The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts us and our tenants will depend,
in part, on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be
predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the
pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact,
including the adoption of available COVID-19 vaccines, and the direct and
indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among
others. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact
our future results, performance or transactions, see Part II, "Item 1A. Risk
Factors" in this document and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2020, which you should interpret as being heightened as a
result of the numerous and ongoing adverse impacts of COVID-19. Readers should
not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only
on information currently available to us (or to third parties making the
forward-looking statements). We undertake no obligation to publicly release any
revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by
applicable law.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in
this report.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has caused, and could continue to cause,
significant disruptions to the U.S. and global economy, including the retail
sector within the U.S. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and could
continue to have, a significant adverse impact on the underlying industries of
many of our tenants. As a result of the pandemic and the measures implemented to
control the spread of COVID-19, our tenants and their operations, and their
ability to pay rent in full, on time or at all, have been, and may continue to
be, adversely impacted, including because of required temporary closures of
their stores or modifications to, or restrictions placed on, their operations.
While many U.S. states and cities have eased or lifted such restrictions,
continued mitigation efforts or the effect of any relaxation or revocation of
restrictions, including the impact on and of consumer behavior, all of which
vary by geography, will continue to impact our business and such impacts may be
significant and materially adverse to us. While we have been negatively impacted
by the COVID-19 pandemic, including a decline in our retail portfolio occupancy
of 260 basis points from 94.1% as of March 31, 2020 to 91.5% as of March 31,
2021 and a 4.0% decrease in annualized base rent (ABR) within our retail
operating portfolio from $366,285 at March 31, 2020 to $351,686 at March 31,
2021, we also note recent positive trends, including continued improvement in
base rent collection since the start of the pandemic, positive blended
re-leasing spreads throughout the pandemic and increased leasing demand over the
previous three quarters. However, due to numerous uncertainties, it is not
possible to accurately predict the ultimate impact the pandemic will have on our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and we continue to
closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of our business.
In response to COVID-19 and its related impact on many of our tenants, we
reached agreements with tenants regarding lease concessions. The majority of the
amounts addressed by the lease concessions are base rent, although certain
concessions also address tenant recoveries and other charges. The majority of
these concessions were agreed to and, in the majority of these circumstances,
executed during the year ended December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, we have
agreed in principle and/or executed additional lease concessions to defer,
without an extension of the lease term, $36 of previously uncollected base rent
                                       21

charges and to address an additional $1,877 of previously uncollected base rent
charges through abatement, a combination of deferral and abatement or a
concession with the extension of the lease term.
As of April 26, 2021, we have collected 96% of base rent charges related to the
three months ended March 31, 2021 and have executed lease concession agreements
to address an additional 1% of base rent related to the three months ended
March 31, 2021. Uncollected billed base rent related to tenants who have
declared bankruptcy represents an additional 0.2% for the three months ended
March 31, 2021. As of April 26, 2021, we have collected 81%, 89% and 95% of
billed base rent charges related to the three months ended June 30, 2020,
September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to 78%, 88%
and 94% as of February 8, 2021, respectively.
As of March 31, 2021, we have collected 93% of the base rent charges that had
previously been deferred under executed lease concession agreements and were due
to be paid during the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021,
the amounts that have been deferred to future periods under executed lease
concessions, on a weighted average basis, are expected to be received over a
period of approximately nine months. While we have reached agreement with the
majority of tenants that have requested lease concessions as a result of
COVID-19, we can provide no assurances whether certain tenants may request
additional concessions in the future. As of March 31, 2021, all of our
properties were open for the benefit of the communities and customers that our
tenants serve and approximately 98% of our tenants (based on gross leasable area
(GLA)), or 97% of our tenants (based on ABR), were open.
The following ABR information is based on ABR of leases in our retail operating
portfolio that were in effect as of March 31, 2021, and is being provided to
assist with analysis of the actual and potential impact of COVID-19. The
information may not be indicative of collection, lease concession activity and
cash-basis designation in future periods. The classification of tenant type,
including the classification between essential and non-essential, is based on
management's understanding of the tenant's operations and may not be comparative
to similarly titled classifications by other companies.

We are a prominent owner of multi-tenant retail properties, many with a
mixed-use component, primarily located in the following markets: Dallas,
Washington, D.C./Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Houston, San
Antonio, Phoenix and Austin. Since our inaugural investor day in 2013, we have:
•improved our retail ABR by 33% to $19.28 per square foot as of March 31, 2021
from $14.46 per square foot as of March 31, 2013;
•increased our concentration in lifestyle and mixed-use properties based on
multi-tenant retail ABR by 1,700 basis points to 33% as of March 31, 2021 from
16% as of March 31, 2013;
•reduced our top 20 retail tenant concentration of total ABR by 1,040 basis
points to 27.5% as of March 31, 2021 from 37.9% as of March 31, 2013; and
•reduced our indebtedness by 32% to $1,761,558 as of March 31, 2021 from
$2,601,912 as of March 31, 2013.
Additionally, as of March 31, 2021, approximately 88.4% of our multi-tenant
retail ABR was generated in the top 25 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), as
determined by the United States Census Bureau and ranked based on the most
recently available population estimates.
We are focused on optimizing our tenancy, asset level configurations and
merchandising through accretive leasing activity and growth-producing mixed-use
expansion and redevelopment projects. For the three months ended March 31, 2021,
we achieved a blended re-leasing spread of positive 5.8% consisting of
comparable cash leasing spreads of positive 21.3% on new leases and positive
3.0% on renewal leases. During this period, we achieved average annual
contractual rent increases on comparable signed new leases of approximately 180
basis points. As of March 31, 2021, we have $16,882 of ABR related to 791 square
feet of GLA pertaining to 2021 lease expirations and $5,891 of ABR related to
233 square feet of GLA pertaining to leases signed but not yet commenced.
Our active expansion and redevelopment projects consist of approximately
$179,000 to $192,000 of expected investment through 2022, equivalent to
approximately 6% of the net book value of our investment properties as of
March 31, 2021. These predominantly mixed-use-focused projects include the
redevelopment at Circle East, the expansion projects of Pads G & H at One
Loudoun Downtown and site and building reconfiguration at The Shoppes at
Quarterfield as well as the vacant pad development at Southlake Town Square. Our
current portfolio of assets contains numerous additional projects in the
longer-term pipeline, including, among others, redevelopment at Carillon,
additional pad developments at One Loudoun Downtown,

write-off of assets taken out of service due to the demolition of a retail
outparcel at our Tacoma South investment property during the three months ended
March 31, 2021. No such write-off occurred during the three months ended
March 31, 2020;
•a $6,100 gain on litigation settlement recognized during the three months ended
March 31, 2020 related to litigation with a former tenant. No such gain was
recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021;
•a $1,953 increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to the
timing of recognition of cash bonus expense;
                                       26

•a $1,706 increase in interest expense primarily consisting of:
•a $4,750 increase in interest on our 4.75% senior unsecured notes due 2030
(Notes Due 2030), which were issued in August 2020; and
•a $1,000 increase in interest on our additional $100,000 4.00% senior unsecured
notes due 2025 (Notes Due 2025), which were issued in July 2020;
partially offset by
•a $1,960 decrease in interest on our $250,000 unsecured term loan due 2021,
which was repaid in August 2020;
•a $1,030 decrease in interest on our 4.12% senior unsecured notes due 2021, the
remaining $100,000 principal balance of which was repaid in September 2020; and
•a $778 decrease in interest on our unsecured revolving line of credit as it was
undrawn as of March 31, 2021; and
•a $1,651 increase in operating expenses primarily due to higher snow-related
expenses in 2021.
Net operating income (NOI)
We define NOI as all revenues other than (i) straight-line rental income
(non-cash), (ii) amortization of lease inducements, (iii) amortization of
acquired above and below market lease intangibles and (iv) lease termination fee
income, less real estate taxes and all operating expenses other than lease
termination fee expense and non-cash ground rent expense, which is comprised of
amortization of right-of-use lease assets and amortization of lease liabilities.
NOI consists of same store NOI (Same Store NOI) and NOI from other investment
properties (NOI from Other Investment Properties). We believe that NOI, Same
Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties, which are supplemental
non-GAAP financial measures, provide an additional and useful operating
perspective not immediately apparent from "Net income" or "Net income
attributable to common shareholders" in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We use these measures to
evaluate our performance on a property-by-property basis because they allow
management to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease
rates and tenant base have on our operating results. NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI
from Other Investment Properties do not represent alternatives to "Net income"
or "Net income attributable to common shareholders" in accordance with GAAP as
indicators of our financial performance. Comparison of our presentation of NOI,
Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties to similarly titled
measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible
differences in definition and application by such REITs. For reference and as an
aid in understanding our computation of NOI, a reconciliation of net income
attributable to common shareholders as computed in accordance with GAAP to Same
Store NOI has been presented for each comparable period presented.
Same store portfolio
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our same store portfolio consisted of
102 retail operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized
prior to January 1, 2020. The number of properties in our same store portfolio
increased to 102 as of March 31, 2021 from 101 as of December 31, 2020 as a
result of the addition of North Benson Center, a same store investment property
that was acquired on March 7, 2019.
The properties and financial results reported in "Other investment properties"
primarily include the following:
•properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized during 2020 and 2021;
•the multi-family rental units at Plaza del Lago;
•Circle East, which is in active redevelopment;
•One Loudoun Downtown - Pads G & H, which are in active development;
•Carillon, a redevelopment project where we halted plans for vertical
construction during 2020 in response to macroeconomic conditions due to the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;
•The Shoppes at Quarterfield, which is in active redevelopment;

Same Store NOI decreased $1,882, or 2.3%, primarily due to the following:
•a $4,367 decrease in base rent primarily as a result of (i) a $3,680 decrease
from occupancy declines, (ii) a $2,609 decrease from lease concession agreements
that do not meet deferral accounting treatment, partially offset by $1,230
related to the repayment of amounts previously deferred under lease concessions
that did not meet deferral accounting treatment, and (iii) an increase of $645
from contractual rent changes. The aggregate $2,609 decrease from lease
concession agreements was associated with billed base rent of $1,254 from the
three months ended March 31, 2021 and $1,355 from prior periods; and
•a $1,569 increase in property operating expenses and real estate taxes, net of
tenant recoveries, primarily due to (i) decreases in tenant recoveries as a
result of a decline in occupancy and (ii) an increase in certain net recoverable
property operating expenses;
partially offset by
•a $4,580 decrease in reserve for uncollectible lease income primarily due to
(i) collection of amounts related to previous periods from tenants accounted for
on the cash basis of accounting, (ii) the execution of lease concessions that
did not meet deferral accounting treatment, however, were agreed in previous
periods; as a result, the impact of
                                       28
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
these concessions was included within the reserve for uncollectible lease income
until executed, and (iii) a decrease in the general reserve due to collections
from accrual-basis tenants, partially offset by (iv) the uncollected portion of
current period charges related to cash-basis tenants and (v) the impact of lease
concessions we have agreed in principle as of March 31, 2021 that are not
expected to meet deferral accounting treatment, however, such agreements have
not been executed as of March 31, 2021; as a result, the impact of these
anticipated concessions are included within the reserve for uncollectible lease
income until executed.
Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an
industry trade group, has promulgated a financial measure known as funds from
operations (FFO). As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to
real estate, (ii) gains from sales of real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses
from change in control and (iv) impairment write-downs of real estate assets and
investments in entities directly attributable to decreases in the value of real
estate held by the entity. We have adopted the NAREIT definition in our
computation of FFO attributable to common shareholders. Management believes
that, subject to the following limitations, FFO attributable to common
shareholders provides a basis for comparing our performance and operations to
those of other REITs.
We define Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders as FFO attributable
to common shareholders excluding the impact of discrete non-operating
transactions and other events that we do not consider representative of the
comparable operating results of our real estate operating portfolio, which is
our core business platform. Specific examples of discrete non-operating
transactions and other events include, but are not limited to, (i) the impact on
earnings from gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt
or other liabilities, (ii) litigation involving the Company, including gains
recognized as a result of settlement and costs to engage outside counsel related
to litigation with former tenants, (iii) the impact on earnings from executive
separation, and (iv) the excess of redemption value over carrying value of
preferred stock redemption, which are not otherwise adjusted in our calculation
of FFO attributable to common shareholders.
We believe that FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO
attributable to common shareholders, which are supplemental non-GAAP financial
measures, provide an additional and useful means to assess the operating
performance of REITs. FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO
attributable to common shareholders do not represent alternatives to (i) "Net
Income" or "Net income attributable to common shareholders" as indicators of our
financial performance, or (ii) "Cash flows from operating activities" in
accordance with GAAP as measures of our capacity to fund cash needs, including
the payment of dividends. Comparison of our presentation of Operating FFO
attributable to common shareholders to similarly titled measures for other REITs
may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and
application by such REITs.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income attributable to
common shareholders to FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that cash flows from the below-listed sources will provide
adequate capital for the next 12 months and beyond for all scheduled principal
and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, including maturing debt,
current and anticipated tenant allowances or other capital obligations, the
shareholder distributions required to maintain our REIT status and compliance
with the financial covenants of our unsecured debt agreements.
Our primary expected sources and uses of liquidity are as follows:
                        SOURCES

                                                    ?   Repurchases of our common stock


Over the last several years, we have made substantial progress in reinforcing
the strength of our balance sheet, as demonstrated by our financial flexibility
and abundant liquidity. We believe this progress places us in a position to be
able to better withstand the current unprecedented macroeconomic environment.
However, there can be no assurances in this regard or that additional financing
or capital will be available to us going forward on favorable terms, or at all.
Additionally, as of April 26, 2021, we have collected 96% of base rent charges
related to the three months ended March 31, 2021 and have executed lease
concession agreements for an additional 1% of billed base rent related to the
three months ended March 31, 2021. Uncollected billed base rent related to
tenants who have declared bankruptcy represents an additional 0.2% for the three
months ended March 31, 2021. As of April 26, 2021, we have collected 81%, 89%
and 95% of billed base rent charges related to the three months ended June 30,
2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to
78%, 88% and 94% as of February 8, 2021, respectively. If our cash collection
activity deteriorates, and if we reach additional agreements with tenants to
defer or abate rent, our operating cash flows and liquidity will be negatively
impacted. We can make no assurances that the in-process lease amendments will
ultimately be executed in the lease concession type being actively negotiated,
or at all. Over the last several years as we worked to fortify our balance
sheet, we funded debt maturities primarily through capital markets transactions,
including public and private offerings of senior unsecured notes, as well as
asset dispositions. As of March 31, 2021, we have no scheduled debt maturities
and $1,811 of principal amortization due through the end of 2021, which we plan
on satisfying through a combination of cash flows from operations, working
capital and our unsecured revolving line of credit.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we made scheduled principal

Unsecured Term Loans and Revolving Line of Credit
Unsecured Credit Facility
On April 23, 2018, we entered into our fifth amended and restated credit
agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for an unsecured
credit facility aggregating $1,100,000, consisting of an $850,000 unsecured
revolving line of credit that matures on April 22, 2022 and a $250,000 unsecured
term loan that was scheduled to mature on January 5, 2021 and was repaid during
2020 (Unsecured Credit Facility). The unsecured revolving line of credit is
priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance
with the unsecured credit agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage
grid resets quarterly based on our leverage, as calculated at the previous
quarter end, and we have the option to make an irrevocable election to convert
to an investment grade pricing grid. As of March 31, 2021, making such an
election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, we have not
made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

The Unsecured Credit Facility has a $500,000 accordion option that allows us, at
our election, to increase the total Unsecured Credit Facility up to $1,350,000,
subject to (i) customary fees and conditions including, but not limited to, the
absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and
(ii) our ability to obtain additional lender commitments.
As of March 31, 2021, we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $291 that
serve as collateral for certain capital improvements at one of our properties
and reduce the available borrowings on our unsecured revolving line of credit.
Unsecured Term Loans
As of March 31, 2021, we have the following unsecured term loans: (i) a
seven-year $200,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2023), (ii) a five-year
$120,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2024) and (iii) a seven-year
$150,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2026), each of which bears interest
at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid. In accordance
with the respective term loan agreements, the credit spread set forth in the
leverage grid resets quarterly based on our leverage, as calculated at the
previous quarter end, and we have the option to make an irrevocable election to
convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of March 31, 2021, making such
an election would not have changed the interest rate for the Term Loan Due 2023
and would have resulted in higher interest rates for the Term Loan Due 2024 and
Term Loan Due 2026 and, as such, we have not made the election to convert to an
investment grade pricing grid.

The Term Loan Due 2023 has a $100,000 accordion option that allows us, at our
election, to increase the Term Loan Due 2023 up to $300,000, subject to (i)
customary fees and conditions, including the absence of an event of default as
defined in the amended term loan agreement and (ii) our ability to obtain
additional lender commitments.
The Term Loan Due 2024 has a $130,000 accordion option and the Term Loan Due
2026 has a $100,000 accordion option that, collectively, allow us, at our
election, to increase the total of the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026

absence of an event of default as defined in the term loan agreement and (ii)
our ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

Our unsecured debt agreements, consisting of the (i) unsecured credit agreement,
as amended governing the Unsecured Credit Facility, (ii) term loan agreement, as
amended governing the Term Loan Due 2023, (iii) term loan agreement, as amended
governing the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026, (iv) note purchase
agreement governing the 4.58% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (Notes Due 2024),
(v) indenture, as supplemented, governing the Notes Due 2025, (vi) note purchase
agreement governing the 4.08% senior unsecured notes due 2026 and the 4.24%
senior unsecured notes due 2028 (Notes Due 2026 and 2028), (vii) note purchase
agreement governing the 4.82% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (Notes Due 2029)
and (viii) indenture, as supplemented, governing the Notes Due 2030, contain
customary representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default.
These include financial covenants such as (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and
consolidated leverage ratios; (ii) minimum interest coverage ratios; (iii)
minimum fixed charge coverage ratios; (iv) minimum unencumbered interest
coverage ratios; (v) a minimum debt service coverage ratio; and (vi) a minimum
unencumbered assets to unsecured debt ratio. All financial covenants that
include operating results, or derivations thereof, in the covenant calculations
are based on the most recent four fiscal quarters of activity. As such, the
impact of short-term relative adverse operating results, if any, on our
financial covenants is partially mitigated by previous and/or subsequent
operating results. As of March 31, 2021, we believe we were in compliance with
the financial covenants and default provisions under the unsecured debt
agreements.
We plan on addressing our debt maturities through a combination of (i) cash
flows generated from operations, (ii) working capital, (iii) capital markets
transactions and (iv) our unsecured revolving line of credit.
Distributions and Equity Transactions
Our distributions of current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S.
federal income tax purposes are taxable to shareholders, generally, as ordinary
income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are
treated as a non-taxable reduction of the shareholders' basis in the shares to
the extent thereof (non-dividend distributions) and thereafter as taxable gain.
We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Internal Revenue Code of
                                       33
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
1986, as amended (the Code) generally requires that a REIT annually distributes
to its shareholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without
regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. The Code
imposes tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income.
To satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT and generally not be
subject to U.S. federal income and excise tax, we intend to make distributions
of all, or substantially all, of our taxable income to shareholders. Our future
distributions will be at the discretion of our board of directors and are
required to be declared 10 days prior to the record date. When determining the
amount of future distributions, we expect to consider, among other factors,
(i) the amount of cash generated from our operating activities, (ii) our
expectations of future cash flow, (iii) our determination of near-term cash
needs for debt repayments and potential future share repurchases, (iv) the
market of available acquisitions of new properties and redevelopment, expansion
and pad development opportunities, (v) the timing of significant re-leasing
activities and the establishment of additional cash reserves for anticipated
tenant allowances and general property capital improvements, (vi) our ability to
continue to access additional sources of capital, and (vii) the amount required
to be distributed to maintain our status as a REIT, which is a requirement of
our unsecured credit agreement, and to avoid or minimize any income and excise
taxes that we otherwise would be required to pay. Under certain circumstances,
we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for
distribution in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements.
We declared a quarterly distribution of $0.07 per share of common stock during
the three months ended March 31, 2021.
We have an existing common stock repurchase program under which we may
repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $500,000 of shares of our
Class A common stock. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in
privately negotiated transactions and are canceled upon repurchase. The timing
and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors,
including price in absolute terms and in relation to the value of our assets,
corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate
liquidity requirements and priorities. The common stock repurchase program may
be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. We did not
repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of
March 31, 2021, $189,105 remained available for repurchases of shares of our
common stock under our common stock repurchase program.
On April 1, 2021, we established an at-the-market (ATM) equity program under
which we may issue and sell shares of our Class A common stock, having an
aggregate offering price of up to $250,000, from time to time. Actual sales may
depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions and
the trading price of our Class A common stock. Any net proceeds are expected to
be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding acquisitions
and redevelopment activities and repaying debt.
Capital Expenditures and Redevelopment Activity
We anticipate that obligations related to capital improvements and
redevelopments, including expansions and pad developments, in 2021 can be met
with (i) cash flows generated from operations, (ii) working capital, (iii)
capital markets transactions and (iv) our unsecured revolving line of credit.
As of March 31, 2021, we have active expansion and redevelopment projects at
Circle East, One Loudoun Downtown, The Shoppes at Quarterfield and a vacant pad
development at Southlake Town Square and we have invested a total of
approximately $117,000 in these projects, which is net of proceeds of $11,820
from the sale of air rights at Circle East and net of contributions from our
joint venture partner at One Loudoun Downtown. These projects are at various
stages of completion, and based on our current plans and estimates, we
anticipate that it will require approximately $62,000 to $75,000 of additional
investment from us to complete these projects.
We capitalized $716 and $626 of internal salaries and related benefits of
personnel directly involved in capital upgrades and tenant improvements during
the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We also
capitalized $57 and $60 of internal leasing incentives, all of which were
incremental to signed leases, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively.
