EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2015, the Company owned an approximate 96.3% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 3.7% common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by certain limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company exercises exclusive and complete discretion over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control and can cause it to enter into certain major transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, and refinancings. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.

The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one enterprise. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.

We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. The main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership are:

• Stockholders’ Equity, Noncontrolling Interest and Partners’ Capital. The 3.7% equity interest in the Operating Partnership held by entities other than the Company are classified within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as a noncontrolling interest in the Company's financial statements.

• Relationship to Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, though operations are also conducted through eight other limited partnerships, which are referred to as the “Other Real Estate Partnerships." The Operating Partnership is a limited partner, holding at least a 99% interest, and the Company is a general partner, holding at least a .01% general partnership interest through eight separately wholly-owned corporations, in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities that both the Company and the Operating Partnership consolidate. The Company's direct general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships is reflected as noncontrolling interest within the Operating Partnership's financial statements.

• Relationship to Service Subsidiary. The Company has a direct wholly-owned subsidiary that does not own any real estate but provides services to various other entities owned by the Company. Since the Operating Partnership does not have an ownership interest in this entity, its operations are reflected in the consolidated results of the Company but not the Operating Partnership. Also, this entity owes certain amounts to the Operating Partnership, for which a receivable is included on the Operating Partnership’s balance sheet but is eliminated on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, since both this entity and the Operating Partnership are fully consolidated by the Company.

We believe combining the Company’s and Operating Partnership’s annual reports into this single report results in the following benefits:

• enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

• creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports; and

• eliminates duplicative disclosures and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation for our investors to review since a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.

To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides the following separate disclosures for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

• consolidated financial statements;

• a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity’s stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, as applicable; and

• a combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes distinct information related to each entity.

This report also includes separate Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

PART I

THE COMPANY

Item  1. Business

Background

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993, and is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). We are a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops, and redevelops industrial real estate. As of December 31, 2015, our in-service portfolio consisted of 234 light industrial properties, 78 R&D/flex properties, 167 bulk warehouse properties and 101 regional warehouse properties containing an aggregate of approximately 61.6 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA") located in 25 states. Our in-service portfolio includes all properties other than developed, redeveloped and acquired properties that have not yet reached stabilized occupancy (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased).

We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner, with an approximate 96.3% and 96.2% ownership interest at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Operating Partnership conducts operations itself and through eight other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries, the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships.

Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs and the Other Real Estate Partnerships are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners or the members, as applicable, of such entities in accordance with the provisions contained within their respective organizational documents.

We also provide various services to two joint ventures (the "2003 Net Lease Joint Venture" and the "2007 Europe Joint Venture"; collectively, the "Joint Ventures"). Our noncontrolling equity ownership interests in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture are 15% and 10%, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture sold its last remaining industrial property comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet of GLA. At December 31, 2015, the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own any properties. The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

We utilize an operating approach which combines the effectiveness of decentralized, locally based property management, acquisition, sales and development functions with the cost efficiencies of centralized acquisition, sales and development support, capital markets expertise, asset management and fiscal control systems. At December 31, 2015, we had 170 employees.

Attention: Investor Relations

Business Objectives and Growth Plans

Our fundamental business objective is to maximize the total return to the Company's stockholders and the Operating Partnership's partners through distributions and increases in the value of our properties and operations. Our long-term business growth plans include the following elements:

• Internal Growth. We seek to grow internally by (i) increasing revenues by renewing or re-leasing spaces subject to expiring leases at higher rental levels; (ii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where vacancies exist and maintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iii) controlling and minimizing property operating and general and administrative expenses; and (iv) renovating existing properties.

• External Growth. We seek to grow externally through (i) the development of industrial properties; (ii) the acquisition of portfolios of industrial properties or individual properties which meet our investment parameters within our target markets; (iii) the expansion of our properties; and (iv) possible additional joint venture investments.

• Portfolio Enhancement. We continually seek to upgrade our overall portfolio via new investments as well as through the sale of select assets that we believe do not exhibit favorable characteristics for long-term cash flow growth.

Our ability to pursue our long-term growth plans is affected by market conditions and our financial condition and operating capabilities. See "Summary of Significant Transactions in 2015" under Item 7,"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Business Strategies

We utilize the following six strategies in connection with the operation of our business:

• Organizational Strategy. We implement our decentralized property operations strategy through the deployment of experienced regional management teams and local property managers. We provide acquisition, development and financing assistance, asset management oversight and financial reporting functions from our headquarters in Chicago, Illinois to support our regional operations. We believe the size of our portfolio enables us to realize operating efficiencies by spreading overhead among many properties and by negotiating purchasing discounts.

• Market Strategy. Our market strategy is to concentrate on the top industrial real estate markets in the United States. These markets have one or more of the following characteristics: (i) favorable industrial real estate fundamentals, including improving industrial demand and constrained supply that can lead to long-term rent growth; (ii) warehouse distribution markets with favorable economic and business environments that should benefit from increases in distribution activity driven by growth in global trade and local consumption; and (iii) sufficient size to provide ample opportunity for growth through incremental investments as well as offer asset liquidity.

• Leasing and Marketing Strategy. We have an operational management strategy designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and portfolio performance. We pursue an active leasing strategy, which includes broadly marketing available space, seeking to renew existing leases at higher rents per square foot and seeking leases which provide for the pass-through of property-related expenses to the tenant. We also have local and national marketing programs which focus on the business and real estate brokerage communities and multi-national tenants.

• Acquisition/Development Strategy. Our acquisition/development strategy is to invest in industrial properties in the top industrial real estate markets in the United States.

• Disposition Strategy. We continuously evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors in all of our markets for purposes of identifying assets suitable for disposition.

• Financing Strategy. To finance acquisitions, developments and debt maturities, as market conditions permit, we may utilize a portion of proceeds from property sales, unsecured debt offerings, term loans, mortgage financings and line of credit borrowings under our $625.0 million unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. As of February 24, 2016, we had approximately $356.6 million available for additional borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

Future Property Acquisitions, Developments and Property Sales

We have acquisition and development programs through which we seek to identify portfolio and individual industrial property acquisitions and developments. We also sell properties based on market conditions and property related factors. As a result, we are currently engaged in negotiations relating to the possible acquisition, development or sale of certain industrial properties in our portfolio.

When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, as well as potential industrial property sales, we will consider such factors as: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the location, construction quality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the terms of tenant leases, including the potential for rent increases; (iv) the potential for economic growth and the general business, tax and regulatory environment of the area in which the property is located; (v) the occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the vicinity; (vi) competition from existing properties and the potential for the construction of new properties in the area; (vii) the potential for capital appreciation of the property; (viii) the ability to improve the property’s performance through renovation; and (ix) the potential for expansion of the physical layout of the property and/or the number of sites.

Industry

Industrial properties are typically used for the design, assembly, packaging, storage and distribution of goods and/or the provision of services. As a result, the demand for industrial space in the United States is related to the level of economic output. Accordingly, the competition we face to lease our existing properties and acquire new properties varies with the level of economic output.

Item  1A. Risk Factors

Our operations involve various risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, make distributions to holders of the Company's common stock and the Operating Partnership's general and limited partnership interests ("Units"), the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units. These risks, among others contained in our other filings with the SEC, include:

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing and may negatively impact our liquidity, financial condition and operating results.

From time to time, the capital and credit markets in the United States and other countries experience significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which can cause the market prices of many securities and the spreads on prospective debt financings to fluctuate substantially. These circumstances can materially impact liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in some cases result in the unavailability of financing. A significant amount of our existing indebtedness was issued through capital markets transactions. We anticipate that the capital markets could be a source of refinancing of our existing indebtedness in the future. This source of refinancing may not be available if volatility in or disruption of the capital markets occurs. Furthermore, we could potentially lose access to available liquidity under our Unsecured Credit Facility if one or more participating lenders were to default on their commitments. If our ability to issue additional debt or equity securities or to borrow money under our Unsecured Credit Facility were to be impaired by volatility in or disruption of the capital markets, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.

In addition, price volatility in the capital and credit markets could make the valuation of our properties more difficult. There may be significant uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the value, of our properties that could result in a substantial decrease in the value of our properties. As a result, we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of our properties, which may require us to recognize an impairment loss in earnings.

Real estate investments fluctuate in value depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate industry. These conditions may limit our revenues and available cash.

The factors that affect the value of our real estate and the revenues we derive from our properties include, among other things:

• general economic conditions;

• local, regional, national and international economic conditions and other events and occurrences that affect the markets in which we own properties;

• local conditions such as oversupply or a reduction in demand in an area;

• increasing labor and material costs;

• the ability to collect on a timely basis all rents from tenants;

• changes in tenant operations, real estate needs and credit;

• changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funding;

• zoning or other regulatory restrictions;

• competition from other available real estate;

• operating costs, including maintenance, insurance premiums and real estate taxes; and

• other factors that are beyond our control.

Our investments in real estate assets are concentrated in the industrial sector, and the demand for industrial space in the United States is related to the level of economic output. Accordingly, reduced economic output may lead to lower occupancy rates for our properties. In addition, if any of our tenants experiences a downturn in its business that weakens its financial condition, delays lease commencement, fails to make rental payments when due, becomes insolvent or declares bankruptcy, the result could be a termination of the tenant’s lease, which could adversely affect our cash flow from operations. These factors may be amplified by a disruption of financial markets.

7

Many real estate costs are fixed, even if income from properties decreases.

Our financial results depend on leasing space to tenants on terms favorable to us. Our income and funds available for distribution to our stockholders and Unitholders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent or we are unable to lease properties on favorable terms. In addition, if a tenant does not pay its rent, we may not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and we may incur substantial legal costs. Costs associated with real property, such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property.

We may be unable to acquire properties on advantageous terms or acquisitions may not perform as we expect.

We have routinely acquired properties from third parties as conditions warrant and, as part of our business, we intend to continue to do so. The acquisition of properties entails various risks, including risks that our investments may not perform as expected and that our cost estimates for bringing an acquired property up to market standards may prove inaccurate. Further, we face significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. This competition increases as investments in real estate become attractive relative to other forms of investment. As a result of competition, we may be unable to acquire additional properties and purchase prices may increase. In addition, we expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility, proceeds from equity or debt offerings and debt originations and proceeds from property sales, which may not be available and which could adversely affect our cash flow. Any of the above risks could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.

We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse in the event our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.

The seller of a property often sells such property in its "as is" condition on a "where is" basis and "with all faults," without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property as well as the loss of rental income from that property.

We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate or at all because real estate investments are not as liquid as certain other types of assets.

Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly, which could limit our ability to adjust our property portfolio in response to changes in economic conditions or in the performance of the portfolio. This could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to service debt and make dividends/distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders. In addition, like other companies qualifying as REITs under the Code, our ability to sell assets may be restricted by tax laws that potentially result in punitive taxation on asset sales that fail to meet certain safe harbor rules or other criteria established under case law.

We may be unable to sell properties on advantageous terms.

We have routinely sold properties to third parties as conditions warrant and, as part of our business, we intend to continue to do so. However, our ability to sell properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms or to redeploy the proceeds in accordance with our business strategy, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected. Further, if we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

8

We may be unable to complete development and re-development projects on advantageous terms.

As part of our business, we develop new properties and re-develop existing properties as conditions warrant. This part of our business involves significant risks, including the following:

• we may not be able to obtain financing for these projects on favorable terms;

• we may not complete construction on schedule or within budget;

• we may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other governmental permits and authorizations;

• contractor and subcontractor disputes, strikes, labor disputes or supply chain disruptions may occur; and

• properties may perform below anticipated levels, producing cash flow below budgeted amounts, which may result in us paying too much for a property, cause the property to not be profitable and limit our ability to sell such properties to third parties.

To the extent these risks result in increased debt service expense, construction costs and delays in budgeted leasing, they could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.

We may be unable to renew leases or find other lessees.

We are subject to the risks that, upon expiration, leases may not be renewed, the space subject to such leases may not be relet or the terms of renewal or reletting, including the cost of required renovations, may be less favorable than the expiring lease terms. If we were unable to promptly renew a significant number of expiring leases or to promptly relet the spaces covered by such leases, or if the rental rates upon renewal or reletting were significantly lower than the current rates, our financial condition, results of operation, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

The Company might fail to qualify as a REIT under existing laws and/or federal income tax laws could change.

The Company intends to operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the Code, and we believe that the Company is organized and will operate in a manner that allows us to continue to do so. However, qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements, some of which must be met on a recurring basis. These requirements are established under highly technical and complex Code provisions. There are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations of these provisions, and they involve the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control.

If the Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company would be subject to federal income tax at corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. This could result in a discontinuation or substantial reduction in distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders and could reduce the cash available to pay interest and principal on debt securities that we issue. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the Company would be disqualified from electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the Company failed to qualify. Additionally, since the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, we cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new federal laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Any such legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify the Company's tax treatment and therefore, may adversely affect taxation of us and/or our stockholders and Unitholders. For example, the recently enacted Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (the “PATH Act”) contains numerous changes to the U.S. federal income tax rules applicable to REITs.  Such changes include modifications to various rules that apply to our ownership of, and business relationship with, any taxable REIT subsidiaries (including a reduction in the maximum allowable value of our assets attributable to taxable REIT subsidiaries from 25% to 20%) which could impact our ability to enter into future investments.  The provisions enacted by the PATH Act could result in changes in our tax positions or investments, and future legislative changes related to those rules described above could have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations.

Certain property transfers may generate prohibited transaction income, resulting in a penalty tax on the gain attributable to the transaction.

As part of our business, we sell properties to third parties as opportunities arise. Under the Code, a 100% penalty tax could be assessed on the tax gain recognized from sales of properties that are deemed to be prohibited transactions. The question of what constitutes a prohibited transaction is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each transaction. The IRS could contend that certain sales of properties by us are prohibited transactions. While we have implemented controls to avoid prohibited transactions, if a dispute were to arise that was successfully argued by the IRS, the 100% penalty tax could be assessed against the Company's profits from these transactions.

The REIT distribution requirements may limit our ability to retain capital and require us to turn to external financing sources.

As a REIT, the Company must distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income each year. The Company could, in certain instances, have taxable income without sufficient cash to enable it to meet this requirement. In that situation, we could be required to borrow funds or sell properties on adverse terms in order to do so. The distribution requirement could also limit our ability to accumulate capital to provide capital resources for our ongoing business, and to satisfy our debt repayment obligations and other liquidity needs, we may be more dependent on outside sources of financing, such as debt financing or issuances of additional capital stock, which may or may not be available on favorable terms. Additional debt financings may substantially increase our leverage and additional equity offerings may result in substantial dilution of stockholders’ and Unitholders' interests.

Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our results of operations.

Subject to maintaining the Company's qualification as a REIT, we may seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using interest rate hedging arrangements, such as interest cap agreements and interest rate swap agreements. These agreements may fail to protect or could adversely affect us because, among other things:

• interest rate hedging can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile interest rates;

• available interest rate hedges may not correspond directly with the interest rate risk for which protection is sought;

• the duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related liability;

• the amount of income that a REIT may earn from hedging transactions (other than through taxable REIT subsidiaries) is limited by U.S. federal tax provisions governing REITs;

• the credit quality of the party owing money on the hedge may be downgraded to such an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction;

• the party owing money in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to pay;

• we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements;

• the underlying transactions could fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under generally accepted accounting practices; and

• a court could rule that such an agreement is not legally enforceable.

We have adopted a practice relating to the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks related to our borrowings. This practice requires the Company's Board of Directors to authorize our use of derivative financial instruments to manage the interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. Our practice is that we do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes and intend only to enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors, but the Company's Board of Directors may choose to change these practices in the future. Hedging may reduce the overall returns on our investments, which could reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders and Unitholders. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

10

Debt financing, the degree of leverage and rising interest rates could reduce our cash flow.

We use debt to increase the rate of return to our stockholders and Unitholders and to allow us to make more investments than we otherwise could. Our use of leverage presents an additional element of risk in the event that the cash flow from our properties is insufficient to meet both debt payment obligations and the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. In addition, rising interest rates would reduce our cash flow by increasing the amount of interest due on our floating rate debt and on our fixed rate debt as it matures and is refinanced. Our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount or percentage of indebtedness we may incur.

Failure to comply with covenants in our debt agreements could adversely affect our financial condition.

The terms of our agreements governing our indebtedness require that we comply with a number of financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage. Complying with such covenants may limit our operational flexibility. Our failure to comply with these covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt agreement even if we have satisfied our payment obligations. Consistent with our prior practice, we will continue to interpret and certify our performance under these covenants in a good faith manner that we deem reasonable and appropriate. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by the noteholders or lenders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs. Our ability to meet our financial covenants may be adversely affected if economic and credit market conditions limit our ability to reduce our debt levels consistent with, or result in net operating income below, our current expectations. Under our Unsecured Credit Facility, an event of default can also occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred that could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, we would be subject to higher finance costs and fees, and the lenders under our Unsecured Credit Facility will not be required to lend any additional amounts to us. In addition, our indebtedness, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, could be accelerated and declared to be immediately due and payable. Furthermore, our Unsecured Credit Facility, our unsecured term loans and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain cross-default provisions that may be triggered in the event that our other material indebtedness is in default. These cross-default provisions may require us to repay or restructure our Unsecured Credit Facility, our unsecured term loans or our senior unsecured notes, depending on which is in default, and such restructuring could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units. If repayment of any of our indebtedness is accelerated, we cannot provide assurance that we would be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness or that we would be able to sell sufficient assets to repay such indebtedness. Even if we were able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, or terms that are acceptable to us.

Cross-collateralization of mortgage loans could result in foreclosure on a significant portion of our properties if we are unable to service its indebtedness.

Certain of our mortgages were issued on a cross-collateralized basis. Cross-collateralization makes all of the subject properties available to the lender in order to satisfy the debt. To the extent indebtedness is cross-collateralized, lenders may seek to foreclose upon properties that do not comprise the primary collateral for a loan, which may, in turn, result in acceleration of other indebtedness collateralized by such properties. Foreclosure of properties would result in a loss of income and asset value to us, making it difficult for us to meet both debt payment obligations and the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code.

We may have to make lump-sum payments on our existing indebtedness.

We are required to make lump-sum or "balloon" payments under the terms of some of our indebtedness. Our ability to make required payments of principal on outstanding indebtedness, whether at maturity or otherwise, may depend on our ability to refinance the applicable indebtedness or to sell properties. Currently, we have no commitments to refinance any of our indebtedness.

11

Our mortgages may impact our ability to sell encumbered properties on advantageous terms or at all.

Certain of our mortgages contain, and some future mortgages may contain, substantial prepayment premiums that we would have to pay upon the sale of a property, thereby reducing the net proceeds to us from the sale of any such property. As a result, our willingness to sell certain properties and the price at which we may desire to sell a property may be impacted. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms or redeploy the proceeds of property sales in accordance with our business strategy, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

Adverse market and economic conditions could cause us to recognize impairment charges.

We regularly review our real estate assets for impairment indicators, such as a decline in a property’s occupancy rate, decline in general market conditions or a change in the expected hold period of an asset. If we determine that indicators of impairment are present, we review the properties affected by these indicators to determine whether an impairment charge is required. As a result, we may be required to recognize asset impairment, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We use considerable judgment in making determinations about impairments, from analyzing whether there are indicators of impairment, to the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the investment. Accordingly, our subjective estimates and evaluations may not be accurate, and such estimates and evaluations are subject to change or revision.

Earnings and cash dividends, asset value and market interest rates affect the price of the Company's common stock.

The market value of the Company's common stock is based in large part upon the market’s perception of the growth potential of the Company's earnings and cash dividends. The market value of the Company's common stock is also based upon the value of the Company's underlying real estate assets. For this reason, shares of the Company's common stock may trade at prices that are higher or lower than the Company's net asset value per share. To the extent that the Company retains operating cash flow for investment purposes, working capital reserves, or other purposes, these retained funds, while increasing the value of the Company's underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of the Company's common stock. The Company's failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future earnings and cash dividends/distributions likely would adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock. Further, the distribution yield on the common stock (as a percentage of the price of the common stock) relative to market interest rates may also influence the market price of the Company's common stock. An increase in market interest rates might lead prospective purchasers of the Company's common stock to expect a higher distribution yield, which would adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock. Any reduction in the market price of the Company's common stock would, in turn, reduce the market value of the Units.

We may become subject to litigation, which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

We may become subject to litigation, including claims relating to our operations, offerings, and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims may result in significant defense costs and potentially significant judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, insured against. Resolution of these types of matters could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

We may incur unanticipated costs and liabilities due to environmental problems.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we, as an owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of clean-up of certain conditions relating to the presence of hazardous or toxic materials on, in or emanating from a property and any related damages to natural resources. Environmental laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic materials. The presence of such materials, or the failure to address those conditions properly, may adversely affect our ability to rent or sell a property or to borrow using a property as collateral. The disposal or treatment of or arrangement for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic materials may cause us to also be liable for the costs of clean-up of such materials or for related natural resource damages occurring at or emanating from an off-site disposal or treatment facility, whether or not the facility is owned or operated by us. No assurance can be given that existing environmental assessments with respect to any of our properties reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner or operator of any of our properties did not create any material environmental condition not known to us or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist as to any of our properties. In addition, changes to existing environmental regulations to address, among other things, climate change, could increase the scope of our potential liabilities.

12

Our insurance coverage does not include all potential losses.

Real property is subject to casualty risk including damage, destruction, or loss resulting from events that are unusual, sudden and unexpected. Some of our properties are located in areas where casualty risk is higher due to earthquake, wind and/or flood risk. We carry comprehensive insurance coverage to mitigate our casualty risk, in amounts and of a kind that we believe are appropriate for the markets where each of our properties and their business operations are located. Among other coverage, we carry property, boiler & machinery, liability, fire, flood, terrorism, earthquake, extended coverage and rental insurance. Our coverage includes policy specifications and limits customarily carried for similar properties and business activities.  We evaluate our level of insurance coverage and deductibles using analysis and modeling, as is customary in our industry. However, we do not insure against all types of casualty, and we may not fully insure against those casualty types where we do have insurance, either because coverage is not available or because we do not deem it to be economically feasible or prudent to do so. As a result, we could experience a significant loss of capital or revenues, and be exposed to obligations under recourse debt associated with a property. This could occur if an uninsured loss occurs, a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, or a loss is not paid due to insurer insolvency.

We could be subject to risks and liabilities in connection with joint venture arrangements.

Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in joint ventures and we may selectively develop and acquire properties through joint ventures with other persons or entities when we deem such transactions are warranted by the circumstances. Joint venture investments, in general, involve certain risks, including:

• joint venturers may share certain approval rights over major decisions;

• joint venturers might fail to fund their share of any required capital commitments;

• joint venturers might have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect our ability to operate the property;

• joint venturers may have the power to act contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including our current policy with respect to maintaining the Company's qualification as a REIT;

• the joint venture agreements often restrict the transfer of a member’s or joint venturer’s interest or “buy-sell” or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest when we desire or on advantageous terms;

• disputes between us and our joint venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business and subject the properties owned by the applicable joint venture to additional risk; and

• we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our joint venturers.

The occurrence of one or more of the events described above could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.

We may incur significant costs complying with various federal, state and local laws, regulations and covenants that are applicable to our properties and, in particular, costs associated with complying with regulations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA") may result in unanticipated expenses.

The properties in our portfolio are subject to various covenants and U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulatory requirements, including permitting and licensing requirements. Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions and restrictive covenants imposed by community developers may restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials or restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials of community standards organizations at any time with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of our existing properties. Among other things, these restrictions may relate to fire and safety, seismic or hazardous material abatement requirements. There can be no assurance that existing laws and regulatory policies will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions or renovations, or that additional regulation will not be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional costs. Our growth strategy may be affected by our ability to obtain permits, licenses and zoning relief. Our failure to obtain such permits, licenses and zoning relief or to comply with applicable laws could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

13

In addition, under the ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain U.S. federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. We do not conduct audits or investigations of all of these properties to determine their compliance and we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA, or other legislation. If one or more of our properties in which we invest is not in compliance with the ADA, or other legislation, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA or other legislation, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, our ability to satisfy debt service obligations and to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect the market for the Company's common stock, the industry in which we conduct our operations and our profitability.

Terrorist attacks may harm our results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that there will not be terrorist attacks in the localities in which we conduct business. More generally, any of these events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the worldwide financial markets and economy. These attacks or armed conflicts may adversely impact our operations or financial condition. In addition, losses resulting from these types of events may be uninsurable.

We face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks that could cause loss of confidential information and other business disruptions.

We rely extensively on computer systems to manage our business, and our business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks. These could include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and computer systems. Attacks can be both individual and/or highly organized attempts organized by very sophisticated hacking organizations. We employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, which include password protection, frequent password change events, firewall detection systems, frequent backups, a redundant data system for core applications and annual penetration testing; however, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing a cybersecurity attack. A cybersecurity attack could compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants and vendors. A successful attack could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively affect our liquidity and business operations.

The credit ratings of our senior unsecured notes are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analyses. Our credit ratings can affect the availability, terms and pricing of any indebtedness and preferred stock that we may incur going forward. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain any credit rating and, in the event any credit rating is downgraded, we could incur higher borrowing costs or may be unable to access certain or any capital markets.

Our business could be adversely impacted if we have deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting.

The design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all errors, misstatements or misrepresentations. While management will continue to review the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, there can be no guarantee that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing all control objectives all of the time. Deficiencies, including any material weakness, in our internal control over financial reporting which may occur could result in misstatements of our results of operations, restatements of our financial statements, a decline in the price/value of our securities, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

14

The Company is authorized to issue preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the holders of the Company's common stock issued pursuant to its public offerings.

Our declaration of trust authorizes the Company to issue 150,000,000 shares, of which 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock. Subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors, the Company may issue preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges that are more beneficial than the rights, preferences and privileges of its common stock. Holders of the Company's common stock do not have preemptive rights to acquire any shares issued by the Company in the future. If the Company ever creates and issues preferred stock with a distribution preference over common stock, payment of any distribution preferences on outstanding preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of distributions to our common stockholders and Unitholders. In addition, holders of preferred stock are normally entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment is made to our common stockholders, which would reduce the amount our common stockholders and Unitholders, might otherwise receive upon such an occurrence. Also, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

The Company's Board of Directors may change its strategies, policies or procedures without stockholder approval, which may subject us to different and more significant risks in the future.

Our investment, financing, leverage and distribution policies and our policies with respect to all other activities, including growth, debt, capitalization and operations, are determined by the Company's Board of Directors. These policies may be amended or revised at any time and from time to time at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors without notice to or a vote of its stockholders. This could result in us conducting operational matters, making investments or pursuing different business or growth strategies. Under these circumstances, we may expose ourselves to different and more significant risks in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and growth. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors may change its governance policies provided that such changes are consistent with applicable legal requirements. A change in these policies could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to satisfy our principal and interest obligations, ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.

We may be unable to retain and attract key management personnel.

We may be unable to retain and attract talented executives. In the event of the loss of key management personnel or upon unexpected death, disability or retirement, we may not be able to find replacements with comparable skill, ability and industry expertise. Until suitable replacements are identified and retained, if at all, our operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Item  2. Properties

General

At December 31, 2015, we owned 580 in-service industrial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 61.6 million square feet of GLA in 25 states, with a diverse base of approximately 1,650 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses, including manufacturing, retail, wholesale trade, distribution and professional services. The average annual base rent per square foot on a portfolio basis, calculated at December 31, 2015, was $4.77. The properties are generally located in business parks that have convenient access to interstate highways and/or rail and air transportation. We maintain insurance on our properties that we believe is adequate.

We classify our properties into four industrial categories: light industrial, R&D/flex, bulk warehouse and regional warehouse. While some properties may have characteristics which fall under more than one property type, we use what we believe is the most dominant characteristic to categorize the property.

The following describes, generally, the different industrial categories:

• Light industrial properties are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of 16-21 feet and are comprised of 5%-50% of office space;

• R&D/flex buildings are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of less than 16 feet and are comprised of 50% or more of office space;

• Bulk warehouse buildings are of more than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of at least 22 feet and are comprised of 5%-15% of office space; and

• Regional warehouses are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of at least 22 feet and are comprised of 5%-15% of office space.

16

The following tables summarize, by market, certain information as of December 31, 2015, with respect to the in-service properties.

Indebtedness

As of December 31, 2015, 175 of our 580 in-service industrial properties, with a net carrying value of $727.0 million, are pledged as collateral under our mortgage financings, totaling $565.0 million. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Schedule III beginning on page S-1 for additional information.

Property Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we acquired eight industrial properties and several land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $169.2 million. The industrial properties were acquired at a capitalization rate of approximately 5.9%. The capitalization rate for these industrial property acquisitions was calculated using the estimated stabilized net operating income (excluding straight-line rent, lease inducement amortization and above and below market lease amortization) and dividing it by the sum of the purchase price plus estimated costs incurred to stabilize the properties. The acquired industrial properties have the following characteristics:

Metropolitan Area	Number  of Properties	GLA	Property Type	Occupancy at  12/31/15
Baltimore, MD	2	992,768	Bulk Warehouse	65	%
Dallas, TX	1	79,887	Regional Warehouse	100	%
Houston, TX	2	287,560	Bulk Warehouse/Regional Warehouse	14	%
Southern California	3	582,380	Bulk Warehouse/Regional Warehouse	100	%

Development Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we placed in-service six developments totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet of GLA at a total estimated cost of approximately $109.2 million. Included in the total estimated cost is $13.7 million of estimated leasing costs, including tenant improvements, lease inducements and leasing commissions, less one-time reimbursements of tenant improvements. The capitalization rate for these developments, calculated using the estimated stabilized net operating income (excluding straight-line rent and lease inducement amortization) divided by the total estimated investment in the developed properties is 7.3%. The placed in-service developments have the following characteristics:

Property Sales

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we sold 66 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.8 million square feet of GLA, at a weighted average capitalization rate of 6.7%, and several land parcels for total gross sales proceeds of approximately $158.4 million. The capitalization rate for the 66 industrial property sales is calculated by taking revenues of the property (excluding straight-line rent, lease inducement amortization and above and below market lease amortization) less operating expenses of the property for a period of the last twelve full months prior to sale and dividing the sum by the sales price of the property. The sold industrial properties have the following characteristics:

Tenant and Lease Information

We have a diverse base of approximately 1,650 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses including retail, wholesale trade, distribution, manufacturing and professional services. At December 31, 2015, our leases have a weighted average lease length of 6.4 years and provide for periodic rent increases that are either fixed or based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. Industrial tenants typically have net or semi-net leases and pay as additional rent their percentage of the property’s operating costs, including the costs of common area maintenance, utilities, property taxes and insurance. As of December 31, 2015, approximately 96.1% of the GLA of our in-service properties was leased, and no single tenant or group of related tenants accounted for more than 2.9% of our rent revenues, nor did any single tenant or group of related tenants occupy more than 2.2% of the total GLA of our in-service properties.

Leasing Activity

The following table provides a summary of our leasing activity for the year ended December 31, 2015. The table does not include month-to-month leases or leases with terms less than twelve months.

	Number of Leases Commenced	Square Feet Commenced (in 000’s)	Net Rent Per Square Foot (1)		GAAP  Basis Rent  Growth (2)		Weighted Average  Lease Term (3)	Lease Costs Per Square Foot (4)		Weighted Average Tenant Retention (5)
New Leases	206	4,096	$	4.96	9.5	%	6.1	$	5.14	N/A
Renewal Leases	307	6,868	$	5.12	14.1	%	4.2	$	1.16	76.5	%

Total / Weighted Average	529	12,992	$	4.95	12.5	%	5.8	$	2.56	76.5	%

_______________

(1) Net rent is the average base rent calculated in accordance with GAAP, over the term of the lease.

(2) GAAP basis rent growth is a ratio of the change in net rent (on a GAAP basis, including straight-line rent adjustments as required by GAAP) compared to the net rent (on a GAAP basis) of the comparable lease. New leases where there were no prior comparable leases are excluded.

(3) The lease term is expressed in years. Assumes no exercise of lease renewal options, if any.

(4) Lease costs are comprised of the costs incurred or capitalized for improvements of vacant and renewal spaces, as well as the commissions paid and costs capitalized for leasing transactions. Lease costs per square foot represent the total turnover costs expected to be incurred on the leases signed during the period and do not reflect actual expenditures for the period.

(5) Represents the weighted average square feet of tenants renewing their respective leases.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, 138 new leases commenced with free rent periods during the lease term with such leases constituting 3.3 million square feet of GLA. Total free rent concessions of $5.0 million were associated with these new leases. During the year ended December 31, 2015, 20 renewal leases commenced with free rent periods during the lease term with such leases constituting 0.6 million square feet of GLA. Total free rent concessions of $0.3 million were associated with these renewal leases. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2015, 13 development leases commenced with free rent periods during the lease term with such leases constituting 1.9 million square feet of GLA. Total free rent concessions of $4.3 million were associated with these development leases.

Lease Expirations

Fundamentals for the United States industrial real estate market continued to improve in 2015, as growth in the general economy, in particular e-commerce supply chain activity, drove additional demand for space. Development of new industrial space increased in response to this growth in demand, but incremental demand continued to exceed new supply. The fourth quarter of 2015 marked the 23rd consecutive quarter of positive net absorption for the overall market. These conditions resulted in improved market rental rate environments in virtually all of our markets. Based on our recent experience, the favorable supply-demand balance and the 2016 forecast from a leading national research company, we expect our average net rental rates for renewal leases on a cash basis to be slightly higher than the expiring rates. For 2016, net rental rates for new leases on a cash basis on average are expected to be comparable or slightly higher than the comparative prior leases, primarily due to recovery in market conditions as compared to the conditions prevailing when the comparative leases were structured. The following table shows scheduled lease expirations for all leases for our in-service properties as of December 31, 2015.

Year of Expiration(1)	Number  of Leases Expiring	GLA Expiring(2)	Percentage of  GLA Expiring(2)		Annualized Base Rent Under Expiring Leases(3)		Percentage of Total Annualized Base Rent Expiring(3)

Market Information

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing prices per share of the Company's common stock, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “FR” and the dividends declared per share for the Company's common stock and the distributions declared per Unit for the Operating Partnership's Units. There is no established public trading market for the Units.

As of February 22, 2016, the Company had 449 common stockholders of record and the Operating Partnership had 137 holders of record of general partner and limited partner Units registered with our transfer agent.

In order to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code, the Company is generally required to make common share distributions and preferred share distributions (other than capital gain distributions) to its shareholders in amounts that together at least equal i) the sum of a) 90% of the Company's “REIT taxable income” computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains and b) 90% of net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus ii) certain excess non-cash income.

Our dividend/distribution policy is determined by the Company's board of directors and is dependent on multiple factors, including cash flow and capital expenditure requirements, as well as ensuring that the Company meets the minimum distribution requirements set forth in the Code. The Company met the minimum distribution requirements with respect to 2015.

Holders of Units are entitled to receive distributions when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, after the priority distributions required under the Operating Partnership's partnership agreement have been made with respect to preferred partnership interests in the Operating Partnership out of any funds legally available for that purpose.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Operating Partnership did not issue any limited partner Units.

Subject to lock-up periods and certain adjustments, holders of limited partner Units of the Operating Partnership can redeem their Units by providing written notification to the Company. Unless the Company provides notice of a redemption restriction to the holder, redemption must be made within seven business days after receipt of the holder’s notice. The redemption can be effectuated, as determined by the Company, either by exchanging the Units for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, or by paying cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares. Prior requests for redemption have generally been fulfilled with shares of common stock of the Company, and we intend to continue this practice. If each Unit of the Operating Partnership were redeemed as of December 31, 2015, we could satisfy the redemption obligations by making an aggregate cash payment of approximately $95.3 million or by issuing 4,305,707 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Supplemental Tax Disclosures - Recent U.S. Federal Income Tax Legislation

The PATH Act was enacted on December 18, 2015 and contains several provisions pertaining to REIT qualification and taxation, some of which are briefly summarized below:

• For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018, no more than 25% of the value of our assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, the PATH Act reduces this limit to 20%. At this time, the securities we own in our taxable REIT subsidiaries do not, in the aggregate, exceed 20% of the total value of our assets.

• For purposes of the REIT asset tests, the PATH Act provides that debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs will constitute “real estate assets.” However, unless such a debt instrument is secured by a mortgage or otherwise would have qualified as a real estate asset under prior law, (i) interest income and gain from such a debt instrument is not qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test and (ii) all such debt instruments may represent no more than 25% of the value of our total assets.

• For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, certain obligations secured by a mortgage on both real property and personal property will be treated as a qualifying real estate asset and give rise to qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test if the fair market value of such personal property does not exceed 15% of the total fair market value of all such property.

• A 100% excise tax is imposed on “redetermined TRS service income,” which is income of a taxable REIT subsidiary attributable to services provided to, or on behalf of its associated REIT and which would otherwise be increased on distribution, apportionment, or allocation under Section 482 of the Code.

• For distributions made in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2014, the preferential dividend rules no longer to apply to us.

• Additional exceptions to the rules under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Act (“FIRPTA”) were introduced for non-U.S. persons that constitute “qualified shareholders” (within the meaning of Section 897(k)(3) of the Code) or “qualified foreign pension funds” (within the meaning of Section 897(l)(2) of the Code).

• After February 16, 2016, the FIRPTA withholding rate under Section 1445 of the Code for dispositions of U.S. real property interests is increased from 10% to 15%.

• The PATH Act increases from 5% to 10% the maximum stock ownership of the REIT that a non-U.S. shareholder may have held to avail itself of the FIRPTA exception for shares regularly traded on an established securities market.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the sections of this Form 10-K titled "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Selected Financial Data" and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Business Overview

The Company is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust as defined in the Code.

We believe our financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, disposition of industrial properties and access to external capital.

We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from operating leases of our industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certain property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to: (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties; (ii) maximize tenant recoveries; and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains/losses on the sale of our properties (as discussed below), for our liquidity. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue would decline. Further, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if we were unable to rent our properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.

Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability to acquire existing, and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. We seek to identify opportunities to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seek to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, income from which, as discussed above, is a source of funds for our distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders. The acquisition and development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms, or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.

We also generate income from the sale of our properties (including existing buildings, buildings which we have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The gain/loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and can be a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries. Proceeds from sales are being used to repay outstanding debt and, market conditions permitting, may be used to fund the acquisition of existing, and the acquisition and development of new, industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Further, our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases

27

and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms, our income growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

We utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to refinance debt and finance future acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and to fund acquisitions and developments. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our debt, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of the Company's common stock. If we were unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

Summary of Significant Transactions During 2015

During 2015, we completed the following significant transactions and financing activities:

• We acquired eight industrial properties comprising approximately 1.9 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $169.2 million, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisitions.

• We placed in-service six developments totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet of GLA at a total cost of approximately $109.2 million.

• We sold 66 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.8 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels for total gross sales proceeds of approximately $158.4 million.

• We amended our existing $625.0 million revolving credit agreement, extending the maturity to March, 2019 (with an option to extend an additional one year at our election). The interest rate on our Unsecured Credit Facility is currently LIBOR plus 115 basis points subject to a pricing grid for changes in our leverage ratio or credit ratings. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2015, is 1.57%.

• We entered into a seven-year, $260.0 million unsecured loan (the "2015 Unsecured Term Loan") with a syndicate of financial institutions. The interest rate is currently LIBOR plus 160 basis points subject to a pricing grid for changes in our leverage ratio or credit ratings. We also entered into interest rate protection agreements to effectively convert the variable rate to a fixed rate, providing a weighted average effective rate of 3.39% as of December 31, 2015.

• We paid an annual cash dividend of $0.51 per common share or Unit, an increase of 24% from 2014.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2015 to Year Ended December 31, 2014

The Company's net income was $76.7 million and $51.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Operating Partnership's net income was $76.8 million and $51.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2014 and held as an in-service property through December 31, 2015 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2014 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, 2014. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service. Acquisitions that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition, developments and redevelopments are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development/redevelopment construction completion. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2013 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2015. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2013. (Re)Developments include developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2014; or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2014. Other revenues are derived from operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, fees earned from our Joint Ventures and other miscellaneous revenues. Other expenses are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, operations of our maintenance company, vacant land expenses and other miscellaneous regional expenses.

During the period between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015, one industrial property previously classified within same store, comprising approximately 0.2 million square feet, was reclassified and is included in the Other classification as of December 31, 2015. This property was taken out of service during the fourth quarter of 2015. We intend to demolish the existing industrial property and construct a new industrial property, at which time the property will be reclassified from Other to the (Re) Developments classification. The newly constructed property will return to the same store classification following a complete calendar year of in service classification.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition, development and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the average occupancy rates of our same store properties were 94.2% and 93.2%, respectively.

Revenues from same store properties increased $5.7 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy as well as as an increase in rental rates during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014, partially offset by a decrease in restoration fees. Revenues from acquired properties increased $5.9 million due to the 16 industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2013 totaling approximately 3.0 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $10.5 million due to the 95 industrial properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2013 totaling approximately 5.8 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments increased $12.0 million due to an increase in occupancy. Other revenues increased $0.9 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy related to a property acquired in 2013 that was placed in service during 2014.

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other property related expenses. Property expenses from same store properties decreased $1.0 million primarily due to lower snow removal costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 due to the harsh 2014 winter. Property expenses from acquired properties increased $1.6 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2013. Property expenses from sold properties decreased $4.7 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2013. Property expenses from (re)developments increased $1.6 million primarily due to an increase in real estate tax expense related to the substantial completion of developments. Other expenses remained relatively unchanged.

General and administrative expense for the Company increased by $1.9 million, or 8.3% and increased for the Operating Partnership by $2.1 million, or 9.0%, primarily due to an increase in employee compensation and incentive compensation.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of expense related to costs associated with acquiring industrial properties from third parties.

The impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $0.6 million is due to marketing certain properties for sale and our assessment of the likelihood of a potential sale transaction.

Depreciation and other amortization from same store properties decreased $2.7 million primarily due to accelerated depreciation and amortization taken during the year ended December 31, 2014 attributable to certain tenants who terminated their lease early. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $3.8 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2013. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $4.3 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2013. Depreciation and other amortization from (re)developments increased $2.2 million primarily due to an increase in developments that were placed in service. Depreciation from corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment and other increased $0.4 million primarily due to additional furniture, fixtures and equipment asset purchases as well as an increase related to additional leasing costs incurred for a property that was placed in service during 2014.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized $48.9 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of 66 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.8 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized $0.1 million of loss on sale of real estate related to the sale of land parcels that did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.

Interest income decreased $2.0 million, or 97.1%, primarily due to the receipt of prepayment fees of $0.7 million related to notes receivable that were paid off early during the year ended December 31, 2014 and a decrease in the weighted average note receivable balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.

Interest expense decreased $4.8 million, or 6.6%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2015 (4.99%) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 (5.33%) and an increase in capitalized interest of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 due to an increase in development activities, offset by an increase in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2015 ($1,399.9 million) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 ($1,380.6 million).

Amortization of deferred financing costs remained relatively unchanged.

In August 2014, we entered into three interest rate protection agreements in order to maintain our flexibility to pursue an offering of unsecured debt. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we settled the interest rate protection agreements and reclassified the fair market value loss recorded in other comprehensive income relating to the three interest rate protection agreements to earnings as a result of determining the forecasted offering of unsecured debt was no longer probable to occur within the time period stated in the respective hedge designation memos. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded $11.5 million in mark-to-market and settlement loss on the three interest rate protection agreements.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized a loss from retirement of debt of $0.7 million due to the early payoff of certain mortgage loans.

Equity in income of joint ventures decreased $3.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 primarily due to a decrease in our pro rata share of gain and earn outs from the sales of industrial properties from the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture.

The income tax provision is not significant.

As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted the new accounting standard relating to discontinued operations on January 1, 2015. There were no sales of industrial properties during the year ended December 31, 2015 that met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. The industrial properties sold prior to January 1, 2015 that met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations continue to be presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes certain information regarding the industrial properties included in discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2014 to Year Ended December 31, 2013

The Company's net income was $51.0 million and $41.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Operating Partnership's net income was $51.3 million and $41.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2013 and held as an in-service property through December 31, 2014 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2013 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, 2013.

Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2012 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2014. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2012.

Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $5.3 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2012. Depreciation and other amortization from (re)developments increased $1.8 million primarily due to an increase in developments that were placed in service. Depreciation from corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment and other remained relatively unchanged.

The $0.1 million loss and $1.1 million gain on sale of real estate for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, resulted from the sale of land parcels that did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.

Interest income decreased $0.2 million, or 10.4%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average note receivable balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 partially offset by the receipt of prepayment fees of $0.7 million related to note receivables that were paid off early during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Interest expense decreased $1.4 million, or 1.9%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2014 (5.33%) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 (5.77%), partially offset by an increase in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2014 ($1,380.6 million) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 ($1,338.5 million) and a decrease in capitalized interest of $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 due to a decrease in development activities.

Amortization of deferred financing costs remained relatively unchanged.

In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate protection agreement to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates related to the coupon reset of one of our series of preferred stock. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded $0.1 million in mark-to-market net gain associated with this interest rate protection agreement, which matured on October 1, 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized a loss from retirement of debt of $0.7 million due to the early payoff of certain mortgage loans. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized a loss from retirement of debt of $6.6 million due to the partial repurchase of certain series of our senior unsecured notes, the early payoff of certain mortgage loans and the write-off of certain unamortized loan fees associated with the amendment of our revolving line of credit.

Equity in income of joint ventures increased $3.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily due to an increase in our pro rata share of gain and earn outs from the sales of industrial properties from the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture.

Income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 reflects the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate relating to 29 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflects the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate relating to 67 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2013 and the results of operations of 29 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2014. The impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $2.7 million primarily relates to an impairment charge recorded due to carrying values of certain properties exceeding the estimated fair value based upon third party purchase contracts for properties held for sale during 2013.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies relate to the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

• Accounts Receivable: We are subject to tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect the collection of rent due under our outstanding accounts receivable, including straight-line rent. In order to mitigate these risks, we perform credit reviews and analyses on our major existing tenants and all prospective tenants meeting certain financial thresholds before leases are executed. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts which is an estimate that is based on our assessment of various factors including the accounts receivable aging, customer credit-worthiness and historical bad debts.

• Investment in Real Estate: We allocate purchase price of acquired properties to tangible (land, building, tenant improvements) and identified intangible assets (leasing commissions, in-place leases, tenant relationships, above and below market leases and below market ground lease obligations). Above-market and below-market lease and below market ground lease obligation values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rents for each corresponding in-place lease. Acquired above market leases are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases and acquired below market leases are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. Leasing commission, in-place lease and tenant relationship values for acquired properties are recorded based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value allocated to leasing commission and in-place lease intangible assets is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining lease term of the respective lease. The value allocated to tenant relationships is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimate of the probability of lease renewal and its estimated term. We also must allocate purchase price on multi-property portfolios to individual properties. The allocation of purchase price is based on our assessment of various characteristics of the markets where the property is located and the expected cash flows of the property.

35

• Capitalization of Costs: We capitalize costs incurred in developing and expanding real estate assets as part of the investment basis. During the construction period, we capitalize interest costs, real estate taxes and certain costs of the personnel performing development up to the time the property is substantially complete. The interest rate used to capitalize interest is based upon our average borrowing rate on existing debt. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. We also capitalize internal and external costs incurred to successfully originate a lease that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition of that lease. Leasing costs that meet the requirements for capitalization are presented as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets. The determination and calculation of certain costs requires estimates by us.

• Impairment of Real Estate Assets: We review our real estate assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We utilize the guidelines established under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the "FASB") guidance for accounting for the impairment of long lived assets to determine if impairment conditions exist. We review the expected undiscounted cash flows of the property to determine if there are any indications of impairment. If the expected undiscounted cash flows of a particular property are less than the net book basis of the property, we will recognize an impairment charge equal to the amount of carrying value of the property that exceeds the fair value of the property. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the future expected cash flows of the property. The preparation of the undiscounted cash flows and the calculation of fair value involve subjective assumptions such as estimated occupancy, rental rates, ultimate residual value and hold period. The discount rate used to present value the cash flows for determining fair value is also subjective. To the extent applicable marketplace data is available, we generally use the market approach in estimating the fair value of undeveloped land. Real estate assets that are classified as held-for-sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

• Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities: In the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate our current and deferred income tax liabilities. Our estimates are based on our interpretation of tax laws. These estimates may have an impact on the income tax expense recognized. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by federal and state tax authorities, the Company's inability to qualify as a REIT and changes in tax laws. Adjustments required in any given period are included within the income tax provision. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, we estimate future taxable income, considering the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carryforwards. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were approximately $4.0 million and $23.0 million, respectively. Restricted cash is comprised of gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties. These sale proceeds will be disbursed as we exchange industrial properties under Section 1031 of the Code. We also had $571.6 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

We have considered our short-term (through December 31, 2016) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. Our 5.75% 2016 Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $159.7 million, are due January 15, 2016 (see Subsequent Events). Also, we have $58.1 million in mortgage loans payable outstanding at December 31, 2015 that mature prior to December 31, 2016. We expect to satisfy these payment obligations prior to December 31, 2016 with borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. With the exception of these payment obligations, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification under the Code and distributions approved by the Company's Board of Directors. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities as well as the disposition of select assets. These needs may also be met by the issuance of additional equity securities or long-term unsecured indebtedness, subject to market conditions and contractual restrictions or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

36

We expect to meet long-term (after December 31, 2016) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities, subject to market conditions.

At December 31, 2015, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 1.57%. As of February 24, 2016, we had approximately $356.6 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of December 31, 2015, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants in 2016.

Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings of BBB-/Baa3/BBB-, respectively. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital; however, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.

Year Ended December 31, 2015

Net cash provided by operating activities for the Company of approximately $162.1 million (net cash provided by operating activities for the Operating Partnership of approximately $162.3 million) for the year ended December 31, 2015 was comprised primarily of the non-cash adjustments of approximately $82.5 million, the Company's net income of approximately $76.7 million (the Operating Partnership's net income of approximately $76.8 million) and the Company and the Operating Partnership's net change in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $3.0 million, offset by equity in income of Joint Ventures of approximately $0.1 million. The adjustments for the non-cash items of approximately $82.5 million are primarily comprised of depreciation and amortization of approximately $124.5 million, mark-to-market and settlement loss on interest rate protection agreements of approximately $11.5 million, the impairment of real estate of approximately $0.6 million and the provision for bad debt of approximately $1.0 million, offset by the gain on sale of real estate of approximately $48.9 million and the effect of the straight-lining of rental income of approximately $6.2 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for both the Company and the Operating Partnership of approximately $197.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 was comprised primarily of the acquisition of certain land parcels and eight industrial properties comprising approximately 1.9 million square feet of GLA, the development of real estate, capital expenditures related to the improvement of existing real estate, payments related to leasing activities, an increase in escrows, net contributions to our Joint Ventures and the settlement of interest rate protection agreements, offset by the net proceeds from the sale of real estate and repayments on our notes receivable.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we sold 66 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.8 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Proceeds from the sales of the 66 industrial properties and several land parcels, net of closing costs, were approximately $154.0 million. We are in various stages of discussions with third parties for the sale of additional properties and plan to continue to selectively market other properties for sale in 2016.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the Company of approximately $29.4 million (net cash provided by financing activities for the Operating Partnership of approximately $29.3 million) for the year ended December 31, 2015 was comprised primarily of net proceeds from the origination of the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan, offset by the repayments on our mortgage loans payable, common stock and Unit distributions, payments of debt issuance costs, net repayments on the Unsecured Credit Facility, the repurchase and retirement of restricted stock and restricted Units and the Operating Partnership's net distributions to noncontrolling interests.

On September 11, 2015, we entered into the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan with a syndicate of financial institutions. The 2015 Unsecured Term Loan requires interest only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreement, plus a specified spread based on our leverage ratio or credit ratings. We also entered into interest rate protection agreements to effectively convert the variable rate to a fixed rate.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we paid off and retired prior to maturity a mortgage loan in the amount of $22.9 million. We may from time to time repay additional amounts of our outstanding debt. Any repayments would depend upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors we consider important. Future repayments may materially impact our liquidity, taxable income and results of operations.

_______________

(1) Not on balance sheet.

(2) Operating lease minimum rental payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $3.9 million due in the future under non-cancelable subleases.

(3) Represents estimated remaining costs on the completion of development projects under construction.

(4) Includes interest expense on our unsecured term loans, inclusive of the impact of interest rate protection agreements which effectively swap the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate. Excludes interest expense on our Unsecured Credit Facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2015, we had letters of credit and performance bonds outstanding amounting to $6.7 million in the aggregate. The letters of credit and performance bonds are not reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K, other than those disclosed on the Contractual Obligations and Commitments table above that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity and capital resources.

Environmental

We paid approximately $1.1 million and $0.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to environmental expenditures. We estimate 2016 expenditures of approximately $0.3 million. We estimate that the aggregate expenditures which need to be expended in 2016 and beyond with regard to currently identified environmental issues will not exceed approximately $1.2 million.

Inflation

For the last several years, inflation has not had a significant impact on us because of the relatively low inflation rates in our markets of operation. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of the outstanding leases have lease terms of six years which may enable us to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rentals if rents of existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.

Market Risk

The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes "forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, as described below.

38

Interest Rate Risk

The following analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments which are held by us at December 31, 2015 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.

In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.

At December 31, 2015, $1,389.9 million of our debt (96.4% of total debt at December 31, 2015) was fixed rate debt. This includes $460.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements. As of the same date, $52.5 million of our debt (3.6% of total debt at December 31, 2015) was variable rate debt. At December 31, 2014, $1,164.8 million of our debt (86.3% of total debt at December 31, 2014) was fixed rate debt. This includes $200.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements. As of the same date, $185.0 million of our debt (13.7% of total debt at December 31, 2014) was variable rate debt.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.

Our variable rate debt is subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had approximately $52.5 million and $185.0 million, respectively, of variable rate debt outstanding indexed to LIBOR rates (excluding the $460.0 and $200.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements). If the LIBOR rates relevant to our variable rate debt were to have increased 10%, we estimate that our interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have increased by approximately $0.07 million and $0.03 million, respectively, based on our average outstanding floating-rate debt during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Additionally, if weighted average interest rates on our fixed rate debt were to have increased by 10% due to refinancing, interest expense would have increased by approximately $6.7 million and $7.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $1,495.7 million and $1,422.5 million, respectively, based on our estimate of the then-current market interest rates.

The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage risks of increases in interest rates with respect to the effect these fluctuations would have on our earnings and cash flows. As of December 31, 2015, we had interest rate protection agreements with a notional aggregate amount outstanding of $460.0 million, which mitigate our exposure to our unsecured term loans' variable interest rates, which are based upon LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we settled certain interest rate protection agreements, which were entered into in August 2014, to maintain our flexibility to pursue an offering of unsecured debt, for a payment of $11.5 million made to our derivative counterparties. We have recognized such payment as mark-to-market and settlement loss on interest rate protection agreements. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of these interest rate protection agreements. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Supplemental Earnings Measure

Investors in and industry analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations ("FFO") and net operating income ("NOI") as supplemental operating performance measures of an equity REIT. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time through depreciation. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors prefer to supplement operating results that use historical cost accounting with measures such as FFO and NOI, among others. We provide information related to FFO and same store NOI ("SS NOI") both because such industry analysts are interested in such information, and because our management believes FFO and SS NOI are important performance measures. FFO and SS NOI are factors used by management in measuring our performance, including for purposes of determining the compensation of our executive officers under our 2015 incentive compensation plan.

Neither FFO nor SS NOI should be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor SS NOI represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and neither should be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

Funds From Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has recognized and defined for the real estate industry a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO is calculated by us in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT and therefore may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Management believes that the use of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities, combined with net income (which remains the primary measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management believes that, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, real estate asset depreciation and amortization and impairment charges recorded on depreciable real estate, investors and analysts are able to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and use these operating results for assistance in comparing these operating results between periods or to those of different companies.

The following table shows a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders and participating securities to the calculation of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Same Store Net Operating Income

SS NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides a measure of rental operations, and does not factor in depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, acquisition costs, interest expense, impairment charges, equity in income from joint ventures, income tax benefit and expense, gains and losses on retirement of debt, sale of real estate and mark-to-market and settlement loss on interest rate protection agreements. We define SS NOI as revenues minus property expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses, minus the NOI of properties that are not same store properties and minus the impact of straight-line rent, the amortization of lease inducements, the amortization of above/below market rent and lease termination fees. As so defined, SS NOI may not be comparable to same store net operating income or similar measures reported by other REITs that define same store properties or NOI differently. The major factors influencing SS NOI are occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases and tenant recoveries increases or decreases. Our success depends largely upon our ability to lease space and to recover the operating costs associated with those leases from our tenants.

The following table shows a reconciliation of the same store revenues and property expenses disclosed in the results of operations (and reconciled to revenues and expenses reflected on the statements of operations) to SS NOI for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Subsequent Events

From January 1, 2016 to February 24, 2016, we acquired one industrial property and several land parcels for a purchase price of approximately $46.7 million, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with such acquisitions. We also assumed a $4.5 million mortgage loan payable in conjunction with the acquisition of the property. During the same period, we sold two industrial properties for approximately $9.6 million.

Additionally, on January 15, 2016, we paid off and retired our 2016 Notes, at maturity, in the amount of $159.7 million.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control -Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Partners of

First Industrial, L.P.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in partners' capital and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Industrial, L.P. and its subsidiaries (the “Operating Partnership”) at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Operating Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control -Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Operating Partnership’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands except per share/Unit data)

1. Organization

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 96.3% and 96.2% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations itself and through eight other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries, the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of Other Real Estate Partnerships. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, wholly-owned by the Company, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. Noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 3.7% and 3.8% ("Limited Partner Units"; together with the General Partner Units, the "Units") at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof. 

Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs and the Other Real Estate Partnerships are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners or the members, as applicable, of such entities in accordance with the provisions contained within their respective organizational documents.

We also provide various services to two joint ventures (the "2003 Net Lease Joint Venture" and the "2007 Europe Joint Venture," collectively the "Joint Ventures"). Our noncontrolling equity ownership interests in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture are 15% and 10%, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture sold its last remaining industrial property comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). At December 31, 2015, the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own any properties. The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

As of December 31, 2015, we owned 589 industrial properties located in 25 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 63.6 million square feet of GLA.Of the 589 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.

Any references to the number of industrial properties and square footage in the financial statement footnotes are unaudited.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 include the accounts and operating results of the Company and the Operating Partnership. Such financial statements present our noncontrolling equity interests in our Joint Ventures under the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, in preparation of our consolidated financial statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

64

Reclassifications and Revisions

Gain on sale of real estate included in continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 have been reclassified within the statement of operations to be included in the income from continuing operations subtotal to conform to the 2015 presentation.

From 2000 through 2007, we repurchased 4,324,114 common shares pursuant to a stock repurchase plan authorized by the Company's Board of Directors. These repurchased common shares are subject to state corporate laws that establish the legal status of redeemed shares and prevent them from being reported as treasury shares within the consolidated financial statements. We previously misclassified the repurchased common shares as treasury shares. The common share repurchases should have been classified as reductions of common stock, additional paid-in-capital and distributions in excess of accumulated earnings. We evaluated the impact of this correction on previously issued financial statements and concluded they were not materially misstated.  In order to conform previous financial statements to the current period, we elected to revise previously issued financial statements. The balances for common stock, additional-paid-in-capital and distributions in excess of accumulated earnings on the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity of the Company as of December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2014 have been revised to correct the misclassification. The correction results in reductions in common stock, additional paid-in-capital and distributions in excess of accumulated earnings of $43, $121,277 and $18,698, respectively to the previously reported amounts of $1,031, $1,906,490 and ($657,567), respectively, as of December 31, 2012, $1,143, $1,938,886 and $(669,896), respectively, as of December 31, 2013 and $1,149, $1,872,336 and ($670,650), respectively, as of December 31, 2014. The misclassification has no impact on the previously reported consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income or cash flows. In addition, the misclassification has no impact on the previously reported consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow in connection with gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties. These sales proceeds will be disbursed as we exchange into properties under Section 1031 of the Code. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.

Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation

Investment in real estate is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We review our properties on a quarterly basis for impairment and provide a provision if impairments exist. To determine if an impairment may exist, we review our properties and identify those that have had either an event of change or event of circumstances warranting further assessment of recoverability (such as a decrease in occupancy, a decline in general market conditions or a change in the expected hold period of an asset). If further assessment of recoverability is needed, we estimate the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the property and its eventual disposition on an individual property basis. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property on an individual property basis, we will recognize an impairment loss based upon the estimated fair value of such property. For properties we consider held for sale, we cease depreciating the properties and value the properties at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, we will reclassify such property as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. We classify properties as held for sale when all criteria within the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the "FASB") guidance on the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets are met.

Interest costs, real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel and other directly related costs incurred during construction periods are capitalized and depreciated commencing with the date the property is substantially completed. Upon substantial completion, we reclassify construction in progress to building, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. Such costs begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point we are undergoing necessary activities to get the development ready for its intended use and cease when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy.

65

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives:

	Years
Buildings and Improvements	7 to 50
Land Improvements	5 to 20
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment	4 to 10
Tenant Improvements	Lease Term

Construction expenditures for tenant improvements, leasehold improvements and leasing commissions (inclusive of compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing) are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Capitalized compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing relate to time directly attributable to originating leases with tenants that result directly from and are essential to originating those leases and would not have been incurred had these leasing transactions not occurred. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized.

Upon acquisition of an occupied property, we allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consists of land, buildings, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and intangible assets including in-place leases, above market and below market leases, below market ground lease obligations and tenant relationships. We allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. Acquired above and below market leases and below market ground lease obligations are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases and below market ground lease obligations, and the initial term plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases. The above market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the below market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships, which are included as components of deferred leasing intangibles, net are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal periods of the respective lease for tenant relationships) as adjustments to depreciation and other amortization expense. If a tenant terminates its lease early, the unamortized portion of the tenant improvements, leasing commissions, above and below market leases, the in-place lease value and tenant relationships is immediately written off.

Acquisition related costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred. As defined by GAAP, a business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members or participants. We do not consider acquisitions of land or unoccupied buildings to be business combinations. Rather, these transactions are treated as asset acquisitions and the acquisition related costs are capitalized to the basis of the assets acquired.

Deferred leasing intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, included in our total assets and total liabilities consist of the following:

	December 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
In-Place Leases	$	19,438	$	16,850
Above Market Leases	2,520		3,425
Below Market Ground Lease Obligation	1,778		1,823
Tenant Relationships	9,590		11,428
Total Included in Total Assets, Net of $26,432 and $28,808 of Accumulated Amortization	$	33,326	$	33,526
Below Market Leases	$	11,841	$	12,726
Total Included in Total Liabilities, Net of $8,911 and $8,735 of Accumulated Amortization	$	11,841	$	12,726

66

Amortization expense related to in-place leases and tenant relationships, exclusive of amortization expense related to in-place leases and tenant relationships included in discontinued operations, was $6,326, $6,239 and $5,598 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Rental revenues increased by $462, $925 and $572 related to net amortization of above/(below) market leases, exclusive of net amortization related to above/(below) market leases included in discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We will recognize net amortization expense related to deferred leasing intangibles over the next five years, for properties owned as of December 31, 2015 as follows:

	Estimated Amortization of In-Place Leases and Tenant Relationships		Estimated Net Increase to Rental Revenues Related to Above and Below Market Leases
2016	$	5,922	$	1,106
2017	$	5,263	$	1,049
2018	$	3,652	$	877
2019	$	2,951	$	836
2020	$	2,465	$	757

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

The assets and liabilities of our operations in Canada were translated to U.S. dollars from the Canadian dollar based on the current exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date. The income statement accounts were translated using the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. We sold our sole remaining real estate asset located in Canada during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. These fees and costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $20,332 and $17,173 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Unamortized deferred financing costs are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date.

Investments in Joint Ventures

Investments in joint ventures represent our noncontrolling equity/limited partnership interests in our Joint Ventures. We account for our investments in joint ventures under the equity method of accounting, as we do not have a majority voting interest, operational control or financial control. Control is determined using accounting standards related to the consolidation of joint ventures and variable interest entities. In order to assess whether consolidation of a variable interest entity is required, an enterprise is required to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE") based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Additionally, they require an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary and provide a framework for the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE.

Under the equity method of accounting, our share of earnings or losses of our Joint Ventures is reflected in income as earned and contributions or distributions increase or decrease our investments in joint ventures as paid or received, respectively. Differences between our carrying value of our investments in joint ventures and our underlying equity of such Joint Ventures are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets.

Limited Partners Units

Limited Partner Units are reported within Partners’ Capital in the Operating Partnership's balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 because they are not redeemable for cash or other assets (a) at a fixed or determinable date, (b) at the option of the Unitholder or (c) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Operating Partnership. Redemption can be effectuated, as determined by the General Partner, either by exchanging the Units for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, or by paying cash equal to the fair market value of such shares.

The Operating Partnership is the only significant asset of the Company and economic, fiduciary and contractual means align the interests of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Company's Board of Directors and officers of the Company direct the Company to act when acting in its capacity as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Because of this, the Operating Partnership is deemed to have effective control of the form of redemption consideration. As of December 31, 2015, all criteria were met for the Operating Partnership to control the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of the Company’s common shares required to be delivered upon redemption of all remaining Limited Partner Units.

Stock Based Compensation

We measure compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest.

Net income, net of preferred stock dividends or preferred Unit distributions and redemption of preferred stock or preferred Units, is allocated to common stockholders or Unitholders and participating securities based upon their proportionate share of weighted average shares or Units plus weighted average participating securities. Participating securities are unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. Restricted stock or restricted Unit awards granted to employees and directors are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable dividend or dividend equivalents at the same rate as common stock or Units. See Note 7 for further disclosure about participating securities.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income is recognized on a straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Tenant recovery income includes payments from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and is recognized as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred by us.

If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements are owned by the tenant or us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially complete. Also, when we are the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvements funded by the tenant are treated as lease payments which are deferred and amortized into income over the lease term. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, we record any tenant improvement allowance funded as a lease inducement and amortize it as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.

Revenue is generally recognized on payments received from tenants for early lease terminations upon the effective termination of a tenant’s lease and when we have no further obligations under the lease.

We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable including deferred rent receivable, which is estimated to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,515 and $1,695 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Deferred rent receivable in the consolidated balance sheets is shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,669 and $1,888 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For accounts receivable we deem uncollectible, we use the direct write-off method.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate

Gain on sale of real estate is recognized using the full accrual method, when appropriate. Gains relating to transactions which do not meet the full accrual method of accounting are deferred and recognized when the full accrual method of accounting criteria are met or by using the installment or deposit methods of profit recognition, as appropriate in the circumstances. As the assets are sold, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are written off with resulting gains or losses reflected in net income or loss. Estimated future costs to be incurred by us after completion of each sale are accrued and included in the determination of the gain on sales.

68

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income to its stockholders. Management intends to continue to adhere to these requirements and to maintain the Company's REIT status. As a REIT, the Company is entitled to a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends it pays to shareholders. Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income taxes as long as it currently distributes to shareholders an amount equal to or in excess of the Company's taxable income. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years.

REIT qualification reduces, but does not eliminate, the amount of state and local taxes we pay. In addition, our financial statements include the operations of taxable corporate subsidiaries that are not entitled to a dividends paid deduction and are subject to corporate federal, state and local income taxes.

In accordance with partnership taxation, each of the partners of the Operating Partnership is responsible for reporting their share of taxable income or loss.

We may also be subject to certain federal excise and franchise taxes if we engage in certain types of transactions. A benefit/provision has been made for federal, state and local income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In accordance with FASB’s guidance, the total benefit/provision has been separately allocated to income (loss) from continuing operations and income (loss) from discontinued operations, if applicable. The provision for excise and franchise taxes has been reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and has not been separately stated due to its insignificance.

Earnings Per Share and Earnings Per Unit ("EPS" and "EPU")

Basic net income (loss) per common share or Unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders or Unitholders by the weighted average number of common shares or Units outstanding for the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share or Unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders or Unitholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares or Units outstanding and any dilutive non-participating securities for the period. See Note 7 for further disclosure about EPS and EPU.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Historically, we have used interest rate protection agreements ("Agreements") to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured notes. Receipts or payments that result from the settlement of Agreements used to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured notes are amortized over the life of the derivative or the life of the debt and included in interest expense. Receipts or payments resulting from Agreements used to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt are recognized as a component of interest expense. Agreements which qualify for hedge accounting are marked-to-market and any gain or loss that is effective is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) whereas mark-to-market gains and losses on Agreements which do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in net income (loss) immediately. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) during the hedge period are reclassified to earnings in the same period during which the forecasted transaction or hedged item affects net income (loss). The credit risks associated with Agreements are controlled through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of the counterparty. In the event that the counterparty fails to meet the terms of Agreements, our exposure is limited to the fair value of Agreements, not the notional amounts. See Note 11 for more information on the Agreements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments other than our derivatives include tenant accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, mortgage loans payable, unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans and senior unsecured notes. The fair values of tenant accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses approximate their carrying or contract values. See Note 4 for the fair values of the mortgage loans payable, unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans and senior unsecured notes.

Discontinued Operations

Effective January 1, 2015, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" ("ASU 2014-08") for all properties not previously sold. ASU 2014-08 revised the reporting requirements to only allow a component of an entity, or group of components of an entity, to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.  Going forward, we expect the majority of our property dispositions will not qualify as discontinued operations and the results of the dispositions, including the gain on sale of real estate, will be presented in Income from Continuing Operations.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, the FASB’s guidance on financial reporting for the disposal of long lived assets required that the results of operations and gains or losses on the sale of property or property held for sale be presented in discontinued operations if both of the following criteria were met: (a) the operations and cash flows of the property have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company and the Operating Partnership as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after the disposal transaction. The guidance also required prior period results of operations for these properties to be reclassified and presented in discontinued operations in prior consolidated statements of operations.

Segment Reporting

Management views the Company, inclusive of the Operating Partnership, as a single segment based on its method of internal reporting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 updates consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability companies and securitization structures in an attempt to simplify consolidation accounting. ASU 2015-02 eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships are variable interest entities ("VIE") or voting interest entities ("VOE") and adds requirements that limited partnerships must meet to qualify as VOEs. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.

Since formation of each Other Real Estate Partnership, the Company, which wholly-owns the corporations that act as a general partner of each Other Real Estate Partnership, is also the general partner of the Operating Partnership which holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the Other Real Estate Partnership, has fully consolidated the financial information of the Other Real Estate Partnerships within its financial statements. The Operating Partnership has in the past accounted for each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships under the equity method of accounting based on the VOE classification and the presumption that the corporations owned by the Company that act as the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships controlled the partnerships. However, under ASU 2015-02, the Operating Partnership determined that each Other Real Estate Partnership meets the criteria of a VIE and that it is the primary beneficiary for each Other Real Estate Partnership. As a result, the Operating Partnership has concluded that it should cease accounting for the Other Real Estate Partnerships under the equity method of accounting and consolidate the financial information of the Other Real Estate Partnerships within its financial statements.

During the year ended ended December 31, 2015, the Operating Partnership elected early adoption of ASU 2015-02. The election is a full retrospective adoption approach which requires previously reported periods to be restated. The impact of this adoption on the Operating Partnership's previously reported period is as follows:

	Balance Sheet as Previously Filed as of December 31, 2014		Impact of the Adoption of ASU 2015-02		Balance Sheet as Adjusted as of December 31, 2014
Total Assets	$	2,514,246	$	78,462	$	2,592,708
Total Liabilities	$	1,413,736	$	77,382	$	1,491,118
Total Noncontrolling Interest	$	—	$	1,080	$	1,080

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of the Other Real Estate Partnerships included in our consolidated balance sheets:

	December 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
ASSETS
Assets:
Net Investment in Real Estate	$	306,866	$	278,720

Total Liabilities and Partners’ Capital	$	327,344	$	299,798

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03"), which amends the current presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, instead of as an asset. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this update. Debt issuance costs related to revolving credit agreements are not within the scope of this new guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" ("ASU 2015-15"), which expands upon ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-15 states that given the absence of authoritative guidance within 2015-03, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset for revolving credit agreements and subsequently amortizing the deferred issuance costs ratably over the term of the arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit agreement. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, however, they will impact the Consolidated Balance Sheet presentation related to our debt issuance costs.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"), which requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide certain disclosures when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ended December 31, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those good or services. For the real estate industry, leasing transactions are not within the scope of the new standard. A majority of our tenant-related revenue is recognized pursuant to lease agreements. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. As a result, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Investment in Real Estate

Acquisitions

In 2013, we acquired two industrial properties, one of which we acquired through the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in the limited liability company that owned the industrial property, comprising approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. The purchase price of these acquisitions totaled approximately $72,812, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties and land parcels.

In 2014, we acquired eight industrial properties comprising approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. The purchase price of these acquisitions totaled approximately $95,692, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties and land parcels.

In 2015, we acquired eight industrial properties comprising approximately 1.9 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. The purchase price of these acquisitions totaled approximately $169,218, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties and land parcels.

The purchase price of the industrial properties and land parcels acquired for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was allocated as follows:

	Year Ended December 31, 2015				Year Ended December 31, 2014
	Purchase Price			Weighted Average Life (in Months)	Purchase Price			Weighted Average Life (in Months)
Land	$	52,954		N/A	$	39,739		N/A
Building and Improvements	107,106			(A)	44,070			(A)
Other Assets	2,562			(B)	1,863			(B)
In-Place Leases	7,124			84	5,350			74
Tenant Relationships	—			N/A	3,440			131
Above Market Leases	—			N/A	316			66
Below Market Ground Lease Obligation	—			N/A	1,854			480
Below Market Leases	(528		)	62	(940		)	79
Total Purchase Price (C)	$	169,218			$	95,692

(A) See Note 2 for the disclosure of useful lives of our Investment in Real Estate and our Depreciation policy.

(B) Represents leasing commissions, which are included in Other Assets and amortized over the remaining terms of each lease.

(C) Included in the purchase price for the year ended December 31, 2015, is $122,913 relating to six industrial properties that we acquired and transferred to special purpose entities to facilitate a potential Section 1031 exchange under the Code. To realize the tax deferral available under the Section 1031 exchange, we must complete the Section 1031 exchange and take title to the to-be-exchanged industrial properties within 180 days of the acquisition date. We determined that these special purposes entities are VIEs, and we are the primary beneficiary. Therefore, we consolidate these entities. As of December 31, 2015, these VIEs have no significant liabilities or significant cash flows.

Real Estate Held for Sale

As December 31, 2015, we had one industrial property comprising approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA held for sale. See Subsequent Events.

Sales and Discontinued Operations

In 2013, we sold 67 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.0 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from the sales of the industrial properties and land parcels were approximately $144,628. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $35,444, of which $34,344 is shown in discontinued operations. The 67 sold industrial properties meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 67 industrial properties sold are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the several land parcels, which do not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations, are included in continuing operations.

72

In 2014, we sold 29 industrial properties comprising approximately 2.0 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from the sales of the industrial properties and land parcels were approximately $102,596. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $25,905, of which $25,988 is shown in discontinued operations. The 29 sold industrial properties meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 29 industrial properties sold are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and loss on sale of real estate for the several land parcels, which do not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations, are included in continuing operations.

In 2015, we sold 66 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.8 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from the sales of the industrial properties and land parcels were approximately $158,429. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $48,906. As discussed in Note 2, we adopted the new accounting standard relating to discontinued operations on January 1, 2015. There were no sales of industrial properties during the year ended ended December 31, 2015 that met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations.

The following table discloses certain information regarding the industrial properties included in our discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2014			2013
Total Revenues	$	7,007		$	20,727
Property Expenses	(2,784		)	(8,126		)
Impairment of Real Estate	—			(2,652		)
Depreciation and Amortization	(2,388		)	(7,727		)
Gain on Sale of Real Estate	25,988			34,344
Income from Discontinued Operations	$	27,823		$	36,566

Impairment Charges

The impairment charges of $626 and $2,652 recorded during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2013, respectively, were due to marketing certain industrial properties for sale and our assessment of the likelihood and timing of a potential sale transaction. The impairment charge recorded during the year ended December 31, 2013 of $2,652 is included in discontinued operations.

The accounting guidance for the fair value measurement provisions for the impairment of long lived assets establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The real estate assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2013 were sold.

The fair market values were determined using third party offers. Valuations based on third party offers include bona fide contract prices and letter of intent amounts that we believe are indicative of fair value.

Unsecured Credit Facility (B)	$	52,500		$	185,000		1.57%	N/A	3/11/2019

(A) We entered into interest rate protection agreements, with an aggregate notional value of $460,000, to effectively convert the variable rate to a fixed rate. See Note 11.

(B) The maturity date may be extended an additional year at our election, subject to certain restrictions.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net

During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we paid off and retired prior to maturity mortgage loans in the amount of $22,910 and $65,558, respectively. In connection with these prepayments, we recognized $0 and $655 as loss from retirement of debt for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

As of December 31, 2015, mortgage loans payable are collateralized, and in some instances cross-collateralized, by industrial properties with a net carrying value of $727,022. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans as of December 31, 2015.

Senior Unsecured Notes, Net

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we paid off and retired our 2014 Notes, at maturity, in the amount of $81,794.

74

Unsecured Term Loans

On January 29, 2014, we entered into a seven-year, $200,000 unsecured loan (the "2014 Unsecured Term Loan") with a syndicate of financial institutions. At December 31, 2015, the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan requires interest only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 170 basis points . The interest rate on the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan varies based on the Company's leverage ratio or, at our election, the Company's credit ratings.

On September 11, 2015, we entered into a seven-year, $260,000 unsecured loan (the "2015 Unsecured Term Loan"; together with the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan, the "Unsecured Term Loans") with a syndicate of financial institutions. At December 31, 2015, the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan requires interest only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 160 basis points. The interest rate on the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan varies based on the Company's leverage ratio or, at our election, the Company's credit ratings.

Unsecured Credit Facility

On March 10, 2015, we amended and restated our $625,000 revolving credit agreement (the "Old Credit Facility") with a new $625,000 revolving credit agreement (as amended and restated, the "Unsecured Credit Facility"). We may request that the borrowing capacity under the Unsecured Credit Facility be increased to $900,000, subject to certain restrictions. The amendment extended the maturity date from September 29, 2017 to March 11, 2019 with an option to extend an additional one year at our election, subject to certain restrictions. At December 31, 2015, the Unsecured Credit Facility provides for interest only payments at LIBOR plus 115 basis points. The interest rate on the Unsecured Credit Facility varies based on the Company's leverage ratio or, at our election, the Company's credit ratings.

Indebtedness

The following is a schedule of the stated maturities and scheduled principal payments of our indebtedness, exclusive of premiums and discounts, for the next five years as of December 31, and thereafter:

	Amount
2016	$	229,024
2017	168,723
2018	168,341
2019	128,923
2020	90,855
Thereafter	656,627
Total	$	1,442,493

The Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain financial covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loans, an event of default can occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreements. We believe that the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans and indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2015. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our lenders and noteholders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

Fair Value

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the fair value of our indebtedness was as follows:

	December 31, 2015				December 31, 2014
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Mortgage Loans Payable, Net	$	564,955	$	595,964	$	599,985	$	640,818
Senior Unsecured Notes, Net	364,956		386,253		364,861		395,320
Unsecured Term Loans	460,000		460,970		200,000		200,575
Unsecured Credit Facility	52,500		52,500		185,000		185,747
Total	$	1,442,411	$	1,495,687	$	1,349,846	$	1,422,460

The fair values of our mortgage loans payable were determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made based upon similar remaining maturities. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes were determined by using rates, as advised by our bankers, that are based upon recent trades within the same series of the senior unsecured notes, recent trades for senior unsecured notes with comparable maturities, recent trades for fixed rate unsecured notes from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. The fair value of the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loans was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term, assuming no repayment until maturity. We have concluded that our determination of fair value for each of our mortgage loans payable, senior unsecured notes, the Unsecured Term Loans and the Unsecured Credit Facility was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

5. Stockholders’ Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership

Operating Partnership Units

The Operating Partnership has issued General Partner Units, Limited Partner Units and preferred general partnership Units. The General Partner Units resulted from capital contributions from the Company. The Limited Partner Units are issued in conjunction with the acquisition of certain properties (see discussion below). Subject to certain lock-up periods, holders of Limited Partner Units can redeem their Units by providing written notification to the General Partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless the General Partner provides notice of a redemption restriction to the holder, redemption must be made within seven business days after receipt of the holder’s notice. The redemption can be effectuated, as determined by the General Partner, either by exchanging the Limited Partner Units for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, or by paying cash equal to the fair market value of such shares. Prior requests for redemption have generally been fulfilled with shares of common stock of the Company, and the Operating Partnership intends to continue this practice. If each Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership were redeemed as of December 31, 2015, the Operating Partnership could satisfy its redemption obligations by making an aggregate cash payment of approximately $95,285 or by issuing 4,305,707 shares of the Company’s common stock. The preferred general partnership Units result from preferred capital contributions from the Company. The Operating Partnership is required to make all required distributions on the preferred general partnership Units prior to any distribution of cash or assets to the holders of the Units. The consent of the holder of the Limited Partner Units is required to alter such holder’s rights as to allocations and distributions, to alter or modify such holder’s rights with respect to redemption, to cause the early termination of the Operating Partnership or to amend the provisions of the partnership agreement which requires such consent.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the derivative or over the life of the debt. In the next 12 months, we expect to amortize approximately $391 into net income by increasing interest expense for interest rate protection agreements we settled in previous periods. Additionally, recurring settlement amounts on the 2014 and 2015 Swaps, as defined in Note 11, will also be reclassified to net income. See Note 11 for more information about our derivatives.

A valuation allowance is recorded if we believe it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. We do not have projections of future taxable income or other sources of taxable income in the taxable REIT subsidiaries significant enough to allow us to believe it is more likely than not that we will realize our deferred tax assets. Therefore, we have recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and which causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets, is included in the current tax provision.

83

The income tax (provision) benefit pertaining to income from continuing operations of the taxable REIT subsidiaries differs from the amounts computed by applying the applicable federal statutory rate as follows for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2015			2014			2013
Tax Benefit (Provision) at Federal Rate Related to Continuing Operations	$	64		$	(532	)	$	286
State Tax Provision, Net of Federal Benefit	(212		)	(214		)	(236		)
Non-deductible Permanent Items, Net	10			1			21
IRS Audit Adjustment and Accrued Interest	—			—			58
Change in Valuation Allowance	787			1,133			(388		)
Other	(766		)	(626		)	262
Net Income Tax (Provision) Benefit	$	(117	)	$	(238	)	$	3

We evaluate tax positions taken in the financial statements on a quarterly basis under the interpretation for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As a result of this evaluation, we may recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is "more-likely-than-not" that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2015, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

We file income tax returns in the U.S., and various states and foreign jurisdictions. In general, the statutes of limitations for income tax returns remain open for the years 2012 through 2015.

Federal Income Tax Treatment of Share Distributions

For income tax purposes, distributions paid to the Company's common shareholders are classified as ordinary income, capital gain, return of capital or qualified dividends. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the distributions per common share were classified as follows:

Common Stock	2015		As a Percentage of Distributions		2014		As a Percentage of Distributions		2013		As a Percentage of Distributions
Ordinary Income	$	0.2629	67.93	%	$	0.4412	100.00	%	$	0.3088	100.00	%
Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain	0.1241		32.07	%	—		0.00	%	—		0.00	%
	$	0.3870	100.00	%	$	0.4412	100.00	%	$	0.3088	100.00	%

For income tax purposes, distributions paid to the Company's preferred shareholders are classified as ordinary income, capital gain, return of capital or qualified dividends. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the preferred distributions per depositary share for the Series J and Series K Preferred Stock were classified as ordinary income of $0.5085 and $0.9969, respectively.

10. Benefit Plans

Stock Based Compensation

The Company maintains a stock incentive plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”), which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Officers, certain employees and the Company's independent directors generally are eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plan. Awards made under the Stock Incentive Plan can be in the form of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance share awards, dividend equivalent rights, non-statutory stock options and stock appreciation rights. Special provisions apply to awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan in the event of a change in control in the Company. As of December 31, 2015, awards covering 3.0 million shares of common stock were available to be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Restricted Stock/Units

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company awarded 216,975, 299,805 and 284,461 shares, respectively, of restricted stock awards to certain employees, which had a fair value of $4,708, $5,413 and $4,719 on the date of approval by either the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or the Company's stockholders of the Stock Incentive Plan, as the case may be. These restricted stock awards were issued based upon the achievement of certain corporate performance goals and generally vest over a period of three years. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company awarded 17,385 and 19,250 shares, respectively, of restricted stock to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, which each had a fair value of $350 on the date of approval. These restricted stock awards vest over a one-year period. The Operating Partnership issued Units to the Company in the same amounts for these award issuances.

Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the restricted stock or restricted Unit awards expected to vest except if the recipient is not required to provide future service in exchange for vesting of such restricted stock or restricted Unit awards. If vesting of a recipient's restricted stock or restricted Unit awards is not contingent upon future service, the expense is recognized immediately at the date of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recognized $1,352, $1,451 and $1,008, respectively, of compensation expense related to restricted stock or restricted Unit awards granted to our Chief Executive Officer and one other employee for which future service was not required.

LTIP Unit Awards

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2013, the Company granted 264,432 and 718,960 Long-Term Incentive Program ("LTIP") performance units ("LTIP Unit Awards") to certain employees, which had a fair value of $2,531 and $5,411 on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The LTIP Unit Awards vest based upon the relative total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the TSRs of the MSCI US REIT Index and the NAREIT Industrial Index. The TSR for the LTIP Unit Awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2015 is calculated based on the performance period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017. The TSR for half of the granted units during the year ended December 31, 2013 was calculated based upon the performance period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 and the TSR for the other half was calculated based upon the performance from July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. Compensation expense is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the respective performance periods. At the end of the respective performance periods each participant will be issued shares of the Company's common stock equal to the maximum shares issuable to the participant for the performance period multiplied by a percentage, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the Company's TSR as compared to the TSRs of the MSCI US REIT Index and the NAREIT Industrial Index. The participant is also entitled to dividend equivalents for shares issued pursuant to vested LTIP Unit Awards. The dividend equivalents represent any common dividends that would have been paid with respect to such issued shares after the grant of the LTIP Unit Awards and prior to the date of settlement. The Operating Partnership issued Units to the Company in the same amounts for vested LTIP Unit Awards.

85

As mentioned above, the fair values of the LTIP Unit Awards at issuance were determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on Monte Carlo simulations using the following assumptions:

	Year Ended December 31, 2015		Year Ended December 31, 2013
Expected dividend yield	1.99	%	2.22	%
Expected volatility - range used	20.43% - 21.99%		24.28% - 34.66%
Expected volatility - weighted average	21.34	%	30.61	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.10% - 1.16%		0.03% - 0.71%
Expected term	3 years		1 - 2.5 years

Outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Unit Awards and LTIP Unit Awards

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recognized $7,177, $7,605 and $6,202, respectively, in amortization related to restricted stock or restricted Unit awards and LTIP Unit Awards, of which $42, $41 and $43 was capitalized in connection with development activities. At December 31, 2015, we had $5,432 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested restricted stock or restricted Unit awards and LTIP Unit Awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 0.91 years.

Restricted stock or restricted Unit award and LTIP Unit Award transactions for the year ended December 31, 2015 are summarized as follows:

	Awards		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2014	816,718		$	12.68
Issued	498,792		$	15.21
Forfeited	(4,313	)	$	13.68
Vested	(661,222	)	$	11.87
Outstanding at December 31, 2015	649,975		$	15.43

401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan

In September 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved and the Company adopted a 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan. Under the Company's 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan, all eligible employees may participate by making voluntary contributions. The Company may make, but is not required to make, matching contributions, which are funded by the Operating Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, total expense recognized for the 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan related to matching contributions was $471, $387 and $300, respectively.

11. Derivatives

Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate protection agreements as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate protection agreements designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

In connection with the origination of the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan (see Note 4), during January 2014, we entered into four interest rate protection agreements, with an aggregate notional value of $200,000, to manage our exposure to changes in the one month LIBOR rate (the “2014 Swaps ”). The 2014 Swaps fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 2.29% and mature on January 29, 2021. We designated the 2014 Swaps as cash flow hedges.

In connection with the origination of the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan (see Note 4), during September 2015, we entered into six interest rate protection agreements, with an aggregate notional value of $260,000, to manage our exposure to changes in the one month LIBOR rate (the “2015 Swaps ”). The 2015 Swaps fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.79% and mature on September 12, 2022. We designated the 2015 Swaps as cash flow hedges.

86

In order to maintain our flexibility to pursue an offering of unsecured debt, during August 2014, we entered into three interest rate protection agreements, with an aggregate notional value of $220,000, to manage our exposure to changes in the three month LIBOR rate (the "Settled Swaps"). At origination, we designated the Settled Swaps as cash flow hedges but, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Settled Swaps were de-designated and the fair market value loss was reclassified to earnings from other comprehensive income since we determined the forecasted offering of unsecured debt was no longer probable to occur within the time period stated in the respective designation memos. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we made a settlement payment of $11,546 to our derivative counterparties, which is recognized as mark-to-market and settlement loss on interest rate protection agreements.

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations subject to certain thresholds. As of December 31, 2015, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the agreement provisions. If we had breached these provisions, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value.

Our Series F Preferred Stock, which was redeemed during the year ended December 31, 2014, included a quarterly rate reset. In 2008, we had entered into an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates related to the forecasted reset rate of the coupon rate of our Series F Preferred Stock (the "Series F Agreement"). Accounting guidance for derivatives does not permit hedge accounting treatment related to equity instruments and therefore the mark-to-market gains or losses related to the Series F agreement were recorded in the statement of operations. The Series F Agreement matured on October 1, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, gains of $52 were recognized as mark-to-market gain on interest rate protection agreements.

The following table sets forth our financial liabilities related to the 2014 and 2015 Swaps, which are included in Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015:

				Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using:
Description	Fair Value			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities:
Derivatives designated as a hedging instrument:
2014 Swaps	$	(7,380	)	—	$	(7,380	)	—
2015 Swaps	$	(1,064	)	—	$	(1,064	)	—

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the 2014 and 2015 Swaps during the year ended December 31, 2015. See Note 6 for more information.

The estimated fair value of the 2014 and 2015 Swaps was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk. We determined that the significant inputs used to value the 2014 and 2015 Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

12. Related Party Transactions

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Operating Partnership had receivable balances of $10,714 and $10,767, respectively, from a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

87

13. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.

At December 31, 2015, we had outstanding letters of credit and performance bonds in the aggregate amount of $6,698.

In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction of industrial properties. At December 31, 2015, we had four industrial properties totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet of GLA under construction. The estimated total investment as of December 31, 2015 is approximately $78,700 (unaudited). Of this amount, approximately $59,700 (unaudited) remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated total investment.

Ground and Operating Lease Agreements

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recognized $1,281, $1,300 and $1,440, respectively, in operating and ground lease expense.

Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground and operating leases under which we are the lessee as of December 31, 2015 are as follows:

2016	$	1,993
2017	1,929
2018	1,180
2019	534
2020	533
Thereafter	25,866
Total (A)	$	32,035

________________

(A) Minimum rental payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $3,861 due in the future under non-cancelable subleases.

14. Subsequent Events

From January 1, 2016 to February 24, 2016, we acquired one industrial property and several land parcels for a purchase price of approximately $46,664, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with such acquisitions. We also assumed a $4,513 mortgage loan payable in conjunction with the acquisition of the property. During the same period, we sold two industrial properties for approximately $9,614.

Additionally, on January 15, 2016, we paid off and retired our 2016 Notes, at maturity, in the amount of $159,679.
