LEASES

Lessor Operating Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Our lease agreements are generally for real estate, and the determination of whether such agreements contain leases generally does not require significant estimates or judgments. We lease real estate under operating leases.

Our leases with office, retail, mixed-use and residential tenants are classified as operating leases. Leases at our office and retail properties and the retail portion of our mixed-use property generally range from three years to ten years (certain leases with anchor tenants may be longer), and in addition to minimum rents, usually provide for cost recoveries for the tenant’s share of certain operating costs. Our leases may also include variable lease payments in the form of percentage rents based on the tenant’s level of sales achieved in excess of a breakpoint threshold. Leases on apartments generally range from seven months to fifteen months, with a majority having 12-month lease terms. Rooms at the hotel portion of our mixed-use property are rented on a nightly basis.

Leases at our office and retail properties and the retail portion of our mixed-use property may contain lease extension options, at our lessee's discretion. The extension options are generally for 3 to 10 years and contain primarily rent at fixed rates or the prevailing market rent. The extension options are generally exercisable 6 to 12 months prior to the expiration of the lease and require the lessee to not be in default of the lease terms.

We attempt to maximize the amount we expect to derive from the underlying real estate property following the end of a lease, to the extent it is not extended.  We maintain a proactive leasing and capital improvement program that, combined with

the quality and locations of our properties, has made our properties attractive to tenants. However, the residual value of a real estate property is still subject to various market-specific, asset-specific, and tenant-specific risks and characteristics. 

As of March 31, 2024, minimum future rentals from noncancelable operating leases, before any reserve for uncollectible amounts and assuming no early lease terminations, at our office and retail properties and the retail portion of our mixed-use property are as follows for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

 

2024 (nine months ending December 31, 2024)	$	187,854
2025	244,091
2026	229,790
2027	201,651
2028	158,207
Thereafter	246,380
Total	$	1,267,973

The above future minimum rentals exclude residential leases, which typically range from seven months to fifteen months, and exclude the hotel, as rooms are rented on a nightly basis.

Lessee Operating Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Our lease agreements are generally for real estate, and the determination of whether such agreements contain leases generally does not require significant estimates or judgments. We lease real estate under operating leases.

At The Landmark at One Market, we lease, as lessee, a building adjacent to The Landmark at One Market under an operating lease effective through June 30, 2026, which we have the option to extend until 2031 (the "Annex Lease"). The lease payments under the extension option provided for under the Annex Lease will be equal to the fair rental value at the time the extension option is exercised. The extension option is included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as we are reasonably certain of exercising the extension option.

Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement in determining the present value of lease payments.

As of March 31, 2024, current annual payments under the operating leases are as follows for the years ended December 31 (in thousands): 

2024 (nine months ending December 31, 2024)	$	2,584
2025	3,531
2026	3,584
2027	3,584
2028	3,584
Thereafter	8,959
Total lease payments	25,826
Imputed interest	(3,205)
Present value of lease liability	$	22,621

Subleases

At The Landmark at One Market, we (as sublandlord) sublease the Annex Lease building under operating leases effective through December 31, 2029. The subleases contain extension options, subject to our ability to extend the Annex Lease, that can extend the subleases through December 31, 2039 at the fair rental value at the time the extension option is exercised.
