Item 2.06 Material Impairments
During the second quarter of 2021, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (the “Company") made an initial investment in a future development project aggregating over 600,000 RSF in one of the Company’s existing submarkets in California (the “Project”).
Since the Company's initial investment, the macroeconomic environment has deteriorated and negatively impacted the financial outlook for this Project. On August 25, 2022, the Company concluded a real estate impairment charge of approximately $30 million was required under generally accepted accounting principles to write off its entire investment in the Project. In its decision to recognize an impairment charge, the Company considered the financial outlook for this Project, the recoverability of its investment, and its decision to no longer proceed with this Project. The Company does not expect additional future payments in connection with this Project.
