(a)This amount does not include the effect of the basis difference between the Company’s historical cost basis and the basis recorded at the real estate venture level, which is typically amortized over the life of the related assets and liabilities. Basis differentials occur from the impairment of investments, purchases of third-party interests in existing real estate ventures and upon the transfer of assets that were previously owned by the Company into a real estate venture. In addition, certain acquisition, transaction and other costs may not be reflected in the net assets at the real estate venture level.

Commerce Square Venture
The properties held by the Commerce Square Venture were encumbered by secured mortgage loans that were set to mature on April 5, 2023. The lender provided the venture with an extension of the maturity date of these loans until June 5, 2023. On June 2, 2023, the loans were refinanced through a new $220.0 million secured mortgage loan facility. The new loan facility bears an all-in fixed interest rate of 7.79% per annum and matures in June 2028.
In connection with the refinancing, the Company contributed $46.5 million to the Commerce Square Venture in exchange for an additional 8% equity interest in the venture.
MAP Venture
The MAP Venture owns 58 office properties that contain an aggregate of 3,924,783 net rentable square feet located in the Pennsylvania Suburbs, New Jersey/Delaware, Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Virginia (the “MAP Venture”). The MAP Venture leases the land parcels under the 58 office properties through a ground lease that extends through February 2115.
