our investments may be impaired and their carrying values may not be recoverable due to our limited life. Investors should note that while impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of MFFO, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flow and the relatively limited term of a non-traded REIT’s anticipated operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges through operational net revenues or cash flow prior to any liquidity event.

~~Table of Contents~~

We believe that MFFO is a useful non-GAAP measure for non-traded REITs. It is helpful to management and stockholders in assessing our future operating performance once our organization and offering and acquisition and development stages are complete, because it eliminates from net income non-cash fair value adjustments on our real estate securities and acquisition fees and expenses that are incurred as part of our investment activities. However, MFFO may not be a useful measure of our operating performance or as a comparable measure to other typical non-traded REITs if we do not continue to operate in a similar manner to other non-traded REITs, including if we were to extend our acquisition and development stage or if we determined not to pursue an exit strategy.

However, MFFO does have certain limitations. For instance, the effect of any amortization or accretion on debt investments originated or acquired at a premium or discount, respectively, is not reported in MFFO. In addition, realized gains (losses) from acquisitions and dispositions and other adjustments listed above are not reported in MFFO, even though such realized gains (losses) and other adjustments could affect our operating performance and cash available for distribution. Stockholders should note that

Table of Contents

any cash gains generated from the sale of investments would generally be used to fund new investments. Any mark-to-market or fair value adjustments may be based on many factors, including current operational or individual property issues or general market or overall industry conditions.

Neither FFO nor MFFO is equivalent to net income (loss) or cash flow provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the U.S. GAAP methodology in evaluating our operating performance. Neither FFO nor MFFO is necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Furthermore, neither FFO nor MFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to FFO and MFFO attributable to common stockholders:

Distributions Declared and Paid

We generally pay distributions on a monthly basis based on daily record dates. From May 16, 2016 through ~~June~~September 30, 2017, we paid an annualized distribution amount of $0.10 per share of our common stock (not adjusted for the retroactive impact of the stock distributions issued in January and May 2017). From October 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, we paid an annualized distribution amount of $0.275 per share of our common stock. Distributions are generally paid to stockholders on the first business day of the month following the month for which the distribution has accrued.

Excluding the effect of the unrealized gain described in footnote (2) above, the distributions declared and paid for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were paid from offering proceeds received from Colony NorthStar and RXR pursuant to our Distribution Support Agreement and other offering proceeds totaling $12,997 and $50,437, respectively, and $16,085 and $7,842, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2016.

~~Distributions in excess~~

Table of ~~our cash flow provided by operations were paid using Offering proceeds related to distribution support and other offering proceeds.~~ Contents

Over the long-term, we expect that our distributions will be paid entirely from cash flow provided by operations. However, our operating performance cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including our ability to raise and invest capital at favorable yields, the financial performance of our investments in the current real estate and financial environment, the type and mix of our investments and accounting of our investments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Future distributions declared and paid may exceed cash flow provided by operations. To the extent distributions are paid from sources other than FFO, the ownership interest of our public stockholders will be diluted. Distributions in excess of our cash flow provided by operations will be paid using Offering proceeds related to distribution support and other offering proceeds.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We will be primarily subject to interest rate risk, credit spread risk and credit risk. These risks will be dependent on various factors beyond our control, including monetary and fiscal policies, domestic and international economic conditions and political considerations. Our market risk sensitive assets, liabilities and related derivative positions will be held for investment and not for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We may be exposed to changes in interest income from our ~~investment~~investments in real estate debt. Our CRE debt ~~investment bears~~investments bear interest at a floating ~~rate.~~rates. The interest ~~rate~~rates on our floating-rate ~~asset is a~~assets are fixed ~~spread~~spreads over the one-month LIBOR and ~~reprices~~reprice every 30 days based on LIBOR in effect at the time. Given the frequent and periodic repricing of our floating-rate ~~asset,~~assets, changes in benchmark interest rates are unlikely to materially affect the value of our floating-rate portfolio. Changes in short-term rates will, however, affect income from our ~~investment.~~investments. As of June 30, 2018, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates (including the effect of the interest rate ceiling) would increase income by $150,000 annually.

Credit Spread Risk

The value of our floating-rate ~~investment~~investments also changes with market credit spreads. This means that when market-demanded risk premium, or credit spread, increases, the value of our floating-rate ~~asset~~assets decreases and vice versa. The floating-rate CRE debt ~~investment is~~investments are valued based on a market credit spread over the applicable LIBOR. Demand for a higher yield on investments results in higher or “wider” spread over the benchmark rate (usually the applicable U.S. Treasury yield) to value these assets. Under these conditions, the value of our portfolio should decrease. Conversely, if the spread used to value ~~this asset~~these assets were to decrease or “tighten,” the value of ~~this asset~~these assets should increase.

Credit Risk

Credit risk in our CRE debt investments relates to each individual borrower’s ability to make required interest and principal payments on scheduled due dates. We seek to manage credit risk through our Advisor Entities’ comprehensive credit analysis

Our analysis is based on a broad range of real estate, financial, economic and borrower-related factors which we believe are critical to the evaluation of credit risk inherent in a transaction. ~~For the six months ended~~As of June 30, ~~2016,~~2018, we had only two debt investments, which contributed 100% of our interest income. Given our limited number of investments, we have significant exposure to the credit risk of each of the borrowers underlying our debt investments. In August 2018, one of our debt ~~investment contributed more than 10%~~investments was repaid in full. Refer to Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of ~~interest income.~~Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments” for further discussion.

We are subject to the credit risk of the borrower when we make CRE debt investments. We undertake a rigorous credit evaluation of each borrower prior to making an investment. This analysis includes an extensive due diligence investigation of the borrower’s creditworthiness and business as well as an assessment of the strategic importance of the underlying real estate to the borrower’s core business operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The management of the Company established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management conducted an evaluation as required under Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer

Table of Contents

and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).

Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We may be involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although we are unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, in the opinion of management, there are no legal proceedings that are currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, as filed with the SEC on March ~~21, 2017,~~20, 2018, except as noted below.

~~We have paid and may continue to~~

If we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow ~~from~~provided by operations, ~~including from offering proceeds, and as a result~~ we will have less cash available for investments and your overall return may be reduced.

Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions to our stockholders from any source, including offering proceeds, borrowings, our ~~advisor’s~~Advisor’s or ~~sub-advisor’s~~Sub-advisor’s agreement to defer, reduce or waive fees (or accept, in lieu of cash, shares of our common stock) or sales of assets or we may make distributions in the form of taxable stock dividends. We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds we may use to fund distributions. We have funded our cash distributions paid to date using net proceeds from our offering and we may continue to do so in the future. Until the proceeds from our offering are fully invested and otherwise during the course of our existence, we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund distributions. We began generating cash flow from operations on May 20, 2016, the date of our first investment. However, in the earlier part of this offering, we expect that all of our distributions will be paid from the proceeds from this offering, including the proceeds from the purchase of shares by Colony NorthStar and RXR pursuant to the distribution support agreement. For the period from inception through June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we declared distributions of ~~$87,361,~~$946,977, of which ~~100%~~5% were paid using proceeds from ~~this offering,~~the Offering, including the purchase of additional shares by Colony ~~NorthStar~~Capital and RXR.

Pursuant to a distribution support agreement, in certain circumstances where our cash distributions exceed our MFFO, NorthStar Realty and RXR have agreed to purchase up to $10.0 million of shares of Class A Shares at $9.10 per share (which includes $2.0 million of Class A Shares purchased by NorthStar Realty and RXR to satisfy the minimum offering amount) to provide additional cash to support distributions to our stockholders. As our distribution support agreement has now been terminated, we may not have sufficient cash available to pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, including offering proceeds, and as a result we will have less cash available for investments, we may have to reduce our distribution rate, our net asset value may be negatively impacted and your overall return may be reduced.

Our stockholders are limited in their ability to sell their shares of common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. Our stockholders may not be able to sell any of their shares of common stock back to us and if they do sell their shares, they may not receive the price they paid upon subscription.

Our share repurchase program may provide our stockholders with an opportunity to have their shares of common stock repurchased by us after they have held them for one year. We anticipate that shares of our common stock may be repurchased on a quarterly basis. However, our share repurchase program contains certain restrictions and limitations, including those relating to the number of shares of our common stock that we can repurchase at any given time and limiting the repurchase price. Specifically, we presently intend to limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to no more than: (i) 5% of the weighted average of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year; and (ii) those that could be funded from the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our DRP in the prior calendar year plus such additional cash as may be borrowed or reserved for that purpose by our board of directors. In addition, our board of directors reserves the right to reject any repurchase request for any reason or no reason or to amend or terminate our share repurchase program at any time upon ten days’ notice except that changes in the number of shares that can be repurchased during any calendar year will only take effect upon ten business days prior written notice. Therefore, our stockholders may not have the opportunity to make a repurchase request prior to a potential termination of our share repurchase program and our stockholders may not be able to sell any of their shares of common stock back to us pursuant to our share repurchase program. In addition, as we consider strategic alternatives in order to maximize value for our stockholders, our stockholders should be aware of the possibility that the amount they may receive if their shares of our common stock are redeemed may be higher or lower than the amount they may receive if our consideration of strategic alternatives results in our pursuit of a liquidity event. However, even if we ultimately determine to pursue a liquidity event, there is no set timetable for the execution of such an event.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

OnDuring the three months ended June ~~23, 2017,~~30, 2018, we granted each of our independent directors 2,500 shares of Class A restricted common stock, with an aggregate value of $75,833, in connection with the re-election of such directors to our board of directors. All sharesdid not issue any equity securities that were issued pursuant to our independent directors’ compensation plan and generally vest quarterly over two years; provided, however, that the restricted stock will become fully vested on the earlier occurrence of: (i) the termination of the independent director’s service as a director due to his or her death or disability; or (ii) a change in our control. These shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registrationnot registered under ~~Section 4(a)(2) of~~ the Securities ~~Act for transactions not involving a public offering.~~

Act. All prior sales of unregistered securities have been previously reported on quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K.

~~Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities~~

~~During the period covered by the Form 10-Q, we did not issue any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act.~~

Our registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-200617), covering our Offering of up to $1.8 billion in shares of common stock offered pursuant to our Primary Offering and up to $200.0 million in shares of common stock offered pursuant to our DRP was declared effective under the Securities Act on February 9, 2015. We commenced our Offering on the same date and retained NorthStar Securities to serve as our dealer manager of the Offering.

Our shares of common stock are being offered in any combination of the three classes of shares of our common stock: Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

We adopted our Share Repurchase Program effective February 9, 2015, which may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances. We may not repurchase shares unless a stockholder has held shares for at least one year. However, we may repurchase shares held for less than one year in connection with a stockholder’s death or qualifying disability, if the disability is deemed qualifying by our board of directors in their sole discretion and after receiving written notice from the stockholder or the stockholder’s estate. We are not obligated to repurchase shares pursuant to our Share Repurchase Program. We fund repurchase requests received during a quarter with proceeds set aside for that purpose which are not expected to exceed proceeds received from our DRP. However, to the extent that the aggregate DRP proceeds are not sufficient to fund repurchase requests, our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, choose to use other sources of funds. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate our Share Repurchase Program at any time upon ten days’ notice, except that changes in the number of shares that can be repurchased during any calendar year will take effect only upon ten business days’ prior written notice. We may provide written notice by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the ~~SEC and, if we are still engaged in our Offering, we may also provide a notice in a supplement to the prospectus or Post-Effective Amendment filed with the~~ SEC. In addition, our Share Repurchase Program will terminate in the event a secondary market develops for our shares or until our shares are listed on a national exchange or included for quotation in a national securities market.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased shares of our common stock as follows:



Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plan or Program	Maximum Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plan or Program
