Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, and in the opinion of management, include all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring items, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 20212022 and for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed from this report pursuant to the rules of the SEC. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the related notes thereto, that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20202021 as filed with the SEC. The year-end balance sheet was derived from those audited financial statements.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparationaccompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company's subsidiaries and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates all entities in which it has a controlling financial statementsinterest through majority ownership or voting rights and variable interest entities whereby the Company is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in conformity with GAAP requires managementa partially owned entity and the requirement to make estimatesconsolidate the accounts of that entity, the Company considers whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and assumptionswhether it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE when it has (i) the power to direct the most significant activities impacting the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits significant to the VIE. Entities that affect
8


do not qualify as VIEs are generally considered voting interest entities (“VOEs”) and are evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model. VOEs are consolidated when the Company controls the entity through a majority voting interest or other means. When the requirements for consolidation are not met and the Company has significant influence over the operations of the entity, the investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments for which the Company has not elected a fair value option (“FVO”) are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s pro-rata share of net income, contributions and distributions. When the Company elects the FVO, the Company records its share of net asset value of the entity and any related unrealized gains and losses.
The Company holds interest in a joint venture that is considered to be a VIE. The Company consolidated this entity because it has the ability to direct the most significant activities of the joint venture, including unilateral decision making on the disposition of the investment.

For select joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of each joint venture is included in noncontrolling interests as equity of the Company. The non-controlling partner’s interest is generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage. Certain of the joint ventures formed by the Company provide the other partner a profits interest based on certain internal rate of return hurdles being achieved. Any profits interest due to the other partner is reported amountswithin redeemable non-controlling interests.

As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the total assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differCompany’s consolidated VIE were $59.5 million and $30.0 million, and $53.5 million and $29.7 million, respectively. Such amounts are included on the Company’ Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has limited contractual rights to obtain the financial records of its consolidated single family housing portfolio from those estimates.the operating partner. The operating partner does not prepare separate GAAP financial statements; therefore, the Company compiles GAAP financial information for them based on reports prepared by and received from the operating partner. Such reports are not available to the Company until approximately 25 days after the end of any given period. As a result, single-family rental activities are generally included in the Company's consolidated financial statements on a one month lag; however, any significant activity that occurs in the final month of the quarter is recorded in that period.

Investments in Real Estate

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, the Company determines whether the acquisition of a property qualifies as a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the property acquired is not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as an asset acquisition. All property acquisitions to date have been accounted for as asset acquisitions.
Whether the acquisition of a property acquired is considered a business combination or asset acquisition, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that will be considered business combinations, the Company will evaluate the existence of goodwill or

a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company would expenseexpenses acquisition-related costs associated with business combinations as they are incurred. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisitions.
Upon acquisition of a property, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities) and allocates the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company assesses and considers fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates that it deems appropriate, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends and market and economic conditions.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The Company also considers an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including but not limited to the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenants’ credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. Based on its acquisitions to date, the Company’s allocation to customer relationship intangible assets has not been material.
The Company records acquired above-market and below-market leases at their fair values (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-marketbelow-

market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
Intangible assets and intangible liabilities are recorded as separate components on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amortization of acquired above-market and below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to Rental Revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amortization of in-place leases is recorded as an adjustment to Depreciation and Amortization on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the Company’s properties and any acquisition-related adjustments, along with any subsequent improvements to such properties. The Company’s Investments in Real Estate are stated at cost and are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
DescriptionDepreciable Life
Building40 years
Building, land and site improvements15-40 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment3-7 years
Lease intangiblesOver lease term
Significant improvements to properties are capitalized. When assets are sold or retired, their costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts with the resulting gains or losses reflected in net income or loss for the period.
Repairs and maintenance are expensed to operations as incurred and are included in Rental Property Operating on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company’s management reviews its real estate properties for impairment each quarter or when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impaired value. If the carrying amount of the real estate investment is no longer recoverable and exceeds the fair value of such investment, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value, or fair value, less cost to sell if classified as held for sale. If the Company’s strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material to the Company’s results. If the Company determines that an impairment has occurred, the

affected assets must beare reduced to their fair value or fair value, less cost to sell if classified as held for sale. During the periods presented, no such impairment occurred.
Impact of COVID-19 – Impairment Analysis
If the effects of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic cause economic and market conditions to deteriorate or if the Company’s expected holding period for assets changes, subsequent tests for impairment could result in impairment charges in the future. The Company can provide no assurance that material impairment charges with respect to the Company’s investments in real estate will not occur during the remaining quarters in 2021 or future periods. Accordingly, the Company will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods to determine whether any impairment charges are warranted.
As of March 31, 2021, we had not recorded an impairment on any investments in our real estate portfolio. Despite revisions to future cash flows as a result of the anticipated impacts of COVID-19, as of March 31, 2021, the undiscounted cash flows of our real estate investments exceeded carrying value. Due to the rapidly evolving environment, we will continue to evaluate the feasibility of our cash flow assumptions, which may result in impairments to certain of our investments in future periods.
Investments in Real Estate-Related Securities
The Company reports its investment in real estate-related securities at fair value and any changes in fair value are recorded in the current period earnings. Dividend income is recorded when declared and the resulting dividend income, along with gains and losses are recorded as a component of Realized and Unrealized Income (Loss) from Real Estate-Related Securities on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investments in Real Estate Debt
The Company’s investments in real estate debt consists of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). The Company classifies the securities as trading securities and records such investments at fair value. As such, the resulting unrealized gains and losses of such securities are recorded as a component of income (loss) from investments in real estate debt on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Interest income from the Company’s investments in CMBS is recognized over the life of each investment and is recorded on the accrual basis on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investments in International Affiliated Funds
The Company reports its investment in European Cities Partnership SCSp (“ECF”) and Asia Pacific Cities Fund (“APCF”), investment funds managed by an affiliate of TIAA (collectively, the “International Affiliated Funds”), under the equity method
10


of accounting as it has significant influence over these investments. The equity method income (loss) from the investments in the International Affiliated Funds represents the Company’s allocable share of each fund’s net income or loss, which includes income and expense, realized gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation as determined from the financial statements of ECF and APCF (which carry investments at fair value in accordance with the applicable GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and is reported as (Loss) Income (Loss) from Equity Investment in Unconsolidated International Affiliated Funds on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
All contributions to or distributions from the investment in the International Affiliated Funds are accrued when notice is received and recorded as a receivable from or payable to the International Affiliated Funds on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Investment in Commercial Mortgage LoanLoans
The Company has originated its firstmultiple commercial mortgage loan in March 2019loans and elected the fair value option.option for each. In accordance with the adoption of the fair value option allowed under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, and at the election of the Company, the commercial mortgage loan wasloans were stated at fair value and waswere initially valued at the face amount of the loan funding. Subsequently, the commercial mortgage loan wasloans were valued at least quarterly by an independent third-party valuation firm with additional oversight being performed by the Advisor’s internal valuation department. The value was based on market factors, such as market interest rates and spreads for comparable loans, the performance of the underlying collateral (such as the loan-to-value ratio and the cash flow of the underlying collateral), and the credit quality of the borrower.
Changes in fair value are recorded in the current period earnings and are a component of Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Commercial Mortgage Loan on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income earnedThe income from the commercial mortgage loanloans represents interest income and origination fee income, which is reported as Incomeincome from Commercial Mortgage Loancommercial mortgage loan on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Commercial Mortgage Loan on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In the event of a partial or whole sale of the commercial mortgage loan that qualifies for sale accounting under GAAP, the Company derecognizes the corresponding asset and fees paid as part of the partial or whole sale are recognized as expense in General and Administrative expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Senior Loan Participations

9

TableIn certain instances, the Company finances loans through the non-recourse syndication of contents
a senior loan interest to a third party. Depending on the particular structure of the syndication, the senior loan interest may remain on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet or, in other cases, the sale will be recognized and the senior loan interest will no longer be included in consolidated financial statements. When these sales do not qualify for sale accounting under GAAP, the Company reflects the transaction by recording a loan participations liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, however this gross presentation does not impact Stockholders’ Equity or Net Income. When the sales are recognized, the Consolidated Balance Sheet only includes the remaining subordinate loan and not the non-consolidated senior interest sold.
Deferred Charges
The Company's deferred charges include financing and leasing costs. Financing costs include legal, structuring, and other loan costs incurred by the Company for its financing arrangements. Deferred financing costs related to the Credit Facility (as defined herein) are recorded as a component of Other Assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Credit Facility, which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized costs are charged to interest expense upon early repayment or significant modification of the Credit Facility and fully amortized deferred financing costs are removed from the books upon the maturity of the Credit Facility. Deferred financing costs related to the Company’s mortgage payable are recorded as an offset to the related liability and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the financing instrument, which approximates the effective interest method. Deferred leasing costs incurred in connection with new leases, which consist primarily of brokerage and legal fees, are recorded as a component of Investments in Real Estate, Net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized over the life of the related lease.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires
11


an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.
Level 2—quoted prices are available in markets that are not active or model inputs are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.
Level 3—pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is minimal, if any, market activity for the investment. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management or third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed.
Investments in real estate-related securities are recorded at fair value based on the closing price of the common stock as reported by the applicable national securities exchange and were classified as Level 1.
The Company’s investments in real estate debt are reported at fair value. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s investments in real estate debt consisted of CMBS, which are securities backed by one or more mortgage loans secured by real estate assets. The Company generally determines the fair value of its investments in real estate debt by utilizing third-party pricing service providers whenever available and has classified as Level 2.
The Company’s investment in commercial mortgage loans consists of floating rate senior and mezzanine loans the Company originated and has classified as Level 3. The commercial mortgage loans are carried at fair value based on significant unobservable inputs.
The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities and market rates of interest of these instruments.

Additionally, the Company considers current market rates and conditions by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company's indebtedness are considered Level 3.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s sources of revenue arising from leasing arrangements and the related revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Rental revenue — consists primarily of base rent arising from tenant operating leases at the Company’s office, industrial, multifamily, retail, healthcare and healthcaresingle family housing properties. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, including any rent steps or abatement provisions. The Company begins to recognize revenue when a tenant takes possession of the leased space. The Company includes its tenant reimbursement income in rental revenue that consists of amounts due from tenants for costs related to common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs as defined in lease agreements.

Income from Commercial Mortgage Loan — consists of income from interest earned and recognized as operating income based upon the principal amount outstanding and the contracted interest rate along with origination fees. The accrual of interest income on mortgage loans is discontinued when in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due (“nonaccrual mortgage loans”), unless the loan is well-secured and is in the process of collection. Interest income on nonaccrual mortgage loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received until the loans are returned to accrual status. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company did not have any mortgage loans on nonaccrual status.
Leases
The Company derives revenue pursuant to lease agreements. At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the lease inception, the Company determines whether each lease is a sales-type, direct financing or operating lease. Such classification is based on whether:
13


The lessee gains control of the underlying asset and the lessor therefore relinquishes control to the lessee under certain criteria (sales-type or direct-financing); or
All other leases that do not meet the criteria as sales-type or direct financing leases (operating).

The Company's leases are classified as operating leases in accordance with relevant accounting guidelines, and the related revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis. Upon the termination or vacation of a tenant lease, the associated straight-line rent receivable is written off.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in banks, cash on hand and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, the Company deposits its cash with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk.
Restricted Cash
As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had $156.6 million of restricted cash. The restricted cash consisted of $52.0$0.5 million of tenant security deposits and $156.1 million of cash received for subscriptions prior to the date in which the subscriptions are effective, which is held in a bank account controlled by the Company’s transfer agent, but in the name of the Company.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2018 and intends to operate in a manner that will allow it to continue to qualify as a REIT. In qualifying for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes annually at least 90% of its taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains) to its stockholders.shareholders. A REIT is subject to U.S. federal income tax on undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gains, and may be subject to 21% corporate income tax and a 4% excise tax. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even in qualifying for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company may elect to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). In general, a TRS may perform additional services for the Company’s tenants and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business other than management or operation of a lodging facility or a health care facility. A domestic TRS is subject to U.S.US corporate federal corporate income tax. The Cayman Islands TRSs are not subject to US corporate federal corporate income tax or Cayman Islands taxes. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had 3 active TRSs: the Company uses two Cayman Islands TRSs to hold its investments in the International Affiliated Funds and used one domestic TRS to hold the senior portion of the commercial mortgage loan, whichloans. No income tax provision was included in the consolidated financial statements.

Tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the TCJA reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. Federal legislation intended to ameliorate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), was enacted on March 27, 2020, which, among other things, makesmade technical corrections to, or modifies on a temporary basis, certain of the provisions of the TCJA.

Table of contents
Management has evaluated the effects of TCJA, as modified by the CARES Act, and concluded that the TCJA will not materially impact its consolidated financial statements. The Company also estimates that the taxes on foreign-sourced earnings imposed under the TCJA are not likely to apply to its foreign investments.
Organization and Offering Expenses

The Company will
14


reimburse the Advisor for all such advanced expenses it incurred in 60 equal monthly installments commencing on the earlier of the date the Company'sCompany’s NAV reaches $1.0 billion or January 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and offering expenses on the Company’s behalf for the Initial Public Offering of $4.6 million, consisting of offering costs of $3.5 million and organization costs of $1.1 million. These organization and offering costs are recorded as Due to Affiliates on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.
Offering costs are currently charged to equity as such amounts are incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020,2022, the Company charged $0.1 million and $0.2 million respectively, in offering costs to equity.
Foreign Currency
The financial position and results of operations of ECF is measured using the local currency (Euro) as the functional currency and are translated into U.S. dollars for purposes of recording the related activity under the equity method of accounting. Net income (loss), which includes the Company’s allocable share of ECF's income and expense, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation, has been translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investments. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in other comprehensive losses of approximately $1.3$2.0 million and $0.5$1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively.
The financial position and results of operations of APCF is measured in U.S. dollars for purposes of recording the related activity under the equity method of accounting. There is no direct foreign currency exposure to the Company for its investment in APCF.
Earnings per Share
Basic net income/(loss) per share of common stock is determined by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All classes of common stock are allocated net income/(loss) at the same rate per share. The Company does not have any dilutive securities outstanding that would cause basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share to differ.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Pending Adoption:
In March 2020,July 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2021-05—Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments (“ASU 2021-05”). The amendments in ASU 2021-05 amend the lease classification requirements for lessors to align them with practice under Topic 840. Lessors should classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease if certain criteria are met. When a lease is classified as operating, the lessor does not recognize a net investment in the lease, does not derecognize the underlying asset, and, therefore, does not recognize a selling profit or loss. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, for all entities, and interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. Management has adopted the guidance and it did not have a material impact to the financial statements.
In April 2020, the FASB staff released guidance focused on treatment of concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 on the application of lease modification guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, “Leases.” The guidance provides a practical expedient to forgo the associated reassessments required by ASC 842 when changes to a lease result in similar or lower future consideration. There were no material exposures to rent concessions or lease defaults for tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as of March 31, 2022.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The expedients and exceptions are effective for the period from March 12, 2020 to December 31, 2022. Management is assessing the impact and currently does not expect the guidance to materially impact the Company.
The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.
15


The amendments in this ASU 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship.

Recently Adopted:
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, (“ASU 2019-12”). The guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 in order to reduce the cost and complexity of its application. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Management has assessed the impact of the guidance and has determined that the guidance currently does not have a material impact the Company.
In April 2020, the FASB staff released guidance focused on treatment of concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 on the application of lease modification guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, “Leases.” The guidance provides a practical expedient to forgo the associated reassessments required by ASC 842 when changes to a lease result in similar or lower future consideration. There were no material exposures to rent concessions or lease defaults for tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosures required for fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company concluded that the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, (“ASU 2016-13”). The guidance changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”) to clarify certain aspects of ASU 2016-13, including that operating lease receivables recorded by lessors are explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2016-13. The Company must apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company concluded that the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest, at Nuveen OP’s option, at either an adjusted base rate or an adjusted 30-day LIBOR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.30% to 1.90% for borrowings at the adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case, based on the total leverage ratio of Nuveen OP and its subsidiaries. Interest under the Credit Facility is determined based on a one-month U.S. dollar-denominated LIBOR, which was 0.1% and 1.8% as of MarchDecember 31, 2021.2020 and 2019, respectively. Loans under the Credit AgreementFacility will mature three years from October 24, 2018, with an option to extend twice for an additional year pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

On September 30, 2021, the borrower and the Company and Nuveen OP amended the Credit Agreement to increase the Credit Facility to $335.0 million in aggregate commitments, comprised of a $235.0 million revolving facility, and a senior delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million (the “DDTL Facility”). Loans under the DDTL Facility may be borrowed in up to 3 advances, each in a minimum amount of $30.0 million. The Credit Facility will terminate, and all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable in full, on September 30, 2024 (the “Revolving Termination Date”), with 2 additional one-year extension options held by Nuveen OP, including the payment of an extension fee of 0.125% of the aggregate commitment. The DDTL Facility will mature, and all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable in full, on September 30, 2026. Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest, at Nuveen OP’s option, at either an adjusted base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0.30% to 0.90% for Credit Facility borrowings for base rate loans, in each case, based on the total leverage ratio of the Nuveen OP and its subsidiaries. The applicable margin ranges from 1.30% to 1.90% for Credit Facility borrowings at the adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case, based on the total leverage ratio of the Nuveen OP and its subsidiaries.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority of the UK (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("ARRC") has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"(“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for
21


use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. The consequence of these developments cannot be entirely predicted but could include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness.

Note 12.13. Risks and Contingencies
The outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent global pandemic began significantly impacting the U.S. and global financial markets and economies during the first half of 2020. The worldwide spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty in the global economy. At this time, tenants have requested certain rent relief and lease modifications from this unprecedented event; however, such requests have not been significant as of March 31, 20212022 for the Company's direct real estate investments. Requests have generally been comprised of deferrals, with payments postponed for a brief period (i.e., less than twelve months) and then repaid over the remaining duration of the contract. As of March 31, 2021,During the prior year, the Company haspursued litigation with a tenant in lease default at one of its office properties in an effort to recover the outstanding balance due to the Company. A settlement agreement was reached between the Company and the tenant in default, and accordingly, the Company received $0.4 million in upfront settlement proceeds paid by the tenant, and is entitled to an additional $0.5 million to be received in 36 equal installments beginning September 1, 2021.
Except as described above, the Company does not hadhave any other material exposure to rent concessions, tenant defaults or loan defaults. The duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations, investments, and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.
Concentrations of risk may arise when a number of properties are located in a similar geographic region such that the economic conditions of that region could impact tenants’ obligations to meet their contractual obligations or cause the values of individual properties to decline. Additionally, concentrations of risk may arise if any one tenant comprises a significant amount of the Company's rent, or if tenants are concentrated in a particular industry.
As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had no significant concentrations of tenants, as no single tenant had annual contract rent that made up more than 4% of the rental income of the Company. There are no significant lease expirations scheduled to occur over the next twelve months. Based on its assessment, the Company has concluded that there is no impairment of its investments as of March 31, 2021.

2022.
The Company's investment in the International Affiliated Funds have been similarly and negatively impacted by COVID-19 in the foreign countries where their investments are located. The duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company will depend on future developments.
The Company's investments in real estate-related securities may also be negatively impacted by uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Market volatility and economic uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to fluctuations in market pricing, which has the ability to adversely impact the fair value of the Company’s investments in real estate-related securities. The duration and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company's investments in real estate-related securities cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings. In the normal course of business the Advisor, on behalf of the Company, enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Advisor expects the risk of loss to be remote.

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

The Company may choose to repurchase all, some or none of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased at the end of any particular month, in its discretion, subject to any limitations in the share repurchase plan. The total amount of aggregate repurchases of Class T, Class S, Class D, and Class I shares will be limited to 2% of the aggregate NAV per month and 5% of the aggregate NAV per calendar quarter. In addition, if during any consecutive 24-month period, the Company does not have at least one month in which the Company fully satisfies 100% of properly submitted repurchase requests or accepts all properly submitted tenders in a self-tender offer for the Company’s shares, the Company will not make any new investments (excluding short-term cash management investments under 30 days in duration)

and will use all available investable assets to satisfy repurchase requests (subject to the limitations under this program) until all outstanding repurchase requests have been satisfied. Shares would be repurchased at a price equal to the transaction price on the applicable repurchase date, subject to any early repurchase deduction. Shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year would be repurchased at 95% of the transaction price. Due to the illiquid nature of investments in real estate, the Company may not have sufficient liquid resources to fund repurchase requests and has established limitations on the amount of funds the Company may use for repurchases during any calendar month and quarter. Further, the Company’s board of directors may modify, suspend or terminate the share repurchase plan.

The Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests are recorded at the greater of (i) their carrying amount, adjusted for their share of the allocation of GAAP net income or loss and distributions, or (ii) their redemption value, which is equivalent to the fair value of such interests at the end of each measurement period. As the redemption value was greater than the adjusted carrying value as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an allocation adjustment between Additional Paid-In-Capital and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest. The balance was $0.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
References herein to “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Nuveen Global Cities REIT, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those in this discussion as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and objectives. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue” or other similar words. These statements include our plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds, and are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Assumptions relating to these statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to accurately predict and many of which are beyond our control.

COVID-19 Risks. In response to the novel coronavirus pandemic (commonly known as “COVID-19”), governmental authorities throughout the world, including the United States, have taken significant measures to inhibit the spread of the disease. The restrictions have had an adverse impact on economic and market conditions across the world. It is possible that public health officials and governmental authorities in the markets in which we have investments may impose or reinstate restrictions in an effort to further slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic or may relax or revoke existing restrictions too quickly, which could, in either case, exacerbate the severity of adverse impacts on the economy. Moreover, the market volatility and economic uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact our liquid investments, such as those in REIT securities, and our investments in the European Cities Partnership SCSp (“ECF”) and Asia Pacific Cities Fund (“APCF” and, collectively with ECF, the “International Affiliated Funds”), investment funds managed by an affiliate of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”) . These and other consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our Company’s business and results of operations.

Investments in Real Estate-Related Securities
As part of our investment strategy weWe invest in real estate-related securities including shares of common stock of publicly-tradedpublicly-listed REITs. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we had 92103 holdings and have invested $36.6$88.5 million in securities that are valued at $42.8$102.7 million.
Investments in Real Estate Debt
We invest in commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) to the extent permitted by the REIT rules. CMBS are securities that evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or pool of commercial mortgage loans. CMBS are generally pass-through and represent beneficial ownership interests in trusts whose assets consist of defined portfolios of one or more commercial mortgage loans. Losses are usually borne by the most subordinate class, which receive payments only after the senior classes have received payments they are entitled to. CMBS are subject to the risks of the underlying mortgage loans. The majority of these securities are back by a single loan (77%), and all securities are rated Investment Grade (BBB- or higher). The greatest concentration by property sector is in industrial properties. Additionally, to minimize interest rate risk, the portfolio is concentrated in floating-rate securities (85%) that had a purchase yield of 3.58% which is expected to increase as the base index rates (LIBOR and SOFR) increase. As of March 31, 2022, we have invested $60.1 million in CMBS that are valued at $59.4 million on the balance sheet.

Requestsprices overall. COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions have largely been removed. The U.S. real estate recovery is generally been comprised of deferrals,tracking with payments postponed forthe broader economic recovery; however, we expect certain regions, cities, and property types to continue to outperform and others to underperform. U.S. commercial real estate should benefit even during a brief period (i.e. less than 12 months) and then repaid over the remaining duration of the contract. As of March 31, 2021, we did not have material exposurerising interest rate environment, as real-estate assets will continue to rent concessions, tenant defaults or loan defaults. Our investmentsbe a higher-yielding alternative to fixed-income assets in the International Affiliated Funds may be similarly and negatively impacted by COVID-19 in the foreign countries where their investments are located. The duration and extent of COVID-19 over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts us will depend on future developments.short term.
Rental Revenues
We receive income primarily from rental revenue generated by the properties that we acquire. The amount of rental revenue depends upon a number of factors, including: our ability to enter into leases with increasing or market value rents for the properties that we acquire; and rent collection, which primarily relates to each future tenant’s financial condition and ability to make rent payments to us on time.
Competitive Environment
We face competition from a diverse mix of market participants, including but not limited to, other companies with similar business models, independent investors, hedge funds and other real estate investors. Competition from others may diminish our opportunities to acquire a desired property on favorable terms or at all. In addition, this competition may put pressure on us to reduce the rental rates below those that we expect to charge for the properties that we acquire, which would adversely affect our financial results.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses include general and administrative expenses, including legal, accounting, and other expenses related to corporate governance, public reporting and compliance with the various provisions of U.S. securities laws. As we have with the leases associated with our industrial, retail, office and healthcare properties, we generally expect to structure our leases so that the tenant is responsible for taxes, maintenance, insurance, and structural repairs with respect to the premises throughout the lease term. Increases or decreases in such operating expenses will impact our overall financial performance.
Our Qualification as a REIT
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2018. Shares of our common stock are subject to restrictions on ownership and transfer that are intended, among other purposes, to assist us in qualifying and maintaining our qualification as a REIT. In order for us to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), we are required to, among other things, distribute as dividends at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of our income and assets. In order to satisfy a requirement that five or fewer individuals do not own (or be treated as owning) more than 50% of our stock, subject to certain exceptions, no person or entity may own, or be deemed to own, by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of stock or more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding common stock.
Tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (the “TCJA”"TCJA") was enacted on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the TCJA reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. Federal legislation intended to ameliorate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), was enacted on March 27, 2020, which, among other things, makes technical corrections to, or modifies on a temporary basis, certain of the provisions of the TCJA. Management has evaluated the effects of TCJA, as modified by the CARES Act and concluded that the TCJA will not materially impact its consolidated financial statements. We also estimate that the taxes on foreign-sourced earnings imposed under the TCJA are not likely to apply to itsour foreign investments.
On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJA enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Although we believe that the impacts of the TCJA will be immaterial to our financial results, we continue to analyze certain aspects of the TCJA, therefore our estimates may change as additional information becomes available. Many of the provisions of the TCJA will require guidance through the issuance of Treasury regulations in order to assess their effect. There may be a substantial delay before such are promulgated, increasing the uncertainty as to the ultimate effect of the statutory amendments on us. It is also

likely that there will be technical corrections legislation proposed with respect to the TCJA this year, the effect of which cannot be predicted and may be adverse to us or our stockholders.

Rental Revenue and Rental Property Operating Expenses and Depreciation and Amortization
Due to acquisitions of real estate we have made since we commenced principal operations in December 2017,March 31, 2021, our revenues and operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021 are not comparable. However, certain properties in our portfolio were owned for both the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021 and are further discussed below in "Same Property Results of Operations."
Income from Commercial Mortgage LoanDepreciation and Amortization
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, income from our commercial mortgage loan decreased $0.22022, depreciation and amortization increased by $6.9 million in comparison to the corresponding period in 20202021 due to payoffacquisitions of the outstanding balance of the subordinate mortgage loan in full in November 2020 resulting in no income during the current quarter.real estate.
General and Administrative Expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, general and administrative expenses increased slightlyby $1.0 million in comparison to the corresponding periodperiods in 20202021 primarily due to a slightan increase in professionallegal and appraisal fees, incurred for legal services.fund administration, and a disposition fee associated with the sale of the senior portion of our commercial mortgage loan.
Advisory Fee Due to Affiliate
During the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, the advisory fee due to affiliate increased by $0.3$3.6 million as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 20202021 due to the growth of our NAV.

Depreciation and Amortization
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million compared to the corresponding period in 2020. The increase was driven by the growth in our portfolio, which increased from 12 properties as of March 31, 2020 to 18 properties as of March 31, 2021.
Realized and Unrealized Income (Loss) from Real Estate-Related Securities
Realized and unrealized income (loss) from real estate-related securities increased $10.5decreased $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared to the corresponding period in 2020.2021. The increase isdecrease was due to an overall market decline driven by the improvementuncertainty surrounding inflation, interest rates and geopolitics in market conditions as comparedEastern Europe.
Realized and Unrealized Loss from Real Estate Debt
Realized and unrealized loss from real estate debt was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to the prior year, when the emergence of COVID-19 adversely affected the value of our investment in real estate-related securities.recent allocations to CMBS.
Income from Equity Investment in Unconsolidated International Affiliated Funds
During the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, income from the International Affiliated Funds decreased by $1.0 millionincreased slightly as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2020.2021. The decreaseincrease was primarily due to valuation lossesgains on retail properties within our investment in ECF due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic.and APCF driven by improved market conditions.
Interest Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, interest expense decreased $0.3increased $1.8 million compared to the corresponding period in 20202021 due to repaymentsadditional borrowings on our Credit Facility and decreasing interest rates resulting fromMortgages Payables during the market instability associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.current year.
Same Property Results of Operations
We evaluate our consolidated results of operations on a same property basis, which allows us to analyze our property operating results excluding acquisitions during the periods under comparison. Properties in our portfolio are considered same property if they were owned for the full periods presented, otherwise they are considered non-same property. Newly acquired or recently developed properties that have not achieved stabilized occupancy are excluded from same property results and are considered non-same property. We do not consider our real estate-related securities and International Affiliated Funds segments to be same property.
For the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, our same property portfolio consisted of foursix industrial, two multifamily, two office, one retail and onethree healthcare property.properties.
Same property operating results are measured by calculating same property net operating income (“NOI”). Same property NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP disclosure of our operating results that we believe is meaningful as it enables management to evaluate the impact of occupancy, rents, leasing activity, and other controllable property operating results at our real estate properties. We define same property NOI as operating revenues less operating expenses, which exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense and other non-property related revenue and expense items such as (a) general and administrative expenses, (b) management fee, (c) interest income and (d) income from real estate-related securities.securities (e) income from equity investment in unconsolidated international affiliated funds, and (f) income from commercial mortgage loan.
Our same property NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs and should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate in evaluating our operating performance than the current GAAP methodology used in calculating net income (loss).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary needs for liquidity and capital resources are to fund our investments, make distributions to our stockholders, repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase plan, pay our offering and operating fees and expenses and pay interest on any outstanding indebtedness we may incur. We will obtain the funds required to purchase investments and conduct our operations from the net proceeds of the Offering and any future offerings we may conduct, from secured and unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from operations. Generally, cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions are expected to be met from operations and use of proceeds from our Credit Facility, and cash needs for asset acquisitions and loan originations are funded by public offerings of our common stock and debt financings. However, there may be a delay between the sale of our shares and our purchase of assets, which could result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders, if any, of returns generated from our investment operations. Our target leverage ratio is approximately 30% to 50% of our gross real estate assets (measured using the fair market value of gross real estate assets, including equity in our securities portfolio), including property and entity-level debt, but excluding debt on the securities portfolio, although it may exceed this level during our offering stage. Our charter restricts the amount of indebtedness we may incur to 300% of our net assets, which approximates 75% of the aggregate cost of our investments, but does not restrict the amount of indebtedness we may incur with respect to any single investment. However, we may borrow in excess of this amount if such excess is approved by a majority of our independent directors, and disclosed to stockholders in the next quarterly report, along with justification for such excess.
If we are unable to raise substantial funds we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.
Our operating expenses include, among other things, stockholder servicing fees we pay to the Dealer Manager, legal, audit and valuation expenses, federal and state filing fees, printing expenses, administrative fees, transfer agent fees, marketing and distribution expenses and fees related to acquiring, financing, appraising and managing our properties. We do not have any office or personnel expenses as we do not have any employees. We may reimburse the Advisor for certain out-of-pocket expenses in connection with our operations and we did not have any cost to reimburse for the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022. The Advisor has advanced all of our organization and offering expenses on our behalf (other than upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) through the first anniversary of the commencement of the Offering. These expenses include legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees and expenses, due diligence expenses of participating broker-dealers supported by detailed and itemized invoices, costs in connection with preparing sales materials, design and website expenses, fees and expenses of our transfer agent, fees to attend retail seminars sponsored by participating broker-dealers and reimbursements for customary travel, lodging, and meals, but exclude selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees. We will reimburse the Advisor for all such advanced expenses it incurred in 60 equal monthly installments commencing on the earlier of the date the Company's NAV reaches $1.0 billion or January 31, 2023. For purposes of calculating our NAV, the organization and offering expenses paid by the Advisor are not recognized as expenses or as a component of equity and will not be reflected in our NAV until we reimburse the Advisor for these costs.
As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and offering expenses on our behalf of $4.6 million. Organization costs of $1.1 million have been expensed as incurred and offering costs of $3.5 million are a

component of equity in the form of additional paid in capital. As of March 31, 2022, we have not reimbursed the Advisor for such costs.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2018 and intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to, among other things, distribute as dividends at least 90% of our REIT taxable

income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of our income and assets.
Credit Facility
On October 24, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit“Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lead arranger. The Credit Agreement initially provided for aggregate commitments of up to $60.0 million for unsecured revolving loans, with an accordion feature that may increase the aggregate commitments to up to $500.0 million (the "Credit Facility"“Credit Facility”). On December 17, 2018 and June 11, 2019, we amended the Credit Agreement to increase the Credit Facility to $150.0 million and $210.0 million in aggregate commitments, respectively, with all other terms remaining the same. Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at Nuveen OP’sour Operating Partnership’s option, at either an adjusted base rate or an adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")LIBOR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.30% to 1.90% for borrowings at the adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case, based on the total leverage ratio of Nuveen OPthe Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.
On September 30, 2021, we amended the Credit Agreement to increase the Credit Facility to $335.0 million in aggregate commitments, comprised of a $235.0 million revolving facility, and a senior delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million (the “DDTL Facility”). Loans under the DDTL Facility may be borrowed in up to three advances, each in a minimum amount of $30.0 million. The Credit Facility will terminate, and all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable in full, on September 30, 2024 (the “Revolving Termination Date”), with two additional one-year extension options held by Operating Partnership, including the payment of an extension fee of 0.125% of the aggregate commitment. The DDTL Facility will mature, and all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable in full, on September 30, 2026. Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Operating Partnership’s option, at either an adjusted base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0.30% to 0.90% for Credit Facility borrowings for base rate loans, in each case, based on the total leverage ratio of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. The applicable margin ranges from 1.30% to 1.90% for Credit Facility borrowings at the adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case, based on the total leverage ratio of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Loans outstanding under the CreditDDTL Facility will mature three yearsbear interest, at the Operating Partnership’s option, at either an adjusted base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin.

The applicable margin ranges from 1.25% to 1.85% for DDTL Facility borrowings at the adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case, based on the total leverage ratio of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. There is an unused fee of 0.15% if the usage is greater than or equal to 50% of the aggregate commitments and 0.25% of the usage is less than 50% of the aggregate commitments. There is a ticking fee on the DDTL Facility equal to 0.15% of the undisbursed portion of the DDTL Facility. An upfront fee of 40 basis points was payable at closing.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. The consequence of these developments cannot be entirely predicted but could include an increase in debt, derivatives, and the cost of our variable rate indebtedness.
As of March 31, 2021,2022, we had $94.3$270.0 million in borrowings and had outstanding accrued interest of $0.1$0.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in interest expense.expense on the Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2021,2022, we are in compliance with all loan covenants with respect to the Credit Agreement.
MortgageMortgages Payable
On November 8, 2019, we entered into a loan agreement ("Mortgage Payable"Main Street Loan") secured by Main Street at Kingwood with Nationwide Life Insurance Company ("Nationwide") as the lender. The Mortgage Payable provides for an aggregate principal

amount of $48.0 million and will mature on December 1, 2026. Interest is accrued on the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage PayableMain Street Loan at the rate of 3.15% per annum.
On May 13, 2021, we entered into an additional loan agreement secured by Tacara at Steiner Ranch (the "Tacara Loan") with Brighthouse Life Insurance as the lender. The Tacara Loan provides for an aggregate principal amount of $28.8 million and will mature on June 1, 2028. Interest is accrued on the unpaid principal balance of the Tacara Loan at the rate of 2.62% per annum.
On November 30, 2021, we entered into loan agreements secured by Signature at Hartwell (the “Hartwell Loans”, together with the Main Street Loan and Tacara Loan, the “Mortgages Payable”) with Allstate Insurance Company and American Heritage Life Insurance Company as the lenders. The Hartwell Loans provide for an aggregate principal amount of $29.5 million and mature on December 1, 2028. Interest is accrued on the unpaid principal balance of the Hartwell Loans at a rate of 3.01% per annum.

Cash flows provided by operating activities increased $1.9$17.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared to the corresponding period in 2020.2021. The increase was due to additional cash flows from the operations of our investments in real estate as a result of growth in the size of our portfolio.
Cash flows used in investing activities increased $2.5276.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared to the corresponding period in 20202021 due to a $12.5$125.2 million increase in fundings related to the acquisition of a real estate investment during the quarter, offset byinvestments, a decrease in fundings for our investments in the International Affiliated Fundsloan origination of $6.4$93.1 million, allocations to real estate debt of $45.9 million and a decreasean increase in net purchase and sale activity on our real-estate related securities of $2.6 million.$12.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
We believe funds from operations (“FFO”) is a meaningful supplemental non-GAAP operating metric, which should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income (loss) and cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating performance. Our consolidated financial statements are presented under historical cost accounting which, among other things, requires depreciation of real estate investments to be calculated on a straight-line basis. As a result, our operating results imply that the value of our real estate investments will decrease evenly over a set time period. However, we believe that the value of real estate investments will fluctuate over time based on market conditions and as such, depreciation under historical cost accounting may be less informative. FFO is a standard REIT industry metric defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).
FFO, as defined by NAREIT and presented below, is calculated as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable real property and impairment write-downs on depreciable real property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization.
47


We also believe that Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) is a meaningful supplemental non-GAAP disclosure of our operating results which should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income (loss) and cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating performance. AFFO further adjusts FFO in order for our operating results to reflect the specific characteristics of our business by adjusting for items we believe are not related to our core operations. Our adjustments to FFO to arrive to AFFO include straight-line rental income, amortization of above-and below-market lease intangibles, organization costs, unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value of real estate-related securities and real estate debt, amortization of restricted stock awards, unamortized origination fee related to the commercial mortgage loan, and unrealized loss (income)or income from investments in international affiliated funds. AFFO is not defined by NAREIT and our calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to the disclosures made by other REITs.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) under GAAP to FFO and to AFFO ($ in thousands):

FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income (loss) or in evaluating our operating performance. In addition, FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as indications of our performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as indications of our liquidity, but rather should be reviewed in conjunction with these and other GAAP measurements. Further, FFO and AFFO are not intended to be used as liquidity measures indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Distribution Policy
We intend to distribute sufficient income so that we satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders. Our distribution policy is set by our board of directors and is subject to change based on available cash flows. We cannot guarantee the amount of distributions paid, if any. Our stockholders will not be entitled to receive a distribution if the shares are repurchased prior to the applicable time of the record date. In connection with a distribution to our stockholders, our board of directors approves a quarterly distribution for a certain dollar

amount for each class of our common stock. We then calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the quarter using applicable record and declaration dates, and the distributions begin to accrue on the date we admit our stockholders.
We initially established monthly record dates for quarterly distributions to stockholders of record as of the last day of each applicable month typically payable within 30 days following month end. On January 17, 2020, our board of directors amended our distribution policy to reflect that we intend to pay distributions monthly rather than quarterly going forward, subject to the discretion of the board of directors. The net distribution varies for each class based on the applicable stockholder servicing fee, which is deducted from the monthly distribution per share and paid directly to the applicable distributor.
Distributions
Based on the monthly record dates established by the board of directors, we accrue for distribution on a monthly basis. WeAs of March 31, 2022, we accrued $2.3$6.8 million for March 20212022 in Distribution Payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we declared and paid distributions in the amount of $17.5 million and $6.3 million.million, respectively.
Beginning January 31, 2020, we declared monthly distributions for each class of our common stock which are generally paid within 30 days after month-end. We have paid distributions consecutively each month since such time.

Each class of our common stock received the same gross distribution per share, which was $0.1711$0.2077 per share for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022.

For purposes of NAV we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis as such fee is paid. Under GAAP, we accrue the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time we sell Class T, Class S and Class D shares. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we have accrued under GAAP approximately $6.4$30.2 million of stockholder servicing fees payable to the Dealer Manager related to the Class T, Class S and Class D shares sold.

(1)The Advisor and its affiliates agreed to advance organization and offering costs on our behalf through December 31, 2018 and had incurred organization and offering expenses of $4.6 million. Organization costs of $1.1 million are expensed and Offering costs of $3.5 million is a component of equity in the form of additional paid-in capital. For NAV, such costs will be recognized as a reduction to NAV as they are reimbursed over 60 months commencing on the earlier of the date the NAV reaches $1.0 billion or January 31, 2023.
(2) Accrued stockholder servicing fee represents the accrual for the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee for Class T, Class S, and Class D shares. Under GAAP, we accrue the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee payable over the life of each share (assuming such share remains outstanding the length of time required to pay the maximum stockholder servicing fee) as an offering cost at the time we sold the shares. For purposes of NAV, we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis as such fee is paid.
(3) Our investments in real estate are presented under historical cost in our GAAP consolidated financial statements. As such, any changes in the fair market value of our investments in real estate are not included in our GAAP results. For purposes of determining our NAV, our investments in real estate are recorded at fair value.
(4)    Our investments in mortgages payable are presented under historical cost in our GAAP consolidated financial statements. As such, any changes in the fair market value of our mortgages payable are not included in our GAAP results. For purposes of determining our NAV, our mortgages payable are recorded at fair value.
(5) In accordance with GAAP, we depreciate our investments in real estate and amortize certain other assets and liabilities. Such depreciation and amortization is not recorded for purposes of determining our NAV.
51


Limitations and Risks
As with any valuation methodology, our methodology is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a different NAV per share. Accordingly, with respect to our NAV per share, we can provide no assurance that:
(1)a stockholder would be able to realize this NAV per share upon attempting to resell his or her shares;
(2)we would be able to achieve, for our stockholders, the NAV per share, upon a listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, selling our real estate portfolio, or merging with another company; or
(3)the NAV per share, or the methodologies relied upon to estimate the NAV per share, will be found by any regulatory authority to comply with any regulatory requirements.
43

Table of contents
Furthermore, the NAV per share was calculated as of a particular point in time. The NAV per share will fluctuate over time in response to, among other things, changes in real estate market fundamentals, capital markets activities, and attributes specific to the properties and assets within our portfolio.
Critical Accounting PoliciesEstimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP involves significant judgements and assumptions and require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We consider our accounting policies over investments in real estate and revenue recognition to be our critical accounting policies.estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand our investment portfolio and operations. Market fluctuations in real estate financing may affect the availability and cost of funds needed to expand our investment portfolio. In addition, restrictions upon the availability of real estate financing or high interest rates for real estate loans could adversely affect our ability to dispose of real estate in the future. We seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. We
52


may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. Also, we are exposed to credit, market and currency risk.
Market Risk
Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. With regard to variable rate financing, we assess our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows
44

Table of contents
and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. While this hedging strategy is designed to minimize the impact on our net income and funds from operations from changes in interest rates, the overall returns on your investment may be reduced. Our board of directors has not yet established policies and procedures regarding our use of derivative financial instruments for hedging or other purposes. These risks have been heightened as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. We did not have derivatives as of March 31, 2021.2022.
Currency Risk
We may be exposed to currency risks related to our international investments, including our investments in the International Affiliated Funds. We may seek to manage or mitigate our risk to the exposure of the effects of currency changes through the use of a wide variety of derivative financial instruments. We did not have derivatives as of March 31, 2021.2022.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk with respect to our variable-rate indebtedness, whereas an increase in interest rates would directly result in higher interest expense costs. We may seek to manage or mitigate our risk to the exposure of interest risk through interest rate protection agreements to fix or cap a portion of our variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the outstanding principal balance of our variable rate indebtedness was $94.3$270.0 million and consisted of our Credit Facility, which is indexed to one-month U.S. Dollar-denominated LIBOR.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, a 10% increase in the one-month U.S denominated LIBOR would have resulted in increased interest expense of approximately $4,000. The fair market value of the Credit Facility is sensitive to changes in LIBOR. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, a 10% increase in the one-month U.S. denominated LIBOR would have resulted in increased interest expense of approximately $22,000. Similarly, due to the variable rate on our Credit Facility, a 100 basis point increase in LIBOR will reduce our net income by $0.3$0.6 million and a similar basis point decrease will increase our net income by $0.3$0.6 million.
COVID-19 Developments
In December 2019,As of March 31, 2022, the 7-day averages of COVID-19 cases and deaths are 111,400 and 1,900, respectively. These numbers are small fractions of their January 2021 highs, 256,000 and 3,500. As of March 31, 2022, 214 million American adults have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and 220 million have received a novel strain of coronavirus emergedCOVID-19 vaccine booster shot. Mitigation strategies have almost entirely been rolled back in China and has spread globally. In responsemost states, though some strategies remain in place to the coronavirus pandemic, governmental authorities throughout the world, including the United States, have taken significant measures to inhibitcontrol the spread of the disease. The restrictions have had an adverse impact onOmicron variant.
We experienced a year of historically strong growth in 2021, fueled by a combination of unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus and a once-in-a-century global economic reopening. Growth was suppressed mainly by the unexpected surge in COVID-19 over the summer of 2021 that interrupted the global recovery and market conditions acrossexacerbated issues with products reaching consumers. We anticipate that many factors contributing positively to growth will fade in 2022, but we believe that the world. It is possible that public health officials and governmental authorities in the markets in which we have investments may impose or reinstate restrictions in an effort to further slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic or may relax or revoke existing restrictions too quickly, which could, in either case, exacerbate the severity of adverse impacts on the economy. Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the coronavirus and its potential effects,strong consumer demand and the extentinflation they helped create remain as we head into a new year. While the positive demand shock of and effectiveness of any responses taken on a national and local level, including the rollout of vaccination programs in the United States and globally.2021 has receded, it has not gone away entirely.

Our office, multi-family and industrial properties may be negatively impacted by tenant bankruptcies and defaults. To the extent we acquire hospitality properties, a variety of factors related to the coronavirus have, and are expected to continue to, cause a decline in business and leisure travel, negatively impacting these properties. Similarly, our investments in the International Affiliated Funds may be negatively impacted by the impact of coronavirusthe COVID-19 pandemic on the foreign countries where their investments are located.
The extent to which the coronavirusCOVID-19 pandemic may further impact our investments and operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the durationspread of the outbreak,new variants of COVID-19 and new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact and the availability of effective therapies or vaccines, among others.impact.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms and (b) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting to date as a result of most of the employees of the Advisor and its affiliates working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Use of Offering Proceeds
On January 31, 2018, the Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-222231) for our initial public offering of up to
$5 billion in shares of our common stock was declared effective under the Securities Act. The offering price for each class of our common stock is determined monthly and is made available on our website and in prospectus supplement filings.
As of March 31, 2021, we received gross proceeds of $524.4 million from the Offering. The following table summarizes certain information about the Offering proceeds therefrom ($ in thousands except for share data):

Net offering proceeds$42,634 $62,150 $19,833 $91,796 $300,000 $516,413 

We primarily used the net proceeds from the unregistered sales along with the Offering toward the acquisition of $513.1 million of real estate, investments in International Affiliated Funds of $50.2 million and $36.6 million in real estate-related securities. In addition to the net proceeds from the Offering, we financed our investments with $94.3 million of financing from the Credit Facility and $48.0 million from the mortgage payable. In addition, we may from time to time use proceeds from the Offering to pay down our Credit Facility if there are no acquisitions at the time proceeds are received. See Item 2—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional details on our borrowings.
Share Repurchase Plan
We have adopted a share repurchase plan, whereby on a monthly basis, stockholders may request that we repurchase all or any portion of their shares. We may choose to repurchase all, some or none of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased at the end of any particular month, in our discretion, subject to any limitations in the share repurchase plan. The total amount of aggregate repurchases of Class T, Class S, Class D, and Class I shares will be limited to 2% of the aggregate NAV per month and 5% of the aggregate NAV per calendar quarter. Shares would be repurchased at a price equal to the transaction price on the applicable repurchase date, subject to any early repurchase deduction. Shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year would be repurchased at 95% of the transaction price. Due to the illiquid nature of investments in real estate, we may not have sufficient liquid resources to fund repurchase requests and have established limitations on the amount of funds we may use for repurchases during any calendar month and quarter. Further, we may modify, suspend or terminate the share repurchase plan.
