77 Greenwich Loan
 
On February 9, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary that owns 77 Greenwich and related assets (“TPH Greenwich Borrower”), entered into a loan agreement with Sterling National Bank as lender and administrative agent (the “Agent”), and Israel Discount Bank of New York, as lender (the “Lender”), pursuant to which we borrowed $40.0 million (the “77 Greenwich Loan”). The 77 Greenwich Loan can be increased up to $50.0 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The 77 Greenwich Loan, which was scheduled to mature on February 8, 2017, was extended to August 8, 2017. We are currently evaluating our options which include, among others, an extension of the existing loan or refinancing as part of a construction loan.
 
The 77 Greenwich Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the rate published from time to time by the Wall Street Journal as the U.S. Prime Rate plus 1.25% (the “Contract Rate”) or (ii) 4.50% and requires interest only payments through maturity. The interest rate on the 77 Greenwich Loan was 4.50% through December 16, 2015, when it was then increased to 4.75% through December 15, 2016 when it was then increased to 5.00% through March 16, 2017 when it was then increased to 5.25% where it still remained at March 31, 2017.
 
The Contract Rate will be increased by 1.5% per annum during any period in which TPH Greenwich Borrower does not maintain funds in its deposit accounts with the Agent and the Lender sufficient to make payments then due under the 77 Greenwich Loan documents. TPH Greenwich Borrower can prepay the 77 Greenwich Loan at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
 
The collateral for the 77 Greenwich Loan is TPH Greenwich Borrower’s fee interest in 77 Greenwich and the related air rights, which is the subject of a mortgage in favor of the Agent. TPH Greenwich Borrower also entered into an environmental compliance and indemnification undertaking.
 
The 77 Greenwich Loan agreement requires TPH Greenwich Borrower to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants including restrictions on debt, liens, business activities, distributions and dividends, disposition of assets and transactions with affiliates. TPH Greenwich Borrower has established blocked accounts with the initial lenders, and pledged the funds maintained in such accounts, in the amount of 9% of the outstanding loans. The 77 Greenwich Loan agreement also provides for certain events of default. As of March 31, 2017, TPH Greenwich Borrower was in compliance with all 77 Greenwich Loan covenants.
 
We entered into a Nonrecourse Carve-Out Guaranty pursuant to which we agreed to guarantee certain items, including losses arising from fraud, intentional harm to 77 Greenwich, or misapplication of loan, insurance or condemnation proceeds, a voluntary bankruptcy filing by TPH Greenwich Borrower, and the payment by TPH Greenwich Borrower of maintenance costs, insurance premiums and real estate taxes.
 
West Palm Beach, Florida Loan
 
On May 11, 2016, our subsidiary that owns our West Palm Beach, Florida property commonly known as The Shoppes at Forest Hill (the “TPH Forest Hill Borrower”), entered into a loan agreement with Citizens Bank, National Association, as lender (the “WPB Lender”), pursuant to which the WPB Lender will provide a loan to the TPH Forest Hill Borrower in the amount of up to $12.6 million, subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the loan agreement (the “WPB Loan”). TPH Forest Hill Borrower borrowed $9.1 million under the WPB Loan at closing. The WPB Loan requires interest-only payments and bears interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 230 basis points. The effective interest rate was 2.75% through December 31, 2016 when it was then increased to 3.07% where it still remained at March 31, 2017. The WPB Loan matures on May 11, 2019, subject to extension until May 11, 2021 under certain circumstances. The TPH Forest Hill Borrower can prepay the WPB Loan at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
 
The collateral for the WPB Loan is the TPH Forest Hill Borrower’s fee interest in our West Palm Beach, Florida property. The WPB Loan requires the TPH Forest Hill Borrower to comply with various customary affirmative and negative covenants and provides for certain events of default, the occurrence of which permit the WPB Lender to declare the WPB Loan due and payable, among other remedies. As of March 31, 2017, the TPH Forest Hill Borrower was in compliance with all WPB Loan covenants.
 
On May 11, 2016 we entered into an interest rate cap agreement as required under the WPB Loan. The interest rate cap agreement provides the right to receive cash if the reference interest rate rises above a contractual rate. We paid a premium of $14,000 for the 3.0% interest rate cap for the 30-day LIBOR rate on the notional amount of $9.1 million. The fair value of the interest rate cap as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We did not designate this interest rate cap as a hedge and are recognizing the change in estimated fair value in interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized the change in value of the interest rate cap of approximately $1,000 in interest expense.
 
Secured Lines of Credit
 
On February 22, 2017, we entered into two secured lines of credit for an aggregate of $12.0 million, with Sterling National Bank as the lender. The lines, which are secured by our properties located in Paramus, New Jersey, and Westbury, New York, respectively, mature on February 22, 2018. We have an option to extend the maturity date of each line for an additional 12 months, subject to certain conditions. The lines, which bear interest at 100 basis points over Prime, as defined, with a floor of 3.75%, are pre-payable at any time without penalty. As of March 31, 2017, we have not borrowed under these lines of credit.
