COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 Pandemic

Our business has been adversely affected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the preventive measures taken to curb the spread of the virus. Some of the effects on us include the following:

•With the exception of grocery stores and other "essential" businesses, many of our retail tenants closed their stores in March 2020 and began reopening when New York City entered phase two of its state-mandated reopening plan on June 22, 2020, which required limitations on occupancy and other restrictions that affected their ability to resume full operations. On June 15, 2021, New York State lifted the limitations and restrictions, however, economic conditions and other factors, including limitations on international travel, continue to adversely affect the financial health of our retail tenants.

•While our buildings are open, many of our office tenants are working remotely.

•We temporarily closed the Hotel Pennsylvania on April 1, 2020 and on April 5, 2021, we announced that we permanently closed the hotel.

•We cancelled trade shows at theMART beginning late March of 2020 and expect to resume trade shows in the third quarter of 2021.

•As of July 31, 2021, approximately 72% of the 1,293 Building Maintenance Services LLC ("BMS") employees that had been placed on furlough in 2020 have returned to work.

While we believe our tenants are required to pay rent under their leases and we have commenced legal proceedings against certain tenants that have failed to pay under their leases, in limited circumstances, we have agreed to and may continue to agree to rent deferrals and rent abatements for certain of our tenants.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we collected 97% of rent due from our tenants, comprised of 98% from our office tenants and 93% from our retail tenants.
