We note that you reconcile funds from operations (FFO) from net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and net income (loss) attributable to NCI in the OP. Based upon your reconciliation, it appears that FFO represents FFO attributable to common shareholders and NCI in the OP. Please revise your presentation in future filings to clearly label FFO as FFO attributable to common shareholders and NCI in the OP.

 

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that the Company will revise its presentation in future filings to clearly label FFO as FFO attributable to common shareholders and NCI in the OP.
