Core Portfolio and City Point Leasing Update

Core Portfolio

The Company is continuing to achieve peak leasing volumes. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company signed new leases with pro-rata annual base rents (“ABR”) of approximately $2.1 million. These new leases increased its signed but not yet commenced rents by over 30% to $8.8 million (as compared to $6.7 million on June 30, 2022). This represents 6% of total Core ABR. In addition, the Company renewed over $5.4 million of leases. All amounts above are at the Company’s share.

Approximately 90% of the newly executed and renewed leases subsequent to June 30, 2022 occurred within its Street and Urban portfolio and included cash spreads in excess of 40% from its Soho, New York and Gold Coast, Chicago assets.

City Point

In September 2022, the Company executed two fourth-floor leases at City Point in Downtown Brooklyn that totaled approximately 37,000 square feet (23,000 square feet at the Company’s share) and $1.5 million in ABR ($0.9 million at the Company’s share). One lease expands Alamo Drafthouse Cinema’s existing footprint by 13,000 square feet or five theaters. The other lease is with a 24,000 square foot fitness use with a target audience ranging from children to adults.

Fund Transaction Updates

Fund V Update

In August 2022, Fund V completed the acquisition of a 90% interest in the Shoppes at South Hills in Poughkeepsie, New York for $47 million in a joint venture with DLC Management. The Shoppes at South Hills is a dominant grocery-anchored center. In addition to the cash flow from well performing credit tenants, the investment provides for additional value-add opportunities through future densification.

The investment period for Fund V has been extended to August 25, 2023, with unanimous approval from its investors.

Fund IV

In August 2022, Fund IV completed the disposition of Wake Forest Crossing in Wake Forest, North Carolina for approximately $39 million and repaid the mortgage of $20.7 million.
