EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020 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, 2020, the Company owned an approximate 97.9% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 2.1% common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by limited partners. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and recipients of RLP Units (as defined in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Company's Stock Incentive Plan (as defined in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). 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:

•Equity, Noncontrolling Interest and Partners' Capital. The 2.1% equity interest in the Operating Partnership held by entities or persons 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, although 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 separate 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 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 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"). As of December 31, 2020, our in-service portfolio consisted of 183 bulk warehouse properties, 96 regional warehouse properties, 127 light industrial properties and 14 R&D/flex properties, containing an aggregate of approximately 62.4 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA") located in 20 states.

We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership formed on November 23, 1993 of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 97.9% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at December 31, 2020. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through the Other Real Estate Partnerships, numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), 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. Noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 2.1% at December 31, 2020, represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units").

We also own equity interests in, and provide various services to, two joint ventures (the "Joint Ventures") through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership. The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Company or the Operating Partnership as presented herein.

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 an increase in cash flows 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) contractual rent escalations on our long-term leases; (iii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where vacancies exist and maintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iv) controlling and minimizing property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and releasing costs; and (v) renovating existing properties.

•External Growth. We seek to grow externally through (i) the development of best-in-class industrial properties; (ii) the acquisition of portfolios of industrial properties or individual properties which meet our investment parameters within our 15 target logistics 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. We target new investments located in 15 logistics markets where land is more scarce. We seek to refine our portfolio over the coming years by focusing on bulk and regional warehouses properties and downsizing our percentage of light industrial and R&D/flex buildings.

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 2020" under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Business Strategies

We utilize the following 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 15 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) favorable economic and business environments that should benefit from increases in distribution activity driven by growth in global trade and local consumption; (iii) population growth as it generally drives industrial demand; (iv) natural barriers to entry and scarcity of land which are key elements in delivering future rent growth; and (v) 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 investment strategy is primarily focused on developing and acquiring industrial properties in the top 15 key logistics markets with a coastal orientation in the United States through the deployment of experienced regional management teams. When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, we 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.

•Disposition Strategy. We continually evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors in all of our markets for purposes of identifying assets suitable for disposition. We look to sell lower rent growth assets and redeploy the capital into higher rent growth assets in key logistics markets. We also seek to shrink our holdings of light industrial and R&D/flex assets over time.

•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 $725.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. We also continually evaluate joint venture arrangements as another source of capital to finance acquisitions and developments. As of February 15, 2021, we had approximately $724.6 million available for additional borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

Competition

In connection with the acquisition of industrial properties and land for development, we compete with other public industrial property sector REITs, income-oriented non-traded REITs, private real estate funds and other real estate investors and developers, some of which have greater financial resources than we do or other competitive advantages relative to us. Such competition may result in an increase in the amount we must pay to acquire a property or may require us to forgo an investment in a property that would otherwise meet our investment criteria. We also face significant competition in leasing available properties to prospective tenants and in re-leasing space to existing tenants. As a result, we may have to provide rent concessions, incur expenses for tenant improvements or offer other inducements to enable us to timely lease vacant space, all of which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Government Regulation

We are subject to laws, rules and regulations of the United States and the states and local municipalities in which we operate, including laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations and competitive position as compared to prior periods.

Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance ("ESG")

We are focused on building and maintaining a socially responsible and sustainable business that succeeds by delivering long-term value for our stockholders. We continuously look for new and better ways to minimize our environmental impact as well as that of our tenants. We have an established committee (the "Corporate Responsibility Committee") consisting of members of our construction, environmental, human resources, investor relations, legal, operations and risk management teams responsible for advising senior management and our Board of Directors on various matters related to sustainability, social responsibility and other non-financial issues that are of significance to us and our stockholders.

Because we primarily net lease the properties in our portfolio to our tenants whereby each tenant is ultimately responsible for maintaining the leased property, one of our key corporate responsibility priorities is to engage with and encourage our tenants to implement environmentally sustainable practices, such as the use of energy and water efficient fixtures and recycling programs. Additionally, as we add properties to our portfolio or enhance existing facilities, environmental sustainability is a key consideration of our efforts to improve or develop such properties, and we seek to employ green building techniques and incorporate energy, water and other resource-efficient features. We extend the same commitment to environmental excellence to our own offices, promoting sustainable practices and energy efficiency that can both reduce environmental impact and achieve lower operating costs. Our headquarters office in Chicago is an energy-efficient LEED-certified building.

Social responsibility and engagement is an integral part of our business, as we are committed to developing and maintaining strong relationships with our customers, business partners, investors, and the communities in which we operate and invest. In addition, we aim to provide a positive work environment for our employees by offering proper compensation, quality benefit offerings including health and wellness and retirement plans and financial education, and career training and growth opportunities.

Our governance efforts are led by our Board of Directors, which is elected by our stockholders to oversee their interest in the long-term financial strength and overall success of the Company, exercising its members' business judgment using their collective experience, knowledge and skills. Directors must fulfill their responsibilities as members of the Board of Directors consistent with their fiduciary duty to our stockholders, in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Board of Directors provides advice and counsel to the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers of the Company. The Board of Directors ensures that the assets of the Company are properly safeguarded, that appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that the Company's business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Human Capital

At December 31, 2020, we had 153 employees, 100% of whom are full-time employees.

In addition to the sustainability efforts overseen by the Corporate Responsibility Committee, the committee also advises on ways to foster a diverse and inclusive work environment, improve the health and safety of our employees and engage our surrounding communities. We are an equal opportunity employer and, as such, promote an equitable workplace that acknowledges and values differences in race, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, abilities and religious beliefs. We apply these policies throughout our organization, including at the senior management level and in our composition of our Board of Directors. We believe such diversity of experience and background helps make us strong and achieve our mission to create long-term shareholder value by providing industrial real estate solutions that mutually benefit our customers and our stockholders.

In managing our business, we focus on attracting and retaining employees by providing compensation and benefits packages that are competitive within the applicable market, taking into account the job position’s location and responsibilities. All employees are eligible to participate in one of our incentive plans, under which payments are tied to pre-established performance goals. In addition, we believe that developing our employees’ skillsets and decision-making abilities—through challenging project assignments, formal training, mentorship, and recognition—is key not only to our employees’ job satisfaction and our retention efforts, but also to maintaining a strong leadership pipeline.

The health and safety of our employees and their families is a top priority, as well as for our customers and business partners. During 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented the following:

•We established new safety protocols and procedures at all of our locations, including increasing cleaning protocols, establishing physical distancing procedures, modifying workspaces, requiring facial coverings and providing personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies for employees who needed to be onsite at our offices or operating properties;

•We enhanced our IT systems and equipment so that all employees were able to work remotely; and

•We maintained frequent communication with our employees regarding the impacts of the pandemic on our team members and operations, with an emphasis on safety and business continuity.

Item 1A.			Risk Factors

Our operations involve various risks that could adversely affect our business, including our financial condition, our results of operations, our cash flow, our liquidity, our ability to make distributions to holders of the Company's common stock and the Operating Partnership's 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:

Risks Related to our Business:

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 or more general economic conditions.

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 renew leases or find other tenants on advantageous terms or at all.

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.

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, if necessary, 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. 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 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.

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 incur unanticipated costs and liabilities due to environmental problems.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may, as a current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate, 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 hazardous or toxic materials, or the arrangement of such disposal or treatment, may cause us to 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. Moreover, there can be no assurance that (i) changes to existing laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by customers, by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of our properties (such as releases from underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to us.

All of our properties were subject to a Phase I or similar environmental assessment by independent environmental consultants at the time of acquisition. Phase I assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties. Phase I assessments generally include a historical review, a public records review, an investigation of the surveyed site and surrounding properties, and preparation and issuance of a written report, but do not include soil sampling or subsurface investigations and typically do not include an asbestos survey. While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and sampling, none of our environmental assessments of our properties have revealed an environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. However, we cannot give any assurance that such conditions do not exist or may not arise in the future. Material environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns may arise after the environmental assessment has been completed.

Environmental laws in the U.S. also require that owners or operators of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, adequately inform or train those who may come into contact with asbestos and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, in the event that asbestos is disturbed during building renovation or demolition. These laws may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos. Some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building materials.

We invest in properties historically used for industrial, manufacturing and commercial purposes. Some of these properties contain, or may have contained, underground storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products and other hazardous or toxic substances. All of these operations create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Some of our properties are adjacent to or near other properties that may have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks used to store petroleum products, or other hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, previous or current occupants of our properties and adjacent properties may have engaged, or may in the future engage, in activities that may release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances.

We have a portfolio environmental insurance policy that provides coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy's coverage conditions and limitations, for most of our properties. From time to time, we may acquire properties or interests in properties, with known adverse environmental conditions where we believe that the environmental liabilities associated with these conditions are quantifiable and that the acquisition will yield a superior risk-adjusted return. In such an instance, we underwrite the costs of environmental investigation, clean-up and monitoring into the cost. Further, in connection with property dispositions, we may agree to remain responsible for, and to bear the cost of, remediating or monitoring certain environmental conditions on the properties.

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.

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.

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.

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. We currently have and may in the future selectively acquire, own and/or develop 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 not present where we act alone, including:

•joint venture partners may share certain approval rights over major decisions, which might (i) significantly delay or make impossible actions and decisions we believe are necessary or advisable with respect to properties owned through a joint venture, and/or (ii) adversely affect our ability to develop, finance, lease or sell properties owned through a joint venture at the most advantageous time for us, if at all;

•joint venture partners might experience financial distress, become bankrupt or otherwise fail to fund their share of any required capital contributions;

•joint venture partners might have economic or other business interests or goals that are competitive or inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect our ability to develop, finance, lease, operate, manage or sell any properties owned by the applicable joint venture;

•joint venture partners 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;

•joint venture agreements often restrict the transfer of a member’s or joint venture’s interest or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell our interest when we would like to or on advantageous terms;

•disputes between us and our joint venture partners 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 venture partners.

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 make distributions to our stockholders and unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.

We own certain properties subject to ground leases that expose us to the loss of such property upon breach or termination of the ground lease.

We own the building and improvements and lease the land underlying the improvements under several long-term ground leases. We could lose our interests in the properties if the ground leases are breached by us, terminated or lapse. As we get closer to the lease termination dates, the values of the properties could decrease without an extension in place. Certain of these ground leases have payments subject to annual escalations and/or periodic fair market value adjustments which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

We are exposed to the potential impacts of future climate change.

We are exposed to potential physical risks from possible future changes in climate. Our properties may be exposed to rare catastrophic weather events, such as severe storms, floods or wildfires. If the frequency of extreme weather events increases, our exposure to these events could increase. 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 given climate change risk. We may be adversely impacted as a real estate owner, manager and developer in the future by potential impacts to the supply chain or stricter energy efficiency standards or greenhouse gas regulations for the commercial building sectors. Compliance with new laws or regulations relating to climate change, including compliance with “green” building codes, may require us to make improvements to our existing properties or result in increased operating costs that we may not be able to effectively pass on to our tenants. Any such laws or regulations could also impose substantial costs on our tenants, thereby impacting the financial condition of our tenants and their ability to meet their lease obligations and to lease or re-lease our properties. We cannot give any assurance that other such conditions do not exist or may not arise in the future. The potential impacts of future climate change on our real estate properties could adversely affect our ability to lease, develop or sell such properties or to borrow using such properties as collateral.

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, wildfire 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 and machinery, general liability, cyber liability, fire, flood, terrorism, earthquake, extended coverage and rental loss 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 certain perils such as earthquake, windstorm and cyber risk, 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 due to an uninsured or high deductible loss, a loss in excess of insured limits, or a loss not paid due to insurer insolvency.

Financing and Capital Risks:

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

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. 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. 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.

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.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, in the U.S., the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as its preferred alternative rate for USD LIBOR in debt and derivative financial instruments. Our revolving credit facility, our unsecured term loans and related interest rate swaps are indexed to LIBOR. Our loan documents contain provisions that contemplate alternative methods to determine the base rate applicable to our LIBOR-indexed debt to the extent LIBOR-indexed rates are not available. Additionally, no mandatory prepayment or redemption provisions would be triggered under our loan documents in the event that the LIBOR-indexed rates are not available. If our debt agreements and derivative contracts are not transitioned to a preferred alternative rate and LIBOR-indexed rates are discontinued or if the methods of calculating the rates change, interest rates on our current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected. While we currently expect LIBOR-indexed rates to be available until the end of 2021, it is possible that they will become unavailable prior to that time. We anticipate managing the transition to a preferred alternative rate using the language set out in our agreements however future market conditions may not allow immediate implementation of desired modifications and we may incur significant associated costs in doing so. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the potential impact on our debt payments and value of our related debt, however, we are not able to predict when LIBOR-indexed rates will cease to be available.

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 historical 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 revolving credit facility and our unsecured term loans, 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 (which includes our private placement 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.

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 we may incur or preferred stock that we might issue 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.

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.

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

In the normal course of business, we use derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility on debt instruments, including hedging for future debt issuances. At other times we may utilize derivatives to increase our exposure to floating interest rates. There can be no assurance that these hedging arrangements will have the desired beneficial impact. These arrangements, which can include a number of counterparties, may expose us to additional risks, including failure of any of our counterparties to perform under these contracts, and may involve extensive costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs, if we terminate them. 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. No strategy can completely insulate us from the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations.

We have adopted a practice relating to the use of derivative financial instruments which requires the Company's Board of Directors to authorize our use of derivative financial instruments to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of unsecured debt and 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.

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.

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 the payment of 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.

Future sales or issuances of our common stock may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

The sale of substantial amounts of our common stock, whether directly by us or in the secondary market, the perception that such sales could occur or the availability of future issuances of shares of our common stock, limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock, could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-related securities. In addition, we may issue capital stock that is senior to our common stock in the future for a number of reasons, including to finance our operations and business strategy, to adjust our ratio of debt to equity or for other reasons.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to many factors, including:

•actual or anticipated variations in our operating results, funds from operations, cash flows or liquidity,

•changes in our earnings estimates or those of analysts,

•changes in asset valuations and related impairment charges,

•changes in our dividend policy,

•publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry generally,

•the ability of our tenants to pay rent to us and meet their obligations to us under the current lease terms and our ability to re-lease space as leases expire,

•increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our common stock to demand a higher dividend yield,

•changes in market valuations of similar companies,

•adverse market reaction to the amount of our debt outstanding at any time, the amount of our debt maturing in the near- and medium-term and our ability to refinance our debt, or our plans to incur additional debt in the future,

•our ability to comply with applicable financial covenants under our unsecured line of credit and the indentures under which our senior unsecured indebtedness is, or may be, issued,

•additions or departures of key management personnel,

•actions by institutional stockholders,

•speculation in the press or investment community,

•general market and economic conditions.

Many of the factors listed above are beyond our control. Those factors may cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly, regardless of our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. It is impossible to provide any assurance that the market price of our common stock will not fall in the future, and it may be difficult for holders to resell shares of our common stock at prices they find attractive, or at all.

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure:

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 225,000,000 common shares and 10,000,000 shares 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.

Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws could hinder, delay or prevent a change in control of our company.

Certain provisions of our charter and our bylaws could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing transactions that involve an actual or threatened change in control of our company. These provisions include the following:

•Removal of Directors. Under our charter, subject to the rights of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect one or more directors, a director may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders generally in the election of directors.

•Preferred Stock. Under our charter, our board of directors has the power to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and to establish the terms, preferences and rights of any such series of preferred stock, all without approval of our stockholders.

•Advance Notice Bylaws. Our bylaws require advance notice procedures with respect to nominations of directors and shareholder proposals.

•Ownership Limit. For the purpose, among others, of preserving our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, our charter generally prohibits any single stockholder, or any group of affiliated stockholders, from beneficially owning more than 9.8% of our outstanding common and preferred stock unless our board of directors waives or modifies this ownership limit.

•Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our bylaws contain a provision that permits our stockholders to take action by written consent in lieu of an annual or special meeting of stockholders only if the unanimous consent of the stockholders is obtained.

•Ability of Stockholders to Call Special Meeting. Under our bylaws, we are only required to call a special meeting at the request of the stockholders if the request is made by at least a majority of all votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders generally in the election of directors.

•Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting acquisitions of our shares from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. However, our board of directors may amend our bylaws in the future to repeal or modify this exemption, in which case any control shares of our company acquired in a control share acquisition will be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act.

Income Tax Risks:

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. This could result in a discontinuation or substantial reduction in distributions to our stockholders and unitholders, could reduce the cash available to pay interest and principal on debt securities and make further investments in real estate. 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.

The IRS, the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, and we cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new federal laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Additional changes to tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future and 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. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our properties. Stockholders and unitholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation, the status of legislative, regulatory, or administrative developments and proposals, and their potential effect on ownership of our shares.

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 (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding any net capital gain) to our stockholders each year and we may be subject to tax to the extent our taxable income is not fully distributed. 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.

We may pay some taxes.

Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to federal, state and local taxes on our income and property. From time to time changes in state and local tax laws or regulations are enacted, which may result in an increase in our tax liability. A shortfall in tax revenues for states and municipalities in which we operate may lead to an increase in the frequency and amount of such increase. These actions could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our TRSs will be subject to federal, state and local income tax for income received.

In the normal course of business, certain of our legal entities have undergone tax audits and may undergo audits in the future. There can be no assurance that future audits will not occur with increased frequency or that the ultimate result of such audits will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

General Risk Factors:

The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, may adversely affect our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and another pandemic in the future could cause, disruptions to regional and global economies and significant volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, could also have a material and adverse effect on our ability to successfully operate and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:

• reduced economic activity may severely impact our tenants' businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause certain of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations and/or terminate their leases early or not renew;

• delays to or halting of construction activities, including permitting and obtaining approvals, related to our ongoing development and redevelopment projects as well as tenant improvements;

• difficulty in accessing the capital and lending markets (or a significant increase in the costs of doing so), impacts to our credit ratings, a severe disruption or instability in the global financial markets, or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing debt obligations on a timely basis;

• our ability to meet the financial covenants of our Unsecured Credit Facility and other debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, and such non-compliance could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and pay dividends;

• any impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets which could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions;

• a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions could adversely affect our ability to sell or purchase properties, at attractive pricing or at all;

• an inability to initiate or pursue litigation due to various court closures, increased case volume and/or moratoriums on certain types of activities;

• the potential negative impact on the health of our employees, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during this disruption, or a future disruption, and may negatively impact our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting; and

• an extended period of remote work arrangements for our employees could strain our business continuity plans and introduce operational risk including, but not limited to, cybersecurity risks.

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 and security breaches. These could include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and computer systems through malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, persons inside our Company or persons with access to systems inside our Company, and other significant disruptions of our information technology networks and related systems.

The risk of a cybersecurity breach or disruption, particularly through a cyber-incident, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Although 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, periodic cyber dwelling reviews and annual penetration testing, even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed to not be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk.

Moreover, although we maintain some of our own critical information technology systems, we also depend on third parties to provide important information technology services relating to, for instance, payroll, electronic communications and certain finance functions. The security measures employed by such third party service providers may prove to be ineffective at preventing breaches of their systems.

A successful cybersecurity attack could, among other things:

•compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants and vendors;

•disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems, and therefore our operations and/or those of certain of our tenants;

•result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;

•result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants and/or missed reporting deadlines;

•result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT;

•require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;

•subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or

•damage our reputation among our tenants, investors and associates.

We may become subject to litigation.

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.

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.

Acts of violence, including terrorist attacks could occur in the localities in which we conduct business. More generally, 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.

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.

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, 2020, we owned 420 in-service industrial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 62.4 million square feet of GLA in 20 states, with a diverse base of more than 975 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses, including manufactured products, third-party logistics and transportation, retail and consumer services, food and beverage, lumber and building materials, e-commerce, wholesale goods, health services, governmental and other. Our in-service portfolio includes all properties that have reached stabilized occupancy (defined as properties that are 90% leased), (re)developed properties upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year from the date construction is completed and acquired properties that are at least 75% occupied at acquisition, unless we anticipate tenant move-outs within two years of ownership would drop occupancy below 75%. Acquired properties that are less than 75% occupied at acquisition or with tenants that we anticipate will move out within the first two years of ownership are placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year after move out. The average annual base rent per square foot for our in-service portfolio, calculated at December 31, 2020, was $5.65. 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: bulk warehouse, regional warehouse, light industrial and R&D/flex. 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. Individual properties may be reclassified over time due to changes in building characteristics such as tenant use and office space build-out.

The following describes, generally, the different industrial categories:

•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;

•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;

•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; and

•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.

The following tables summarize, by market, certain information as of December 31, 2020, with respect to the in-service properties.

Indebtedness

As of December 31, 2020, 49 of our 420 in-service industrial properties, with a net carrying value of $226.2 million, are pledged as collateral under our mortgage financings, totaling $144.2 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Schedule III beginning on page 95 for additional information.

Property Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we acquired eight industrial properties and 128.8 acres of land located in our Central Florida, Seattle, South Florida and Southern California markets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $224.0 million. The industrial properties were acquired at an expected stabilized 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 adjustments and above and below market lease amortization) and dividing it by the sum of the purchase price plus closing costs and estimated costs to stabilize the properties. The acquired industrial properties have the following characteristics:


Metropolitan Area	Number of Properties	GLA	Property Type	Occupancy at 12/31/20
Baltimore/Washington	2	751,074	Bulk Warehouse	93%
Northern California	4	125,442	Regional Warehouse, Light Industrial	65%
Phoenix, AZ	1	643,798	Bulk Warehouse	100%
Southern California	1	23,970	Light Industrial	0%
Total	8	1,544,284

Development Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we moved 10 development properties to our in-service portfolio at a total cost of approximately $221.7 million. Included in the total cost is $7.3 million of leasing commissions. The capitalization rate for these development projects, calculated using the estimated stabilized net operating income (excluding straight-line rent adjustments) divided by the total investment in the developed property is 7.2%. The placed in-service development projects have the following characteristics:


Metropolitan Area	Number of Properties	GLA	Property Type	Occupancy at 12/31/20
Dallas, TX	4	977,303	Bulk Warehouse	74%
Houston, TX	2	371,950	Bulk Warehouse	15%
Phoenix, AZ	1	643,798	Bulk Warehouse	100%
South Florida	1	103,356	Bulk Warehouse	100%
Southern California	2	430,196	Bulk Warehouse, Regional Warehouse	100%
Total	10	2,526,603

As of December 31, 2020, we substantially completed two developments totaling approximately 0.1 million square feet of GLA. The estimated total investment for the two developments is approximately $19.0 million, of which $18.3 million has been incurred as of December 31, 2020. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost for these developments will not exceed the estimated completion cost. The substantially completed developments have the following characteristics:

Total	2	144,268

As of December 31, 2020, we have eight development projects that are under construction totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet of GLA. The estimated total investment for the eight development projects under construction is $172.4 million, of which $80.4 million has been incurred as of December 31, 2020. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost for these developments will not exceed the estimated completion cost.

Property Sales

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold 29 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.9 million square feet of GLA, at a weighted average capitalization rate of 7.2%, for total gross sales proceeds of approximately $153.4 million. The capitalization rate for the 29 industrial property sales is calculated by taking revenues of the property (excluding straight-line rent adjustments, 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:


Metropolitan Area	Number of Properties	GLA	Property Type
Baltimore/Washington	1	300,000	Bulk Warehouse
Central/Eastern PA	2	98,189	Regional Warehouse, Light Industrial
Chicago, IL	1	34,252	Regional Warehouse

Total (C)	29	1,908,669

(A) Sale of three industrial condominium units within one industrial building are being counted as one property sale.

(B) Properties are located in Indianapolis, IN; Richland Center, WI; and Tampa, FL.

(C) Total excludes a property comprised of 0.6 million square feet of GLA in Phoenix, AZ that was recognized as a sale in 2019 due to the reclassification of the tenant's lease from an operating lease to a sales-type lease. The actual sale, in which title of the property transferred to the tenant, occurred in 2020 (see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Tenant and Lease Information

We have a diverse base of more than 975 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses including manufactured products, third-party logistics and transportation, retail and consumer services, food and beverage, lumber and building materials, e-commerce, wholesale goods, health services, governmental and other. At December 31, 2020, our leases have a weighted average lease length of 7.2 years and the majority 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, 2020, approximately 95.7% of the GLA of our in-service properties was leased, and no single tenant or group of related tenants accounted for more than 6.3% of our rent revenues, nor did any single tenant or group of related tenants occupy more than 5.2% 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, 2020. 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 (A)	Straight Line Basis Rent Growth (B)	Weighted Average Lease Term (C)	Lease Costs Per Square Foot (D)	Weighted Average Tenant Retention (E)
New Leases	87	2,533	$8.02	32.9%	5.0	$5.50	N/A

Total / Weighted Average	238	11,897	$6.63	29.7%	6.7	$3.01	76.8%

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

(B)Straight Line basis rent growth is a ratio of the change in net rent (including straight-line rent adjustments) on a new or renewal lease compared to the net rent (including straight-line rent adjustments) of the comparable lease. New leases where there were no prior comparable leases are excluded.

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

(D)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.

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

The following table provides a summary of our leases that commenced during the year ended December 31, 2020, which included rent concessions during the lease term.


	Number of Leases With Rent Concessions	Square Feet (in 000's)	Rent Concessions ($)
New Leases	64	1,631	$4,250
Renewal Leases	15	771	721
Development / Acquisition Leases	17	3,590	7,790
Total	96	5,992	$12,761

Lease Expirations

Fundamentals for the United States industrial real estate market remained favorable in 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic that impacted general economic activity during the year. Supply chain activity drove additional demand for space, particularly in the e-commerce segment which benefited from an increase in consumer adoption. New industrial space continued to be developed throughout the year in response to this growth in demand. In 2020, new supply exceeded incremental demand for the second consecutive year. In the fourth quarter, however, incremental demand exceeded new supply. National vacancy levels remained low and overall industry conditions resulted in an environment supportive of rental rate growth in virtually all of our markets. Based on our recent experience, low levels of vacancy generally throughout our markets, and the 2021 forecast of a leading national research company, we expect our average net rental rates for renewal leases on a cash basis to be higher than the expiring rates. For 2021, net rental rates for new leases on a cash basis on average are also expected to be higher than the comparative prior leases, primarily due to continued improvement in market conditions as compared to the conditions prevailing when the comparative leases were signed. The following table shows scheduled lease expirations for all signed leases in our in-service properties as of December 31, 2020.


Year of Expiration (A)	Number of Leases Expiring	GLA Expiring (B)	Percentage of GLA Expiring (B)	Annualized Base Rent Under Expiring Leases (In thousands) (C)	Percentage of Total Annualized Base Rent Expiring (C)

The Operating Partnership had 134 holders of record of 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 2020.

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, 2020, the Operating Partnership issued 464,975 Limited Partner Units in connection with the issuance of equity compensation to certain employees and directors. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

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, 2020, the Operating Partnership could satisfy its redemption obligations by making an aggregate cash payment of approximately $114.3 million or by issuing 2,713,142 shares of the Company's common stock.

(A)Funds from operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP measure used in the real estate industry. See definition and a complete reconciliation of FFO to Net Income Available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.'s Common Stockholders and Participating Securities under the caption "Supplemental Earnings Measure" under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."


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.

Summary of 2020

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, our operating results remained strong in 2020. Our year-end occupancy was 95.7% and during 2020 we grew cash rental rates by 13.5%, which is the second highest annual increase in our history. We collected 99% of our monthly rental billings from April through December of 2020. We granted $1.0 million of rent deferral requests during the year, all of which have now been collected. However, our accounts receivable reserves were higher than our bad debt experience over the past several years. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a reserve on accounts receivable (or did not recognize rental revenue due to converting certain tenants to cash basis) of $1.8 million and also recorded a reserve of $1.7 million related to our deferred rent receivables. During the first quarter of 2020, we temporarily suspended all new speculative vertical development projects other than completing development and redevelopment properties that were already in progress and expenditures required to obtain permits and other horizontal construction work. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we resumed speculative development activity in our target markets due to favorable market conditions. Although the impact of COVID-19 pandemic had an overall minimal impact on us in 2020, with the continued uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy we cannot predict the future impact the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our business, future financial condition and operating results.

In 2020, we completed the following significant activities:

•We acquired eight industrial properties comprised of approximately 1.5 million square feet of GLA located in our Baltimore/Washington, Northern California, Phoenix and Southern California markets for an aggregate purchase price of $154.4 million. These properties were 92% leased at December 31, 2020.

•We added to our development pipeline 128.8 acres of land located in our Central Florida, Seattle, South Florida and Southern California markets for an aggregate purchase price of $69.6 million.

•We placed in-service, 10 industrial properties comprising approximately 2.5 million square feet of GLA located in our Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Phoenix, South Florida and Southern California markets at an estimated total cost of $221.7 million. These properties were 79% leased at December 31, 2020.

•We commenced development for five development projects totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet of GLA at an estimated total investment of $135.3 million.

•We sold 29 industrial properties comprised of approximately 1.9 million square feet of GLA for total gross sales proceeds of $153.4 million. Included in these sales were our remaining industrial properties located in Indianapolis, IN and Tampa, FL.

•One of our joint ventures sold 93.5 acres of land and a newly constructed 0.6 million square foot building (of which we were the purchaser) located in Phoenix, AZ for gross proceeds of $60.0 million.

•We entered into a new joint venture through which we acquired, for a purchase price of $70.5 million, approximately 569 net developable acres of land located in Phoenix for the purpose of developing, leasing, and operating industrial properties and potentially selling land.

We completed the following financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2020:

•We issued 1,842,281 shares of our common stock, through "at-the-market" ("ATM") offerings, resulting in net proceeds of $78.7 million.

•We issued $100.0 million of ten-year private placement notes at a rate of 2.74% and $200.0 million of twelve-year private placement notes at a rate of 2.84%.

•We entered into a new unsecured term loan facility that refinanced our $200.0 million term loan facility previously scheduled to mature in January 2021. The new loan has an initial maturity of July 15, 2021 and includes two, one-year extension options at our election. The new loan provides for interest only payments and currently bears an interest rate based of LIBOR plus 150 basis points.

•We paid off $25.4 million in mortgage loans payable.

•We declared an annual cash dividend of $1.00 per common share or Unit, an increase of 8.7% from 2019.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2020 to Year Ended December 31, 2019

Our net income was $200.2 million and $243.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2019 and held as an in-service property through December 31, 2020 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2019. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service, unless we anticipate the tenants to move out within the first two years of ownership. 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 (defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development/redevelopment construction completion. Acquired properties with occupancy greater than 75% at acquisition, but with tenants that we anticipate will move out within two years of ownership, will be placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after move out. 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, 2018 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2020. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2018. (Re)Developments include developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2019; or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2019. Other revenues are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous revenues. Other property expenses are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, vacant land expenses and other miscellaneous regional expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, one industrial property, comprising approximately 0.1 million square feet of GLA, was taken out of service for redevelopment. As a result of taking this industrial property out of service, the results of operations related to this property were reclassified from the same store property classification to the (re)development classification. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we completed the redevelopment of this property and as of December 31, 2018, the property was 100% leased. This property returned to the same store classification in the first quarter 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, one industrial property, comprising approximately 28 thousand square feet of GLA, was taken out of service due to a fire which caused complete destruction of the building. The results of this property are included in the (re)development classification. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we completed the rebuild of this property and as of December 31, 2019, the property was 100% leased. This property will return to the same store classification in the first quarter 2021.

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

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the average occupancy rates of our same store properties were 97.1% and 97.7%, respectively.

Total Revenues	$	448,028	$	425,984	$	22,044	5.2	%

Revenues from same store properties increased $9.6 million primarily due to an increase in rental rates as well as tenant recoveries, offset by a decrease in occupancy and an increase in reserves taken on accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable amounts for tenants due to our assessment that full collection of future contractual lease payments was no longer probable. Revenues from acquired properties increased $6.4 million due to the 17 industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2018 totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $31.3 million due to the 69 industrial properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2018 totaling approximately 7.8 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments increased $27.8 million due to an increase in occupancy and tenant recoveries as well as $1.1 million of final insurance proceeds received and recorded as revenue related to a property that was destroyed by fire in 2016. Revenues from other increased $9.5 million primarily due to final insurance settlement proceeds of $5.4 million received and recorded as revenue related to a property that was destroyed by fire in 2017, the acquisition of partially occupied properties during 2018 that were not yet stabilized at December 31, 2018 and therefore are not yet included in the same store pool and the acquisition of a land site during 2019 on which we intend to develop industrial buildings in the future but currently are leasing to tenants and collecting ground lease rent.

Total Property Expenses	$	119,195	$	116,585	$	2,610	2.2	%

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other property related expenses. Property expenses from same store properties increased $2.1 million primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes and insurance, partially offset by a decrease in repairs and maintenance and snow removal costs. Property expenses from acquired properties increased $1.8 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2018. Property expenses from sold properties decreased $9.6 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2018. Property expenses from (re)developments increased $7.8 million primarily due to the substantial completion of developments. Property expenses from other increased $0.5 million primarily due to an increase in real estate tax expense on developable land and on a land site we acquired during 2019 on which we intend to develop industrial buildings in the future but currently we are leasing it to tenants and collecting ground lease rent and certain miscellaneous expenses, offset by a decrease in maintenance company expenses.

General and administrative expense increased by $4.3 million, or 15.0%, primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation as well as severance expense of $0.9 million associated with the closing of our Indianapolis regional office during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Total Depreciation and Other Amortization	$	129,638	$	121,229	$	8,409	6.9	%

Depreciation and other amortization from same store properties increased $2.6 million primarily due to accelerated depreciation and amortization taken during the year ended December 31, 2020 attributable the early termination of certain tenants' leases. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $3.4 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2018. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $8.2 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2018. Depreciation and other amortization from (re)developments increased $9.6 million primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization related to completed developments. Depreciation from corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment and other increased $1.0 million primarily due to depreciation related to properties acquired during 2018 that were not yet stabilized at December 31, 2018 and therefore are not yet included in the same store pool as well as depreciation on land improvements related to the acquisition of a land site during 2019. We intend to develop industrial buildings on such land site in the future, but we are currently leasing the property to tenants and collecting ground lease rent.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $86.8 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of 29 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.9 million square feet of GLA. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized $124.9 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of 40 industrial properties comprising approximately 5.9 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Included in the 40 industrial properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2019 was a gain related to the reclassification of an operating lease to a sales-type lease which was triggered by a tenant that exercised an option in its lease to purchase a 0.6 million square foot building from us located in the Phoenix market. The sale of this property occurred during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 2.0%, primarily due to an increase in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2020 ($1,593.5 million) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 ($1,397.6 million), offset by an increase in capitalized interest of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, as well as a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 (3.65%) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 (4.01%).

Amortization of debt issuance costs increased $0.2 million, or 6.5%, primarily due to debt issuance costs incurred related to the refinancing of a $200 million unsecured term loan in July 2020, the issuance of $150.0 million of private placement notes in July 2019 and the issuance of $300.0 million of private placement notes in September 2020.

Equity in income of Joint Ventures for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased $12.0 million, or 74.1% primarily due to a decrease in our pro-rata share of gain related to the sale of real estate and accrued incentive fees during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.

Income tax expense decreased $1.0 million, or 29.3%, primarily due to a decrease in our pro-rata share of gain from the sale of real estate by the Joint Ventures as well as accrued incentive fees we earned from the Joint Ventures. Our equity ownership in the Joint Ventures is owned through a wholly-owned TRS.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2019 to Year Ended December 31, 2018

A discussion of changes in our results of operations between 2019 and 2018 can be found in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2019 to Year Ended December 31, 2018" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies

A critical accounting policy is one that involves an estimate or assumption that is subjective and requires management judgment about the effect of a matter that is inherently uncertain and material to an entity's financial condition and results of operations. Of the significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we believe the the following policies relate to the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

•Acquisitions of Real Estate Assets: We allocate the purchase price of acquired real estate, including real estate acquired as a portfolio, based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consists of land, buildings, tenant improvements, construction in progress, leasing commissions and lease intangibles including in-place leases and above market and below market lease assets and liabilities. The purchase price is allocated to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The determination of fair value includes the use of significant assumptions such as land comparables, discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rent assumptions. Acquired above and below market lease intangibles are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rental rates and the in-pace rental rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases or the remaining term of the lease plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases. The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values based on an estimate of the lease revenue received during a reasonable lease-up period as if the property was vacant on the date of acquisition.

•Impairment of Real Estate Assets: We review our tangible and intangible real estate assets held for use for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The judgments regarding the existence of indicators of impairment are based on the operating performance, market conditions, as well as our ability to hold and our intent with regard to each property. The judgments regarding whether the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable are based on estimates of future undiscounted cash flows from properties which include estimates of future operating performance and market conditions. If any real estate investment is considered permanently impaired, a loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. The impairment assessment and fair value measurement requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to the timing and amounts of cash flow projections, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were approximately $162.1 million and $37.6 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 $724.6 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020.

We have considered our short-term (through December 31, 2021) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We have a $200.0 million term loan maturing in July 2021. In connection with this maturity, we have two, one-year extension options at our election, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Also, our Unsecured Credit Facility matures in October 2021; however, it is extendable for one year, at our election, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Lastly, we have $58.8 million in mortgage loans payable outstanding at December 31, 2020 maturing in October 2021. We expect to satisfy these payment obligations on or prior to the maturity dates by extending the term of the Unsecured Credit Facility and/or the $200.0 million term loan or through the issuance of other debt or equity securities. With the exception of the $200.0 million term loan, the Unsecured Credit Facility and the mortgage maturities, 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 other debt or equity securities, subject to market conditions or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

We expect to meet long-term (after December 31, 2021) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness, the disposition of select assets and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, subject to market conditions.

As of February 15, 2021, we had approximately $724.6 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, 2020, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants in 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch Ratings of BBB/Stable, Baa2/Stable and BBB/Stable, respectively. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. 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.

_______________

(A)Not on balance sheet.

(B)Represents estimated remaining payments on the completion of development projects under construction. Estimated remaining costs include all costs necessary to place the properties into service and could extend beyond one year.

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

(D)Represents fees on our Unsecured Credit Facility which has a contractual maturity in October 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2020, we had letters of credit and performance bonds outstanding amounting to $22.0 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 $0.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to environmental expenditures. We estimate 2021 expenditures of approximately $2.3 million which has been accrued at December 31, 2020. We estimate that the aggregate expenditures which need to be expended in 2021 and beyond with regard to currently identified environmental issues will not exceed approximately $5.0 million which has been accrued at December 31, 2020.

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, our leases have a weighted average lease length of 7.2 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.

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, 2020 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, 2020, $1,602.7 million or 100% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. At December 31, 2019, $1,332.9 million or 89.4% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. As of the same date, $158.0 million or 10.6% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable rate debt. Fixed rate debt for both years includes $460.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of derivative instruments.

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. 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, 2020 and 2019 would have increased by approximately $0.09 million and $0.23 million, respectively, based on our average outstanding floating-rate debt during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. 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 $5.7 million and $5.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $1,703.2 million and $1,554.7 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, 2020 and 2019, we had derivative instruments 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 (the "Term Loan Swaps"). We designated the Term Loan Swaps as cash flow hedges. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of these derivative instruments. 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 2020 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, FFO, 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 real estate assets, real estate asset depreciation and amortization and impairment of 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 as follows:

(A) In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the definition of FFO. The restated definition provides an option to include or exclude gains and losses as well as impairment of non-depreciable real estate if the sales are deemed incidental. Prior to January 1, 2019, we included gains and losses on sales and impairment of our non-depreciable real estate in our calculation of NAREIT FFO. On January 1, 2019 we adopted the restated definition of NAREIT FFO on a prospective basis and now exclude gains and losses on sales and impairment of our non-depreciable real estate that we deem incidental. We also exclude the same adjustments from our share of net income from unconsolidated joint ventures.

Same Store Net Operating Income

SS NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides a measure of rental operations and, as calculated by us, that does not factor in depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, interest expense, impairment charges, equity in income and loss from joint ventures, income tax benefit and expense, gains and losses on retirement of debt and gains and losses on the sale of real estate. 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 above/below market leases 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, 2020 and 2019.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2020		2019
	(In thousands)
Same Store Revenues	$	376,511	$	366,952
Same Store Property Expenses	(92,588)		(90,476)

Same Store Net Operating Income	$	281,235	$	269,267

Subsequent Events

From January 1, 2021 to February 15, 2021, we acquired two land parcels for a purchase price of approximately $9.8 million, excluding transaction costs. In addition, we sold one industrial property for approximately $0.7 million, excluding transaction costs.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 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.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Purchase Price Allocation

As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, upon acquisition of a property, management allocates 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, construction in progress, leasing commissions and lease intangibles including in-place lease assets and above market and below market lease assets and liabilities. The purchase price is allocated to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The determination of fair value for tangible assets includes the use of significant assumptions such as land comparables, discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rent assumptions. The Company acquired eight industrial properties for consideration of approximately $154.4 million, of which approximately $51.7 million was recorded to land and $97.1 million to buildings and improvements/construction in progress during the year ended December 31, 2020.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to purchase price allocation is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the fair value estimates, which resulted in a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating evidence relating to the fair value of land and building and improvements/construction in progress, including the significant assumptions related to land comparables, discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rent; and (ii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the purchase price allocations, including controls over the valuation methods and significant assumptions for the tangible assets, such as land comparables, discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rent. These procedures also included, among others, (i) reading the purchase and sales agreements and (ii) testing management’s process for determining the fair value of land and building and improvements/construction in progress, (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the fair value estimates, (iv) evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methods and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions related to land comparables, discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rent. Evaluating the significant assumptions relating to the land comparables, discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rent involved obtaining evidence to support the reasonableness of the assumptions, including whether the assumptions used were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit or third party market data. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in obtaining audit evidence over land comparables.

Basis for Opinions

Evaluating the significant assumptions relating to the land comparables, discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rent involved obtaining evidence to support the reasonableness of the assumptions, including whether the assumptions used were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit or third party market data.

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share and 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 97.9% and 98.1% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through eight other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the 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. The Company's noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 2.1% and 1.9% at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units"). The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership and/or recipients of RLP Units of the Operating Partnership (See Note 6) pursuant to the Company's Stock Incentive Plan.

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

As of December 31, 2020, we owned 427 industrial properties located in 20 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 62.8 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 427 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, 2020 and 2019 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 include the accounts and operating results of the Company and the Operating Partnership. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), 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, 2020 and 2019, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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. For purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows, changes in restricted cash are aggregated with cash and cash equivalents.

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 or asset group). The judgments regarding the existence of indicators of impairment are based on the operating performance, market conditions, as well as our ability to hold and our intent with regard to each property. 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. Estimated future net cash flows are based on estimates of future operating performance and market conditions. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property or group of properties, we will recognize an impairment loss based upon the estimated fair value of the property or group of properties. The assessment of fair value requires the use of estimates and assumptions relating to the timing and amounts of cash flow projections, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates.

We generally classify certain properties and related assets and liabilities as held for sale when the sale of an asset has been duly approved by management, a legally enforceable contract has been executed and the buyer's due diligence period, if any, has expired. At such time, the respective assets and liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets. Upon held for sale classification, we cease depreciation and value the properties at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose.

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. Interest is capitalized using the weighted average borrowing rate during the construction period.

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


			Years
Buildings and Improvements			7 to 50
Land Improvements			3 to 16
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment			3 to 5
Tenant Improvements			Lease Term

Construction expenditures for tenant improvements, leasehold improvements and leasing commissions (inclusive of incentive compensation costs of personnel directly attributable to executed leases) are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized.

Upon acquisition of a 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, construction in progress, leasing commissions and lease intangibles including in-place lease assets and above market and below market lease assets and liabilities. 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. The determination of fair value includes the use of significant assumptions such as land comparables, discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rent assumptions. Acquired above and below market lease intangibles are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rental rates and the in-place rental rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases or the remaining term of the lease plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases. The value of above and below market lease intangibles, which are included as assets or liabilities in the line item Deferred Leasing Intangibles, Net are amortized as an increase or decrease to rental revenue over the remaining initial lease term, plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values based on an estimate of the lease revenue received during a reasonable lease-up period as if the property was vacant on the date of acquisition. The value of in-place lease intangibles, which are included in the line item Deferred Leasing Intangibles, Net are amortized over the remaining initial lease term (including expected renewal periods) 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 intangibles and the in-place lease value is immediately accelerated and fully amortized on the date of the termination.

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. Our typical acquisitions consist of properties whereby substantially all the fair value or gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (land, building, construction in progress and in-place leases) and, therefore, will be accounted for as asset acquisitions, which permits the capitalization of transaction costs to the basis of the acquired property.

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


	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
In-Place Leases	$	18,253	$	20,188
Above Market Leases	1,948		2,197
Below Market Ground Lease Obligation	1,552		1,597
Tenant Relationships	3,458		4,551
Total Included in Total Assets, Net of $24,781 and $29,541 of Accumulated Amortization	$	25,211	$	28,533
Below Market Leases	$	11,064	$	11,893
Total Included in Total Liabilities, Net of $13,849 and $13,045 of Accumulated Amortization	$	11,064	$	11,893

Amortization expense related to in-place leases and tenant relationships was $8,201, $6,303 and $6,267 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Lease revenue increased by $1,962, $1,281 and $1,095 related to net amortization of above and below market leases. We will recognize net amortization expense related to deferred leasing intangibles over the next five years, for properties owned as of December 31, 2020 as follows:


	Estimated Amortization of In-Place Leases and Tenant Relationships		Estimated Net Increase to Rental Revenues Related to Above and Below Market Leases
2021	$	4,210	$	1,443
2022	$	3,717	$	1,353
2023	$	3,283	$	1,101
2024	$	2,562	$	1,120
2025	$	1,996	$	1,029

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance 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. Unamortized debt issuance costs are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date. Debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the respective debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, except for the debt issuance costs related to the unsecured credit facility which are included in the line item Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net on the consolidated balance sheets.

Investment in Joint Ventures

Investment in joint ventures represents a noncontrolling equity interest in two joint ventures. We have determined to account for our investment in the 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 ("VIEs"). Under the equity method of accounting, our share of earnings or losses of the joint ventures is reflected in income as earned and contributions or distributions increase or decrease our investment in joint ventures as paid or received, respectively. Differences between our carrying value of our investment in the joint ventures and our underlying equity in such joint ventures are amortized and included as an adjustment to our equity in income (loss).

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of our investment in the joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if our estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the value of the investment.

Noncontrolling Interests

Limited Partner Units are reported within Partners' Capital in the Operating Partnership's balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 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, 2020, 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.

Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own a 43% interest in a joint venture that is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Our ownership interest in the joint venture is held through a partnership ("Joint Venture II Partnership") with a third party. We concluded that we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Joint Venture II Partnership. As a result, we consolidate the Joint Venture II Partnership, which holds an aggregate 49% interest in Joint Venture II (as defined in Note 5) and reflect the third party's interest in the joint venture as Noncontrolling Interests within the financial statements of the Company and Operating Partnership. See Note 5.

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 period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally the vesting period.

Revenue Recognition

We lease our properties to tenants under agreements that are classified as leases. We recognize, as rental income, the total minimum lease payments under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance, and other property operating expenses are recovered from our tenants and recognized as tenant recovery revenue in the same period we incur the related expenses. As the timing and straight-line pattern of transfer to the lessee for rental revenue and the associated rental recoveries are the same and our leases qualify as operating leases, we account for the present rental revenue and tenant recovery revenue as a single component under Lease Revenue.

We assess the collectibility of lease receivables (including future minimum rental payments) both at commencement and throughout the lease term. If we conclude that collection of lease payments is not probable at lease commencement, we will recognize lease payments only as they are received. If our assessment of collectibility changes during the lease term, any difference between the revenue that would have been received under the straight-line method and the lease payments that have been collected will be recognized as a current period adjustment to Lease Revenue and revenue will subsequently be accounted for on a cash basis until such time that collection of future rent is deemed probable.

If a lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether we or the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements. 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 as revenue 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.

Property Expenses

Property expenses include real estate taxes, utilities, repairs and maintenance, property insurance as well as the cost of our property management personnel and other costs of managing our properties. We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification 842 ("ASC 842") Leases effective January 1, 2019. The standard required lessors to exclude from variable payments recorded in lease revenues certain lessor costs, such as real estate taxes, that the lessor contractually requires the lessee to pay directly to a third party on its behalf. Several of our leases require tenants to pay real estate taxes directly to taxing authorities. For periods prior to January 1, 2019, we recorded these payments in the line item Property Expenses with an offset in the line item Lease Revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, $7,517 of these payments are included in the aforementioned line items.

Lessee Accounting

We are a lessee on a limited number of ground and office leases and these operating lease agreements are included within Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets ("ROU") and Operating Lease Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. We elected the practical expedient to combine our lease and related nonlease components for our lessee building leases. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our variable lease payments consist of nonlease services related to the lease. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets also include any future minimum lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Many of our lessee agreements include options to extend the lease, which we do not include in our minimum lease terms unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate

Asset sales are generally recognized when control of the asset being sold is transferred to the buyer. As the assets are sold, their costs and related accumulated depreciation, if any, are derecognized with resulting gains or losses reflected in net income. 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.

When leases contain purchase options, we assess the probability that the tenant will execute the purchase option both at lease commencement or at the time the tenant communicates their intent to execute the purchase option. If we determine the execution of the purchase option is likely, we will account for the lease as a sales-type lease and derecognize the associated real estate assets on our balance sheet and record a gain or loss on sale.

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, certain activities that we undertake may be conducted by entities which have elected to be treated as a TRS. TRSs are subject to both federal, state and local income taxes. A benefit or provision has been made for federal, state and local income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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

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

We use the two-class method of computing earnings per common share or Unit, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Basic net income per common share or Unit is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders or Unitholders by the weighted average number of common shares or Units outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share or Unit is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders 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.

Derivative Financial Instruments

During the normal course of business, we have used derivative instruments for the purpose of managing interest rate risk on anticipated offerings of long term debt. Receipts or payments that result from the settlement of derivative instruments 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 is included in interest expense. Receipts or payments resulting from derivative instruments used to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt are recognized as a component of interest expense.

To qualify for hedge accounting, derivative instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge. In addition, at inception of a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship, the underlying transaction or transactions, must be, and are expected to remain, probable of occurring in accordance with our related assertions. We recognize all derivative instruments in the line items Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net or Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated in hedging relationships or that do not meet the criteria of hedge accounting are recognized in earnings. For derivative instruments designated in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, changes in fair value related to the effective portion of the derivative instruments are recognized in the line item Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), whereas changes in fair value of the ineffective portion are recognized in earnings. If it is determined that a derivative instrument ceases to be highly effective as a hedge, or that it is probable the underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, we discontinue its cash flow hedge accounting prospectively and records the appropriate adjustment to earnings based on the current fair value of the derivative instrument. The credit risks associated with derivative instruments 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 the derivative instruments, our exposure is limited to the fair value of agreements, not the notional amounts.

Fair Value

GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value based on observable and unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions of pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. We estimate fair value using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three broad levels:

•Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

•Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability; and

•Level 3 - unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists for the asset or liability.

Our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that we would realize on disposition.

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 Adopted

In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Question-and-Answer ("Q&A") to clarify whether lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 require the application of the lease modification guidance under the new lease standard, which we adopted on January 1, 2019. Under the new leasing standard, an entity would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant, which would be accounted for under the lease modification framework, or if the lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations that existed in the original lease, which would be accounted for outside the lease modification framework. The Q&A provides entities with the option to elect to account for lease concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations existed in the original lease as long as the total cash flows from the modified lease are substantially similar to the cash flows in the original lease. We have elected this option and, to the extent that a rent concession is granted as a deferral of payments but total payments are substantially the same, we will account for the concession as if no change has been made to the original lease.

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020		2019		2018
Number of Industrial Properties Sold (A)	29		40		53
GLA (in millions)(B)	1.9		5.9		2.6
Gross Proceeds from the Sale of Real Estate (B)	$	153,351	$	315,768	$	192,047
Gain on Sale of Real Estate (B)	$	86,751	$	124,942	$	81,600

(A) Included as one industrial property for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is the sale of multiple industrial condominium units.

(B) Gross proceeds and gain on sale of real estate include the sale of several land parcels for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. In addition, included in the above table for the year ended December 31, 2019, is 0.6 million square feet of GLA, gross proceeds of $54,521 and gain on sale of $8,606 related to the reclassification of a lease from an operating lease to a sales-type lease that was recorded as a lease receivable as of December 31, 2019 and collected during 2020. See Note 10 for additional information.

Impairment Charges

The impairment charges of $2,756 recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018 were due to marketing one industrial property and one land parcel for sale and our assessment of the likelihood and timing of a potential sale transaction. The fair market values were determined using third party offers. Valuations based on third party offers included bona fide contract prices and letter of intent amounts that we believe were indicative of fair value and fall into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The property and the land parcel for which impairment was recorded were sold later during the year ended December 31, 2018.

(B) The maturity date may be extended an additional year at our election, subject to certain restrictions. Amounts exclude unamortized debt issuance costs of $1,049 and $2,300 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which are included in the line item Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we paid off mortgage loans in the amount of $25,448 and $117,199, respectively. In connection with mortgage loans paid off during the years ended December 31, 2018, we recognized $39 within the line item Loss from Retirement of Debt representing the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs offset by the write off of an unamortized premium.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we assumed a mortgage loan in the amount of $11,654 in conjunction with the acquisition of three industrial properties, totaling approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA. The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.17%, principal payments are amortized over 30 years and the loan matures in August 2028.

As of December 31, 2020, mortgage loans payable are collateralized, and in some instances cross-collateralized, by industrial properties with a net carrying value of $226,182. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans as of December 31, 2020.

Senior Unsecured Notes, Net

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Operating Partnership issued $100,000 of 2.74% Series F Guaranteed Senior Notes Due September 17, 2030 (the "2030 II Private Placement Notes") and $200,000 of 2.84% Series G Guaranteed Senior Notes due September 17, 2032 (the "2032 Private Placement Notes") in a private placement pursuant to a Note and Guaranty Agreement dated July 7, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership issued $150,000 of 3.97% Series E Guaranteed Senior Notes Due July 23, 2029 (the "2029 II Private Placement Notes") in a private placement pursuant to a Note and Guaranty Agreement dated May 16, 2019.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Operating Partnership issued $150,000 of 3.86% Series C Guaranteed Senior Notes due February 15, 2028 (the "2028 Private Placement Notes") and $150,000 of 3.96% Series D Guaranteed Senior Notes due February 15, 2030 (the "2030 Private Placement Notes") in a private placement pursuant to a Note and Guaranty Agreement dated December 12, 2017.

The 2028 Private Placement Notes, the 2029 Private Placement Notes, the 2029 II Private Placement Notes, the 2030 Private Placement Notes, the 2030 II Private Placement Notes and the 2032 Private Placement Notes (together with senior notes issued in a private placement in prior years, the "Private Placement Notes") are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and require semi-annual interest payments.

Unsecured Term Loans, Net

On September 11, 2015, we entered into a seven-year, $260,000 unsecured loan (the "2015 Unsecured Term Loan") with a syndicate of financial institutions. At December 31, 2020, the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan requires interest only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 110 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.

On July 15, 2020, we entered into a $200,000 unsecured term loan (the "2020 Unsecured Term Loan") which replaced a seven-year, $200,000 unsecured loan that was previously scheduled to mature in January 2021. The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan, together with the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan, the "Unsecured Term Loans"). The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan matures on July 15, 2021, however, we have two, one-year extension options at our election, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. We intend to refinance the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan prior to its maturity or exercise the one-year extension. The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan allows us to request incremental term loans in an aggregate amount equal to $100,000 and provides for interest-only payments initially at LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The interest rate on the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan is subject to adjustment based on our investment grade rating. As noted in Note 12, we entered into the 2021 Swaps to effectively convert the rate applicable under the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan to a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.49% per annum based on the current LIBOR spread beginning in February 2021.

Unsecured Credit Facility

As of December 31, 2020, we have a $725,000 revolving credit agreement (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"). We may request that the borrowing capacity under the Unsecured Credit Facility be increased to $1,000,000, subject to certain restrictions. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures on October 29, 2021, with an option to extend an additional one year at our election, subject to certain restrictions. We intend to refinance the Unsecured Credit Facility prior to its maturity or exercise the one-year extension. The interest rate on the Unsecured Credit Facility varies based on our leverage ratio. At December 31, 2020, the Unsecured Credit Facility provides for interest only payments at LIBOR plus 110 basis points.

Indebtedness

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


	Amount
2021	$	261,891
2022	332,024
2023	321
2024	335
2025	349
Thereafter	1,007,865
Total	$	1,602,785

The Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans, the Private Placement Notes 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, the Private Placement Notes and indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2020. 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, 2020 and 2019, the fair value of our indebtedness was as follows:


	December 31, 2020				December 31, 2019
	Carrying Amount (A)		Fair Value		Carrying Amount (A)		Fair Value
Mortgage Loans Payable, Net	$	144,214	$	148,770	$	174,360	$	179,287
Senior Unsecured Notes, Net	998,506		1,096,262		698,500		756,351
Unsecured Term Loans	460,000		458,207		460,000		460,902
Unsecured Credit Facility	—		—		158,000		158,141
Total	$	1,602,720	$	1,703,239	$	1,490,860	$	1,554,681

(A) The carrying amounts include unamortized premiums and/or discounts and exclude unamortized debt issuance costs.

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 rates, as advised by our bankers, 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. Variable Interest Entities

The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities ("VIEs") of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary, thus causing the Other Real Estate Partnerships to be consolidated by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Operating Partnership is a VIE of the Company and the Company is the primary beneficiary.

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


	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019

Joint Ventures

Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own a 49% interest in a joint venture with a third party partner for the purpose of developing, leasing, operating and potentially selling land located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area ("Joint Venture I").

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we entered into a second joint venture with third party partners for the purpose of developing, leasing, operating and potentially selling land located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area (Joint Venture II" and together with Joint Venture I, collectively, the "Joint Ventures"). The purchase price of the land was $70,530 and was acquired by Joint Venture II via cash equity contributions from us and our joint venture partners. Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own 43% interest in Joint Venture II. See Note 6.

Net income of the Joint Ventures for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $13,568 and $29,999, respectively. Included in net income during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is gain on sale of real estate of $13,932 and $30,236, respectively. Our economic share of the gain on sale for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, is $6,827 and $14,816, respectively. However, during the year ended December 31, 2020 we acquired a newly constructed 0.6 million square foot building from Joint Venture I and during the year ended December 31, 2019 we purchased 39 net developable acres, from Joint Venture I. Accordingly, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we netted our portion of gain on sale pertaining to both sales of $3,443 and $3,121, respectively, against the basis of the real estate acquired.

Under the operating agreements for each of the Joint Ventures, we act as the managing member of each Joint Venture and are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, development, construction supervision, disposition and asset management services to each Joint Venture. In addition, the operating agreements of each Joint Venture provide us the ability to earn an incentive fee based on the ultimate financial performance of each Joint Venture. The incentive fee is calculated using a hypothetical liquidation basis assuming the remaining net assets of each Joint Venture are distributed at book value. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized incentive fees of $2,674 and $4,880, respectively, for Joint Venture I. These fees are recorded in the Equity In Income of Joint Ventures line item in the consolidated statements of operations except for $1,338 of an incentive fee that we netted against the basis of the real estate that we purchased from Joint Venture I during the year ended December 31, 2020.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized fees of $590 and $146, respectively, from the Joint Ventures related to asset management and development services we provided to the Joint Ventures. These fees are recorded in the Other Revenue line item in the consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had a receivable from the Joint Ventures of $90 and $588, respectively.

As part of our assessment of the appropriate accounting treatment for the Joint Ventures, we reviewed the operating agreements of each Joint Venture in order to determine our rights and the rights of our joint venture partners, including whether those rights are protective or participating. Each operating agreement contains certain protective rights, such as the requirement of both members' approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and to pay capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget. However, we and our Joint Venture partners jointly (i) approve the annual budget, (ii) approve certain expenditures, (iii) review and approve the Joint Venture's tax return before filing and (iv) approve each lease at a developed property. We consider the latter rights substantive participation rights that result in shared, joint power over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of each Joint Venture. As such, we concluded to account for our investments in each Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.

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

Noncontrolling Interest of the Company

The equity positions of various individuals and entities that contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Limited Partner Units, as well as the equity positions of the holders of Limited Partner Units issued in connection with the grant of restricted limited partner Units ("RLP Units") pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan, are collectively referred to as the “Noncontrolling Interests.” An RLP Unit is a class of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership that is structured as a “profits interest” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is an award that is granted under our Stock Incentive Plan (see Note 11). Generally, RLP Units entitle the holder to receive distributions from the Operating Partnership that are equivalent to the dividends and distributions that would be made with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such RLP Units, though receipt of such distributions may be delayed or made contingent on vesting. Once an RLP Unit has vested and received allocations of book income sufficient to increase the book capital account balance associated with such RLP Unit (which will initially be zero) equal to, on a per-unit basis, the book capital account balance associated with a “common” Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership, it automatically becomes a common Limited Partner Unit that is convertible by the holder into one share of Common Stock or a cash equivalent, at the Company’s option. Net income is allocated to the Noncontrolling Interests based on the weighted average ownership percentage during the period.

Noncontrolling Interest - Joint Venture II

Our ownership interest in Joint Venture II is held through the Joint Venture II Partnership with a third party. We concluded that we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Joint Venture II Partnership. As a result, we consolidate Joint Venture II Partnership and reflect the third party's interest in Joint Venture II as Noncontrolling Interests.

Operating Partnership Units

The Operating Partnership has issued General Partner Units and Limited Partner 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 as well as through the issuance of RLP Units. Subject to certain lock-up periods, holders of Limited Partner Units can redeem their Units by providing written notification to the General Partner. 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, 2020, the Operating Partnership could satisfy its redemption obligations by making an aggregate cash payment of approximately $114,305 or by issuing 2,713,142 shares of the Company's common stock.

Preferred Stock or General Partner Preferred Units

The Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no preferred shares or general partner preferred Units outstanding.

(A) During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued 4,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock in an underwritten public offering. Proceeds to the Company, net of the underwriter's discount, were $145,584. The proceeds were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units and are reflected in the Operating Partnership's financial statements as a general partner contribution.

(B) For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, 172,610, 485,516 and 1,350,721 Limited Partner Units, respectively, were converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Company, resulting in a reclassification of $2,090, $7,196 and $16,605, respectively, of noncontrolling interest to the Company's equity.

(C) During the year ended December 31, 2018, 33,333 Limited Partner Units were forfeited by a unitholder and were retired by the Operating Partnership.

(D) During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 1,842,281 shares of the Company's common stock under the ATM Program. The proceeds were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units and are reflected in the Operating Partnership's financial statements as a general partner contribution.

ATM Program

On February 14, 2020, we entered into distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell up to 14,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $500,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings (the "2020 ATM Program"). Under the terms of the 2020 ATM Program, sales are to be made through transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or sales made through privately negotiated transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2020 we issued 1,842,281 shares of the Company's common stock under the ATM which resulted in $78,718 of proceeds, which is net of the payment of compensation to certain sales agents of $795. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock through ATM offerings.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Income) Loss Components	Year Ended December 31, 2020		Year Ended December 31, 2019		Year Ended December 31, 2018		Affected Line Items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations
Derivative Instruments:
Amortization of Previously Settled Derivative Instruments	410		233		96		Interest Expense
Net Settlement Payments (Receipts) to our Counterparties	6,516		(1,217)		109		Interest Expense
Acceleration of 2020 Swap (as defined in Note 12)	201		—		—		General & Administrative
	$	7,127	$	(984)	$	205	Total

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 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 $410 into net income by increasing interest expense for derivative instruments we settled in previous periods. Additionally, recurring settlement payments or receipts related to the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps (as defined in Note 12) will also be reclassified to interest expense. See Note 12 for more information about our derivatives.

At December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, participating securities for the Company include 211,920, 296,371 and 405,436, respectively, of Service Awards (see Note 11), which participate in non-forfeitable distributions. At December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, participating securities for the Operating Partnership include 444,407, 421,928 and 405,436, respectively, of Service Awards and certain Performance Awards (see Note 11), which participate in non-forfeitable distributions. Under the two class method, participating security holders are allocated income, in proportion to total weighted average shares or Units outstanding, based upon the greater of net income or common stock dividends or Unit distributions declared.

9. Income Taxes

Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the operations of our TRSs, which are not entitled to the dividends paid deduction and are subject to federal, state and local income taxes on its taxable income. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company qualified as a REIT and incurred no federal income tax expense; accordingly, the only federal income taxes included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements relate to activities of our TRSs. The components of the income tax (provision) benefit for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is comprised of the following:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2020		2019		2018
Current:
Federal	$	(3,659)	$	(169)	$	22
State	(1,718)		(839)		(310)

Deferred:

Federal	2,969		(2,334)		400
State	—		(64)		(20)

Total Income Tax (Provision) Benefit	$	(2,408)	$	(3,406)	$	92

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, 2020, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. and various states. The statute of limitations for income tax returns is generally three years. As such, our tax returns that are subject to examination would be primarily from 2017 and thereafter. There were no material interest or penalties recorded for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Federal Income Tax Treatment of Common Dividends

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the dividends paid to the Company's common shareholders per common share for income tax purposes were characterized as follows:


	2020		As a Percentage of Distributions		2019		As a Percentage of Distributions		2018		As a Percentage of Distributions
Ordinary Income (A)	$	0.5800	58.00	%	$	0.7650	83.15	%	$	0.6858	78.83	%
Unrecaptured Section 1250 Capital Gain	0.2576		25.76	%	0.1074		11.68	%	0.1497		17.21	%
Other Capital Gain	0.1624		16.24	%	0.0460		5.00	%	0.0330		3.79	%
Qualified Dividend	—		0.00	%	0.0016		0.17	%	0.0015		0.17	%

	$	1.0000	100.00	%	$	0.9200	100.00	%	$	0.8700	100.00	%

(A) For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Code Section 199A dividend is equal to the total ordinary income dividend.

The income tax characterization of dividends to common shareholders is based on the calculation of Taxable Earnings and Profits, as defined in the Code. Taxable Earnings and Profits differ from regular taxable income due primarily to differences in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and in the recognition of gains and losses on the sale of real estate assets.

10. Leases

Lessee Disclosures

We are a lessee on a limited number of ground and office leases (the "Operating Leases"). Our office leases have remaining lease terms of one year to six years and our ground leases have remaining terms of 34 years to 51 years. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $3,093 of operating lease expense, inclusive of short-term and variable lease costs which are not significant.

The following is a schedule of the maturities of operating lease liabilities for the next five years as of December 31, 2020, and thereafter:


2021	$	2,544
2022	2,576
2023	2,411
2024	2,194
2025	2,058
Thereafter	58,818
Total Lease Payments	70,601
Less Imputed Interest (A)	(47,775)
Total	$	22,826

(A) Calculated using the discount rate for each lease.

As of December 31, 2020, our weighted average remaining lease term for the Operating Leases is 39.6 years and the weighted average discount rate is 7.1%.

A number of the Operating Leases include options to extend the lease term. For purposes of determining our lease term, we excluded periods covered by an option since it was not reasonably certain at lease commencement that we would exercise the options.

Lessor Disclosures

Our properties and certain land parcels are leased to tenants and classified as operating leases. Future minimum rental receipts, excluding variable payments and tenant reimbursements of expenses, under non-cancelable operating leases executed as of December 31, 2020 are approximately as follows:


2021	$	333,405
2022	305,971
2023	262,228
2024	221,594
2025	183,186
Thereafter	537,189
Total	$	1,843,573

Several of our operating leases include options to extend the lease term and/or to purchase the building. For purposes of determining the lease term and lease classification, we exclude these extension periods and purchase options unless it is reasonably certain at lease commencement that the option will be exercised.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, a tenant exercised its lease option to purchase a 0.6 million square foot building located in our Phoenix market. The option included a fixed purchase price and an expected closing date in August 2020. At the time the tenant exercised the option, we reassessed the lease classification of this lease and, based on various qualitative factors, we determined that it was reasonably certain the tenant would close on the acquisition of the building. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2019, we reclassified the lease from an operating lease to a sales-type lease, which resulted in a gain on sale of $8,606. Additionally, we derecognized the net book value of the property and recorded a lease receivable of $54,521 which represented the discounted present value of the remaining lease payments and the fixed purchase option price. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we closed on the sale of the property.

11. Long-Term Compensation

Equity Based Compensation

The Company maintains a stock incentive plan which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors for which officers, certain employees and the Company's independent directors are eligible to participate in (the "Stock Incentive Plan"). Among other forms of allowed awards, awards made under the Stock Incentive Plan during the three years ended December 31, 2020 have been in the form of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance share awards and RLP Units (as defined in Note 6). 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, 2020, awards covering 3.3 million shares of common stock were available to be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, each RLP Unit counts as one share of common stock for purposes of calculating the limit on shares that may be issued.

Awards with Performance Measures

During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted 59,263, 36,064, and 179,288 performance units ("Performance Units"), respectively to certain employees. In addition, the Company granted 322,477 and 166,942 RLP Units, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, with the same performance-based criteria as the Performance Units ("Performance RLP Units" and, together with the Performance Units, collectively the "Performance Awards") to certain employees. A portion of the Performance Awards issued in 2020 vest based upon the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the TSRs of the FTSE Nareit All Equity Index and the remainder vests based upon the TSR of the Company’s common stock compared to nine other peer industrial real estate companies. A portion of the Performance Awards issued in 2019 and 2018 vest based upon the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the TSRs of the FTSE Nareit All Equity Index and the remainder vests based upon the TSR of the Company’s common stock compared to the MSCI US REIT Index. The performance periods for such awards are one year, two years and three years. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the applicable vesting period for the Performance Awards. At the end of the measuring period, vested Performance Units convert into shares of common stock. The participant is also entitled to dividend equivalents for shares and RLP units issued pursuant to vested Performance Awards. The Operating Partnership issues General Partner Units to the Company in the same amounts for vested Performance Units.

The Performance Awards issued for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, had fair value of $7,883, $2,527, and $2,381, respectively. The fair values were determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on Monte Carlo simulations using the following assumptions:


	Year Ended December 31, 2020		Year Ended December 31, 2019		Year Ended December 31, 2018
Expected dividend yield	2.22	%	3.02	%	2.67	%
Expected volatility - range used	16.25% - 17.56%		18.53% - 19.72%		15.83% - 17.87%
Expected volatility - weighted average	16.97	%	19.10	%	17.02	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.63% - 1.68%		2.45% - 2.57%		1.57% - 2.04%

Performance Award transactions for the year ended December 31, 2020 are summarized as follows:


	Performance Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Performance RLP Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2019	380,722	$	12.89	156,702	$	12.45
Issued	59,263	$	20.65	322,477	$	20.65
Forfeited	(5,681)	$	13.67	—	$	—
Vested	(178,211)	$	12.62	—	$	—
Outstanding at December 31, 2020	256,093	$	14.86	479,179	$	17.97

Service Based Awards

During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company awarded 80,387, 109,353, and 227,059 of restricted stock units or and restricted stock shares ("Service Units"), respectively, to certain employees and outside directors. In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company awarded 119,596 and 112,428 RLP Units, respectively, ("Service RLP Units" and, together with the Service Units, collectively the "Service Awards") to certain employees and outside directors. The fair value is based on the Company's stock price on the date such awards were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Service Awards granted to employees were based upon the prior achievement of certain corporate performance goals and generally vest ratably over a period of three years based on continued employment. Service Awards granted to outside directors vest after one year. The Operating Partnership issued restricted Unit awards to the Company in the same amount for the restricted stock units. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the Service Awards.

The Service Awards issued for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 had fair value of $8,641, $7,627 and $6,558, respectively. Service Award transactions for the year ended December 31, 2020 are summarized as follows:


	Service Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Service RLP Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2019	296,371	$	30.56	110,640	$	33.64
Issued	80,387	$	43.61	119,596	$	42.94
Forfeited	(4,009)	$	33.86	(1,967)	$	35.58
Vested	(160,829)	$	29.37	(43,700)	$	33.73
Outstanding at December 31, 2020	211,920	$	36.35	184,569	$	39.62

Compensation Expense Related to Long-Term Compensation

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized $12,931, $8,376 and $7,586, respectively, in compensation expense related to Performance Awards and Service Awards. Performance Award and Service Award compensation expense capitalized in connection with development activities was $2,030, $870 and $472 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At December 31, 2020, we had $12,741 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested Performance Awards and Service Awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 0.85 years.

Retirement Eligibility

Commencing January 1, 2020, all award agreements issued underlying Performance Awards and Service Awards contain a retirement benefit for employees with at least 10 years of continuous service and that are at least 60 years old. For employees that meet the age and service eligibility requirements, their awards are non-forfeitable. As such, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we expensed 100% of the awards granted to retirement-eligible employees at the grant date as if fully vested. For employees who will meet the age and service eligibility requirements during the normal vesting periods, the grants are amortized over the shorter service period.

401(k) Plan

Under the Company's 401(k) Plan, all eligible employees may participate by making voluntary contributions, and we may make, but are not required to make, matching contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, total expense related to matching contributions was $977, $926 and $688, respectively.

12. Derivative Instruments

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 these objectives, we primarily use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Derivative instruments 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 each Unsecured Term Loan (see Note 4), we entered into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in the one-month LIBOR rate. We have four interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $200,000, that fix the one-month LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 2.29% and mature on January 29, 2021 (the "2014 Swaps"), six interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $260,000, that fix the one-month LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.79% and mature on September 12, 2022 (the "2015 Swaps") and three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200,000, that fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 0.99% that are effective commencing February 1, 2021 and mature on February 2, 2026 (the "2021 Swaps"). We designated the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps and the 2021 Swaps as cash flow hedges.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap to manage our exposure to changes in the one-month LIBOR rate related to our Unsecured Credit Facility (the "2020 Swap"). The 2020 Swap commenced April 1, 2020, matures on April 1, 2021, has a notional value of $150,000 and fixes the one-month LIBOR rate at 0.42%. We initially designated the 2020 Swap as a cash flow hedge. During the year ended December 31, 2020, however, we accelerated the reclassification of the fair value of the 2020 Swap from other comprehensive income to earnings since the hedged forecasted transaction is no longer expected to be probable to occur. The accelerated loss recorded on the 2020 Swap for the year ended December 31, 2020 was not significant.

The following table sets forth our financial liabilities related to the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap and the 2021 Swaps, which are included in the line item Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using:

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain certain cross-default provisions that may be triggered in the event that our other indebtedness is in default, subject to certain thresholds. As of December 31, 2020, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If we had breached these agreements, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value.

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, or the 2021 Swaps during the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note 7 for more information regarding our derivatives.

The estimated fair value of the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap and the 2021 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 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap and the 2021 Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

13. Related Party Transactions

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Operating Partnership had receivable balances of $9,380 and $10,031, respectively, from a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

14. 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, 2020, we had outstanding letters of credit and performance bonds in the aggregate amount of $22,013.

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, 2020, we had eight industrial properties totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet of GLA under construction. The estimated total investment associated with these properties, as of December 31, 2020, is approximately $172,400 (unaudited). Of this amount, approximately $92,000 (unaudited) remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost associated with these properties will not exceed the estimated total investment.

15. Subsequent Events

From January 1, 2021 to February 15, 2021, we acquired two land parcels for a purchase price of $9,800, excluding transaction costs. In addition, we sold one industrial property for $675, excluding transaction costs.
