Documents Incorporated By Reference

Portions of the proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Brandywine Realty Trust are incorporated by reference into Part III of this Form 10-K.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 of Brandywine Realty Trust (the “Parent Company”) and Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Parent Company is a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company”. In addition, terms such as “we”, “us”, or “our” used in this report may refer to the Company, the Parent Company, or the Operating Partnership.

The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and as of December 31, 2016, owned a 99.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 0.9% interest consists of common units of limited partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership to third parties in exchange for contributions of properties to the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full and complete authority over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day operations and management.

As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. The separate discussions of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of both the Parent Company and of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes that combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into a single report will result in the following benefits:

• facilitate a better understanding by the investors of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

• remove duplicative disclosures and provide a more straightforward presentation in light of the fact that a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and

• create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

There are few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the footnote disclosures in this report. The Company believes it is important to understand the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how these entities operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing the debt obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the Company and directly or indirectly holds the ownership interests in the Company’s real estate ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the Company’s business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units of the Operating Partnership or equity interests in subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

The equity and non-controlling interests in the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership’s equity are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. The common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ equity in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements while the common units of limited partnership interests held by parties other than the Parent Company are presented as non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements. The differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership’s equity relate to the differences in the equity issued at the Parent Company and Operating Partnership levels.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following as separate notes or sections for each of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership:

• Consolidated Financial Statements;

• Parent Company’s and Operating Partnership’s Equity

3

This report also includes separate Item 9A. (Controls and Procedures) disclosures and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that the Parent Company and Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. § 1350.

In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosures of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to such disclosures as those of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and real estate ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Parent Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

Filing Format

This combined Form 10-K is being filed separately by Brandywine Realty Trust (the “Parent Company”) and Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”).

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. This report and other materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (as well as information included in oral or other written statements made by us) contain statements that are forward-looking, including statements relating to business and real estate development activities, acquisitions, dispositions, future capital expenditures, financing sources, governmental regulation (including environmental regulation) and competition. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the 1995 Act. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. As forward-looking statements, these statements involve important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to:

• The continuing impact of modest global economic growth, which is having and may continue to have a negative effect on, among other things, the following:

• the fundamentals of our business, including overall market occupancy, demand for office space and rental rates;

• the financial condition of our tenants, many of which are financial, legal and other professional firms, our lenders, counterparties to our derivative financial instruments and institutions that hold our cash balances and short-term investments, which may expose us to increased risks of default by these parties;

• the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our future interest expense and our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt; and

• a decline in real estate asset valuations, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis.

• changes in local real estate conditions (including changes in rental rates and the number of properties that compete with our properties);

• our failure to lease unoccupied space in accordance with our projections;

• our failure to re-lease occupied space upon expiration of leases;

• tenant defaults and the bankruptcy of major tenants;

• increases in interest rates;

• failure of interest rate hedging contracts to perform as expected and the effectiveness of such arrangements;

• failure of acquisitions to perform as expected;

• unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition, integration and operation of our acquisitions;

• unanticipated costs to complete, lease-up and operate our developments and redevelopments;

• unanticipated costs associated with land development, including building moratoriums and inability to obtain necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental approvals, construction cost increases or overruns and construction delays;

• impairment charges;

• increased costs for, or lack of availability of, adequate insurance, including for terrorist acts or environmental liabilities;

• actual or threatened terrorist attacks;

• the impact on workplace and tenant space demands driven by technology, employee culture and commuting patterns;

• demand for tenant services beyond those traditionally provided by landlords;

• liability and clean-up costs under environmental or other laws;

• failure or bankruptcy of real estate venture partners;

• inability of real estate venture partners to fund venture obligations or perform under our real estate venture development agreements;

• failure to manage effectively our growth into new product types within our portfolio and real estate venture arrangements;

• failure of dispositions to close in a timely manner;

• earthquakes and other natural disasters;

• the unforeseen impact of climate change and compliance costs relating to laws and regulations governing climate change;

• risks associated with federal, state and local tax audits;

7

• complex regulations relating to our status as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the adverse consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT; and

• the impact of adopting new accounting standards on current and, in instances where application is retrospective, historical financial results.

Given these uncertainties, and the other risks identified in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.

PART I

Item 1. Business

Introduction

We are a self-administered and self-managed REIT that provides leasing, property management, development, redevelopment, acquisition and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of office, residential, retail and mixed-use properties. As of December 31, 2016, we owned 113 properties that contain an aggregate of approximately 17.6 million net rentable square feet and consist of 93 office properties, seven mixed-use properties, one retail property (101 properties, collectively the “Core Properties”), four development properties, three redevelopment properties and five properties classified as held for sale, (collectively, the “Properties”).  In addition, as of December 31, 2016, we owned economic interests in 14 unconsolidated real estate ventures (collectively, the “Real Estate Ventures”), seven of which own properties that contain an aggregate of approximately 8.0 million net rentable square feet of office space; two of which own 4.3 acres of undeveloped parcels of land; two of which own 1.4 acres of land under active development; two of which own residential towers that contain 345 and 321 apartment units, respectively, and one of which owns an apartment complex that contains 398 units. As of December 31, 2016, we also owned 317 acres of undeveloped land, of which five acres were held for sale, and held options to purchase approximately 60 additional acres of undeveloped land.  As of December 31, 2016, the total potential development that these land parcels could support, including the parcels under option, under current zoning and entitlements, amounted to an estimated 12.3 million square feet.  The Properties and the properties owned by the Real Estate Ventures are located in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; Southern New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; Wilmington, Delaware; Austin, Texas and Concord California. In addition to managing properties that we own, as of December 31, 2016, we were managing approximately 10.5 million net rentable square feet of office and industrial properties for third parties and Real Estate Ventures.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this report to square feet represent net rentable area.  We do not have any foreign operations and our business is not seasonal. Our operations are not dependent on a single tenant or a few tenants and no single tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total 2016 revenue.

Organization

The Parent Company was organized and commenced its operations in 1986 as a Maryland REIT. The Parent Company owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership was formed in 1996 as a Delaware limited partnership. The Parent Company controls the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. As of December 31, 2016, the Parent Company owned a 99.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 0.9% interest in the Operating Partnership consists of common units of limited partnership interest issued to the holders in exchange for contributions of properties to the Operating Partnership. Our structure as an “UPREIT” is designed, in part, to permit persons contributing properties to us to defer some or all of the tax liability they might otherwise incur in a sale of properties.  Our executive offices are located at 555 East Lancaster Avenue, Suite 100, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087 and our telephone number is (610) 325-5600. We have offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; McLean, Virginia; Washington, D.C.; Camden, New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; and Austin, Texas. We have an internet website at www.brandywinerealty.com. We are not incorporating by reference into this report any material from our website. The reference to our website is an inactive textual reference to the uniform resource locator (URL) and is for your reference only.

2016 Transactions

Real Estate Acquisitions

On July 1, 2016, we closed on the acquisition of 34.6 acres of land located in Austin, Texas known as the Garza Ranch for a gross purchase price of $20.6 million. We accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and capitalized approximately $1.9 million of acquisition related costs and closing costs as part of land held for development on our consolidated balance sheet. We funded the acquisition with $20.4 million of available corporate funds, net of prorations and other adjustments. We are currently under agreement to sell 9.5 acres (of the 34.6 acres) to two unaffiliated third parties. As of December 31, 2016, the land under these agreements of sale did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements

8

for information related to the sale of 1.7 acres.We have a continuing involvement through a completion guaranty, which requires the Company, as developer, to complete certain infrastructure improvements on behalf of the buyers of the land parcels.

Real Estate Dispositions

We sold the following properties during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Disposition Date	Property/Portfolio Name	Location	Number of Properties		Rentable Square Feet		Sales Price		Net Proceeds on Sale		Gain (Loss) on Sale (a)				Occupancy % at Date of Sale
October 13, 2016	620, 640, 660 Allendale Road	King of Prussia, PA		3		156,669	$	12,800	$	12,014	$	2,382				100.0%

August 2, 2016	50 East Clementon Road	Gibbsboro, NJ		1		3,080		1,100		1,011		(85	)			100.0%
May 11, 2016	196/198 Van Buren Street (Herndon Metro Plaza I&II)	Herndon, VA		2		197,225		44,500		43,412		(752	)	(c)		92.9%
February 5, 2016	2970 Market Street  (Cira Square)	Philadelphia, PA		1		862,692		354,000		350,150		115,828				100.0%
February 4, 2016	Och-Ziff Portfolio	Various (d)		58		3,924,783		398,100		353,971		(372	)	(e)		91.4%
Total Dispositions				66		5,239,632	$	820,000	$	769,799	$	116,983

(a) Gain/(Loss) on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

(b) As of June 30, 2016, we determined that the sale of the property was probable and classified this property as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the property exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, we recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $1.8 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the property. The loss on sale represents additional closing costs recognized at closing.

(c) During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, we recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $7.4 million on the properties. The loss on sale primarily relates to additional closing costs recognized at closing.

(d) Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 10, 2016 contains a complete list of the 58 properties disposed of in the transactions with Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of the transactions.

(e) During the three-month period ended December 31, 2015, we recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $45.4 million. The loss on sale represents additional closing costs recognized at closing. See “MAP Venture” section below.

We sold the following land parcels during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Disposition Date	Property/Portfolio Name	Location	Number of Parcels		Acres		Sales Price		Net Proceeds on Sale		Gain on Sale (a)
December 2, 2016	Oakland Lot B	Oakland, CA		1		0.9	$	13,750	$	13,411	$	9,039
August 19, 2016	Highlands Land	Mt. Laurel, NJ		1		2.0		288		284		193
January 15, 2016	Greenhills Land	Reading, PA		1		120.0		900		837		-	(b)
Total Dispositions				3		122.9	$	14,938	$	14,532	$	9,232

(a) Gain on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

(b) The carrying value of the land exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale as of December 31, 2015, therefore we recognized an impairment loss of $0.3 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2015. There was no gain or loss recognized on the sale during 2016.

The sales of properties referenced above do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on our operations and financial results. As a result, the operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.

Held for Use Impairments

As of December 31, 2016, we evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of our properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on our evaluation, we determined that due to the reduction in our intended hold period of three properties located in the Other segment, we would not recover the carrying values of these properties. Accordingly, we recorded impairment charges on the properties of $7.3 million at December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying values of the properties from $25.8 million to their estimated fair values of $18.5 million. We measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow

analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 8.75% and 9.00%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, we evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of our properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis, we determined that due to the reduction in our intended hold period of a property located in the Metropolitan D.C. segment, we would not recover the carrying value of that property. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge on the property of $3.9 million at June 30, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying value of the property from $37.4 million to its estimated fair value of $33.5 million. We measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rate and discount rate of 7.75% and 8.25%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, we evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of the properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis, we determined that due to a reduction in our intended hold period, we would not recover the carrying value of two properties located in our Metropolitan D.C. segment. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of$7.4 million at March 31, 2016 reducing the aggregate carrying values of these properties from $51.9 million to their estimated fair values of $44.5 million. We measured these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 7.0%. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market.

Land Impairments

As of December 31, 2016, we assessed the fair value of the land parcels within our Other segment that we intend to sell in the short-term and based on that assessment, we determined that we would not recover the carrying value of five land parcels, consisting of 108 acres. Accordingly, we recorded impairment charges of $5.6 million at December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying values of the land parcels from $18.2 million to their estimated fair values of $12.6 million. We measured these impairments using indicative pricing in the markets in which each land parcel is located.

At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded their fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $3.0 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. We measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.00% and 10.00%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market.

(b) As of December 31, 2016, we determined that the sale of two office properties in the Other segment was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $11.5 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. We measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual

10

capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.75% and 9.75%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market.

(c) As of December 31, 2016, we determined that the sale of a land parcel in the Other segment was probable and classified the land parcel as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the land approximated the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement.

The sales of properties referenced above do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on our operations and financial results. As a result, the operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented. See Note 21, "Subsequent Events," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding these dispositions.

Brandywine AI Venture: 3141 Fairview Park Drive

On December 20, 2011, we formed a real estate venture, Brandywine - AI Venture LLC, (the "AICC Venture"), with Current Creek Investments, LLC ("Current Creek"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company. We and Current Creek each own a 50% interest in the AICC Venture. The AICC Venture owns three office properties, which we contributed to the AICC Venture upon its formation. The contributed office properties contain an aggregate of 587,317 net rentable square feet and consist of 3130 and 3141 Fairview Park Drive, both located in Falls Church, Virginia, and 7101 Wisconsin Avenue located in Bethesda, Maryland.

We maintained a regional management and leasing office at 3141 Fairview Park Drive. Consistent with the other four properties owned by the AICC Venture, financial control was shared, however, pursuant to the accounting standard for sales-leaseback transactions, the lease that we maintained at 3141 Fairview Park Drive resulted in us having continuing involvement that required 3141 Fairview Park Drive and its related operations to be consolidated by us under the financing method of accounting for sales of real estate. At formation, we concluded under ASC 810, Consolidations that it was appropriate to deconsolidate the remaining two properties and account for them under the equity method of accounting.

On August 31, 2016, we terminated our lease for the regional management and leasing office at 3141 Fairview Park Drive. Accordingly, we no longer have a continuing involvement, other than our equity method investment and property management agreement, with 3141 Fairview Park Drive and recorded the partial sale under the full accrual method of accounting. As a result of the sale accounting, we deconsolidated net assets of $45.6 million, a mortgage loan of $20.6 million and a financing liability of $12.4 million related to the property from our consolidated balance sheet and recorded a $12.6 million equity method investment. Upon recognizing the sale, there was no gain or loss, as 3141 Fairview Park Drive was impaired to its fair value during the second quarter of 2016.

On September 30, 2016, we funded a capital call totaling $10.3 million to the AICC Venture for our 50% share of the mortgage debt on 3141 Fairview Park Drive. Subsequently, the AICC Venture funded $20.6 million for the repayment of its mortgage debt.

Brandywine AI Venture: Station Square Impairment

On July, 10, 2012, Brandywine – AI Venture (the “AISS Venture”), an unconsolidated real estate venture in which we own a 50% interest, acquired a three building office portfolio totaling 497,896 net rentable square feet in Silver Spring, Maryland (“Station Square”) valued at $120.6 million. During the period ended September 30, 2016, the AISS Venture recorded a $10.4 million held for use impairment charge related to Station Square, which is included in our Metropolitan D.C. segment. Our share of this impairment charge was $5.2 million and is reflected in equity in loss of Real Estate Ventures in our consolidated statement of operations for the period ended December 31, 2016.  The fair value of the Station Square properties was primarily determined based on offers received for the properties. The remaining properties in the AISS Venture were evaluated for impairment, and based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis, no additional other than temporary impairment was identified.

We evaluated for other than temporary impairment our investment in the AISS Venture in accordance with ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The investment in the AISS Venture was determined to be the level of account for evaluation of other than temporary impairment.  The impairment recorded on the three properties was deemed to be an event that indicates the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable.  Following the recognition of our proportionate share of the impairment charge through equity in loss of Real Estate Ventures, we evaluated the fair value of the investment in the AISS Venture through a hypothetical liquidation at book value method.  No other than temporary impairment was identified.

PJP V

On September 22, 2016, the real estate venture known as PJV V sold its office property, comprised of 73,997 square feet, located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Also on September 22, 2016, using proceeds from the sale, we liquidated our entire 25% interest in the real estate venture for $3.4 million, net of closing costs. The carrying amount of our investment was $0.2 million at the time of sale, resulting in a recognized gain of $3.2 million related to the disposition.

Invesco Venture

On August 19, 2016, we assigned our residual profits interest in an unconsolidated real estate venture known as Invesco, L.P. to the general partner of Invesco L.P. for $7.0 million. At the time of sale, our investment basis in Invesco, L.P. was zero and we held no other ownership interest. As a result, we recorded the entire amount of the proceeds received as a gain on sale of unconsolidated real estate ventures in our consolidated statement of operations.

1000 Chesterbrook

On June 30, 2016, the real estate venture known as 1000 Chesterbrook sold its office property, comprised of 172,286 square feet, located in Berwyn, Pennsylvania for a sales price of $32.1 million. As of June 30, 2016, we owned a 50% interest in the 1000 Chesterbrook real estate venture. The proceeds to 1000 Chesterbrook, net of closing costs, proration adjustments and $23.2 million of debt assumed by the buyer, were $9.8 million. We recorded $3.2 million for our proportionate share of the Venture’s gain which is reflected in the “Net gain on real estate venture transactions” caption on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The proceeds from the sale, along with $0.2 million of working capital, were distributed to us during the third quarter of 2016.

evo at Cira Centre South Venture

On March 2, 2016, we paid $12.8 million of cash and HSRE paid $6.6 million of cash to purchase Campus Crest’s entire 30% interest in evo at Cira (See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information regarding this venture) and, as a result, each of us and HSRE owns a 50% interest in evo at Cira. Subsequent to the transaction, our investment basis in evo at Cira is $28.3 million. In conjunction with the purchase, we and HSRE entered into an amended and restated operating agreement to govern their rights and obligations as sole members of evo at Cira.

On June 10, 2016, evo at Cira refinanced its $97.8 million construction facility maturing July25, 2016 with a $117.0 million term loan bearing interest at LIBOR + 2.25% capped at a total maximum interest of 5.25% and maturing on October 31, 2019, with options to extend the term to June 30, 2021. evo at Cira received an advance of $105.0 million at closing. The additional $12.0 million capacity under the term loan may be funded if certain criteria relating to the operating performance of the student housing tower are met. The term loan is secured by a leasehold mortgage that holds absolute assignment of leases and rents. Subsequent to refinancing and the receipt of amounts in escrow under the construction loan, evo at Cira distributed $6.3 million to us.

MAP Venture

On February 4, 2016, Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P., together with subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, entered into a series of related transactions (the “Och-Ziff Sale”) with affiliates of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC (“Och-Ziff”) that resulted in the disposition by us of 58 office properties that contain an aggregate of 3,924,783 square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $398.1 million. The 58 properties are located in the Pennsylvania Suburbs, New Jersey/Delaware, Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Virginia. The related transactions involved: (i) the sale by us to MAP Fee Owner LLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff (the “O-Z Land Purchaser”), of 100% of our fee interests in the land parcels (the “Land Parcels”) underlying the 58 office properties, together with rights to be the lessor under long-term ground leases (the “Ground Leases”) covering the Land Parcels; and (ii) our formation of MAP Ground Lease Venture LLC (the “MAP Venture”) with MAP Ground Lease Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff (the “O-Z Venture Partner”); (iii) our sale to MAP Venture of the office buildings and related improvements (the “Buildings”) situated on the Land Parcels; and (iv) our retention of a 50% non-controlling equity interest in the MAP Venture. 

The MAP Venture leases the Land Parcels from O-Z Land Purchaser through a ground lease that extends through February 2115.  Annual payments by the MAP Venture, as tenant under the Ground Leases, initially total $11.9 million and increase 2.5% annually through November 2025.

At closing on February 4, 2016, the MAP Venture obtained a third party non-recourse debt financing of approximately $180.8 million secured by mortgages on the Buildings of the MAP Venture.

As a result of this transaction, we received $354.0 million in proceeds and maintain a 50% ownership interest in the MAP Venture valued as of February 4, 2016 at $25.2 million, which holds the leasehold interest in the Buildings. The MAP Venture was formed as a limited liability company in which we have been designated as the Managing Member. In addition, through an affiliate, we provide property management services at the Buildings on behalf of the MAP Venture for a market based management fee.

12

We are not required to fund the operating losses of the MAP Venture. Accordingly, we can only incur losses equal to our investment basis in the MAP Venture.

We have determined that this transaction does not represent a significant shift in our operations that has a major impact on our economic performance. As a result, the properties are not classified as discontinued operations on the consolidated financial statements.

Coppell Associates

On January 29, 2016, we sold our entire 50% interest in an unconsolidated real estate venture known as Coppell Associates. The proceeds to us, net of closing costs and related debt payoff, were $4.6 million.  The carrying amount of our investment in Coppell Associates was a $1.1 million liability at the sale date, resulting in a $5.7 million gain on sale of our interest in the real estate venture. The investment was in a liability position because we, as a general partner, were required to fund losses of Coppell Associates. The negative investment balance represented our share of unfunded cumulative losses incurred in excess of our investment basis as of the date of sale.

Developments

As of December 31, 2016, we owned 317 acres of undeveloped land, five acres of which were held for sale, and we held options to purchase approximately 60 additional acres of undeveloped land.

933 First Avenue

During the second quarter of 2016, we commenced construction of an 111,000 square foot, four-story, Class A office property located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.  We anticipate the project cost to total $28.7 million, of which $9.4 million had been funded through December 31, 2016. The project is 100% leased to a single tenant.

FMC Tower at Cira Centre South

On October 31, 2013, we determined to proceed with the development of the FMC Tower at Cira Centre South (the “FMC Tower”), designed as a trophy class, mixed-use office tower at 30th and Walnut Streets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We anticipate the project cost to total $385.0 million, of which $367.0 million had been funded through December 31, 2016.  We intend to fund remaining development costs through a combination of potential sources, including existing cash balances, availability under our unsecured revolving credit facility, capital raised through one or more joint venture formations, proceeds from asset sales or equity and debt financing. The costs to complete the project will be funded over the construction period, which commenced in the second quarter of 2014 and is scheduled to conclude during the first half of 2017.  We are a party to a development agreement and related ground lease with the University of Pennsylvania for the land parcel that the FMC Tower is being constructed on. The ground lease has a term through July 2097 and includes a variable rent provision that would provide the University of Pennsylvania, as ground lessor, with a percentage of the cash flow or proceeds of specified capital events subject to our receipt of a priority return on eligible investments.

During the second quarter of 2016 we placed into service the office component of the FMC Tower, consisting of approximately 625,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2016, we had placed into service $166.5 million of building assets and, as of February 1, 2017, had pre-leased an aggregate of 96% of the office square feet at the FMC Tower.  FMC Corporation, a diversified chemical company serving agricultural, consumer and industrial markets globally, is the anchor tenant at the FMC Tower and has leased approximately 280,000 square feet of office space under a 16-year lease. In addition, we have leased 100,000 square feet of office space to the University of Pennsylvania under a 20-year lease. 

We expect to place into service during the first half of 2017 the residential component of the project, consisting of 268 luxury residential apartments and hotel units.  

JBG Ventures

On May 29, 2015, we and an unaffiliated third party, JBG/DC Manager, LLC ("JBG"), formed 51 N 50 Patterson, Holdings, LLC Venture ("51 N Street") and 1250 First Street Office, LLC Venture ("1250 First Street"), as real estate ventures, with us owning a 70.0% interest and JBG owning a 30.0% interest in each of the two ventures. At formation, we and JBG made cash contributions of $15.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively, to 51 N Street, which was used to purchase 0.9 acres of undeveloped land. At formation, we and JBG made cash capital contributions of $13.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively, to 1250 First Street, which was used to purchase 0.5 acres of undeveloped land. 

51 N Street expects to construct two mixed-use buildings, which will include approximately 278,000 square feet of loft office, residential, ground floor retail, movie theater and on-grade public plaza space in Washington, D.C. 51 N Street expects to develop the

13

office buildings on the 0.9 acre land parcel owned by the venture. As of December 31, 2016, the venture is still in the process of finalizing development plans and total development costs or received committed debt financing for the development.

1250 First Street expects to construct an eleven-story office building, which will include approximately 232,100 square feet of office, 15,300 square feet of retail and 145 below-grade parking spaces in Washington, D.C. 1250 First Street expects to develop the office building on the 0.5 acres land parcel owned by the venture. As of December 31, 2016, the venture is still in the process of finalizing development plans and total development costs or received committed debt financing for the development.

1919 Ventures

On January 20, 2011, we acquired a one acre parcel of land in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $9.3 million. We thereafter contributed the acquired land into a then newly-formed general partnership, referred to below as “1919 Ventures” in return for a 50.0% general partner interest, with the remaining 50.0% interest owned by an unaffiliated third party, who contributed cash in exchange for its interest. On October 15, 2014, we acquired the 50% interest of the unaffiliated third party at fair value, which approximated carrying value. No remeasurement gain or loss on our previous investment was recorded at that time.

On October 21, 2014, we admitted an unaffiliated third party, LCOR/CalSTRS (“LCOR”) into 1919 Ventures, for $8.2 million representing a 50% interest and, reflecting an agreed upon $16.4 million valuation of the land and improvements incurred by us on behalf of 1919 Ventures.

On October 27, 2014, 1919 Ventures announced a planned 29-story, 455,000 square foot contemporary glass tower development.  The tower has been designed as a mixed-use development consisting of residential, retail and parking components and was substantially complete on September 30, 2016. The residential component of the project is comprised of 321 luxury apartments and was 76% leased as of December 31, 2016. The commercial space consists of 24,000 square feet and was 100% leased at December 31, 2016. The parking component consists of a 215-car structured parking facility.  Total project costs are estimated at $148.1 million. A portion of the costs are being funded with proceeds of an $88.9 million secured construction loan from an unaffiliated institutional lender, and the remaining $59.2 million was fully funded with equity contributions from each of us and LCOR. As of December 31, 2016, $79.3 million was outstanding on the construction loan and equity contributions of $29.6 million had been funded by each of us and LCOR.  The remaining project costs of $9.6 million relate to the amenities floor within the project.

4040 Wilson Venture

On July 31, 2013, we formed 4040 Wilson LLC Venture (“4040 Wilson”) as a joint venture between us and Ashton Park Associates LLC (“Ashton Park”), an unaffiliated third party. We and Ashton Park each own a 50% interest in 4040 Wilson. 4040 Wilson expects to construct a 426,000 square foot office building representing the final phase of the eight building, mixed-use, Liberty Center complex developed by the parent company of Ashton Park in the Ballston submarket of Arlington, Virginia. 4040 Wilson expects to develop the office building on a 1.3 acre land parcel contributed by Ashton Park to 4040 Wilson at an agreed upon valuation of $36.0 million. The total estimated project costs are $202.0 million, which we expect will be financed through approximately $72.0 million of partner capital contributions (consisting of $36.0 million in cash from us, of which $35.6 million has been funded to date, and land with a value of $36.0 million from Ashton Park), with the remaining balance funded by debt financing through an unaffiliated construction lender. During the second quarter of 2015, 4040 Wilson completed the construction of the garage structure.  We expect groundbreaking on the building structure to commence upon achievement of certain pre-leasing levels, at which point 4040 Wilson expects to obtain debt financing for the remainder of the project costs.  During the first quarter of 2016, 4040 Wilson obtained a land loan in order to fund the predevelopment and carry costs of the venture in the amount of $5.8 million.  As of December 31 2016, there was $1.0 million outstanding on the loan.

Other Development Activities

On May 9, 2016, we entered into a master development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Drexel University, a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation (“Drexel”), that provides for our rights and obligations, as master developer, of a multi-phase, multi-component development on approximately 10.11 acres of land (the “Development Site”) owned by Drexel and adjacent to Drexel’s main campus in the University City section of Philadelphia.  We refer to the overall development, including the Development Site and four adjacent acres comprising the master planned area as the “Schuylkill Yards Project.”

The Schuylkill Yards Project is contemplated to be developed in six phases over an approximately 20-year period, excluding extension options, and anticipated to consist of an aggregate of approximately 5.1 million of floor area ratio, or FAR, of office, residential, advanced manufacturing, research facilities and academic facilities, as well as accessory green spaces.  

Prior to commencement of construction of the initial facility, we will oversee master planning, including obtaining required government and third party approvals, and completing confirmatory real estate due diligence.  Thereafter, upon commencement, we or a qualifying designee will enter into a 99-year ground lease with Drexel for the portion of the Development Site where the initial

14

facility will be constructed.  We will enter into similar ground leases with Drexel covering additional portions of the Development Site in connection with our construction of additional facilities under subsequent phases of the Schuylkill Yards Project.  

We currently anticipate commencement of construction of the initial phase on or about the first half of 2018 and completion in or about the fourth quarter of 2019.  We contemplate that the initial phase will consist of a mixed-use facility containing approximately 700,000 FAR, with office space comprising at least 60% of the FAR. As of the date of this report, we have not finalized the scope of the development or entered into construction contracts.  

Actual timing and scope of subsequent phases of development will depend on timing and scope of prior phases, third party approvals and design and development-related determinations by Drexel and us.  Overall, approximately 52% of the FAR is designated office, including lab and academic space, and the balance would consist of residential, retail, hospitality and parking.

We intend to fund the costs to develop each development phase of the Schuylkill Yards Project through a combination of cash on hand, capital raised through one or more real estate venture formations, and proceeds from the sale of other assets or debt financing, including project-specific mortgage financing. As of the date of this report, we have not entered into agreements with third parties for real estate venture participation in the project.

The Development Agreement provides for rights, responsibilities and restrictions relating to all phases of the project, including, but not limited to, design and construction; leasing of space; involvement of third party participants; extension and termination rights; and protocols for reaching agreement on subjects customary for long-term collaborative development projects.

On December 3, 2015, we entered into an agreement as development manager to construct Subaru of America’s corporate headquarters (the “Subaru Headquarters Development”), an office property containing five floors and approximately 250,000 square feet, on land owned by Subaru and located in Camden, New Jersey. In addition to development fees, the agreement provides us the ability to earn additional profit if total project costs are less than the not-to-exceed (“NTE”) amount.  The NTE amount, currently at $78.1 million, may be adjusted by change orders agreed upon by both Subaru and us.  If construction costs exceed the NTE amount, we are obligated to pay the excess.  As of December 31, 2016, $39.9 million of the project costs had been funded.

Also on December 3, 2015, we entered into an agreement to construct an 83,000 square foot build-to-suit service center (the “Subaru NSTC Development”) on land parcels owned by us for Subaru of America as the single tenant. On such date, Subaru of America entered into an 18-year lease for the service center. The lease contains a purchase option, which allows Subaru to purchase the property at commencement of the lease, or five years subsequent to inception, at depreciated cost. We currently expect to deliver the building during the second quarter of 2018.  At December 31, 2016, $10.5 million of the project costs, totaling $29.3 million, had been funded.

Business Objective and Strategies for Growth

Our business objective is to deploy capital effectively to maximize our return on investment and thereby maximize our total return to shareholders. To accomplish this objective we seek to:

• concentrate on urban town centers and central business districts in selected regions, and be the best of class owner and developer in those markets with a full-service office in each of those markets providing property management, leasing, development, construction and legal expertise;

• maximize cash flow through leasing strategies designed to capture rental growth as rental rates increase and as leases are renewed;

• attain high tenant retention rates by providing a full array of property management, maintenance services and tenant service amenity programs responsive to the varying needs of our diverse tenant base;

• continue to cultivate long-term leasing relationships with a diverse base of high-quality and financially stable tenants;

• form joint ventures with high-quality partners having attractive real estate holdings or significant financial resources;

• utilize our reputation as a full-service real estate development and management organization to identify acquisition and development opportunities that will expand our business and create long-term value;

• increase the economic diversification of our tenant base while maximizing economies of scale; and

• selectively reduce our portfolio over time, in non-core suburban properties that are not located in our core regions.

We also consider the following to be important objectives:

• to develop and opportunistically acquire high-quality office properties at attractive yields in markets that we expect will experience economic growth and where we can achieve operating efficiencies;

• to monetize or deploy our land inventory for development of high-quality office properties, or rezone from office/industrial to residential, retail and hotel to align with market and demand shifts as appropriate;

15

• to control development sites, including sites under option to acquire, that could support approximately 10.2 million square feet of new office, retail and residential development within our core markets;

• to capitalize on our redevelopment expertise to selectively develop, redevelop and reposition properties in desirable locations that other organizations may not have the resources to pursue;

• to own and develop high quality office and mixed-use real estate meeting the demands of today’s tenants who require sophisticated telecommunications and related infrastructure, support services, sustainable features and amenities, and to manage those facilities so as to continue to be the landlord of choice for both existing and prospective tenants;

• to strategically grow our portfolio through the development and acquisition of new product types that support our strategy of transient-oriented and amenity based mixed-use properties located in the central business districts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Austin, Texas and Washington, D.C.; and

• to secure third-party development contracts, which can be a significant source of revenue and enable us to utilize and grow our existing development and construction management resources.

We expect to concentrate our real estate activities in markets where we believe that:

• current and projected market rents and absorption statistics justify construction activity;

• we can maximize market penetration by accumulating a critical mass of properties and thereby enhance operating efficiencies;

• barriers to entry (such as zoning restrictions, utility availability, infrastructure limitations, development moratoriums and limited developable land) will create supply constraints on available space; and

• there is potential for economic growth, particularly job growth and industry diversification.

Operating Strategy

We currently expect to continue to operate in markets where we have a concentration advantage due to economies of scale. We believe that where possible, it is best to operate with a strong base of properties in order to benefit from the personnel allocation and the market strength associated with managing multiple properties in the same market. We also intend to selectively dispose of properties and redeploy capital if we determine a property cannot meet our long term earnings growth expectations. We believe that recycling capital is an important aspect of maintaining the overall quality of our portfolio.

Our broader strategy remains focused on continuing to enhance liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet through capital retention, debt reduction, targeted sales activity and management of our existing and prospective liabilities.

In the long term, we believe that we are well positioned in our current markets and have the expertise to take advantage of both development and acquisition opportunities, as warranted by market and economic conditions, in new markets that have healthy long-term fundamentals and strong growth projections. This capability, combined with what we believe is a conservative financial structure, should allow us to achieve disciplined growth. These abilities are integral to our strategy of having a diverse portfolio of assets, which will meet the needs of our tenants.

We use experienced on-site construction superintendents, operating under the supervision of project managers and senior management, to control the construction process and mitigate the various risks associated with real estate development.

In order to fund developments, redevelopments and acquisitions, as well as refurbish and improve existing properties, we primarily use proceeds from property dispositions and excess cash from operations after satisfying our dividend and other financing requirements. The availability of funds for new investments and maintenance of existing properties largely depends on capital markets and liquidity factors over which we can exert little control.

Policies With Respect To Certain Activities

The following is a discussion of our investment, financing and other policies. These policies have been determined by our Board of Trustees and our Board of Trustees may revise these policies without a vote of shareholders.

Investments in Real Estate or Interests in Real Estate

Our investment objectives are to provide quarterly cash dividends to our shareholders and to achieve long-term capital appreciation through increases in the value of Brandywine Realty Trust.

We expect to continue our investment objectives primarily through the development, purchase or our current ownership in lease income-producing properties for long-term investment, expand and improve the properties presently owned or other properties purchased, or sell such properties, in whole or in part, as circumstances warrant. Although there is no limitation on the types of development activities that we may undertake, we expect that our development activities will meet current market demand and will

16

generally be on a build-to-suit basis for particular tenants where a significant portion of the building is pre-leased before construction begins. We continue to participate with other entities in property ownership through existing joint ventures or other types of co-ownership. Our equity investments may be subject to existing or future mortgage financing and other indebtedness that will have priority over our equity investments.

Securities of or Interests in Entities Primarily Engaged in Real Estate Activities and Other Issuers

Subject to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross income tests necessary for REIT qualification, we may invest in securities of other REITs, other entities engaged in real estate activities or securities of other issuers. We may enter into joint ventures or partnerships for the purpose of obtaining an equity interest in a particular property. We do not currently intend to invest in the securities of other issuers except in connection with joint ventures or acquisitions of indirect interests in properties.

Investments in Real Estate Mortgages

While our current portfolio consists of, and our business objectives emphasize, common equity investments in commercial real estate, we may, at the discretion of management or our Board of Trustees, invest in other types of equity real estate investments, mortgages and other real estate interests. We do not presently intend to invest to a significant extent in mortgages or deeds of trust, but may invest in participating mortgages or preferred equity if we conclude that we may benefit from the cash flow or any appreciation in the value of the property securing a mortgage. From time to time, we provide seller financing to buyers of our properties. We do this when the buyer requires additional funds for the purchase and provision of seller financing will be beneficial to us and the buyer compared to a mortgage loan from a third party lender.

Dispositions

Our disposition of properties is based upon management’s periodic review of our portfolio and the determination by management or our Board of Trustees that a disposition would be in our best interests. We intend to use selective dispositions to reduce our ownership in non-core markets and fund our capital and refinancing needs.

Financing Policies

A primary objective of our financing policy has been to manage our financial position to allow us to raise capital from a variety of sources at competitive rates. Our mortgages, credit facilities and unsecured debt securities contain restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness. Our charter documents do not limit the indebtedness that we may incur. Our financing strategy is to maintain a strong and flexible financial position by limiting our debt to a prudent level and minimizing our variable interest rate exposure. We intend to finance future growth and future maturing debt with the most advantageous source of capital then available to us. These sources may include the sale of wholly owned properties or interests in real estate ventures, selling additional common or preferred equity and debt securities through public offerings or private placements, utilizing availability under our credit facilities or incurring additional indebtedness through secured or unsecured borrowings. To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our shareholders each year at least 90% of our net taxable income, excluding any net capital gain. This distribution requirement limits our ability to fund future capital needs, including for acquisitions and developments, from income from operations. Therefore, we expect to continue to rely on third party sources of capital to fund future capital needs.

Guarantees

As of December 31, 2016, our unconsolidated real estate ventures had aggregate indebtedness to third parties of $997.5 million.  These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to us.  As of December 31, 2016, the loans for which there is recourse to us consists of the following: (i) a $52.5 million payment guaranty on the term loan for evo at Cira; (ii) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the $56.0 million construction loan for TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; (iii) a joint and several cost overrun guaranty on the $88.9 million construction loan for the development project being undertaken by 1919 Market Street LP; and (iv) a $0.4 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII.  On January 31, 2017, we sold our 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P. and our $3.2 million guarantee was cancelled. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In connection with the agreements of sale related to the Garza Ranch (See “Real Estate Acquisitions” section above), we entered into a development agreement and related completion guarantee to construct certain infrastructure improvements to the land on behalf of each buyer, estimated to cost $10.3 million. Total estimated costs related to the improvements are included in the sale price of each land parcel. Recognition of the profit earned upon sale of the land parcels is deferred until the improvements are completed.

Also, we have provided a cost overrun guarantee on the Subaru Headquarters Development (See “Other Development Services” section above) for amounts in excess of the NTE amount. The NTE amount, currently at $78.1 million, may be adjusted by change orders agreed upon by both Subaru and us. We are obligated to pay for construction costs in excess of the NTE amount. The terms of the guarantee do not provide a limitation on the costs we may be responsible for.

17

In addition, during construction undertaken by real estate ventures, we have provided and expect to continue to provide cost overrun and completion guarantees, with rights of contribution among partners in the real estate ventures, and once construction is complete, customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of customary exceptions to nonrecourse provisions in loan agreements. For additional information regarding these real estate ventures, see Note 4, "Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures," to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Working Capital Reserves

We maintain working capital reserves and access to borrowings in amounts that our management determines to be adequate to meet our normal contingencies.

Policies with Respect to Other Activities

We expect to issue additional common and preferred equity in the future and may authorize our Operating Partnership to issue additional common and preferred units of limited partnership interest, including to persons who contribute their interests in properties to us in exchange for such units. We have not engaged in trading, underwriting or agency distribution or sale of securities of unaffiliated issuers and we do not intend to do so. We intend to make investments consistent with our qualification as a REIT, unless because of circumstances or changes in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or the Treasury Regulations), our Board of Trustees determines that it is no longer in our best interests to qualify as a REIT. We may make loans to third parties, including to joint ventures in which we participate and to buyers of our real estate. We intend to make investments in such a way that we will not be treated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Management Activities

We provide third-party real estate management services primarily through wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “Management Companies”). As of December 31, 2016, the Management Companies were managing properties containing an aggregate of approximately 28.1 million net rentable square feet, of which approximately 17.6 million net rentable square feet related to properties owned by us and approximately 10.5 million net rentable square feet related to properties owned by third parties and unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures.

Geographic Segments

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we were managing our portfolio within five segments: (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia Central Business District (“CBD”), (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C., (4) Austin, Texas and (5) Other. The Pennsylvania Suburbs segment includes properties in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties in the Philadelphia suburbs. The Philadelphia CBD segment includes properties located in the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment includes properties in the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia and southern Maryland. The Austin, Texas segment includes properties in the City of Austin, Texas. The Other segment includes properties in Burlington and Camden counties in New Jersey, New Castle county in the state of Delaware and the City of Concord in California. The corporate group is responsible for cash and investment management, development of certain real estate properties during the construction period, and certain other general support functions. See Note 18, “Segment Information,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for information on selected assets and results of operations of our reportable segments for the three years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Competition

The real estate business is highly competitive. Our Properties compete for tenants with similar properties primarily on the basis of location, total occupancy costs (including base rent and operating expenses), services and amenities provided, and the design and condition of the improvements. We also face competition when attempting to acquire or develop real estate, including competition from domestic and foreign financial institutions, other REITs, life insurance companies, pension funds, partnerships and individual investors. Additionally, our ability to compete depends upon trends in the economies of our markets, investment alternatives, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, land availability, our ability to obtain necessary construction approvals, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.

Sustainability

We intend to establish sustainable office practices consistent with our overall commitment to provide excellent office environments to our customers, our employees and our vendor service providers. We are committed to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions throughout our buildings by providing proper energy management metrics that provide environmentally responsible buildings. As both an owner and developer of property, we continue to improve design and construction of our buildings to achieve leading building performance.

18

Insurance

We maintain commercial general liability and “all risk” property insurance on our properties. We intend to obtain similar coverage for properties we acquire in the future. There are types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses from war, terrorism, environmental issues, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes that are subject to limitations in certain areas or which may be uninsurable risks. We exercise our discretion in determining amounts, coverage limits and deductibility provisions of insurance, with a view to maintaining appropriate insurance on our investments at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. If we suffer a substantial loss, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of our lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors also might make it impractical to use insurance proceeds to fully replace or restore a property after it has been damaged or destroyed.

Employees

As of December 31, 2016, we had 363 full-time employees, including 12 union employees.

Government Regulations Relating to the Environment

Many laws and governmental regulations relating to the environment apply to us and changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and the courts, occur frequently and may adversely affect us.

Existing conditions at some of our Properties. Independent environmental consultants have conducted Phase I or similar environmental site assessments on our Properties. We generally obtain these assessments prior to the acquisition of a property and may later update them as required for subsequent financing of the property or as requested by a tenant. Site assessments are generally performed to ASTM standards then existing for Phase I site assessments, and typically include a historical review, a public records review, a visual inspection of the surveyed site, and the issuance of a written report. These assessments do not generally include any soil samplings or subsurface investigations. Depending on the age of the property, the Phase I may have included an assessment of asbestos-containing materials. For properties where asbestos-containing materials were identified or suspected, an operations and maintenance plan was generally prepared and implemented. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for our evaluation in accordance with the accounting standard governing asset retirement obligations.

Historical operations at or near some of our Properties, including the operation of underground storage tanks, may have caused soil or groundwater contamination. We are not aware of any such condition, liability or concern by any other means that would give rise to material, uninsured environmental liability. However, the assessments may have failed to reveal all environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns; there may be material environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns that a review failed to detect or which arose at a property after the review was completed; future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material additional environmental liability; and current environmental conditions at our Properties may be affected in the future by tenants, third parties or the condition of land or operations near our Properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks. We cannot be certain that costs of future environmental compliance will not affect our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.

Use of hazardous materials by some of our tenants. Some of our tenants handle hazardous substances and wastes on our Properties as part of their routine operations. Environmental laws and regulations may subject these tenants, and potentially us, to liability resulting from such activities. We generally require our tenants, in their leases, to comply with these environmental laws and regulations and to indemnify us for any related liabilities. We are not aware of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products in connection with any of our Properties, and we do not believe that on-going activities by our tenants will have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Costs related to government regulation and private litigation over environmental matters. Under environmental laws and regulations, we may be liable for the costs of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances present or released on our Properties. These laws could impose liability without regard to whether we are responsible for, or knew of, the presence or release of the hazardous materials. Government investigations and remediation actions may entail substantial costs and the presence or release of hazardous substances on a property could result in governmental cleanup actions or personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs.

Potential environmental liabilities may exceed our environmental insurance coverage limits. We carry what we believe to be sufficient environmental insurance to cover potential liability for soil and groundwater contamination, mold impact, and the presence of asbestos-containing materials at the affected sites identified in our environmental site assessments. Our insurance policies are subject to conditions, qualifications and limitations. Therefore, we cannot provide any assurance that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all liabilities for losses.

Potential environmental liabilities may adversely impact our ability to use or sell assets. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may impair our ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition, results from operations and ability to make distributions on our equity and to pay debt service on our indebtedness may be affected by the risk factors set forth below. All investors (including shareholders in the Parent Company and units in the Operating Partnership) should consider the following risk factors before deciding to purchase our securities.  This section contains forward-looking statements. Please refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements beginning on page 7.

Adverse economic and geopolitical conditions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders.

Our business is affected by global, national and local economic conditions.  Our portfolio consists primarily of office buildings (as compared to real estate companies with portfolios of multiple asset classes).  Our economic performance and the value of our real estate assets, and consequently the value of our securities, are subject to the risk that if our properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our cash flow and ability to pay distributions to our security holders will be adversely affected. The following factors, among others, may adversely affect the income generated by our properties and our performance generally:

• adverse changes in international, national or local economic and demographic conditions;

• increased vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms, including market pressures to offer tenants rent abatements, increased tenant improvement packages, early termination rights, below market rental rates or below-market renewal options;

• significant job losses in the financial and professional services industries may occur, which may decrease demand for office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted;

• changes in interest rates, reduced availability of financing and reduced liquidity in the capital markets, which may adversely affect our ability or the ability of buyers and tenants of properties to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all;

• reduced values of our properties would limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices, limit our access to debt financing secured by our properties and reduce the availability of unsecured loans;

20

• one or more lenders under our unsecured revolving credit facility could refuse or be unable to fund their financing commitment to us and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lenders on favorable terms, or at all;

• declines in the financial condition of our tenants which would impact our ability to collect rents from our tenants;

• competition from other commercial office, retail, and mixed-use properties and commercial buildings, and increased supply of such buildings;

• increased operating costs, including insurance expense, utilities, real estate taxes, janitorial costs, state and local taxes, labor shortages and heightened security costs may not be offset by increased market rental rates;

• civil disturbances, earthquakes and other natural disasters, or terrorist acts or acts of war which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses; and

• significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as debt service payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs which are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in revenues from a property.

Our performance is dependent upon the economic conditions of the markets in which our properties are located.

Our results of operations will be significantly influenced by the economies and other conditions of the real estate markets in which we operate, particularly in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Suburbs, the District of Columbia, Southern New Jersey, Northern Virginia, Southern Maryland and Austin, Texas. Any adverse changes in economic conditions in the future in any of these economies or real estate markets could negatively affect cash available for distribution. Our financial performance and ability to make distributions to our shareholders will be particularly sensitive to the economic conditions in these markets. The local economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors, and local real estate conditions, such as demand for office space, operating expenses and real estate taxes, may affect revenues and the value of properties, including properties to be acquired or developed. We cannot assure you that these local economies will grow in the future.

We face risks associated with the development of mixed-use commercial properties.

We operate, are currently developing, and may in the future develop, properties either alone or through real estate ventures with other persons that are known as “mixed-use” developments. This means that in addition to the development of office space, the project may also include space for residential, retail, hotel or other commercial purposes. As a result, if a development project includes a non-office or non-retail use, we may seek to develop that component ourselves, sell the rights to that component to a third-party developer with experience in that use or we may seek to partner with such a developer. If we do not sell the rights or partner with such a developer, or if we choose to develop the other component ourselves, we would be exposed not only to those risks typically associated with the development of commercial real estate generally, but also to specific risks associated with the development and ownership of non-office and non-retail real estate. In addition, even if we sell the rights to develop certain components or elect to participate in the development through a real estate venture, we may be exposed to the risks associated with the failure of the other party to complete the development as expected. These include the risk that the other party would default on its obligations necessitating that we complete the other component ourselves (including providing any necessary financing). In the case of residential properties, these risks also include competition for prospective residents from other operators whose properties may be perceived to offer a better location or better amenities or whose rent may be perceived as a better value given the quality, location and amenities that the resident seeks. Because we have limited experience with residential properties, we expect to retain third parties to manage our residential properties. In the case of hotel properties, the risks also include increases in inflation and utilities that may not be offset by increases in room rates. We are also dependent on business and commercial travelers and tourism.  If we decide to not sell or participate in a real estate venture and instead hire a third party manager, we would be dependent on their key personnel to provide services on our behalf and we may not find a suitable replacement if the management agreement is terminated, or if key personnel leave or otherwise become unavailable to us.

We may suffer adverse consequences due to the financial difficulties, bankruptcy or insolvency of our tenants.

Periodically, our tenants experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in their business, there could be an adverse effect on our financial performance and distributions to shareholders. We cannot assure you that any tenant that files for bankruptcy protection will continue to pay us rent. A bankruptcy filing by or relating to one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would bar efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or lease guarantor, or its property, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. In addition, we cannot evict a tenant solely because of bankruptcy. The bankruptcy of a tenant or lease guarantor could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. If a lease is assumed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. If, however, a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general, unsecured claim for damages. Any such unsecured claim would only be paid to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of general, unsecured claims. Restrictions under the bankruptcy laws further limit the amount of any other claims that we can make if a lease is rejected. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full

21

value of the remaining rent during the term. See Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Factors that May Influence Future Results of Operations - Tenant Credit Risk.”

An increase in interest rates would increase our interest costs on variable rate debt and could adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt or sell assets on favorable terms or at all.

Rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures or significantly increase our future interest expense. From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts. While these agreements are intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates on us, they also expose us to the risk that the other parties to the agreements will not perform, we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements, the agreements will be unenforceable and the underlying transactions will fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under the applicable accounting guidance. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third-parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to recycle capital and change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.

Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing or affect the market price of our equity shares or debt securities.

Like other real estate companies which incur debt, we are subject to risks associated with debt financing, such as the insufficiency of cash flow to meet required debt service payment obligations and the inability to refinance existing indebtedness. If our debt cannot be paid, refinanced or extended at maturity, we may not be able to make distributions to shareholders at expected levels or at all. Furthermore, an increase in our interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders. If we do not meet our debt service obligations, any properties securing such indebtedness could be foreclosed on, which would have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and ability to make distributions and, depending on the number of properties foreclosed on, could threaten our continued viability. Our degree of leverage could also make us more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the economy in general.

The terms and covenants relating to our indebtedness could adversely impact our economic performance.

Our credit facilities, term loans and the indenture governing our unsecured public debt securities contain (and any new or amended facility and term loans will contain) restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt which we must maintain. Our ability to borrow under our credit facilities is subject to compliance with such financial and other covenants. In the event that we fail to satisfy these covenants, we would be in default under the credit facilities, the term loans and the indenture and may be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under such circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or may be available only at unattractive terms. In addition, the mortgages on our properties, including mortgages encumbering our Real Estate Ventures, contain customary covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage. If we breach covenants in our secured debt agreements, the lenders can declare a default and take possession of the property securing the defaulted loan.

A downgrading of our debt could subject us to higher borrowing costs.

In the event that our unsecured debt is downgraded by Moody’s Investor Services and Standard & Poor’s from the current ratings, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs and the market prices of our common shares and debt securities might decline.

We may experience increased operating costs, which might reduce our profitability.

Our properties are subject to increases in operating expenses such as for cleaning, electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, administrative costs and other costs associated with security, landscaping and repairs and maintenance of our properties. In general, our tenant leases allow us to pass through all or a portion of these costs to them. We cannot assure you, however, that tenants will actually bear the full burden of these higher costs, or that such increased costs will not lead them, or other prospective tenants, to seek office space elsewhere. If operating expenses increase, the availability of other comparable office space in our core geographic markets might limit our ability to increase rents; if operating expenses increase without a corresponding increase in revenues, our profitability could diminish and limit our ability to make distributions to shareholders.

22

Our investment in property development or redevelopment may be more costly or difficult to complete than we anticipate.

Property ground-up development is a component of our operating and investment strategy. We intend to continue pursuing select ground-up development opportunities for long-term investment and construction of office or mixed use properties as opportunities arise. Once made, these investments may not produce results in accordance with our expectations. Risks associated with our development and construction activities include:

• the unavailability of favorable financing alternatives in the private and public debt markets;

• having sufficient capital to pay development costs;

• limited experience developing or redeveloping properties in certain of our geographic markets;

• dependence on the financial and professional services sector as part of our tenant base;

• construction costs exceeding original estimates due to rising interest rates, diminished availability of materials and labor, and increases in the costs of materials and labor;

• construction and lease-up delays resulting in increased debt service, fixed expenses and construction or renovation costs;

• expenditure of funds and devotion of management’s time to projects that we do not complete;

• the unavailability or scarcity of utilities;

• occupancy rates and rents at newly completed properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, resulting in lower than projected rental rates and a corresponding lower return on our investment;

• complications (including building moratoriums and anti-growth legislation) in obtaining necessary zoning, occupancy and other governmental permits; and

• increased use restrictions by local zoning or planning authorities limiting our ability to develop and impacting the size of developments.

See Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Factors that May Influence Future Results of Operations - Development Risk.”

Our development projects and third party property management business may subject us to certain liabilities.

We may hire and supervise third party contractors to provide construction, engineering and various other services for wholly owned development projects, development projects undertaken by real estate ventures in which we hold an equity interest and manage or properties we are managing on behalf of unaffiliated third parties.  Certain of these contracts may be structured such that we are the principal rather than the agent.  As a result, we may assume liabilities in the course of the project and be subjected to, or become liable for, claims for construction defects, negligent performance of work or other similar actions by third parties we have engaged. Adverse outcomes of disputes or litigation could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, particularly if we have not limited the extent of the damages to which we may be liable, or if our liabilities exceed the amounts of the insurance that we carry. Moreover, our tenants and third party customers may seek to hold us accountable for the actions of contractors because of our role even if we have technically disclaimed liability as a legal matter, in which case we may determine it necessary to participate in a financial settlement for purposes of preserving the tenant or customer relationship.

Acting as a principal may also mean that we pay a contractor before we have been reimbursed, which exposes us to additional risks of collection in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency. The reverse can occur as well, where a contractor we have paid files bankruptcy or commits fraud with the funds before completing a project which we have funded in part or in full. As part of our project management business, we are responsible for managing the various other contractors required for a project, including general contractors, in order to ensure that the cost of a project does not exceed the contract amount and that the project is completed on time. In the event that one or more of the contractors involved does not, or cannot, perform as a result of bankruptcy or for another reason, we may be responsible for cost overruns, as well as the consequences of late delivery. In the event that we have not accurately estimated our own costs of providing services under guaranteed cost contracts, we may be exposed to such losses on the contract until we are able to legally terminate them.

We face risks associated with property acquisitions.

We have acquired in the past and intend to continue to pursue the acquisition of properties, including large portfolios that would increase our size and potentially alter our capital structure.  The success of such transactions is subject to a number of factors, including the risks that:

• we may not be able to obtain financing for such acquisitions on favorable terms;

• acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;

• even if we enter into an acquisition agreement for a property, we may be unable to complete that acquisition after making a non-refundable deposit and incurring certain other acquisition-related costs;

• the actual costs of repositioning, redeveloping or maintaining acquired properties may be higher than our estimates;

23

• the acquired properties may be located in new markets where we may have limited knowledge and understanding of the local economy, an absence of business relationships in the area or unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and

• we may not be able to efficiently integrate acquired properties, particularly portfolios of properties, into our organization and manage new properties in a way that allows us to realize cost savings and synergies.

Acquired properties may subject us to known and unknown liabilities.

Properties that we acquire may be subject to known and unknown liabilities for which we would have no recourse, or only limited recourse, to the former owners of such properties. As a result, if a liability were asserted against us based upon ownership of an acquired property, we might be required to pay significant sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our financial results and cash flow. Unknown liabilities relating to acquired properties could include:

• liabilities for clean-up of pre-existing disclosed or undisclosed environmental contamination;

• claims by tenants, vendors, municipalities or other persons arising on account of actions or omissions of the former owners of the properties; and

• liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business.

We have agreed not to sell certain of our properties and to maintain indebtedness subject to guarantees.

We acquired in the past and in the future may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax deferred contribution transactions in exchange for partnership interests in our Operating Partnership. This acquisition structure has the effect, among other factors, of reducing the amount of tax depreciation we can deduct over the tax life of the acquired properties, and typically requires that we agree to protect the contributors’ ability to defer recognition of taxable gain through restrictions on our ability to dispose of the acquired properties and/or the allocation of partnership debt to the contributors to maintain their tax bases.  We agreed not to sell some of our properties for varying periods of time, in transactions that would trigger taxable income to the former owners, and we may enter into similar arrangements as a part of future property acquisitions. These agreements generally provide that we may dispose of the subject properties only in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or in other tax deferred transactions. Such transactions can be difficult to complete and can result in the property acquired in exchange for the disposed of property inheriting the tax attributes (including tax protection covenants) of the sold property. Violation of these tax protection agreements would impose significant costs on us. As a result, we are restricted with respect to decisions related to financing, encumbering, expanding or selling these properties.  These restrictions on dispositions could limit our ability to sell an asset or pay down partnership debt during a specified time, or on terms, that would be favorable absent such restrictions.

We have also entered into agreements that provide prior owners of properties with the right to guarantee specific amounts of indebtedness and, in the event that the specific indebtedness that they guarantee is repaid or reduced, we would be required to provide substitute indebtedness for them to guarantee. These agreements may hinder actions that we may otherwise desire to take to repay or refinance guaranteed indebtedness because we would be required to make payments to the beneficiaries of such agreements if we violate these agreements.

We may be unable to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire; certain leases may expire early.

If tenants do not renew their leases upon expiration, we may be unable to re-lease the space. Even if the tenants do renew their leases or if we can re-lease the space, the terms of renewal or re-leasing (including the cost of required renovations) may be less favorable than the current lease terms. Certain leases grant the tenants an early termination right upon payment of a termination penalty or if we fail to comply with certain material lease terms. Our inability to renew or release spaces and the early termination of certain leases could affect our ability to make distributions to shareholders. See Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Factors that May Influence Future Results of Operations - Tenant Rollover Risk.”

Competition could limit our ability to lease residential rental properties or increase or maintain rents.

Through the recent development of the FMC Tower and the real estate ventures at 1919 Market Street and evo at Cira Centre South, our future income contributions from residential real estate will increase. These properties, which are luxury apartments, corporate suites and upscale student housing located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will compete with other housing alternatives to attract residents, including rental apartments, condominiums and other single-family homes available for rent as well as new and existing condominiums and single-family homes for sale. Our competitors may offer a more desirable location or have leasing terms more favorable than those we can provide. In addition, our ability to compete and generate favorable returns depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national and local economies, the financial condition and liquidity of current and prospective renters, availability and cost of capital, taxes and governmental regulations. Given significant competition, we expect that as our competitors seek to capitalize on opportunities to purchase undervalued properties in this market and convert them to productive uses, the supply of rental

24

properties may increase and the competition for tenants will intensify, which may adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.

We face significant competition from other real estate developers.

We compete with real estate developers, operators and institutions for tenants and acquisition and development opportunities. Some of these competitors may have significantly greater financial resources than we have. Such competition may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities available to us, may interfere with our ability to attract and retain tenants and may increase vacancies, which could result in increased supply and lower market rental rates, reducing our bargaining leverage and adversely affect our ability to improve our operating leverage. In addition, some of our competitors may be willing (e.g., because their properties may have vacancy rates higher than those for our properties) to make space available at lower rental rates or with higher tenant concession percentages than available space in our properties. We cannot assure you that this competition will not adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.

Property ownership through real estate ventures may limit our ability to act exclusively in our interest.

We develop, acquire, and contribute properties in real estate ventures with other persons or entities when we believe circumstances warrant the use of such structures. As of December 31, 2016, we held ownership interests in 14 unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures for an aggregate investment balance of $281.3 million. We could become engaged in a dispute with one or more of our real estate venture partners that might affect our ability to operate a jointly-owned property. Moreover, our real estate venture partners may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives, including objectives that relate to the appropriate timing and terms of any sale or refinancing of a property. In some instances, our real estate venture partners may have competing interests in our markets that could create conflicts of interest. If the objectives of our real estate venture partners or the lenders to our Real Estate Ventures are inconsistent with our own objectives, we may not be able to act exclusively in our interests and the value of our investment in the Real Estate Ventures may be affected.

Because real estate is illiquid, we may not be able to sell properties when in our best interest.

Real estate investments generally, and in particular large office and mixed use properties like those that we own, often cannot be sold quickly. The capitalization rates at which properties may be sold could be higher than historic rates, thereby reducing our potential proceeds from sale. Consequently, we may not be able to alter our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code limits our ability to sell properties that we have held for fewer than two years without potential adverse consequences to our shareholders. Furthermore, properties that we have developed and have owned for a significant period of time or that we acquired in exchange for partnership interests in the Operating Partnership often have a low tax basis. If we were to dispose of any of these properties in a taxable transaction, we may be required under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to REITs to distribute a significant amount of the taxable gain to our shareholders and this could, in turn, impact our cash flow. In some cases, tax protection agreements with third parties will prevent us from selling certain properties in a taxable transaction without incurring substantial costs. In addition, purchase options and rights of first refusal held by tenants or partners in real estate ventures may also limit our ability to sell certain properties. All of these factors reduce our ability to respond to changes in the performance of our investments and could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders as well as the ability of someone to purchase us, even if a purchase were in our shareholders’ best interests.

Some potential losses are not covered by insurance.

We currently carry property insurance against all-risks of physical loss or damage (unless otherwise excluded in the policy) including time element and commercial general liability coverage on all of our properties. There are, however, types of losses, such as lease and other contract claims, biological, radiological and nuclear hazards and acts of war that generally are not insured. We cannot assure you that we will be able to renew insurance coverage in an adequate amount or at reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to earthquake, terrorist acts and mold, flood, or, if offered, these types of insurance may be prohibitively expensive. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. In such an event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We cannot assure you that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Such events could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders. If one or more of our insurance providers were to fail to pay a claim as a result of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise, the nonpayment of such claims could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if one or more of our insurance providers were to become subject to insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceedings and our insurance policies with the provider were terminated or cancelled as a result of those proceedings, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to find alternative coverage in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices. In such case, we could experience a lapse in any or adequate insurance coverage with respect to one

25

or more properties and be exposed to potential losses relating to any claims that may arise during such period of lapsed or inadequate coverage.

In addition to property and casualty insurance, we use a combination of insurance products, some of which include deductibles and self-insured retention amounts, to provide risk mitigation for the potential liabilities associated with various liabilities, including workers’ compensation, general contractors, directors and officers and employee health-care benefits. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by us are estimated, in part, by considering historical claims experience and actuarial assumptions. While we carry general liability and umbrella policies to mitigate such losses on our general liability risks, our results could be materially impacted by claims and other expenses related to such insurance plans if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends or if employee health-care claims which we self-insure up to a set limit per employee (and which are insured above such self-insured retention amount) exceed our expectations or historic trends.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely impact our performance and may affect the markets on which our securities are traded.

Terrorist attacks against our properties, or against the United States or our interests, may negatively impact our operations and the value of our securities. Attacks or armed conflicts could result in increased operating costs; for example, it might cost more in the future for building security, property and casualty insurance, and property maintenance. As a result of terrorist activities and other market conditions, the cost of insurance coverage for our properties could also increase. In addition, our insurance policies may not recover all of our property replacement costs and lost revenue resulting from an attack. We might not be able to pass through the increased costs associated with such increased security measures and insurance to our tenants, which could reduce our profitability and cash flow. Furthermore, any terrorist attacks or armed conflicts could result in increased volatility in or damage to the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. Such adverse economic conditions could affect the ability of our tenants to pay rent and our cost of capital, which could have a negative impact on our results.

Our ability to make distributions is subject to various risks.

Historically, we have paid quarterly distributions to our shareholders. Our ability to make distributions in the future will depend upon:

• the operational and financial performance of our properties;

• capital expenditures with respect to existing, developed and newly acquired properties;

• general and administrative costs associated with our operation as a publicly-held REIT;

• the amount of, and the interest rates on, our debt;

• capital needs of our Real Estate Ventures; and

• the absence of significant expenditures relating to environmental and other regulatory matters.

Certain of these matters are beyond our control and any significant difference between our expectations and actual results could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.

Changes in the tax rates and regulatory requirements may adversely affect our cash flow.

Because increases in income and service taxes are generally not passed through to tenants under leases, such increases may adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make expected distributions to shareholders. Our properties are also subject to various regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment, fire and safety. Our failure to comply with these requirements could result in the imposition of fines and damage awards and could result in a default under some of our tenant leases. Moreover, the costs to comply with any new or different regulations could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions. We cannot assure you that these requirements will not change or that newly imposed requirements will not require significant expenditures in order to be compliant.

Potential liability for environmental contamination could result in substantial costs.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be liable for the costs to investigate and remove or remediate hazardous or toxic substances on or in our properties, often regardless of whether we know of or are responsible for the presence of these substances. These costs may be substantial. While we do maintain environmental insurance, we cannot be assured that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to protect us from all of the aforesaid remediation costs. Also, if hazardous or toxic substances are present on a property, or if we fail to properly remediate such substances, our ability to sell or rent the property or to borrow using that property as collateral may be adversely affected.

Other laws and regulations govern indoor and outdoor air quality including those that can require the abatement or removal of asbestos-containing materials in the event of damage, demolition, renovation or remodeling and also govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. The maintenance and removal of lead paint and certain electrical equipment containing

26

polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and underground storage tanks are also regulated by federal and state laws. We are also subject to risks associated with human exposure to chemical or biological contaminants such as molds, pollens, viruses and bacteria which, above certain levels, can be alleged to be connected to allergic or other health effects and symptoms in susceptible individuals. We could incur fines for environmental compliance and be held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to the foregoing regulated substances or tanks or related claims arising out of environmental contamination or human exposure to contamination at or from our properties.

Additionally, we develop, manage, lease and/or operate various properties for third parties. Consequently, we may be considered to have been or to be an operator of these properties and, therefore, potentially liable for removal or remediation costs or other potential costs that could relate to hazardous or toxic substances.

Data security breaches may cause damage to our business and reputation.

In the ordinary course of our business we maintain sensitive data, including our proprietary business information and the information of our tenants and business partners, in our data centers and on our networks. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased in number, intensity and sophistication. Notwithstanding the security measures undertaken, our information technology may be vulnerable to attacks or breaches resulting in proprietary information being publicly disclosed, lost or stolen.  There can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and may not be recognized or detected until launched against a target. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures.

Data and security breaches could:

• disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems and therefore our operations and/or those of our client tenants;

• result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants, missed reporting deadlines, and/or missed permitting deadlines;

• result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT;

• result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation, or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive, or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive, or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;

• result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our client tenants for the efficient use of their leased space;

• require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;

• subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties, or termination of leases or other agreements; and/or

• damage our reputation among our client tenants and investors generally.

While we maintain insurance coverage that may, subject to policy terms and conditions including deductibles, cover certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses.

Americans with Disabilities Act compliance could be costly.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (“ADA”), requires that all public accommodations and commercial facilities, including office buildings, meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with ADA requirements could involve the removal of structural barriers from certain disabled persons’ entrances which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Other federal, state and local laws may require modifications to or restrict further renovations of our properties with respect to such accesses. Noncompliance with the ADA or similar or related laws or regulations could result in the United States government imposing fines or private litigants being awarded damages against us. In addition, changes to existing requirements or enactments of new requirements could require significant expenditures. Such costs may adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders.

Failure to qualify as a REIT would subject us to U.S. federal income tax which would reduce the cash available for distribution to our shareholders.

We operate our business to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We have not requested and do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this Report are not binding on the IRS or any court. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Many of the REIT requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. The determination that we are a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that may not be totally within our control. For example, to qualify as a REIT, at least 95%

27

of our gross income must come from specific passive sources, such as rent, that are itemized in the REIT tax laws. In addition, to qualify as a REIT, we cannot own specified amounts of debt and equity securities of some issuers. We also are required to distribute to our shareholders with respect to each year at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains). The fact that we hold substantially all of our assets through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and real estate ventures further complicates the application of the REIT requirements for us. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status and, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs and the ongoing importance of factual determinations, we cannot provide any assurance that we will continue to qualify as a REIT. Changes to the rules governing REITS were made by the Protecting Americans From Tax Hikes Act of 2015, signed into law on December 18, 2015, and Congress and the IRS might make further changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new rulings, that make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and are able to avail ourselves of one or more of the statutory savings provisions in order to maintain our REIT status, we would nevertheless be required to pay penalty taxes of $50,000 or more for each such failure.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Internal Revenue Code, we would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates on all of our income. As a taxable corporation, we would not be allowed to take a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing our taxable income or pass through long term capital gains to individual shareholders at favorable rates. We also could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes. We would not be able to elect to be taxed as a REIT for four years following the year we first failed to qualify unless the IRS were to grant us relief under certain statutory provisions. If we failed to qualify as a REIT, we would have to pay significant income taxes, which would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to our shareholders. This likely would have a significant adverse effect on our earnings and likely would adversely affect the value of our securities. In addition, we would no longer be required to pay any distributions to shareholders.

Failure of the Operating Partnership (or a subsidiary partnership or real estate venture) to be treated as a partnership would have serious adverse consequences to our shareholders.

If the IRS were to successfully challenge the tax status of the Operating Partnership or any of its subsidiary partnerships or real estate ventures for federal income tax purposes, the Operating Partnership or the affected subsidiary partnership or real estate venture would be taxable as a corporation. In such event we would cease to qualify as a REIT and the imposition of a corporate tax on the Operating Partnership, subsidiary partnership or real estate venture would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution from the Operating Partnership to us and ultimately to our shareholders.

To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to borrow funds on a short term basis during unfavorable market conditions.

As a REIT, we are subject to certain distribution requirements, including the requirement to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income. That may result in our having to make distributions at a disadvantageous time or to borrow funds at unfavorable rates. Compliance with this requirement may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

We will pay some taxes even if we qualify as a REIT, which will reduce the cash available for distribution to our shareholders.

Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we will be required to pay certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property. For example, we will be subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, including capital gains. Additionally, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which dividends paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. Moreover, if we have net income from “prohibited transactions,” that income will be subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to that sale. We cannot guarantee that sales of our properties would not be prohibited transactions unless we comply with certain statutory safe-harbor provisions.

In addition, any net taxable income earned directly by our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or through entities that are disregarded for federal income tax purposes as entities separate from our taxable REIT subsidiaries, will be subject to federal and possibly state corporate income tax. In this regard, several provisions of the laws applicable to REITs and their subsidiaries ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to an appropriate level of federal income taxation. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiary is limited in its ability to deduct certain interest payments made to an affiliated REIT. In addition, the REIT has to pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments that it receives or on some deductions taken by a taxable REIT subsidiary if the economic arrangements between the REIT, the REIT’s customers, and the taxable REIT subsidiary are not comparable to similar arrangements between unrelated parties. Finally, some state and local jurisdictions may tax some of our income even though as a REIT we are not subject to federal income tax on that income because not all states and localities follow the federal income tax treatment of REITs. To the extent that we and our affiliates are required to pay federal, state and local taxes, we will have less cash available for distributions to our shareholders.

28

We face possible federal, state and local tax audits.

Because we are organized and qualify as a REIT, we are generally not subject to federal income taxes, but are subject to certain state and local taxes. Certain entities through which we own real estate have undergone tax audits.  There can be no assurance that future audits will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Legislative or regulatory tax changes related to REIT’s could materially and adversely affect our business.

At any time, the federal income tax laws or regulations governing REITs or the other administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations may be changed, possibly with retroactive effect. We cannot predict if or when any new federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, or any amendment to any existing federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, will be adopted, promulgated or become effective or whether any such law, regulation or interpretation may take effect retroactively. We and our shareholders could be adversely affected by any such change in, or any new, federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation.

Competition for skilled personnel could increase labor costs.

We compete with various other companies in attracting and retaining qualified and skilled personnel. We depend on our ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel who are responsible for the day-to-day operations of our company. Competitive pressures may require that we enhance our pay and benefits package to compete effectively for such personnel. We may not be able to offset such added costs by increasing the rates we charge our tenants. If there is an increase in these costs or if we fail to attract and retain qualified and skilled personnel, our business and operating results could be harmed.

We are dependent upon our key personnel.

We are dependent upon our key personnel, particularly Gerard H. Sweeney - President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Wirth - Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Jeffrey DeVuono - Executive Vice President and Senior Managing Director, William Redd – Executive Vice President and Senior Managing Director and George Johnstone - Executive Vice President, Operations. Among the reasons that Messrs. Sweeney, Wirth, DuVuono, Redd and Johnstone are important to our success is that each has a beneficial reputation, which attracts business and investment opportunities and assists us in negotiations with lenders, joint venture partners and other investors.  If we lost their services, our relationships with lenders, potential tenants and industry personnel could be affected. We are dependent on our other executive officers for strategic business direction and real estate experience. Loss of their services could adversely affect our operations.

Certain limitations will exist with respect to a third party’s ability to acquire us or effectuate a change in control.

Limitations imposed to protect our REIT status. In order to protect us against the loss of our REIT status, our Declaration of Trust limits any shareholder from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding shares, although we have granted in the past, and may continue to grant in the future certain waivers of this limitation to certain shareholders under certain conditions. The ownership limit may have the effect of precluding acquisition of control of us. If anyone acquires shares in excess of the ownership limit, we may:

• consider the transfer to be null and void;

• not reflect the transaction on our books;

• institute legal action to stop the transaction;

• not pay dividends or other distributions with respect to those shares;

• not recognize any voting rights for those shares; and

• consider the shares held in trust for the benefit of a person to whom such shares may be transferred.

Limitation due to our ability to issue preferred shares. Our Declaration of Trust authorizes our Board of Trustees to cause us to issue preferred shares, without limitation as to amount and without shareholder consent. Our Board of Trustees is able to establish the preferences and rights of any preferred shares issued and these shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking control of us, even if a change in control were in our shareholders’ best interests.

Limitation imposed by the Maryland Business Combination Law. The Maryland General Corporation Law, as applicable to Maryland REITs, establishes special restrictions against “business combinations” between a Maryland REIT and “interested shareholders” or their affiliates unless an exemption is applicable. An interested shareholder includes a person, who beneficially owns, and an affiliate or associate of the trust who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of, ten percent or more of the voting power of our then-outstanding voting shares. Among other things, Maryland law prohibits (for a period of five years) a merger and certain other transactions between a Maryland REIT and an interested shareholder unless the board of trustees had approved the transaction before the party became an interested shareholder. The five-year period runs from the most recent date on which the interested shareholder became an interested shareholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be

29

recommended by the board of trustees and approved by two super-majority shareholder votes unless, among other conditions, the common shareholders receive a minimum price for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for our shares or unless the board of trustees approved the transaction before the party in question became an interested shareholder. The business combination statute could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if the acquisition would be in our shareholders’ best interests.

Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Maryland law provides that “control shares” of a REIT acquired in a “control share acquisition” shall have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the vote eligible to be cast on the matter under the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Shares construed as “control shares” means that, if aggregated with all other shares previously acquired by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing trustees within one of the following ranges of voting power: one-tenth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority or a majority or more of all voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained shareholder approval. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions. If voting rights or control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are not approved at a shareholder’s meeting, then subject to certain conditions and limitations the issuer may redeem any or all of the control shares for fair value. If voting rights of such control shares are approved at a shareholder’s meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other shareholders may exercise appraisal rights. Any control shares acquired in a control share acquisition which are not exempt under our Bylaws are subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Our Bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of our shares. We cannot assure you that this provision will not be repealed, amended or eliminated by us at any time in the future.

Maryland Unsolicited Takeover Act.  Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the Maryland General Corporation Law permits our Board of Trustees, without shareholder approval, and regardless of what is currently in our charter or bylaws, to implement (i) a classified board; (ii) a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a trustee; (iii) a requirement that the number of trustees be fixed only by vote of the trustees; (iv) a requirement that a vacancy on the board be filled only by the remaining trustees and for the remainder of the full term of the class of trustees in which the vacancy occurred; and (v) a majority requirement for the calling by shareholders of a special meeting of shareholders.  This statute could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if the acquisition would be in our shareholders’ best interests.

Advance Notice Provisions for Shareholder Nominations and Proposals. Our bylaws require advance notice for shareholders to nominate persons for election as trustees at, or to bring other business before, any meeting of our shareholders. This bylaw provision limits the ability of shareholders to make nominations of persons for election as trustees or to introduce other proposals unless we are notified in a timely manner prior to the meeting.

Many factors can have an adverse effect on the market value of our securities.

A number of factors might adversely affect the price of our securities, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

• increases in market interest rates, relative to the dividend yield on our securities. If market interest rates go up, prospective purchasers of our securities may require a higher yield. Higher market interest rates would not, however, result in more funds for us to distribute and, to the contrary, would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our common shares to go down;

• anticipated benefit of an investment in our securities as compared to investment in securities of companies in other industries (including benefits associated with tax treatment of dividends and distributions);

• perception by market professionals of REITs generally and REITs comparable to us in particular;

• level of institutional investor interest in our securities;

• relatively low trading volumes in securities of REITs;

• our results of operations and financial condition; and

• investor confidence in the stock market generally.

The market value of our common shares is based primarily upon the market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions. Consequently, our common shares may trade at prices that are higher or lower than our net asset value per common share. If our future earnings or cash distributions are less than expected, it is likely that the market price of our common shares will diminish.

Additional issuances of equity securities may be dilutive to shareholders.

The interests of our shareholders could be diluted if we issue additional equity securities to finance future developments or acquisitions or to repay indebtedness. Our Board of Trustees may authorize the issuance of additional equity securities without shareholder approval. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends upon our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing,

30

including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, and equity financing, including the issuance of common and preferred equity.

The issuance of preferred securities may adversely affect the rights of holders of our common shares.

Because our Board of Trustees has the power to establish the preferences and rights of each class or series of preferred shares, we may afford the holders in any series or class of preferred shares preferences, distributions, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of common shares. Our Board of Trustees also has the power to establish the preferences and rights of each class or series of units in the Operating Partnership, and may afford the holders in any series or class of preferred units preferences, distributions, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of common units.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of integrated internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results.

An effective system of internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports, prevent fraud and operate successfully as a public company. As part of our ongoing monitoring of internal controls, we may discover material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls that we believe require remediation. If we discover such weaknesses, we will make efforts to improve our internal controls in a timely manner. Any system of internal controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls, or implement any necessary improvements in a timely manner, could have a materially adverse effect on our business and operating results, or cause us to not meet our reporting obligations, which could affect our ability to remain listed with the New York Stock Exchange. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our securities.

Changes in accounting pronouncements could adversely affect our operating results, in addition to the reported financial performance of our tenants.

Accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. Uncertainties posed by various initiatives of accounting standard-setting by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission, which create and interpret applicable accounting standards for U.S. companies, may change the financial accounting and reporting standards or their interpretation and application of these standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements.  

These changes could have a material effect on our reported financial condition and results of operations.  In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in potentially material restatements of prior period financial statements. Similarly, these changes could have a material impact on our tenants’ reported financial condition or results of operations or could affect our tenants’ preferences regarding leasing real estate.

Item 2. Properties

Property Acquisitions

On July 1, 2016, we closed on the acquisition of 34.6 acres of land located in Austin, Texas known as the Garza Ranch for a gross purchase price of $20.6 million. We accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and capitalized approximately $1.9 million of acquisition related costs and closing costs as part of land held for development on our consolidated balance sheet. We funded the acquisition with $20.4 million of available corporate funds, net of prorations and other adjustments. As of December 31, 2016, we were under agreement to sell 9.5 acres (of the 34.6 acres) to two unaffiliated third parties. As of December 31, 2016, the land under this agreement of sale did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the sale of 1.7 acres. We have a continuing involvement through a completion guaranty, which requires the Company, as developer, to complete certain infrastructure improvements on behalf of the buyers of the land parcels.

Developments

933 First Avenue

During the second quarter of 2016, we commenced construction of an 111,000 square foot, four-story, Class A office property located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.  We anticipate the project cost to total $28.7 million, of which $9.4 million had been funded through December 31, 2016. The project is 100% leased to a single tenant.

FMC Tower at Cira Centre South

As of December 31, 2016, we were substantially complete with the construction of the office component of FMC Tower in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The building contains a total of 870,000 square feet and is expected to cost $385.0 million, of which $367.0 million has been funded through December 31, 2016.  The remaining spend relates to tenant improvements and the residential component of FMC Tower, which is expected to be funded in the first half of 2017. See Item 1., “Business – Developments” for further details on the project.

Other Development Services

On December 3, 2015, we entered into an agreement as development manager to construct Subaru of America’s corporate headquarters (the “Subaru Headquarters Development”), an office property containing five floors and approximately 250,000 square feet, on land owned by Subaru and located in Camden, New Jersey. In addition to development fees, the agreement provides us the ability to earn additional profit if total project costs are less than the not-to-exceed (“NTE”) amount.  The NTE amount, currently at $78.1 million, may be adjusted by change orders agreed upon by both Subaru and us.  If construction costs exceed the NTE amount, we are obligated to pay the excess.  As of December 31, 2016, $39.9 million of the project costs had been funded.

Also on December 3, 2015, we entered into an agreement to construct an 83,000 square foot build-to-suit service center (the “Subaru NSTC Development”) on land parcels owned by us for Subaru of America as the single tenant. On such date, Subaru of America entered into an 18-year lease for the service center. The lease contains a purchase option, which allows Subaru to purchase the property at commencement of the lease, or five years subsequent to inception, at depreciated cost. We currently expect to deliver the building during the first quarter of 2018.  At December 31, 2016, $10.5 million of the project costs, totaling $29.3 million, had been funded.

As discussed above in Item 1., “Business - Developments,” as of December 31, 2016, we were proceeding through four of our unconsolidated real estate ventures’ development projects at 51 N Street and 1250 First Street in Washington, D.C, 1919 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and 4040 Wilson in Arlington, Virginia.

(a) Gain/(Loss) on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

(b) As of June 30, 2016, we determined that the sale of the property was probable and classified this property as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the property exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, we recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $1.8 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement. The loss on sale represents additional closing costs recognized at closing.

(c) During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, we recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $7.4 million on the properties. The loss on sale primarily relates to additional closing costs recognized at closing.

(d) Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 10, 2016 contains a complete list of the 58 properties disposed of in the transactions with Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of the transactions.

(e) During the three-month period ended December 31, 2015, we recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $45.4 million. The loss on sale represents additional closing costs recognized at closing.

(a) Gain on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

(b) The carrying value of the land exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale as of December 31, 2015, therefore we recognized an impairment loss of $0.3 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2015. There was no gain or loss recognized on the sale during 2016.

(a) As of December 31, 2016, we determined that the sale of three office properties in the Metropolitan D.C. segment was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded their fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $3.0 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. We measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.00% and 10.00%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market.

(b) As of December 31, 2016, we determined that the sale of two office properties in the Other segment was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $11.5 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. We measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.75% and 9.75%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market.

(c) As of December 31, 2016, we determined that the sale of a land parcel in the Other segment was probable and classified the land parcel as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the land approximated the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement.

The sales of properties referenced above do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on our operations and financial results. As a result, the operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented. See Note 21, "Subsequent Events," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding these dispositions.

Properties

As of December 31, 2016, we owned 113 properties that contain an aggregate of approximately 17.6 million net rentable square feet and consist of 93 office properties, seven mixed-use properties, one retail property (101 core properties), four development properties, three redevelopment properties and five properties classified as held for sale (collectively, the “Properties”).  The properties are located in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; Southern New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; Wilmington, Delaware; Austin Texas; and Concord, California. As of December 31, 2016, the properties, excluding development and redevelopment, were approximately 93.3% occupied by 825 tenants and had an average age of approximately 24.1 years. The office properties are a combination of urban and transit-oriented suburban office buildings containing an average of approximately 159,350 net rentable square feet. The mixed-use properties accommodate a variety of tenant uses, including retail, residential apartment units and a hotel. We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties, with policy specifications and insured limits which we believe are adequate.

The common shares of Brandywine Realty Trust are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “BDN.” There is no established trading market for units of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. On February 17, 2017, there were 614 holders of record of our common shares and 29 holders of record (in addition to Brandywine Realty Trust) of Class A units of the Operating Partnership. On February 17, 2017, the last reported sales price of the common shares on the NYSE was $16.31. The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sales price per common share reported on the NYSE for the indicated periods and the distributions paid by us with respect to each such period.

For each quarter in 2016 and 2015, the Operating Partnership paid a cash distribution per Class A unit in an amount equal to the dividend paid on a common share for each such quarter.

In order to maintain the status of Brandywine Realty Trust as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our taxable income (not including net capital gains). Future distributions will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flow, financial condition and capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant. Our credit facilities contain certain restrictions on the payment of dividends.  Those restrictions permit us to pay dividends to the greater of (i) an aggregate amount required by us to retain our qualification as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes and (ii) 95% of our funds from operations, (FFO). See Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured term Loan,” below and Note 7, “Debt Obligations,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Our Board of Trustees has adopted a dividend policy designed such that our distributions are consistent with our normalized taxable income for 2016.  On December 6, 2016, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend distribution of $0.16 per common share that was paid on January 25, 2017.  On December 8, 2015, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend distribution of $0.15 per common share that was paid on January 20, 2016.

We maintain a share repurchase program under which the Board of Trustees has authorized us to repurchase common shares of Brandywine Realty Trust with no expiration date. On July 22, 2015, our Board of Trustees authorized share repurchases of up to $100.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2016, there were no shares repurchased under the program. During the year ended December 31, 2015, 5,209,437 common shares were repurchased and retired at an average purchase price of $12.90 per share, totaling $67.3 million.

(a) During the fourth quarter of 2016, we adopted ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which provides guidance on how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows.  See Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. The adoption of this guidance resulted in a reclassification of debt extinguishment costs totaling $53.4 million from operating activities to financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016. There was no other impact from the adoption of this guidance.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere herein and is based primarily on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

OVERVIEW

We are a self-administered and self-managed REIT that provides leasing, property management, development, redevelopment, acquisition and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of office, retail and mixed-use properties. As of December 31, 2016, we owned 113 properties that contain an aggregate of approximately 17.6 million net rentable square feet and consist of 93 office

42

properties, seven mixed-use properties, one retail property (101 core properties, collectively the “Core Properties”),  four development properties, three redevelopment properties andfive properties classified as held for sale (collectively, the “Properties”).  In addition, as of December 31, 2016, we owned economic interests in 14 unconsolidated real estate ventures (collectively, the “Real Estate Ventures”), of which seven own properties that contain approximately8.0million net rentable square feet of office space;twoown4.3acres of undeveloped parcels of land;twoown1.4 acres of land under active development; two own residential towers that contain 345 and 321 apartment units, respectively, and one owns an apartment complex that contains 398 units.As of December 31, 2016, we also owned 317 acres of undeveloped land, of which five acres were held for sale, and held options to purchase approximately 60 additional acres of undeveloped land.  As of December 31, 2016, the total potential development that these land parcels could support, including the parcels under option, under current zoning and entitlements, amounted to 12.3 million square feet.  The Properties and the properties owned by the Real Estate Ventures are located in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; Southern New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; Wilmington, Delaware; Austin, Texas and Concord, California. In addition to managing properties that we own, as of December 31, 2016, we were managing approximately 10.5 million net rentable square feet of office and industrial properties for third parties and Real Estate Ventures.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this report to square feet represent rentable area. We do not have any foreign operations and our business is not seasonal. Our operations are not dependent on a single tenant or a few tenants and no single tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total 2016 revenue.

Prior to the MAP Venture formation on February 4, 2016, (See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures” to our Consolidated Financial Statements), our consolidated portfolio included 20 industrial properties. As of December 31, 2016, we held four remaining industrial properties in Core Properties, which we reclassified as mixed-use.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we were managing our portfolio within five markets; (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia Central Business District (“CBD”), (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C. (4) Austin, Texas and (5) Other. Subsequent to the Och-Ziff Sale, the markets previously defined as New Jersey/Delaware and California are nowbeingmanaged as a consolidated segment entitled “Other,” as these geographies no longer provide a significant revenue contribution. The Pennsylvania Suburbs segment includes properties in Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties in the Philadelphia suburbs. The Philadelphia CBD segment includes properties located in the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment includes properties in Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. and southern Maryland. The Austin, Texas segment includes properties in the City of Austin, Texas. The Other segment includes properties in Burlington and Camden counties in New Jersey, properties in New Castle county in the state of Delaware and properties in the City of Concord in California. Our corporate group is responsible for cash and investment management, development of certain real estate properties during the construction period, and certain other general support functions.

We generate cash and revenue from leases of space at our properties and, to a lesser extent, from the management of properties owned by third parties and from investments in the Real Estate Ventures. Factors that we evaluate when leasing space include rental rates, costs of tenant improvements, tenant creditworthiness, current and expected operating costs, the length of the lease term, vacancy levels and demand for office and industrial space. We also generate cash through sales of assets, including assets that we do not view as part of our Core Properties, either because of location or expected growth potential, and assets that are commanding premium prices from third party investors.

The following highlights our financial results for year the ended December 31, 2016:

•Net income/(loss) available to common shareholders increased by $70.5 million to $32.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to a $37.6 million loss for the corresponding period in 2015.

•Funds from operations available to common share and unit holders (“FFO”) decreased from $261.8 million or $1.45 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015, to $167.0 million or $0.94 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2016 (see additional disclosure in the “Funds From Operations (FFO)” section below).

•Same Store net operating income increased 1.1% for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period in 2015 (see additional disclosure on Same Store net operating income in  “Results of Operations” section below).

•Core Occupancy increased from 93.5% at December 31, 2015, to 93.9% at December 31, 2016.

Factors that May Influence Future Results of Operations

Global Market and Economic Conditions

In the U.S., market and economic conditions have been improving, characterized by more availability to credit, increasing interest rates and modest growth. While recent economic data reflects modest growth, the cost and availability of credit may be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. Volatility in the U.S. and international markets and economies may

43

adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and the liquidity and financial condition of our tenants. The continuation of any adverse market conditions may limit our ability, as well as the ability of our tenants, to timely refinance maturing liabilities and access capital markets to meet liquidity needs.

Real Estate Asset Valuation

General economic conditions and the resulting impact on market conditions or a downturn in tenants’ businesses may adversely affect the value of our assets. Challenging economic conditions in the U.S., declining demand for leased office, industrial, retail, or mixed-use properties and/or a decrease in market rental rates and/or market values of real estate assets in our submarkets could have a negative impact on the value of our properties. If we were required under GAAP to write down the carrying value of any of our properties due to impairment, or if as a result of an early lease termination we were required to remove or dispose of material amounts of tenant improvements that are not reusable to another tenant, our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected.

Leasing Activity and Rental Rates

The amount of net rental income generated by our properties depends principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space, newly developed or redeveloped properties and space available from unscheduled lease terminations. The amount of rental income we generate also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates in our submarkets. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental income in future periods.

Equity Method Investment Valuation

Our equity method investments, consisting of our investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures, may be adversely affected by changes in the real estate markets in which they operate.  Under the equity method, investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings, cash contributions, less distributions and impairments.  As required under accounting rules, we periodically evaluate and assess our equity method investments for other than temporary impairment. In valuing our equity method investments, fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals. However, such quoted data and other market information can vary, even for the same properties. To the extent that the real estate markets deteriorate or we are unable to lease our development projects, it could result in declines in the fair value of our equity method investments that are other than temporary and, we may realize losses that never materialize or we may fail to recognize losses in the appropriate period. Rapidly changing conditions in the real estate markets in which we operate increase the complexity of valuing our equity method investments and our judgments and methodologies materially impact the valuation of the investments as reported in our financial statements.

Development and Redevelopment Programs

Historically, a significant portion of our growth has come from our development and redevelopment efforts. We have a proactive planning process by which we continually evaluate the size, timing, costs and scope of our development and redevelopment programs and, as necessary, scale activity to reflect the economic conditions and the real estate fundamentals that exist in our strategic submarkets. We are currently proceeding on certain development and redevelopment projects, and we take a cautious and selective approach when determining if a certain development or redevelopment project will benefit our portfolio.

In addition, we may be unable to lease committed development or redevelopment properties at underwritten rental rates or within projected timeframes or complete development or redevelopment properties on schedule or within budgeted amounts, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Financial and Operating Performance

Our financial and operating performance is dependent upon the demand for office, residential and retail space in our markets, our leasing results, our acquisition, disposition and development activity, our financing activity, our cash requirements and economic and market conditions, including prevailing interest rates.

Adverse changes in economic conditions could result in a reduction of the availability of financing and potentially in higher borrowing costs. Vacancy rates may increase, and rental rates may decline, during 2017 and possibly beyond as the current economic climate may negatively impact tenants.

Overall economic conditions, including but not limited to higher unemployment and deteriorating financial and credit markets, could have a dampening effect on the fundamentals of our business, including increases in past due accounts, tenant defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. These adverse conditions would negatively affect our future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. We believe that the quality of our assets and our strong balance sheet will enable us to raise debt capital, if necessary, in various forms and from different sources, including traditional term or secured

44

loans from banks, pension funds and life insurance companies. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to borrow funds on terms that are economically attractive or at all.

(1) Includes all Core Properties and does not include properties under development, redevelopment or held for sale or sold.

(2) Includes leasing related to completed developments and redevelopments, as well as sold properties.

(3) Rental rates include base rent plus reimbursement for operating expenses and real estate taxes.

(4) Calculated on a weighted average basis.

In seeking to increase revenue through our operating, financing and investment activities, we also seek to minimize operating risks, including (i) tenant rollover risk, (ii) tenant credit risk and (iii) development risk.

Tenant Rollover Risk:

We are subject to the risk that tenant leases, upon expiration, will not be renewed, that space may not be relet, or that the terms of renewal or reletting (including the cost of renovations) may be less favorable to us than the current lease terms. Leases that accounted for approximately 6.8% of our aggregate final annualized base rents as of December 31, 2016 (representing approximately 8.3% of the net rentable square feet of the properties) are scheduled to expire without penalty in 2017.  We maintain an active dialogue with our tenants in an effort to maximize lease renewals. For our Core Properties, the retention rate for the year ended December 31, 2016 is 69.5% compared to a retention rate of 77.1% for the year ended December 31, 2015. The lower relative retention for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily resulted from the expiration of a lease for a large tenant in our Pennsylvania Suburbs segment. Rental rates on leases expiring during 2016 did not deviate significantly from market renewal rates in the regions in which we operate. If we are unable to renew leases or relet space under expiring leases, at anticipated rental rates, or if tenants terminate their leases early, our cash flow would be adversely impacted.

Tenant Credit Risk:

In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. Our management regularly evaluates our accounts receivable reserve policy in light of our tenant base and general and local economic conditions. Our accounts receivable allowance was $16.1 million or 9.0% of total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of December 31, 2016 compared to $16.2 million or 9.1% of total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of December 31, 2015.

If poor economic conditions materialize, we may experience increases in past due accounts, defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. This condition would negatively affect our future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Development Risk:

933 First Avenue

During the second quarter of 2016, we commenced construction of an 111,000 square foot, four-story, Class A office property located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.  We anticipate the project cost to total $28.7 million, of which $9.4 million had been funded through December 31, 2016. The project is 100% leased to a single tenant.

FMC Tower at Cira Centre South

On October 31, 2013, we determined to proceed with development of the FMC Tower at Cira Centre South (the “FMC Tower”), designed as a trophy class, mixed-use office tower at 30th and Walnut Streets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a 49-story mixed-use office tower on a site ground leased from the University of Pennsylvania. FMC Tower includes approximately 625,000 square feet of office space, 268 hotel and extended stay suites and a restaurant, with an additional floor containing a full range of amenities. As of December 31, 2016, the office component was substantially complete and placed into service. We expect to place into service during the first half of 2017 the residential component of the project, consisting of 268 luxury residential apartments and hotel units.  

We have reduced development risk by pre-leasing, as of February 1, 2017, an aggregate of 96% of the office square feet at FMC Tower.  FMC Corporation, a diversified chemical company serving agricultural, consumer and industrial markets globally, is the anchor tenant at the FMC Tower and has leased approximately 280,000 square feet of office space. The lease with FMC Corporation has an initial term of sixteen (16) years from initial occupancy. In addition, we also leased approximately 100,000 square feet of office space to the University of Pennsylvania under a 20-year lease.

We anticipate the project cost to total $385.0 million, of which $367.0 million has been funded through December 31, 2016. We intend to fund remaining development costs through a combination of potential sources, including existing cash balances, availability under our unsecured revolving credit facility and proceeds from asset sales.  The costs to complete the project will be funded over the construction period, which commenced in the second quarter of 2014 and is scheduled to be substantially complete during the first half of 2017.

Our ground lease with the University of Pennsylvania has a term through July 2097, with a variable rent that would provide the University of Pennsylvania with a percentage of the cash flow or proceeds of specified capital events subject to receipt of a priority return on the eligible investments.

1919 Ventures

On October 27, 2014, 1919 Ventures, a 50/50 joint venture between LCOR and us, announced a planned 29-story, 455,000 square foot contemporary glass tower development at 1919 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The tower has been designed as a mixed-use development consisting of residential, retail and parking components and was substantially complete on September 30, 2016. The residential component of the project is comprised of 321 luxury apartments and was 76% leased as of December 31, 2016. The commercial space consists of 24,000 square feet and was 100% pre-leased at December 31, 2016.  The parking component consists of a 215-car structured parking facility.  Total project costs are estimated at $148.1 million.  A portion of the costs are being funded with proceeds of an $88.9 million secured construction loan from an unaffiliated institutional lender, and the remaining $59.2 million was fully funded with equity contributions from each of us and LCOR. As of December 31, 2016, $79.3 million was outstanding on the construction loan and equity contributions of $29.6 million had been funded by each of us and LCOR. The remaining project costs of $9.6 million relate to the amenities floor within the project.

4040 Wilson Venture

4040 Wilson, a 50/50 joint venture between Ashton Park and us, expects to develop a 426,000 square foot office building on a 1.3 acre land parcel contributed by Ashton Park to 4040 Wilson at an agreed upon valuation of $36.0 million. The total estimated project costs are $202.0 million, which we expect will be financed through approximately $72.0 million of partner capital contributions (consisting of $36.0 million in cash from us, of which $35.6 million has been funded to date, and land with a value of $36.0 million from Ashton Park), with the remaining balance funded by debt financing through an unaffiliated construction loan. During the second quarter of 2015, 4040 Wilson completed the construction of the garage structure.  We expect groundbreaking on the building structure to commence upon achievement of certain pre-leasing levels, at which point 4040 Wilson expects to obtain debt financing for the remainder of the project costs. During the first quarter of 2016, 4040 Wilson obtained a land loan in order to fund the predevelopment and carry costs of the venture in the amount of $5.8 million. As of December 31, 2016, there was $1.0 million outstanding on the loan. If 4040 Wilson is unable to achieve the preleasing targets agreed upon by the partners, our equity method investment in 4040 Wilson could become other than temporarily impaired. We received an appraisal from an independent valuation expert to support our conclusion that the fair value of 4040 Wilson’s underlying real estate, if liquidated, is in excess of our current equity method investment basis as of December 31, 2016.

46

Land Holdings

As of December 31, 2016, we owned approximately 317 acres of undeveloped land, five acres of which were held for sale, and we held options to purchase approximately 60 additional acres of undeveloped land. As market conditions warrant, we will seek to opportunistically dispose of those parcels that we do not anticipate developing. For parcels of land that we ultimately develop, we will be subject to risks and costs associated with land development, including building moratoriums and the inability to obtain necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental approvals, construction cost increases or overruns and construction delays, and insufficient occupancy rates and rental rates.  As of December 31, 2016, the total potential development that these land parcels could support amounted to 12.3 million square feet.

Development projects are subject to a variety of risks, including construction delays, construction cost overruns, inability to obtain financing on favorable terms, inability to lease space at projected rates, inability to enter into construction, development and other agreements on favorable terms, and unexpected environmental and other hazards.  See Item 1A., “Risk Factors.”

Although we continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire assets, the abundance of capital and demand for assets has resulted in increasing prices. As a result, in the current environment we are able to develop properties at a cost per square foot that is generally less than the cost at which we can acquire older existing properties, thereby generating relatively better returns with lower annual maintenance expenses and capital costs. Accordingly, we believe that successful lease-up and completion of our development pipeline will enhance our long-term return on equity and earnings growth as these developments are placed in-service.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Certain accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as they require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and changes in the accounting estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For a summary of all of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.

Operating Properties

Operating properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of operating properties reflects their purchase price or development cost. Acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred, whereas the costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized as incurred.  Costs incurred for the renovation and betterment of an operating property are capitalized to our investment in that property. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Purchase Price Allocation

We allocate the purchase price of properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) our estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease (includes the below market fixed renewal period, if applicable). Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase of rental income over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases, including any fixed-rate renewal option periods that are considered probable.

Other intangible assets also include in-place leases based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant. We estimate the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate bargain renewal periods. Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers or by using independent appraisals. Factors considered by us in this analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rents at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from four to twelve months. We

47

also consider information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. We also use the information obtained as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence as part of our consideration of the accounting standard governing asset retirement obligations and when necessary, will record a conditional asset retirement obligation as part of its purchase price.  We also evaluate tenant relationships on a tenant-specific basis.  On certain of our acquisitions this intangible has been deemed immaterial, in which case no related intangible asset value is assigned.

In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, is charged to expense and market rate adjustments (above or below) are recorded to revenue.

We record development acquisitions that do not meet the accounting criteria to be accounted for as business combinations at the purchase price paid. Costs directly associated with acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets for impairment following the end of each quarter using cash flow projections and estimated fair values for each of the properties included within our impairment analysis. We update leasing and other assumptions regularly, paying particular attention to properties where there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impairment in value. Additionally, we consider strategic decisions regarding the future development plans for property under development and land held for development and other market factors. For long-lived assets to be held and used, we analyze recoverability based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the operations and eventual disposition of the assets over, in most cases, a 10-year hold period. If there is significant possibility that we will dispose of assets earlier, we analyze the recoverability using a probability weighted analysis of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the operations and eventual disposition of each asset using various possible hold periods. If the recovery analysis indicates that the carrying value of the tested property is not recoverable, the property is written down to its fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. In such case, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. If and when our plans change, we revise our recoverability analysis to use cash flows expected from operations and eventual disposition of each asset using hold periods that are consistent with our revised plans.

Estimated cash flows used in such analysis are based on our plans for the property and our views of market economic conditions. The estimates consider factors such as current and future rental rates, occupancies for the tested property and comparable properties, estimated operating and capital expenditures and recent sales data for comparable properties; most of these factors are influenced by market data obtained from real estate leasing and brokerage firms and the our direct experience with the properties and their markets.

We generally consider assets to be “held for sale” when the transaction has been approved by our Board of Trustees, or by officers vested with authority to approve the transaction and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale of the property within one year of the consideration date and the consummation of the transaction is otherwise considered probable. When a property is designated as held for sale, we stop depreciating the property and estimate the property’s fair value, net of selling costs. If the determination is made that the estimated fair value, net of selling costs, is less than the net carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recognized, reducing the net carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value, less selling costs. For periods in which a property is classified as held for sale, we classify the assets of the property as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet for such periods.

The relevant accounting guidance for impairments requires that qualifying assets and liabilities and the results of operations that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as “held for sale,” be presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations and financial results. The components of the property’s net income that is reflected as discontinued operations include the net gain (or loss) upon the disposition of the property held for sale, operating results, depreciation and interest expense (if the property is subject to a secured loan).

Impairment of Land Held for Development

When demand for build-to-suit office space declines and the ability to sell land held for development deteriorates, or other market factors indicate a possible impairment in the recoverability of land held for development, it is reviewed for impairment by comparing its fair value to its carrying value. If the estimated sales value is less than the carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value.  

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

We consolidate variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their endeavors without additional financial support or that the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity

48

having both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct those matters that most significantly impacted the activities of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIEthat could potentially be significant to the VIE. For entities that we have the obligations to fund losses, our maximum exposure to loss is not limited to the carrying amount of its investments.  

When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, we consolidate entities for which we have significant decision making control over the entity’s operations. Our judgement with respect to the level of influence or control of an entity involves consideration of various factors including the form of our ownership interest, its representation in the entity’s governance, the size of its investment (including loans), estimates of future cash flows, our ability to participate in policy making decisions and the rights of the other investors to participate in the decision making process and to replace us as manager and/or liquidate the venture, if applicable. The assessment of our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our consolidated financial statements. In addition to evaluating control rights, we consolidate entities in which the outside partner has no substantive kick-out rights to remove us as managing member. We continuously assesses our determination of the primary beneficiary for each entity and assesses reconsideration events that may cause a change in the original determinations. The portion of the consolidated entities that is not owned by us is presented as non-controlling interest as of and during the periods consolidated. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Under the equity method, investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures are recorded initially at cost, as investments in Real Estate Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings, cash contributions, less distributions and impairments. For Real Estate Ventures that are constructing assets to commence planned principal operations, we capitalize interest expense using our weighted average interest rate and our investment balance as a basis. Planned principal operations commence when a property is available to lease and at that point in time we cease capitalizing interest to our investment basis.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of our investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. Our estimates of value for each investment (particularly in commercial real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. These factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions; accordingly, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases from the later of the date of the commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to existing leases. Deferred rents on the balance sheet represent rental revenue received prior to their due dates and amounts paid by the tenant for certain improvements considered to be landlord assets that will remain as our property at the end of the tenant’s lease term. The amortization of the amounts paid by the tenant for such improvements is calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the tenant’s lease and is a component of straight-line rental income. Lease incentives, which are included as reductions of rental revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

In addition, our rental revenue is impacted by our determination of whether improvements to the properties, whether made by us or by the tenant, are landlord assets. The determination of whether an improvement is a landlord asset requires judgment.  In making this judgment, our primary consideration is whether the improvement would be utilizable by another tenant upon move out of the improved space by the then-existing tenant. If we have funded an improvement that we determine not to be landlord assets, then we treat the cost of the improvement as lease incentives. If the tenant has funded the improvement that we determine to be landlord assets, then we treat the costs of the improvement as deferred revenue and amortizes this cost into revenue over the lease term.

Our leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of a portion of common area maintenance expenses and other operating expenses to the extent that a tenant’s pro rata share of expenses exceeds a base year level set in the lease or to the extent that the tenant has a lease on a triple net basis. For certain leases, we make significant assumptions and judgments in determining the lease term, including assumptions when the lease provides the tenant with an early termination option. The lease term impacts the period over which we determine and record minimum rents and also impacts the period over which we amortize lease-related costs.

Recoveries from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance expenses, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period during which the expenses are incurred.

Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented in accordance with accounting guidance which requires that these reimbursements be recorded on a gross basis because we are generally the primary obligor with respect to the goods and services the purchase of which gives rise to the reimbursement obligation; because we have discretion in selecting the vendors and suppliers; and

49

because we bear the credit risk in the event they do not reimburse us. We also receive payments from third parties for reimbursement of a portion of the payroll and payroll-related costs for certain of our personnel allocated to perform services for these third parties and reflects these payments on a gross basis.

We recognize gains on sales of real estate at times and in amounts determined in accordance with the accounting guidance for sales of real estate. The guidance takes into account the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement, including in the form of management, leasing of space or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria for the full accrual method are not met, then we defer some or all of the gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the finance, leasing, profit sharing, deposit, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, until the sales criteria are met.

We derive parking revenues from leases, monthly parking and transient parking. We recognize parking revenue as earned.

We receive leasing commission income, management fees and development fees from third parties. Leasing commission income is earned based on a percentage of gross rental income upon a tenant signing a lease with a third party lessor. Property management fees are recorded and earned based on a percentage of collected rents at the properties under management, and not on a straight-line basis, because such fees are contingent upon the collection of rents. We record development fees on a percentage of completion basis taking into account the risk associated with each project.

We recognize fees received for lease terminations as revenue and write off against such revenue any deferred rents receivable. The resulting net amount is the net revenue from the early termination of the leases. When a tenant's lease for space in a property is terminated early but the tenant continues to lease such space under a new or modified lease in the property, the net revenue from the early termination of the lease is recognized evenly over the remaining life of the new or modified lease in place on that property, unless we cannot determine that collectability of the lease termination revenue is reasonably assured.

Income Taxes

Parent Company

The Parent Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). In addition, the Parent Company may elect to treat one or more of its subsidiaries as REITs. In order to continue to qualify as a REIT, the Parent Company and each of its REIT subsidiaries are required to, among other things, distribute at least 90% of their REIT taxable income to their stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of their income and assets. As REITs, the Parent Company and its REIT subsidiaries are not subject to federal income tax with respect to the portion of their income that meets certain criteria and is distributed annually to the stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to the operations of these REITs. The Parent Company and its REIT subsidiaries, if any, intend to continue to operate in a manner that allows them to continue to meet the requirements for taxation as REITs, including changes to the rules governing REITs made in the Protecting Americans From Tax Hikes Act 2015, signed into law on December 18, 2015. Many of these requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. If the Parent Company or one of its REIT subsidiaries were to fail to meet these requirements, they would be subject to federal income tax.

The Parent Company may elect to treat one or more of its subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS. In general, a TRS may perform additional services for our tenants and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the provision to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, of rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. The Parent Company has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as TRSs; these entities provide third party property management services and certain services to tenants that could not otherwise be provided.

Operating Partnership

In general, the Operating Partnership is not subject to federal and state income taxes, and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. The partners of the Operating Partnership are required to include their respective share of the Operating Partnership’s profits or losses in their respective tax returns. The Operating Partnership’s tax returns and the amount of allocable Partnership profits and losses are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such examination results in changes to the Operating Partnership profits or losses, then the tax liability of the partners would be changed accordingly.

The Operating Partnership may elect to treat one or several of its subsidiaries as REITs under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each subsidiary REIT has met or intends to meet the requirements for treatment as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, and, accordingly, no provision has been made for federal and state income taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. If any subsidiary REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, that

50

subsidiary REIT will be subject to federal and state income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Also, each subsidiary REIT may be subject to certain local income taxes.

The Operating Partnership has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as TRSs, which are subject to federal, state and local income tax.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents an estimate of losses that may be incurred from the inability of tenants to make required payments. The allowance is an estimate based on two calculations that are combined to determine the total amount reserved. First, we evaluate specific accounts where we have determined that a tenant may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these situations, we use our judgment, based on the facts and circumstances, and record a specific reserve for that tenant against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that we expect to collect. These reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information becomes available. Second, a reserve is established for all tenants based on a range of percentages applied to receivable aging categories. If the financial condition of our tenants were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required. For accrued rent receivables, we consider the results of the evaluation of specific accounts as well as other factors including assigning risk factors to different industries based on our tenants’ standard industrial classification. Considering various factors including assigning a risk factor to different industries, these percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience adjusted for current market conditions.

Deferred Costs

We incur direct costs related to the financing, development and leasing of our properties. Management exercises judgment in determining whether such costs, particularly internal costs, meet the criteria for capitalization or must be expensed. Capitalized financing fees are amortized over the related loan term on a basis that approximates the effective interest method while capitalized leasing costs are amortized over the related lease term. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as the creditworthiness of our tenants and economic and market conditions change.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is based on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. We believe that presentation of our consolidated financial information, without a breakdown by segment, will effectively present important information useful to our investors.

Net operating income (“NOI”) as presented in the comparative analysis below is defined as revenue less property operating expenses, real estate taxes and third party management expenses.  Property operating expenses that are included in determining NOI consist of costs that are necessary and allocable to our operating properties such as utilities, property-level salaries, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, management fees and bad debt expense. General and administrative expenses that are not reflected in NOI primarily consist of corporate-level salaries, amortization of share awards and professional fees that are incurred as part of corporate office management.  NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use internally to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate assets by segment, as presented in Note 18, “Segment Information,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and of our business as a whole. We believe that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expenses recorded at the property level, as well as the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unlevered basis. While NOI is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. NOI also does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expenses, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs. Trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact our results from operations are also not included in NOI. We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. See Note 18, “Segment Information,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of NOI to our consolidated net income (loss).

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2016 to the Year Ended December 31, 2015

The table below shows selected operating information for the “Same Store Property Portfolio” and the “Total Portfolio.” The Same Store Property Portfolio consists of 94 properties containing an aggregate of approximately 14.5 million net rentable square feet, and represents properties that we owned for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Same Store Property Portfolio includes properties acquired or placed in service on or prior to January 1, 2015 and owned through December 31, 2016. The Total Portfolio includes the effects of other properties that were either placed into service, acquired or redeveloped after January 1, 2015 or disposed prior to December 31, 2016.  A property is excluded from our Same Store Property Portfolio and moved into the redevelopment column in the period that we determine that a redevelopment would be the best use of the asset, and when said asset is

51

taken out of service or is undergoing re-entitlement for a future development strategy.  This table also includes a reconciliation from the Same Store Property Portfolio to the Total Portfolio net income (i.e., all properties owned by us during the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015) by providing information for the properties which were acquired, placed into service, under development or redevelopment and administrative/elimination information for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands).

The Total Portfolio net income (loss) presented in the table is equal to the net income (loss) of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership.

Total Revenue

Cash rents from the Total Portfolio decreased by $69.2 million from 2015 to 2016, primarily attributable to a decrease of $87.4 million from the 95 properties disposed of between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016 (the “2015 and 2016 Dispositions”) and a decrease of $0.8 million from Development/Redevelopment Properties.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $10.0 million in the Same Store Property Portfolio primarily due to positive cash rent growth and free rent converting to cash rent in the Philadelphia CBD segment in 2016 compared to 2015. The decrease was also offset by an increase of $8.9 million in Recently Completed/Acquired Properties resulting from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas and the acquisition of 618 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the second quarter of 2015.  

Straight-line rents increased by $5.4 million from 2015 to 2016, primarily due to an $8.8 million increase for Development/Redevelopment Properties due to free rent from the office component of the FMC Tower being placed into service during 2016 and an increase of $0.5 million in Recently Completed/Acquired Properties resulting from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $3.4 million from the 2015 and 2016 Dispositions and a decrease of $0.4 million in the Same Store Property Portfolio.    

Above/below market rent amortization decreased by $1.4 million from 2015 to 2016, primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.7 million in Development/Redevelopment Properties in the Philadelphia CBD segment and a $1.0 million decrease in the Same Store Property Portfolio.  These decreases are partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million in Recently Completed/Acquired Properties resulting from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015.

Tenant reimbursements from the Total Portfolio decreased $15.1 million from 2015 to 2016, primarily attributable to a decrease of $21.9 million from the 2015 and 2016 Dispositions and a decrease of $1.0 million related to a building in the Other segment which was taken out of service during 2016.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $4.1 million in the Same Store Property Portfolio, which trended along with the increase in operating expenses over the same period, a $3.5 million increase from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015 and a $0.2 million increase in the Development/Redevelopment Properties from the office component of the FMC Tower being placed into service during 2016.  Expense recoveries increased to 36.9% during 2016 compared to 35.4% in 2015 at the Same Store Property Portfolio.  

Termination fees at our Total Portfolio decreased by $2.5 million due to the timing and volume of early tenant move-outs during 2015 when compared to 2016.

Third party management fees, labor reimbursement and leasing income increased $7.9 million from 2015 to 2016, primarily attributable to construction management fees for the Subaru Headquarters Development in Camden, New Jersey, the formation of the MAP Venture during the first quarter of 2016 and the contribution of Encino Trace to the DRA Austin Venture during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Other income at our Total Portfolio decreased by $2.3 million from 2015 to 2016, primarily due to: (i) $1.2 million of recognized real estate tax assessment adjustments, (ii) $0.6 million in liquidating distributions from an unconsolidated partnership which was accounted for using the cost method for investments and (iii) $0.5 million from the receipt of escheat funds, recognized in 2015 with no similar other income earned during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses across our Total Portfolio decreased $28.2 million from 2015 to 2016, of which $33.2 million results from the 2015 and 2016 Dispositions. These decreases were partially offset by: (i) a $2.3 million increase in property operating expenses related to the office component of the FMC Tower being placed into service during 2016, (ii) a $0.7 million increase in parking related expenses and (iii) $1.9 million increase in office expenses, specifically advertising costs that did not occur in 2015 and an increase in parking taxes due to an increase in parking revenues primarily in our Philadelphia CBD segment.

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate taxes across our Total Portfolio decreased by $4.4 million from 2015 to 2016, of which $8.2 million results from the 2015 and 2016 Dispositions.  These decreases were offset by increases of $2.8 million in Recently Completed/Acquired Properties from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015 and $0.8 million from the Same Store Property Portfolio, primarily due to increased tax assessments in the Philadelphia CBD and Metropolitan D.C. segments.

54

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $29.4 million from 2015 to 2016, of which $42.0 million results from the 2015 and 2016 Dispositions and $1.5 million relates to a property in the Austin, Texas segment which was placed into redevelopment during 2016. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $9.0 million in Recently Completed/Acquired Properties from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $4.1 million in the Development/Redevelopment Portfolio from the office component of the FMC Tower being placed into service during 2016 and an increase of $1.0 million in the Same Store Property Portfolio as a result of the timing of tenant and capital improvement projects being completed and placed into service.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses across our Total Portfolio decreased by $2.8 million from 2015 to 2016, primarily attributable to a $1.1 million decrease in acquisition deal costs due to the acquisition of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015 with no comparable acquisitions during 2016, a decrease of $0.9 million in payroll and benefits due to the realignment of our corporate structure following the MAP Venture formation during 2016 and a decrease of $0.8 million in share-based compensation costs.

Provision for Impairment

During 2016, we recognized a provision for impairment consisting of the following:

• During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, we determined to dispose of two office properties located in the Other segment, and as the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the properties less their costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $11.5 million;

• during the quarter ended December 31, 2016, we determined to dispose of three office properties located in the Metropolitan D.C. segment, and as the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the properties less their costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $3.0 million;

• based on our held for use impairment analysis, we determined that we would not recover the carrying value of three properties located in our Other segment. Because we determined that the carrying value of these properties exceeded their fair value, a $7.3 million impairment charge was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2016;

• during the quarter ended December 31, 2016, we began marketing for sale certain vacant land parcels in our Other segment. Based on market data received related to five vacant land parcels it was determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair value of those vacant land parcels, and we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $5.6 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2016;

• based on our held for use impairment analysis, we determined that we would not recover the carrying value of two properties located in our Metropolitan D.C. segment. Because we determined that the carrying value of these properties exceeded their fair value, a $7.4 million impairment charge was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2016;

• based on our held for use impairment analysis, we determined that we would not recover the carrying value of a property located in our Metropolitan D.C. segment. Because we determined that the carrying value of this property exceeded its fair value, a $3.9 million impairment charge was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2016; and

• during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we determined to dispose of the office property at 1120 Executive Boulevard located in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, and as the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the property less the costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $1.8 million.

During 2015, we recognized a provision for impairment consisting of the following:

• We designated 58 office properties located in the Pennsylvania Suburbs; Metropolitan D.C.; Richmond, Virginia; and New Jersey/Delaware segments as held for sale of December 31, 2015. As the carrying value of these properties exceeded their fair value less the anticipated costs of sale, we recognized an impairment charge totaling $45.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2015;

• based on our held for use impairment analysis, we determined that we would not recover the carrying value of three properties located in our Metropolitan D.C. segment. Because we determined that the carrying value of these properties exceeded their fair value, a $27.5 million impairment charge was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2015;  

• during the quarter ended December 31, 2015, we determined to dispose of three office properties located in Carlsbad, California, a land parcel located in Berks County, Pennsylvania and a land parcel located in Wilmington, Delaware.   As the carrying value of these properties exceeded their fair value less the costs of sale, we recognized impairment losses totaling $6.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2015;

• during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we determined to dispose of the 100 Gateway Centre Parkway office property, and as the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the property less the costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $0.8 million, which approximates the cost of sale; and

55

• during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we determined to dispose of the Lake Merritt office property, and as the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the property less the costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $1.7 million, which approximates the cost of sale.

See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to these impairments.

Tax Credit Transaction Income

Tax Credit transaction income decreased $20.0 million from 2015 to 2016, of which $11.9 million relates to historic tax credits recognized during 2015 related to the rehabilitation of Cira Square located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and $8.1 million relates to the recognition of the New Markets Tax Credit related to the Cira Garage located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during 2015, with no such tax credit transaction income recognized during 2016.  See Note 16, “Tax Credit Transactions” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Interest Expense

The decrease in interest expense of $26.0 million from 2015 to 2016 is primarily due to the following;

• $12.6 million decrease related to the repayment of the mortgage debt on Cira Square and on a 1,662 parking space facility located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania commonly known as Cira South Garage during 2016;

• $6.8 million decrease related to the repayment of our 6.00% Guaranteed Note due 2016 on April 1, 2016;

• $3.9 million decrease related to the repayment of the Tyson’s Corner mortgage debt during 2015;

• $2.4 million decrease related to the refinance of Two Logan Square on April 7, 2016;

• $1.1 million decrease in interest expense related to the put option of the equity interest of US Bancorp (“USB”) in Cira Square to us. The put option was exercised on September 30, 2015 and USB's interest in Cira Square was assigned to us; and

• $0.7 million related to an increase in capitalized interest which is directly attributable to the development of the FMC Tower.

The decrease of $27.5 million in interest expense described above was partially offset by a $1.5 million increase as a result of an increase in the balance of our Term Loan C from $200.0 million to $250.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Interest Expense - Deferred Financing Costs

The decrease in interest expense – deferred financing costs of $1.9 million from 2015 to 2016 is primarily due to the following;

• $1.3 million related to the repayment of the Cira Square and Cira South Garage mortgage debt during 2016;

• $0.4 million related to the unsecured revolving credit facility that was refinanced upon maturity in 2015;

• $0.1 million as a result of extending the maturity date for the $250 million Term Loan during the fourth quarter of 2015; and

• $0.1 million related to the refinancing of One Commerce Square mortgage.

Interest Expense – Financing Obligation

The decrease in interest expense – financing obligation of $0.6 million is due to the deconsolidation of 3141 Fairview Park Drive to the Brandywine AI Venture.  See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Equity in Loss of Real Estate Ventures

The decrease in equity in loss of Real Estate Ventures of $10.7 million from 2015 to 2016 is primarily due to the following:

• $5.2 million of impairment expense recorded in the third quarter of 2016 at the Brandywine – AI Venture LLC, which represents our proportionate share of the venture’s impairment expense;

• $4.2 million of operating losses recognized from the MAP Venture, which was formed during the first quarter of 2016;

• $1.6 million of operating losses recognized from the 1919 Venture, whose development project was moved out of development and placed into service during  the second quarter of 2016; and

• $0.7 million of operating losses recognized from the Austin Venture due to the termination of a large tenant during the first quarter of 2016.

The decreases of $11.7 million described above were offset by a $1.0 million increase from the evo at Cira Centre South Venture due to increased occupancy and rental rates during 2016.

56

Net Gain on Sale of Interests in Real Estate

The $117.0 million net gain on disposition of real estate recognized during 2016 is primarily attributable to the $115.8 million gain on the sale of an office property known as Cira Square, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and a $2.4 million gain on the sale of three properties in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. In addition, we recorded $0.4 million of closing costs related to the sale of 58 properties to the MAP Venture and a loss on disposition of $0.8 million on the properties known as Metro Plaza I & II located in Herndon, Virginia. See Item 2., “Properties - Property Sales,” for further information.

During 2015, the $20.5 million net gain on disposition of interests in real estate resulted from the sale of 25 office properties located in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey; Wayne, Pennsylvania; King of Prussia, Pennsylvania; Richmond, Virginia; Newark/Wilmington, Delaware; Oakland and Carlsbad, California; and Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Net Gain on Sale of Undepreciated Real Estate

During 2016, the $9.2 million net gain on the sale of undepreciated real estate resulted from the $9.0 million net gain on the sale of a 0.9 acre land parcel located in Oakland, California and a $0.2 million net gain on the sale of a 2.0 acre parcel located in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.  

During 2015, the $3.0 million net gain on the sale of undepreciated real estate resulted from the sale of four land parcels totaling 14.7 acres located in Wilmington, Delaware; Mount Laurel, New Jersey; Austin, Texas; and Oakland, California.

Net Gain on Remeasurement of Investments in Real Estate Ventures

The $0.8 million gain recognized during 2015 resulted from the acquisition of the remaining interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, with no comparable transaction during 2016.

Net Gain on Real Estate Venture Transactions

For 2016, the $20.0 million gain on real estate venture transactions is primarily due to the following:

• $5.7 million from the sale of our entire 50% interest in the Coppell Associates real estate venture during the first quarter of 2016;

• $3.2 million from the disposition of the office property held by the 1000 Chesterbrook real estate venture;

• $7.0 million from the sale of our residual profits interest in the Invesco Venture;

• $3.2 million from the sale of our 25% interest in PJP V real estate venture;

• $0.5 million in additional proceeds received during 2016 from the 2015 sale of the Residence Inn real estate venture; and

• $0.4 million of additional cash received subsequent to settlement related to the aforementioned transactions, which were recorded as gains.

The $7.2 million gain recognized during 2015 consists of the $5.2 million gain recognized on the sale of our interest in the Residence Inn real estate venture and $2.0 million related to the contribution of Encino Trace to the Austin Venture.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

On January 14, 2016, we used borrowings from our $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility to fund the repayment of our $176.9 million mortgage and our $35.5 million mortgage which encumbered Cira Square and Cira South Garage, respectively. Each mortgage was repaid ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030, which resulted in prepayment penalties and non-cash charges for the write-off of deferred financing costs totaling $66.6 million. There were no comparable extinguishments of debt incurred during 2015.  

Net Income (Loss)

Net income increased by $71.2 million from 2015 to 2016 as a result of the factors described above.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Net income per share was $0.19 during 2016 as compared to net loss per share of ($0.21) during 2015 as a result of the factors described above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2015 to the Year Ended December 31, 2014

The table below shows selected operating information for the “Same Store Property Portfolio” and the “Total Portfolio.” The Same Store Property Portfolio consists of 107 properties containing an aggregate of approximately 15.7 million net rentable square feet, and represents properties that we owned for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Same Store Property Portfolio includes properties acquired or placed in service on or prior to January 1, 2014 and owned through December 31, 2015. The Total Portfolio includes the effects of other properties that were either placed into service, acquired or redeveloped after January 1, 2014 or disposed prior to December 31, 2015.  A property is excluded from our Same Store Property Portfolio and moved into the redevelopment column in the period that we determine that a redevelopment would be the best use of the asset, and when said asset is taken out of service or is undergoing re-entitlement for a future development strategy.  This table also includes a reconciliation from the Same Store Property Portfolio to the Total Portfolio net income (i.e., all properties owned by us during the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014) by providing information for the properties which were acquired, placed into service, under development or redevelopment and administrative/elimination information for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands).

The Total Portfolio net income (loss) presented in the table is equal to the net income (loss) of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership.

Total Revenue

Cash rents from the Total Portfolio decreased by $6.2 million from 2014 to 2015, primarily attributable to a decrease of $22.0 million from the 34 properties disposed of between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $7.9 million in the Same Store Property Portfolio primarily due to a 1.8% increase in occupancy in 2015 compared to 2014 and an increase of $7.3 million in Recently Completed/Acquired Properties from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015 and two developments placed into service during the second quarter of 2014 at 660 Germantown Avenue in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania and 200 Radnor Chester Road in Radnor, Pennsylvania.  

Straight-line rents increased by $7.6 million from 2014 to 2015 on a consolidated basis which is primarily due to a $4.3 million increase due to free rent converting to cash rent subsequent to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014 at our Same Store Property Portfolio, and the timing of revenue recognition under the straight-line method of accounting. An additional $2.0 million increase relates to properties sold and held for sale and a $1.4 million increase due to Recently Completed/Acquired Properties from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015.

Above/below market rent amortization increased by $1.6 million from 2014 to 2015, primarily attributable to an increase of $3.3 million related to the Recently Completed/Acquired Properties from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015 and an increase of $0.2 million in the Pennsylvania Suburbs segment of the Same Store Property Portfolio.  These increases were partially offset by decreases at the Same Store Property Portfolio of $0.9 million at the Philadelphia CBD segment and $1.0 million in the Metropolitan D.C. segment, which are due to long-term leases, which were in place at the acquisition of certain properties in each segment, reaching their original expiration date prior to December 31, 2015.

Tenant reimbursements from the Total Portfolio increased $0.8 million from 2014 to 2015, primarily attributable to an increase of $3.7 million at the Same Store Property Portfolio, which trended along with the increase in operating expenses over the same period and a $2.3 million increase from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015. Expense recoveries increased to 33.9% during 2015 compared to 32.5% in 2014 at the Same Store Property Portfolio. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $4.9 million from properties sold/contributed to unconsolidated real estate ventures during 2014 and 2015 and properties classified as held for sale at December 31, 2015.

Termination fees at our Total Portfolio decreased by $3.2 million due to the timing and volume of early tenant move-outs during 2015 when compared to 2014.

Third party management fees, labor reimbursement and leasing income increased $1.6 million from 2014 to 2015, primarily attributable to construction management fees for the development of the Subaru of America headquarters in Camden, New Jersey, recognized during the fourth quarter of 2015 with no comparable fees earned during 2014.

Other income at our Total Portfolio increased by $3.4 million from 2014 to 2015, primarily due to: (i) $1.2 million of recognized real estate tax assessment adjustments, (ii) $0.8 million related to other income across our portfolio, (iii) $0.6 million in liquidating distributions from an unconsolidated partnership, (iv) $0.5 million from the receipt of escheat funds and (v) $0.3 million in tax settlements.

Property Operating Expenses

The increase in property operating expense of $3.8 million from 2014 to 2015 is mainly attributable to the following: (i) $3.8 million due to payroll and payroll related expenses, (ii) $3.4 million in repairs and maintenance expenditures directly attributable to the timing of our tenants’ needs, (iii) $1.5 million in pre-acquisition and tenant costs incurred for properties and lease transactions for which we determined that closing is not probable of occurring, (iv) $1.1 million in bad debt expense primarily attributable to uncollectible receivables in our Philadelphia CBD portfolio, (v) $1.1 million in office expenses, (vi) $0.8 million in management fees and (vii) $0.7 million in utilities.

The increase of $12.4 million in property operating expense described above was primarily offset by $8.6 million in decreases from properties sold/contributed to unconsolidated real estate ventures during 2014 and 2015.

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate taxes across our total portfolio decreased by $1.2 million from 2014 to 2015, primarily attributable to a decrease of $2.8 million from properties sold/contributed to unconsolidated real estate ventures during 2014 and 2015.  These decreases were primarily offset by increases of $1.0 million from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties from the purchase of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015 and $0.4 million from the Same Store Property Portfolio.

60

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $10.5 million from 2014 to 2015, of which $17.7 million is attributable to Recently Completed/Acquired Properties. Depreciation expense related to the Same Store Property Portfolio increased $2.8 million, as a result of the timing of tenant and capital improvement projects being completed and placed into service. These increases were partially offset by $10.1 million of decreases in depreciation expense, which is primarily attributable to an $8.1 million decrease for properties sold subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2014. The remaining decrease of $2.0 million for Development/Redevelopment Properties primarily relates to a re-entitlement, during the second quarter of 2013, of a property for residential and mixed-use development. Accordingly, we shortened the useful life of the building to the expected demolition date.  The building was fully depreciated during the first quarter of 2015, resulting in a decrease of $2.9 million in 2015 compared to 2014.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses across our Total Portfolio increased by $2.6 million from 2014 to 2015, primarily attributable to a $1.0 million increase in share-based compensation costs compared to the prior year which is directly attributable to the timing of recognizing accelerated amortization of compensation of our executive personnel meeting qualifying retirement provisions.  Acquisition deal costs increased $0.5 million, primarily due to the acquisition of the Broadmoor Austin Portfolio in Austin, Texas during the second quarter of 2015 and costs incurred for the sale of the 120 acre land parcel and 59 office properties that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2015 compared to the acquisition of the Encino Trace development project during the first quarter of 2014.  In addition, we increased our charitable contributions $0.8 million from 2014 to 2015.

Provision for Impairment

During 2015, we recognized a provision for impairment consisting of the following:

• We designated 58 office properties located in the Pennsylvania Suburbs; Metropolitan D.C.; Richmond, Virginia; and New Jersey/Delaware segments as held for sale of December 31, 2015. As the carrying value of these properties exceeded their fair value less the anticipated costs of sale, we recognized an impairment charge totaling $45.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2015;

• based on our held for use impairment analysis, we determined that we would not recover the carrying value of three properties located in our Metropolitan D.C. region. Because we determined that the carrying value of these properties exceeded their fair value, a $27.5 million impairment charge was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2015;  

• during the quarter ended December 31, 2015, we determined to dispose of three office properties located in Carlsbad, California, a land parcel located in Berks County, Pennsylvania and a land parcel located in Wilmington, Delaware.   As the carrying value of these properties exceeded their fair value less the costs of sale, we recognized impairment losses totaling $6.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2015;

• during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we determined to dispose of the 100 Gateway Centre Parkway office property, and as the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the property less the costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $0.8 million, which approximates the cost of sale; and,

• during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we determined to dispose of the Lake Merritt office property, and as the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the property less the costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $1.7 million, which approximates the cost of sale.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we determined to dispose of the Valleybrooke office portfolio, and as the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the portfolio less the costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $1.8 million, which approximates the loss on sale.

See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the impairments.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $2.8 million, primarily due to $1.5 million of interest income from a note receivable from an unaffiliated third party during 2014 and $0.7 million from a note receivable from an unconsolidated joint venture during 2014, as well as lower average balances in interest bearing cash equivalents during 2015 compared to 2014.

Tax Credit Transaction Income

Tax Credit transaction income increased $8.1 million due to the recognition of the New Markets Tax Credit.  See Note 16, “Tax Credit Transactions” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

61

Interest Expense

The decrease in interest expense of $13.6 million from 2014 to 2015 is primarily due to the following;

• $9.4 million due to repurchases of $42.7 million and $114.9 million, in the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, of our 7.500% Guaranteed Notes due 2015;

• $9.2 million due to repurchases of $75.1 million and $143.5 million, in the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, of our 5.400% Guaranteed Notes due 2014;

• $5.3 million related to an increase in capitalized interest which is directly attributable to the development of the FMC Tower and Encino Trace;

• $1.9 million due to the repayment of our $150.0 million three-year term loan due February 2015 during the third quarter of 2014;

• $1.6 million of mortgage interest expense related to the repayment of the Tysons Corner mortgage debt during 2015;

• $1.3 million due to the repayment of our $100.0 million four-year term loan due February 2016 during the third quarter of 2014; and

• $0.8 million due to the termination during 2015 of interest rate swap contracts associated with our $100.0 million four-year term loan due February 2016.

The decrease of $29.5 million in interest expense described above was primarily offset by the increases of $7.7 million related to the September 2014 issuance of $250.0 million in principal amount of 4.10% Guaranteed Notes due 2024 and $8.1 million related to the September 2014 issuance of $250.0 million in principal amount of 4.55% Guaranteed Notes due 2029.

Interest Expense - Deferred Financing Costs

Interest expense - deferred financing costs decreased $0.6 million from 2014 to 2015, primarily due to the write-off of costs related to repurchases of debt during 2014, which included the repurchase of: (i) $218.5 million of our 5.40% Guaranteed Notes due 2014, (ii) $157.6 million of our 7.50% Guaranteed Notes due 2015, (iii) our $150.0 million three-year term loan due February 2015, and (iv) our $100.0 million four-year term loan due February 2016.  The repurchases were partially offset by the issuance of $250.0 million in principal amount of our 4.10% Guaranteed Notes due 2024 and $250.0 million in principal amount of our 4.55% Guaranteed Notes due 2029.

Recognized Hedge Activity

The loss from recognized hedge activity decreased $0.8 million during 2015 due to the September 16, 2014 repayment of the entire $150.0 million three-year term loan ahead of its scheduled February 2015 maturity.  In connection with these repayments a $0.8 million charge on the termination of associated interest rate swap contracts was incurred. There were no comparable charges incurred during 2015.

Net Gain on Sale of Interests in Real Estate

During 2015, the $20.5 million net gain on disposition of interests in real estate resulted from the sale of 25 office properties located in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey; Wayne, Pennsylvania; King of Prussia, Pennsylvania; Richmond, Virginia; Newark/Wilmington, Delaware; Oakland and Carlsbad, California; and Cherry Hill, New Jersey. See Item 2., “Properties - Property Sales” for further information. During 2014, the $4.9 million net gain on disposition of real estate resulted from the sale of an office property located in Reston, Virginia.

Net Gain on Sale of Undepreciated Real Estate

During 2015, the $3.0 million net gain on the sale of undepreciated real estate resulted from the sale of four land parcels totaling 14.7 acres located in Wilmington, Delaware; Mount Laurel, New Jersey; Austin, Texas; and Oakland, California compared to the 2014 gain of $1.2 million related to the sale of two land parcels totaling 22.1 acres located in Dallas, Texas and Austin, Texas.

Net Gain on Remeasurement of Investments in Real Estate Ventures

The $0.8 million gain recognized during 2015 resulted from the acquisition of the remaining interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates. The gain recognized during 2014 resulted from the final settlement of the increase in ownership interest of the One and Two Commerce Square partnerships.

Net Gain on Real Estate Venture Transactions

The $7.2 million gain recognized during 2015 consists of the $5.2 million gain recognized on the sale of our interest in the Residence Inn real estate venture and $2.0 million related to the contribution of Encino Trace to the Austin Venture.  The $0.4 million loss during 2014 relates to the contribution of Four Points Centre to the Austin Venture.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

During 2014, we (i) repurchased $218.5 million of our 5.40% Guaranteed Notes due 2014, (ii) repurchased $157.6 million of our 7.50% Guaranteed Notes due 2015, (iii) repaid the entire $150.0 million three-year term loan due February 2015 and (iv) repaid the entire $100.0 million four-year term loan due February 2016, which resulted in a net loss on early extinguishment of debt of $7.6 million.  There we no such repurchases during 2015.

Discontinued Operations

During 2015, there were no property sales classified as discontinued operations. During 2014, the gain of $0.9 million primarily relates to the settlement of a sale that occurred during the first quarter of 2013 for a portfolio of eight office properties located in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.

Net Income

Net income decreased by $40.1 million from 2014 to 2015 as a result of the factors described above.

Earnings per Common Share

Net loss per share was ($0.21) during 2015 as compared to net income per share of $0.00 during 2014 as a result of the factors described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months are as follows:

• fund normal recurring expenses,

• fund capital expenditures, including capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs,

• fund repayment of certain debt instruments when they mature,

• fund current development and redevelopment costs,

• fund commitments to unconsolidated joint ventures,

• fund distributions to shareholders to maintain REIT status, and

• fund common and preferred share repurchases.

As of December 31, 2016, the Parent Company owned a 99.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest of approximately 0.9% pertains to common limited partnership interests owned by non-affiliated investors who contributed property to the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full and complete responsibility for the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day operations and management.  The Parent Company’s source of funding for its dividend payments and other obligations is the distributions it receives from the Operating Partnership.

We believe that our near-term liquidity needs will be satisfied through available cash balances and cash flows generated by operations, financing activities and selective property sales. Rental revenue, expense recoveries from tenants, and other income from operations are our principal sources of cash to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures and the minimum distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification. We seek to increase cash flows from our properties by maintaining quality standards for our properties that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. Our revenue also includes third-party fees generated by our property management, leasing, development and construction businesses. We believe that our revenue, together with proceeds from property sales and debt financings, will continue to provide funds for our short-term liquidity needs. However, material changes in our operating or financing activities may adversely affect our net cash flows. With uncertain economic conditions, vacancy rates may increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may increase in most or all of our markets throughout 2017 and possibly beyond. As a result, our revenues and cash flows could be insufficient to cover operating expenses, including increased tenant installation costs, pay debt service or make distributions to shareholders over the short-term. If this situation were to occur, we expect that we would finance cash deficits through borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility and other sources of debt and equity financings.  In addition, a material adverse change in cash provided by operations could adversely affect our compliance

63

with financial performance covenants under our unsecured revolving credit facility, including unsecured term loans and unsecured notes. As of December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants and requirement obligations.

We use multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs. When needed, we use borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility for general business purposes, including to meet debt maturities and to fund distributions to shareholders as well as development and acquisition costs and other expenses from time to time as necessary. In light of the continuing volatility in financial markets and economic uncertainties, it is possible, that one or more lenders under our unsecured revolving credit facility could fail to fund a borrowing request. Such an event could adversely affect our ability to access funds from our unsecured revolving credit facility when needed to fund distributions or pay expenses.

Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors, including our credit ratings, the value of our unencumbered assets, our degree of leverage and borrowing restrictions imposed by our lenders. If one or more rating agencies were to downgrade our unsecured credit rating, our access to the unsecured debt market would be more limited and the interest rate under our unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans would increase.

The Parent Company unconditionally guarantees the Operating Partnership’s secured and unsecured obligations, which, as of December 31, 2016, amounted to $325.0 million and $1,703.6 million, respectively.

The Parent Company also issues equity from time to time, the proceeds of which it contributes to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional interests in the Operating Partnership, and guarantees debt obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company’s ability to sell common shares and preferred shares is dependent on, among other things, general market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about the Company as a whole and the current trading price of the Parent Company’s shares. The Parent Company maintains a shelf registration statement that has registered the offering and sale of common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares, warrants and unsecured debt securities. Subject to our ongoing compliance with securities laws, and if warranted by market conditions, we may offer and sell equity and debt securities from time to time under the shelf registration statement. We also maintain a continuous offering program under which we may sell up to 16,000,000 common shares until January 10, 2020 in at-the-market offerings. This program was put in place on January 10, 2017 in replacement of a prior continuous offering program that expired on November 3, 2016. We did not sell any shares under the prior program during 2016 and we have not sold any shares under the new program through the date of this report.

The Parent Company maintains a share repurchase program under which the Board of Trustees has authorized the Parent Company to repurchase common shares with no expiration date. On July 22, 2015, the Parent Company's Board of Trustees authorized additional common share repurchases of up to $100.0 million. We expect to fund the share repurchases with a combination of available cash balances and availability under our unsecured revolving credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2016, there were no share repurchases under the program. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we repurchased and retired 5,209,437 common shares at an average purchase price of $12.90 per share and totaling $67.3 million. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, share prices, capital availability and other factors as we determine from time to time. The repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

The Operating Partnership also considers net sales of selected properties as another source of managing its liquidity.  During 2016, we sold 66 office properties, including 58 properties conveyed to the MAP Venture, containing 5,239,632 in net rentable square feet and approximately 123 acres of land for aggregate cash proceeds of $784.3 million.  Also during 2016, we sold partnership interests in four unconsolidated real estate ventures for aggregate cash proceeds of $21.0 million.

On January 14, 2016, we funded $221.4 million, consisting of $176.8 million of principal repayment, $44.5 million in prepayment charges and $0.1 million of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness of Cira Square, ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030. Also on January 14, 2016, we funded $44.5 million, consisting of $35.4 million of principal repayment, $8.9 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness of the Cira South Garage, ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030.  These repayments were financed with funds available under our unsecured revolving credit facility. Subsequent to repayment of the mortgage indebtedness, we closed on the disposition of Cira Square and the Och Ziff transactions receiving total net proceeds of $350.3 million and $353.4 million, respectively. We have used, and intend to continue to use the net cash proceeds from the disposition of Cira Square and the Och Ziff transactions for general corporate purposes, including to reduce our outstanding debt and fund current development commitments. We continue to maintain substantial liquidity, including available cash as of December 31, 2016, of approximately $780.8 million, consisting of $193.9 million of liquid cash balances and $586.9 million of availability, net of $13.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, under our $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility.

Cash Flows

The following discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be a comprehensive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the years presented.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we maintained cash and cash equivalents of $193.9 million and $56.7 million, respectively. The following are the changes in cash flow from our activities for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

Activity	2016			2015			2014
Operating	$	172,222		$	195,099		$	188,999
Investing		500,910			(166,452	)		(270,785	)
Financing		(535,907	)		(229,455	)		76,081
Net cash flows	$	137,225		$	(200,808	)	$	(5,705	)

Our principal source of cash flows is from the operation of our properties. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flows that provides us with the resources to fund operating expenses, debt service and quarterly dividends. We do not restate our cash flows for discontinued operations.

The net decrease of $22.9 million in cash from operating activities during 2016 compared to 2015 is primarily attributable to the following:

• the 2015 and 2016 Dispositions; and

• the timing of cash receipts and cash expenditures in the normal course of operations

The net increase of $667.4 million in cash provided by investing activities during 2016 compared to 2015 is primarily attributable to managements’ ongoing efforts as net sellers to reposition the property portfolio. Factors included for the properties strategically targeted for disposition include, but are not limited to the following; (i) the exit from certain markets identified by management for divestiture and (ii) lower asset-class/quality properties. Quantitatively, the increases resulted from the following:

• $474.3 million of net proceeds from the disposition of 66 office properties and three land parcels during 2016 compared to the sale of 27 office properties and four land parcels during 2015 (see Note3, “Real Estate Investments,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details);

• $192.9 million net decrease for the acquisition of real estate during 2016. During 2015, we acquired $213.3 million of real estate comprised of: (i) the remaining 50% interest in the Broadmoor Austin Associates real estate venture containing seven office properties in Austin, Texas, (ii) land in Camden, New Jersey for the Subaru NSTC Development, (iii) a leasehold interest in a land parcel at 405 Colorado Drive in Austin, Texas, (iv) a land parcel at 25 M Street in Washington, D.C., (v) a parking garage at 618 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, (vi) a land parcel at 2100 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and (vii) a vacant office property at 9 Presidential Boulevard in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, compared to an acquisition of a 34.6 acre land parcel known as the Garza Ranch located in Austin, Texas for a purchase price of $20.4 million during 2016;

• $39.9 million decrease of investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures primarily due to contributions for 2016 of $12.8 million to the evo at Cira Centre South Venture to increase our ownership interest from 30% to 50%, $10.3 million to Brandywine – AI Venture to fund the repayment of mortgage debt, $5.2 million in contributions to the JBG real estate ventures to fund predevelopment costs and $0.3 million to the Seven Tower Bridge Venture in 2016, compared to the contribution of $30.7 million to form the JBG real estate ventures, $8.8 million in contributions to the 4040 Wilson real estate venture, $16.2 million to Brandywine 1919 Ventures, $3.4 million to the DRA Austin real estate venture and $9.4 million in contributions to other real estate ventures during 2015;

• $76.8 million decrease in capital expenditures for tenant improvements, developments/redevelopments and leasing commissions, primarily related to less tenant improvement expenditures from the reduced number of properties from the portfolio repositioning and reduced redevelopment expenditures from the completion of the renovation at 1900 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania;

• $14.9 million increase in net cash proceeds from the sale of our interests in four unconsolidated real estate ventures during 2016, compared to the sale of our interest in one venture during 2015;

• $6.5 million increase from escrowed cash primarily due to the release of restricted cash from accounts required by the Cira Square and Cira South Garage mortgage notes that were repaid in full during 2016; and

• $4.5 million increase in cash distributions in excess of cumulative equity in income from Real Estate Ventures.

65

The increase in cash provided by investing activities was partially offset by the following:

• $88.0 million decrease in payments on the mortgage note receivable due to our repayment of the short term loan to the Austin Venture during the first quarter of 2015;

• $50.2 million decrease from the cash proceeds received from the contribution of two newly constructed buildings located in Austin, Texas, commonly known as Encino Trace, to the Austin Venture during fourth quarter 2015 with no comparable contributions during 2016;

• $3.4 million decrease from the origination of a mortgage note receivable to an unaffiliated third party; and

• $0.9 million decrease from advances for the purchase of tenant assets, net of repayments.

The net increase of $306.5 million in cash used in financing activities during 2016 compared to 2015 reflects our efforts to decrease our leverage by using cash flows from the property sales in connection with the repositioning of the portfolio. Quantitatively, the increase in the use of cash is attributable to the following:

• $177.4 million net increase from the repayments of mortgage notes payable during 2016 compared 2015, primarily due to the early repayment of $212.4 million of mortgage notes payable for Cira Square and Cira South Garage during 2016;

• $149.9 million from the repayment of our unsecured 6.00% Guaranteed Notes upon maturity on April 1, 2016;

• $50.0 million decrease from additional term loan borrowings during 2015, with no additional borrowings made in 2016;

• $1.4 million increase in distributions paid to shareholders and on non-controlling interests due to the 6.7% increase of our dividend from $0.15 per share to $0.16 per share during the third quarter of 2016; and

• $0.9 million decrease in partner contributions to fund predevelopment costs of the 25M Street, a consolidated real estate venture, located in Washington, D.C. that was formed during the second quarter of 2015. 

The increase in cash used in financing activities was offset by the following transactions:

• $67.3 million decrease from repurchases of common shares during 2015, with no such repurchases during 2016;

• $4.7 million decrease in debt financing costs paid, of which the additional prior year costs primarily relate to the unsecured revolving credit facility entered into May 15, 2015; and

• $1.1 million increase in proceeds from the exercise of share options.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan

We maintain a $600.0 million four-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) maturing May 15, 2019 and an unsecured seven-year term loan (the “Term Loan”) in the amount of $250.0 million maturing October 8, 2022.

The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.80%. Through a series of interest rate swaps, the $250.0 million outstanding balance of the term loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.72%.

At our option, loans outstanding under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (1) LIBOR plus between 0.875% and 1.55% based on our credit rating or (2) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent's prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% or (c) LIBOR for a one month period plus 1.00%, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.55% based on our credit rating. The Credit Facility also contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to us at a reduced interest rate. In addition, we are also obligated to pay (1) in quarterly installments a facility fee on the total commitment at a rate per annum ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% based on our credit rating and (2) an annual fee on the undrawn amount of each letter or credit equal to the LIBOR Margin. Based on our current credit rating, the LIBOR margin is 1.20% and the facility fee is 0.25%. We had no borrowings under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2016.

The Credit Facility contains financial and operating covenants and restrictions, including covenants that relate to our incurrence of additional debt; granting liens; consummation of mergers and consolidations; the disposition of assets and interests in subsidiaries; the making of loans and investments and dividends. The terms of the Credit Facility require that we maintain customary financial and other covenants, including: (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.5 to 1.00; (ii) a minimum net worth; (iii) a leverage ratio less than or equal to 0.60 to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (iv) a ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value less than or equal to 0.60 to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (v) a ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value less than or equal to 0.40 to 1.00; and (vi) a ratio of unencumbered cash flow to interest expense on unsecured debt greater than 1.75 to 1.00. In addition, the Credit Facility restricts payments of dividends and distributions on shares in excess of 95% of our funds from operations (FFO) except to the extent necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes.

The Term Loan contains the same financial and operating covenants and restrictions, including covenants that relate to our incurrence of additional debt; granting liens; consummation of mergers and consolidations; the disposition of assets and interests in subsidiaries; the making of loans and investments; negative pledges, transactions with affiliates and the payment of dividends, as the Credit Facility.

We were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants under the Credit Facility, Term Loan and our credit agreements as of December 31, 2016. We continuously monitor our compliance with all covenants. Certain covenants restrict our ability to obtain alternative sources of capital. While we believe that we will remain in compliance with our covenants, a slow-down in the economy and a decrease in availability of debt financing could result in non-compliance with covenants.

Unsecured Notes and Mortgage Notes

The Operating Partnership is the issuer of our unsecured notes which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent Company.  During the year-ended December 31, 2016, we did not repurchase any of our outstanding unsecured notes prior to the scheduled maturity date. On April 1, 2016, we repaid the entire $149.9 million principal balance of our unsecured 6.00% Guaranteed Notes upon maturity, which had a 5.95% effective interest rate.

The indenture under which the Operating Partnership issued its unsecured notes contains financial covenants, including (i) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (ii) a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40%, (iii) a debt service coverage ratio of greater than 1.5 to 1.0 and (iv) an unencumbered asset value of not less than 150% of unsecured debt. The Operating Partnership was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2016.

The Operating Partnership has mortgage loans that are collateralized by certain of its Properties. Payments on mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only. The Operating Partnership intends to refinance or repay its mortgage loans as they mature through the use of proceeds from selective Property sales and secured or unsecured borrowings. However, in the current and expected future economic environment one or more of these sources may not be available on attractive terms or at all.

On August 31, 2016, we deconsolidated 3141 Fairview Park Drive and began accounting for it under the equity method of accounting as part of the AICC Venture, an unconsolidated real estate venture in which we hold a 50% interest. We deconsolidated $20.6 million of mortgage debt principal when the property was deconsolidated. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures," to the consolidated financial statements for further details.

On April 7, 2016, we closed on an $86.9 million first mortgage financing on Two Logan Square, a 708,844-square foot office property located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The loan bears interest at 3.98% per annum and matures on May 1, 2020.  Proceeds of the loan were used to repay, without penalty, the $86.6 million principal balance of the former Two Logan Square first mortgage loan, which had a 7.57% effective interest rate.

On January 14, 2016, we funded $221.4 million, consisting of $176.8 million of principal repayment, $44.5 million in prepayment charges and $0.1 million of accrued interest, to repay the mortgage indebtedness of the Cira Square, ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030. Also on January 14, 2016, we funded $44.4 million, consisting of $35.5 million of principal repayment, $8.9 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, to repay the mortgage indebtedness of the Cira South Garage, ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030.  The repayment was financed with funds available under the Credit Facility.

The charter documents of the Parent Company and Operating Partnership do not limit the amount or form of indebtedness that the Operating Partnership may incur, and its policies on debt incurrence are solely within the discretion of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees, subject to the financial covenants in the Credit Facility, indenture and other credit agreements.

Equity

On December 6, 2016, the Parent Company declared a distribution of $0.16 per common share, totaling $28.1 million, which it paid on January 25, 2017 to its shareholders of record as of January 11, 2017.  In addition, the Parent Company declared a distribution on its Series E Preferred Shares to holders of record as of December 30, 2016.  These shares are entitled to a preferential return of 6.90% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference.  Distributions paid on January 17, 2017 to holders of Series E Preferred Shares totaled $1.7 million. To fund this distribution, on December 6, 2016, the Operating Partnership declared distributions on its Series E-Linked Preferred Mirror Units to holders of record as of December 30, 2016. These units are entitled to a preferential return of 6.90% per annum on the $25.00 per unit liquidation preference. Distributions paid on January 17, 2017 to holders of Series E-Linked Preferred Mirror Units totaled $1.7 million.  In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Parent Company is required to, among other things, pay dividends to its shareholders of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income.  During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Parent Company paid dividends in excess of the 90% criterion.

The Parent Company maintains a share repurchase program under which the Board of Trustees has authorized the Parent Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its common shares with no expiration date. We expect to fund the share repurchases with a combination of available cash balances and availability under our Credit Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2016, there were no repurchases under the program. During the year ended December 31, 2015, 5,209,437 common shares were repurchased and retired at an average purchase price of $12.90 per share for total cash consideration of $67.3 million. The timing and amounts of any purchases will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, share prices, capital availability and other factors as determined by our management team. The repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

68

The Parent Company also maintains a continuous offering program (the “Offering Program”) under which it may sell an aggregate amount of 16,000,000 common shares until January 10, 2020 in at-the-market offerings. This program was put into place on January 10, 2017 in replacement of a prior continuous offering program that expired on November 5, 2016. The Parent Company did not sell any shares under the prior program during 2016 and has not sold any shares under the new program through the date of this report.

Inflation

A majority of our leases provide for tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes and operating expenses either on a triple net basis or over a base amount. In addition, many of our office leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be partially offset by expense reimbursement and contractual rent increases.

(e) Other liabilities consists of (i) our deferred compensation liability, (ii) the interest accretion on the anticipated transfer tax liability on Two Logan Square in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (iii) the contingent consideration associated with the purchase of 618 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and (iv) the deferred payment associated with the purchase of 2100 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  

The above table does not include amounts related to the JBG Ventures at 51 N 50 Patterson and 1250 First Street in Washington, D.C. or the 1919 Ventures development of the property located at 20th and Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or the 4040 Wilson development in Arlington, Virginia.  For further discussion of these developments, see Item 1., “Business - Developments.” In addition, the above table does not include amounts related to the Schuylkill Yards Project. See Item 1., “Business – Other Development Services.”

As of December 31, 2016, we were obligated to pay a maximum of $39.6 million for tenant improvements not yet completed and expect to incur $2.1 million for capital improvements to operating properties, which are not included in the above table.  We expect that most of the obligations will be paid within one year.

On July 1, 2016, we acquired 34.6 acres of land located in Austin, Texas known as the Garza Ranch. We are currently under agreement to sell 9.5 acres (of the 34.6 acres) to two unaffiliated third parties.  In connection with the agreements of sale, we entered into a development agreement and related completion guarantee to construct certain infrastructure improvements to the land on behalf of each buyer, estimated to cost $10.3 million. Total estimated costs related to the improvements are included in the sale price of each land parcel. Recognition of the profit earned upon sale of the land parcels is deferred until the improvements are completed. The unfunded portion of these infrastructure costs are not included in the above table within the ‘Development contracts’ caption.

On May 4, 2015, we entered into a put agreement in the ordinary course of business that grants an independent third party the unilateral option to require us to purchase a property, at a stated price of $35.0 million, until May 4, 2018.  In addition to the $35.0

69

million purchase price, we would be responsible for transaction and closing costs.  There can be no assurance that the counterparty will exercise the option.

The ground leases, entered into in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, provide for contingent rent participation by the lessor in certain capital transactions and net operating cash flows of the properties after certain returns are achieved by us. Such amounts, if any, will be reflected as contingent rent when incurred. The leases also provide for payment by us of certain operating costs relating to the land, primarily real estate taxes. The above schedule of future minimum rental payments for ground leases does not include any contingent rent amounts or any reimbursed expenses.

As part of the Operating Partnership’s September 2004 acquisition of a portfolio of properties from the Rubenstein Company (which we refer to as the “TRC acquisition”), the Operating Partnership acquired its interest in Two Logan Square, a 708,844 square foot office building in Philadelphia, primarily through its ownership of a second and third mortgage secured by this property. This property is consolidated as the borrower is a variable interest entity and the Operating Partnership, through its ownership of the second and third mortgages, is the primary beneficiary. The Operating Partnership currently does not expect to take title to Two Logan Square until, at the earliest, January 2020. If the Operating Partnership takes fee title to Two Logan Square upon a foreclosure of its mortgage, the Operating Partnership has agreed to pay an unaffiliated third party that holds a residual interest in the fee owner of this property an amount equal to $2.9 million. On the TRC acquisition date, the Operating Partnership recorded a liability of $0.7 million and this amount will accrete up to $2.9 million through January 2020. As of December 31, 2016, the Operating Partnership has a balance of $2.2 million for this liability on its consolidated balance sheet.

As part our 2006 merger with Prentiss Properties Trust, our 2004 TRC acquisition and several of our other transactions, we agreed not to sell certain of the properties we acquired in transactions that would trigger taxable income to the former owners. In the case of the TRC acquisition, we agreed not to sell for a period of up to 15 years from the date of the TRC acquisition the acquired properties at One Logan Square, Two Logan Square and Radnor Corporate Center (January, 2020). In the Prentiss acquisition, we assumed the obligation of Prentiss not to sell Concord Airport Plaza before March, 2018. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the like-kind exchange under Section 1031. Our agreements generally provide that we may dispose of the subject properties only in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or in other tax deferred transactions. If we were to sell a restricted property before expiration of the restricted period in a non-exempt transaction, we would be required to make significant payments to the parties who sold the applicable property to us for tax liabilities attributed to them. Similarly, as part of our 2013 acquisition of substantially all of the equity interests in the partnerships that own One and Two Commerce Square, we agreed, for the benefit of affiliates of the holder of the 1% residual ownership interest in these properties, to not sell these two properties in certain taxable transactions prior to October 20, 2021 without the holder’s consent.

We invest in properties and regularly incur capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business to maintain the properties. We believe that such expenditures enhance our competitiveness. We also enter into construction, utility and service contracts in the ordinary course of its business which may extend beyond one year. These contracts typically provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.

Guarantees

As of December 31, 2016, our unconsolidated real estate ventures had aggregate indebtedness to third parties of $997.5 million.  These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to us. As of December 31, 2016, the loans for which there is recourse to us consists of the following: (i) a $52.5 million payment guaranty on the term loan for evo at Cira; (ii) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the construction loan for TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; (iii) a joint and several cost overrun guaranty on the $88.9 million construction loan for the development project being undertaken by 1919 Market Street LP; and (iv) a $0.4 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII.  On January 31, 2017, we sold our 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P. and our $3.2 million guarantee was cancelled. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In addition, during construction undertaken by real estate ventures we have provided, and expect to continue to provide, cost overrun and completion guarantees, with rights of contribution among partners in ventures, as well as customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of customary exceptions to nonrecourse provisions in loan agreements.

Also as of December 31, 2016, we provided a cost overrun guarantee on the Subaru Headquarters Development (See Item 1., "Business - Other Development Services") for amounts in excess of the NTE amount.  The NTE amount, currently at $78.1 million, may be adjusted by change orders agreed upon by both Subaru and us.  We are obligated to pay for construction costs in excess of the NTE amount. The terms of the guarantee do not provide a limitation on the costs we may be responsible for.  Based on the status of the project and projections of costs to complete, we expect the project to be constructed under budget. Accordingly, the above Commitment and Contingencies table does not include any costs related to this cost overrun guarantee.

70

As part of our acquisition of properties from time to time in tax-deferred transactions, we have agreed to provide certain of the prior owners of the acquired properties with the right to guarantee our indebtedness.  If we were to seek to repay the indebtedness guaranteed by the prior owner before the expiration of the applicable agreement, we would be required to provide the prior owner an opportunity to guarantee qualifying replacement debt. These debt maintenance agreements may limit our ability to refinance indebtedness on terms that will be favorable to us.  As part of our 2013 acquisition of substantially all of the equity interests in the partnerships that own One and Two Commerce Square, we agreed, for the benefit of affiliates of the holder of the 1% residual ownership interest in these properties, to maintain qualifying mortgage debt through October 20, 2021, in the amounts of not less than $125.0 million on One Commerce Square and $100.0 million on Two Commerce Square.  Similarly, we have agreements in place with other contributors of assets to us that obligate us to maintain debt available for them to guaranty.

Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis

The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of the Operating Partnership’s financial instruments to selected changes in market rates. The range of changes chosen reflects its view of changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period. Market values are the present value of projected future cash flows based on the market rates chosen.

Our financial instruments consist of both fixed and variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2016, our consolidated debt consisted of mortgage loans with an outstanding principal balance of $325.0 million and unsecured notes with an outstanding principal balance of $1,375.0 million, all of which are fixed rate borrowings. We also have variable rate debt consisting of trust preferred securities with an outstanding principal balance of $78.6 million and an unsecured term loan with an outstanding principal balance of $250.0 million, all of which have been swapped to fixed rates. All financial instruments were entered into for other than trading purposes and the net market value of these financial instruments is referred to as the net financial position. Changes in interest rates have different impacts on the fixed and variable rate portions of our debt portfolio. A change in interest rates on the fixed portion of the debt portfolio impacts the net financial instrument position, but has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in interest rates on the variable portion of the debt portfolio impacts the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not impact the net financial instrument position.

If market rates of interest increase by 100 basis points, the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt would decrease by approximately $14.9 million. If market rates of interest decrease by 100 basis points, the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt would increase by approximately $15.8 million.

As of December 31, 2016, based on prevailing interest rates and credit spreads, the fair value of our unsecured notes was $1,372.8 million. For sensitivity purposes, a 100 basis point change in the discount rate equates to a change in the total fair value of our debt of approximately $13.6 million at December 31, 2016.

From time to time or as the need arises, we use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The total outstanding principal balance of our variable rate debt was approximately $328.6 million at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The total fair value of our debt was approximately $305.3 million and $305.5 million at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. For sensitivity purposes, if market rates of interest increase by 100 basis points the fair value of our variable rate debt would decrease by approximately $20.7 million at December 31, 2016. If market rates of interest decrease by 100 basis points the fair value of our outstanding variable rate debt would increase by approximately $22.9 million.

These amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. Due to the uncertainty of specific actions it may undertake to minimize possible effects of market interest rate increases, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.

Funds from Operations (FFO)

Pursuant to the revised definition of FFO adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), we calculate FFO by adjusting net income/(loss) attributable to common unit holders (computed in accordance with GAAP) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, impairment losses on depreciable consolidated real estate, impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated joint ventures driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures, real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that the use of FFO combined with the required U.S. GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REITs’ operating results more meaningful. We consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, FFO can help the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. Our computation of FFO may

71

not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently.

We consider net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, to be the most comparable earnings measure to FFO. While FFO and FFO per unit are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, FFO does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income (loss) attributable to common unit holders and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common unit holders to FFO for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

	Years ended

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Brokerage Commission Payments to Related Party

In May 2015, we leased approximately 228,000 square feet of office space (the “2015 Lease”) to a third-party commercial tenant represented by a commercial real estate broker named WDL-EL Real Estate Advisory Group, LLC, which does business as “NorthMarq Advisors” (“NorthMarq”).  Walter D’Alessio, who served until February 17, 2017 as our Chairman and Lead Independent Director, owns a 33.3% membership interest in WDL Real Estate Advisory Group, LLC (“WDL”), which in turn owns a 49% interest in NorthMarq.  Mr. D’Alessio is also a Principal of NorthMarq  and Chairman of the Board of the tenant.  

The tenant maintained a long-standing brokerage relationship with NorthMarq that pre-dated our commencement of discussions as to the 2015 lease, and NorthMarq acted as the tenant’s exclusive broker in connection with the lease.   Consistent with customary practice in the commercial real estate industry, we paid the tenant’s brokerage commission in the amount of $4.2 million, with one-half paid to NorthMarq in 2015 upon signing of the lease and the balance paid to NorthMarq in 2016 upon the tenant’s occupancy of the leased premises.  We believe that the commission terms were no less favorable to us than would have been available from an unaffiliated third party broker.   As a principal of NorthMarq, Mr. D’Alessio received payments from NorthMarq aggregating approximately $1.0 million in connection with the brokerage commission, with one-half paid in 2015 and the balance paid in 2016.  

Other Related Person Transactions

Kathleen Sweeney-Pogwist, who has served as a Senior Vice President of Leasing of the Company (a non-executive officer position) since 2006, is the sister of Gerard H. Sweeney, our President and Chief Executive Officer.  From 1998 to 2006, Ms. Sweeney-Pogwist was a leasing agent for the Company.  Ms. Sweeney-Pogwist’s employment with the Company, in light of her relationship to Mr. Sweeney, has been reviewed and approved by our Board of Trustees each year.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Brandywine Realty Trust:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index appearing under Item 15(a) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brandywine Realty Trust and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index appearing under Item 15(a) present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.  Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013.  The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedules, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits.  We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016, 2015, AND 2014

1. ORGANIZATION OF THE PARENT COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

The Parent Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that provides leasing, property management, development, redevelopment, acquisition and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of office, retail and mixed-use properties. The Parent Company owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2016, owned a 99.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company’s common shares of beneficial interest are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BDN”.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company owned 113 properties that contain an aggregate of approximately 17.6 million net rentable square feet and consist of 93 office properties, seven mixed-use properties, one retail property (101 properties, collectively the “Core Properties”), four development properties, three redevelopment properties and five properties classified as held for sale (collectively, the “Properties”).  In addition, as of December 31, 2016, the Company owned economic interests in 14 unconsolidated real estate ventures (collectively, the “Real Estate Ventures”), seven of which own properties that contain approximately 8.0 million net rentable square feet of office space; two of which own 4.3 acres of undeveloped parcels of land; two of which own 1.4 acres of land under active development; two of which own residential towers that contain 345 and 321 apartment units, respectively, and one of which owns an apartment complex that contains 398 units.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company also owned 317 acres of undeveloped land, of which five acres were held for sale, and held options to purchase approximately 60 additional acres of undeveloped land.  As of December 31, 2016, the total potential development that these land parcels could support, including the parcels under option, under current zoning and entitlements, amounted to an estimated 12.3 million square feet.  The Properties and the properties owned by the Real Estate Ventures are located in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; Southern New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; Wilmington, Delaware; Austin, Texas and Concord, California. In addition to managing properties that the Company owns, as of December 31, 2016, the Company was managing approximately 10.5 million net rentable square feet of office and industrial properties for third parties and Real Estate Ventures.

Prior to the MAP Venture formation on February 4, 2016 (See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures”), the Company’s consolidated portfolio included 20 industrial properties. As of December 31, 2016, the Company held four remaining industrial properties in Core Properties, which the Company reclassified as mixed-use.

All references to building square footage, acres, occupancy percentage the number of buildings and tax basis are unaudited.

The Company conducts its third-party real estate management services business primarily through six management companies (collectively, the “Management Companies”): Brandywine Realty Services Corporation (“BRSCO”), BTRS, Inc. (“BTRS”), Brandywine Properties I Limited, Inc. (“BPI”), BDN Brokerage, LLC (“BBL”), Brandywine Properties Management, L.P. (“BPM”) and Brandywine Brokerage Services, LLC (“BBS”). Each of BRSCO, BTRS and BPI is a taxable REIT subsidiary. As of December 31, 2016, the Operating Partnership owns, directly and indirectly, 100% of each of BRSCO, BTRS, BPI, BBL, BPM and BBS.  As of December 31, 2016, the Management Companies were managing properties containing an aggregate of approximately 28.1 million net rentable square feet, of which approximately 17.6 million net rentable square feet related to Properties owned by the Company and approximately 10.5 million net rentable square feet related to properties owned by third parties and Real Estate Ventures.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their endeavors without additional financial support or that the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct those matters that most significantly impacted the activities of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For entities that the Company has the obligations to fund losses, its maximum exposure to loss is not limited to the carrying amount of its investments.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures had aggregate indebtedness to third parties of $997.5 million.  These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to the Company.  As of December 31, 2016, the loans for which there is recourse to the Company consists of the following: (i) a $52.5 million payment guaranty on the term loan for evo at Cira; (ii) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the $56.0 million construction loan for TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; (iii) a joint and several cost overrun guaranty on the $88.9 million construction loan for the development project being undertaken by 1919 Market Street LP; and (iv) a $0.4 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII. On January 31, 2017, the Company sold its 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P. and the Company’s $3.2 million guarantee was cancelled. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” for further information.

F- 18

When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company consolidates entities for which it has significant decision making control over the entity’s operations. The Company’s judgement with respect to its level of influence or control of an entity involves consideration of various factors including the form of the Company’s ownership interest, its representation in the entity’s governance, the size of its investment (including loans), estimates of future cash flows, its ability to participate in policy making decisions and the rights of the other investors to participate in the decision making process and to replace the Company as manager and/or liquidate the venture, if applicable. The Company’s assessment of its influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition to evaluating control rights, the Company consolidates entities in which the outside partner has no substantive kick-out rights to remove the Company as managing member. The Company continuously assesses its determination of the primary beneficiary for each entity and assesses reconsideration events that may cause a change in the original determinations. The portion of the consolidated entities that is not owned by the Company is presented as non-controlling interest as of and during the periods consolidated. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company included in its consolidated balance sheets consolidated VIEs having total assets of $417.1 million and $422.9 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $254.6 million and $258.2 million, respectively.  

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue, valuation of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, impairment of long-lived assets, land held for development, allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred costs.

Operating Properties

Operating properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of operating properties reflects their purchase price or development cost. Acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred, whereas the costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized as incurred.  Costs incurred for the renovation and betterment of an operating property are capitalized to the Company’s investment in that property. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company allocates the purchase price of properties considered to be business combinations to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease (including the below market fixed renewal period, if applicable). Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, including any below market fixed-rate renewal option periods that are considered probable.

Other intangible assets also include in-place leases based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate bargain renewal periods. Company estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers or by using independent appraisals. Factors considered by the Company in this analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rents at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from four to twelve months. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company also uses the information obtained as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence as part of its consideration of the accounting standard governing asset retirement obligations and when necessary, will record a conditional asset retirement obligation as part of its purchase price.  The Company also evaluates tenant relationships on a tenant-specific basis.  On certain of the Company’s acquisitions this intangible has been deemed immaterial, in which case no related intangible asset value is assigned.

In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, is charged to expense and market rate adjustments (above or below) are recorded to revenue.

F- 19

The Company records development acquisitions that do not meet the accounting criteria to be accounted for as business combinations at the purchase price paid. Costs directly associated with development acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition.

Depreciation and Amortization

The costs of buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives: buildings and improvements (5 to 55 years) and tenant improvements (the shorter of (i) the life of the asset, 1 to 16 years, or (ii) the lease term).

Construction-in-Progress

Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of a real estate project are capitalized as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress also includes costs related to ongoing tenant improvement projects. In addition, interest, real estate taxes and other expenses that are directly associated with the Company’s development activities are capitalized until the property is placed in service. Interest expense is capitalized using the Company’s average interest rate. Internal direct costs are capitalized to projects in which qualifying expenditures are being incurred.  Internal direct construction costs totaling $6.7 million in 2016, $7.3 million in 2015, $5.2 million in 2014 and interest totaling $10.9 million in 2016, $10.2 million in 2015, and $4.8 million in 2014 were capitalized related to development of certain properties and land holdings.

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s internal direct construction costs are comprised entirely of capitalized salaries.  The following table shows the amount of compensation costs (including bonuses and benefits) capitalized for the years presented (in thousands):

	December 31,
	2016		2015		2014
Development	$	3,182	$	2,641	$	1,749
Redevelopment		144		221		184
Tenant Improvements		3,391		4,429		3,261
Total	$	6,717	$	7,291	$	5,194

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment following the end of each quarter using cash flow projections and estimated fair values for each of the properties included within its impairment analysis. The Company updates leasing and other assumptions regularly, paying particular attention to properties where there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impairment in value. Additionally, the Company considers strategic decisions regarding the future development plans for property under development and other market factors. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company analyzes recoverability based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the operations and eventual disposition of the assets over, in most cases, a 10-year hold period. If there is significant possibility that the Company will dispose of assets earlier, it analyzes the recoverability using a probability weighted analysis of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the operations and eventual disposition of each asset using various possible hold periods. If the recovery analysis indicates that the carrying value of the tested property is not recoverable, the property is written down to its fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. In such case, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. If and when the Company’s plans change, it revises its recoverability analysis to use cash flows expected from operations and eventual disposition of each asset using hold periods that are consistent with its revised plans.

Estimated cash flows used in such analysis are based on the Company’s plans for the property and its views of market economic conditions. The estimates consider factors such as current and future rental rates, occupancies for the tested property and comparable properties, estimated operating and capital expenditures and recent sales data for comparable properties; most of these factors are influenced by market data obtained from real estate leasing and brokerage firms and the Company’s direct experience with the properties and their markets.

The Company generally considers assets to be “held for sale” when the transaction has been approved by its Board of Trustees, or by officers vested with authority to approve the transaction, and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale of the property within one year of the consideration date and the consummation of the transaction is otherwise considered probable. When a property is designated as held for sale, the Company stops depreciating the property and estimate the property’s fair value, net of selling costs. If the determination is made that the estimated fair value, net of selling costs, is less than the net carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recognized, reducing the net carrying value of the property to estimated fair value less selling costs. For periods in which a property is classified as held for sale, the Company classifies the assets of the property as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet for such periods.

F- 20

The relevant accounting guidance for impairments requires that qualifying assets and liabilities and the results of operations that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as “held for sale,” be presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The components of the property’s net income that is reflected as discontinued operations include the net gain (or loss) upon the disposition of the property held for sale, operating results, depreciation and interest expense (if the property is subject to a secured loan).

Impairment of Land Held for Development

When demand for build-to-suit office space declines and the ability to sell land held for development deteriorates, or other market factors indicate a possible impairment in the recoverability of land held for development, it is reviewed for impairment by comparing its fair value to its carrying value. If the estimated sales value is less than the carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash equivalents in money market accounts with financial institutions in excess of insured limits, but believes this risk is mitigated by only investing in or through major financial institutions. The Company does not invest its available cash balances in money market funds, as such available cash balances are appropriately reflected as cash and cash equivalents on its consolidated balance sheet.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash held as collateral to provide credit enhancement for the Company’s mortgage debt, cash for property taxes, capital expenditures and tenant improvements. Escrows also include cash held by qualified intermediaries for possible investments in like-kind exchanges in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with sales of the Company’s properties. Restricted cash is included in the “Other assets” caption in the consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable and Accrued Rent Receivable

Generally, leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum annual rentals under tenant leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under the straight-line method and contractual lease payment terms is recorded as “Accrued rent receivable, net” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Included in current tenant receivables are tenant reimbursements which are comprised of amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses that are recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, no tenant represented more than 10% of accounts receivable and accrued rent receivable.

Tenant receivables and accrued rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for doubtful accounts of $2.4 million and $13.7 million in 2016, respectively, and $1.7 million and $14.5 million in 2015, respectively. The allowance is an estimate based on two calculations that are combined to determine the total amount reserved. First, the Company evaluates specific accounts where it has determined that a tenant may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these situations, the Company uses its judgment, based on the facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that tenant against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that the Company expects to collect. These reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information becomes available. Second, a reserve is established for all tenants based on a range of percentages applied to receivable aging categories for tenant receivables. For accrued rent receivables, the Company considers the results of the evaluation of specific accounts and also considers other factors including assigning risk factors to different industries based on its tenants Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Considering various factors including assigning a risk factor to different industries, these percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience adjusted for current market conditions, which requires management’s judgments.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

Under the equity method, investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings, cash contributions, distributions and impairments. For Real Estate Ventures that are constructing assets to commence planned principal operations, the Company capitalizes interest expense using the Company’s weighted average interest rate of consolidated debt and its investment balance as a basis. Planned principal operations commence when a property is available to lease and at that point in time the Company ceases capitalizing interest to its investment basis. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company capitalized interest expense of $1.9 million. In each of the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company capitalized interest expense of $2.0 million.

On a periodic basis, management also assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures may be other than temporarily impaired. An investment is impaired only if the value of the

F- 21

investment, as estimated by management, is less than the carrying value of the investment and the decline is other than temporary. To the extent that an impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment, as estimated by management. The determination as to whether an impairment exists requires significant management judgment about the fair value of its ownership interest. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals.

When the Company acquires an interest in or contributes assets to a real estate venture project, the difference between the Company’s cost basis in the investment and the value of the real estate venture or asset contributed is amortized over the life of the related assets, intangibles and liabilities and such adjustment is included in the Company’s share of equity in income of unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures. For purposes of cash flow presentation, distributions from unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures are presented as part of operating activities when they are considered as return on investments. Distributions in excess of the Company’s share in the cumulative unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures’ earnings are considered as return of investments and are presented as part of investing activities in accordance with the accounting standard for cash flow presentation.

Deferred Costs

Costs incurred in connection with property leasing are capitalized as deferred leasing costs. Deferred leasing costs consist primarily of leasing commissions and internal leasing costs that are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease which generally ranges from 1 to 16 years. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as economic and market conditions change.

Notes Receivable

The Company accounts for notes receivable on its balance sheet at amortized cost, net of allowance for loan losses. Interest income is recognized over the term of the notes receivable and is calculated based on the terms on the contractual terms of each note agreement.

Notes receivable are placed on nonaccrual status when management determines, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the loans are impaired or collection of interest is doubtful. Uncollectible interest previously accrued is recognized as bad debt expense. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received.

A note receivable was given to an unaffiliated third party during the third quarter of 2016 to facilitate its acquisition and development of an industrial facility located in Pennsauken, New Jersey. The loan matures three years after the payment commencement date, which is 90 days after substantial completion of the development, and bears interest at 6.3% during year one, 7.0% during year two and 8.0% during year three. The Company evaluated its investment in the note receivable under ASC 310, Receivables and determined that the loan was provided at market terms and the Company does not participate in the residual profit of the unaffiliated third party. Accordingly, the investment, totaling $3.4 million as of December 31, 2016, has been classified on the Company’s balance sheet as a note receivable within the “Other assets” caption on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with debt financing are capitalized as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt, except for costs capitalized related to the Company’s revolving credit facility, which are capitalized within “deferred costs, net” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs are charged to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements. Deferred financing costs consist primarily of loan fees which are amortized over the related loan term on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs are accelerated, when debt is extinguished, as part of “Interest expense-amortization of deferred financing costs” within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Original issue discounts are recognized as part of the gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, as appropriate.  

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases from the later of the date of the commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to existing leases. The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by approximately $26.3 million in 2016, $21.6 million in 2015 and $13.7 million in 2014. Deferred rents on the balance sheet represent rental revenue received prior to their due dates and amounts paid by the tenant for certain improvements considered to be landlord assets that will remain as the Company’s property at the end of the tenant’s lease term. The amortization of the amounts paid by the tenant for such improvements is calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the tenant’s lease and is a component of straight-line rental income and increased revenue by $2.1 million in 2016, $2.0 million in 2015 and $2.4 million in 2014. Lease incentives, which are included as reductions of rental revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives decreased revenue by $2.0 million in 2016, $1.8 million in 2015, and $1.5 million in 2014.

In addition, the Company’s rental revenue is impacted by the Company’s determination of whether improvements to the properties, whether made by the Company or by the tenant, are landlord assets. The determination of whether an improvement is a landlord asset

F- 22

requires judgment.  In making this judgment, the Company’s primary consideration is whether the improvement would be utilizable by another tenant upon move out of the improved space by the then-existing tenant. If the Company has funded an improvement that it determines not to be landlord assets, then it treats the cost of the improvement as a lease incentive. If the tenant has funded the improvement that the Company determines to be landlord assets, then the Company treats the costs of the improvement as deferred revenue and amortizes this cost into revenue over the lease term. For certain leases, the Company makes significant assumptions and judgments in determining the lease term, including assumptions when the lease provides the tenant with an early termination option. The lease term impacts the period over which the Company determines and records minimum rents and also impacts the period over which the Company amortizes lease-related costs.

The Company’s leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of a portion of common area maintenance expenses and other operating expenses to the extent that a tenant’s pro rata share of expenses exceeds a base year level set in the lease or to the extent that the tenant has a lease on a triple net basis.

Recoveries from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance expenses, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period during which the expenses are incurred.

Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented in accordance with accounting guidance which requires that these reimbursements be recorded on a gross basis because the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to the goods and services the purchase of which gives rise to the reimbursement obligation; because the Company has discretion in selecting the vendors and suppliers; and because the Company bears the credit risk in the event they do not reimburse the Company. The Company also receives payments from third parties for reimbursement of a portion of the payroll and payroll-related costs for certain of the Company’s personnel allocated to perform services for these third parties and reflects these payments on a gross basis.

The Company recognizes gains on sales of real estate at times and in amounts determined in accordance with the accounting guidance for sales of real estate. The guidance takes into account the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement, including in the form of management, leasing of space or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria for the full accrual method are not met, then the Company defers some or all of the gain recognition and accounts for the continued operations of the property by applying the finance, leasing, profit sharing, deposit, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, until the sales criteria are met.

The Company derives parking revenues from leases, monthly parking and transient parking. The Company recognizes parking revenue as earned.

The Company receives leasing commission income, property management fees and third party development fees. Leasing commission income is earned based on a percentage of gross rental income upon a tenant signing a lease with a third party lessor. Property management fees are recorded and earned based on a percentage of collected rents at the properties under management, and not on a straight-line basis, because such fees are contingent upon the collection of rents. The Company records development fees on a percentage of completion basis taking into account the risk associated with each project.

The Company recognizes fees received for lease terminations as revenue and writes off against such revenue any deferred rents receivable. The resulting net amount is the net revenue from the early termination of the leases. When a tenant's lease for space in a property is terminated early but the tenant continues to lease such space under a new or modified lease in the property, the net revenue from the early termination of the lease is recognized evenly over the remaining life of the new or modified lease in place on that property, unless the Company cannot determine that collectability of the lease termination revenue is reasonably assured.

No tenant represented greater than 10% of the Company’s rental revenue in 2016, 2015 or 2014.

Income Taxes

Parent Company

The Parent Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to continue to qualify as a REIT, the Parent Company is required to, among other things, distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. As a REIT, the Parent Company is not subject to federal and state income taxes with respect to the portion of its income that meets certain criteria and is distributed annually to its shareholders. Accordingly, a nominal provision for federal and state income taxes is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the operations of the Parent Company. The Parent Company intends to continue to operate in a manner that allows it to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal and state income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent tax years. The Parent Company is subject to certain local income taxes. Provision for such taxes has been included in general and administrative expenses in the Parent Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

F- 23

The tax basis of the Parent Company’s assets was $3.0 billion and $3.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Parent Company is subject to a 4% federal excise tax if sufficient taxable income is not distributed within prescribed time limits. The excise tax equals 4% of the annual amount, if any, by which the sum of (a) 85% of the Parent Company’s ordinary income and (b) 95% of the Parent Company’s net capital gain exceeds cash distributions and certain taxes paid by the Parent Company. No excise tax was incurred in 2016, 2015 or 2014.

The Parent Company has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). A TRS is subject to federal, state and local income tax. In general, a TRS may perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that the Parent Company, as a REIT, cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries did not have significant tax provisions or deferred income tax items as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act) was enacted in December 2015, and included numerous law changes applicable to REITs.  The provisions have various effective dates beginning as early as 2016.  The changes have not materially impacted the Company’s operations, but the Company will continue to monitor as regulatory guidance is issued.

Operating Partnership

In general, the Operating Partnership is not subject to federal and state income taxes, and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The partners of the Operating Partnership are required to include their respective share of the Operating Partnership’s profits or losses in their respective tax returns. The Operating Partnership’s tax returns and the amount of allocable Partnership profits and losses are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such examination results in changes to the Operating Partnership profits or losses, then the tax liability of the partners would be changed accordingly.

The tax basis of the Operating Partnership’s assets was $3.0 billion and $3.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Operating Partnership may elect to treat one or more of its subsidiaries as REITs under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. Each subsidiary REIT has met the requirements for treatment as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and, accordingly, no provision has been made for federal and state income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If any subsidiary REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, that subsidiary REIT will be subject to federal and state income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Also, each subsidiary REIT may be subject to certain local income taxes.

The Operating Partnership has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as TRSs, which are subject to federal, state and local income tax.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders, as adjusted for unallocated earnings, if any, of certain securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable in connection with awards under share-based compensation plans, including upon the exercise of stock options, and conversion of the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.  Anti-dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation.

Earnings Per Unit

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders, as adjusted for unallocated earnings, if any, of certain securities issued by the Operating Partnership, by the weighted average number of common unit equivalents outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares issuable in connection with awards under share-based compensation plans, including upon the exercise of stock options. Anti-dilutive units are excluded from the calculation.

Share-Based Compensation Plans

The Parent Company maintains a shareholder-approved equity-incentive plan known as the Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “1997 Plan”). The 1997 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees. Under the 1997 Plan, the Compensation Committee is authorized to award equity and equity-based awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted shares and performance-based shares. On June 2, 2010, the Parent Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the 1997 Plan that, among other things, increased the number of common shares available for future awards under the 1997 Plan by 6,000,000 (of which 3,600,000 shares are available solely for options and share

F- 24

appreciation rights). As of December 31, 2016, 4,295,559 common shares remained available for future awards under the 1997 Plan (including 2,377,778 shares available solely for options and share appreciation rights).

The Company incurred share-based compensation expense of $5.6 million during 2016, of which $1.0 million was capitalized as part of the Company’s review of employee salaries eligible for capitalization. The Company incurred share-based compensation expense of $7.3 million and $6.1 million during 2015 and 2014, of which $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, were also capitalized. The expensed amounts are included in general and administrative expense on the Company’s consolidated income statement in the respective periods.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is recorded in accordance with the provisions of the accounting standard for comprehensive income. The accounting standard establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income includes the effective portions of changes in the fair value of derivatives.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with the accounting standard for derivative and hedging activities. The accounting standard requires the Company to measure every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. See disclosures below related to the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income while the ineffective portions are recognized in earnings.

The Company actively manages its ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt. To manage its fixed and floating rate debt in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from time to time, enters into interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges, under which it agrees to exchange various combinations of fixed and/or variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company estimates the fair value of its derivatives in accordance with the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures. The accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;

• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity or information.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Non-financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a business combination and the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets measured at fair value.  The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets and equity method investments for other than temporary impairment. Any impairments recorded on equity method investments would be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair values assigned to the Company's purchase price allocations primarily utilize Level 3 inputs. The fair value assigned to the long-lived assets for which there was impairment recorded utilize Level 3 inputs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business for purposes of determining when an acquisition (or disposition) should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition (or disposition) under the relevant accounting guidance.  The amendments in the update provide a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business.  The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, the amendments in the update require that: (i) to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (ii) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments provide a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The framework includes two groups of criteria to consider that depend on whether a set has outputs. Although outputs are not required for a set to be a business, outputs generally are a key element of a business; therefore, the update provides more stringent criteria for sets without outputs. The guidance is applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for transactions which have not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. Properties acquired by the Company will most likely qualify as asset acquisitions under the new guidance compared to deemed business combinations under the previous accounting guidance. As a result, acquired property will be measured at cost, which generally includes transaction costs, the one year measurement period to determine the value of acquired contingencies does not apply to asset acquisitions and the disclosure requirements will change.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts described as restricted cash or cash equivalents.  Beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows should include restricted cash, cash equivalents and amounts described as restricted cash or cash equivalents. The guidance does not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The areas addressed in the new guidance related to debt prepayment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned and bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investments, beneficial interest in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method.  The Company elected to early adopt this guidance resulting in a reclassification of debt extinguishment costs from operating activities to financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016. There was no other impact from the adoption of this guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current incurred loss model with an expected loss approach, resulting in a more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted after December 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance and determined that the adoption of the guidance will have an impact on the Company’s estimation of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has not quantified the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued guidance amending the revenue from contracts with customers standard issued in May 2014 (and not yet effective). The amendments are intended to address implementation issues that were raised by stakeholders and discussed by the Joint Transition Resource Group, and provide additional practical expedients on collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and contract modifications and completed contracts at transition.In accordance with the FASB election to defer the effective date of the revenue recognition standard by one year, reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of its original effective date or for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Calendar year-end reporting entities are therefore required to apply the new revenue guidance beginning in their 2018 interim and annual financial statements.The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance and has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. At this point in time:

• The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition, primarily because most of its revenue is from rental revenue.  

• The Company is analyzing its tenant reimbursement revenue to determine if the performance obligations set forth in the Company’s lease agreements will change the revenue recognition pattern. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the recognition of tenant reimbursement revenue.

F- 26

• The Company expects to identify similar performance obligations under this standard as compared with deliverables and separate units of account previously identified for leasing commissions, management fees and other sundry revenues. As a result, the Company expects the timing of its leasing commissions, management fees and other sundry revenues to remain the same.  

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The new guidance allows for entities to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. In addition, the guidance allows employers to withhold shares to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements up to the employees’ maximum individual tax rate without causing the award to be classified as a liability. The guidance also stipulates that cash paid by an employer to a taxing authority when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company has determined that this accounting guidance has no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Also in March 2016, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that a novation of party to a derivative instrument, whereby one of the parties to a derivative instrument is replaced with another party, does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge criteria continue to be met.  The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity has an option to apply the amendments either on a prospective basis or on a modified retrospective basis. The Company has determined that this accounting guidance has no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance modifying the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification.  Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in the same manner as operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The guidance supersedes previously issued guidance under ASC Topic 840 “Leases.” The guidance is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is expected to have the following impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

• The Company is in the process of separating lease components due under its leases from non-lease components. Under ASC 842 as a lessor, lease components will be recognized on a straight line basis, while non-lease components will be recognized in accordance with the new revenue standard. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

• The Company’s tenant reimbursement revenues generated from common area and maintenance services that are provided to its tenants are considered a non-lease component that must be separated, allocated based on the transaction price allocation guidance and accounted for according to the new revenue standard.  

• ASC 842 is expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has certain operating land lease arrangements for which it is the lessee.

• The Company will expense additional costs related to leasing efforts under ASC 842 compared to the previous GAAP because certain activities performed by personnel involved in the leasing process will no longer be considered incremental costs to execute a lease agreement.

• The Company’s equity-method investments are required to adopt the standard in accordance with public timeline. The Company anticipates the impact of ASC 842 will be similar the items described above.  

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Before this new standard, there was minimal guidance in U.S. GAAP specific to going concern. Under the new standard, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance during the fourth quarter of 2016, which had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued the Revenue from Contracts with Customers standard requiring revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods and services. The standard requires the disclosure of sufficient quantitative and qualitative information for financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and

F- 27

uncertainty of revenue and associated cashflows arising from contracts with customers.On July 9, 2015, the FASB elected to defer the effective date of this revenue recognition standard by one year. Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date or for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Calendar year-end reporting entities are therefore required to apply the new revenue guidance beginning in their 2018 interim and annual financial statements. See above for disclosure of the expected impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company anticipates the impact to its equity method investments will be similar.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

2016

Acquisition

On July 1, 2016, the Company closed on the acquisition of 34.6 acres of land located in Austin, Texas known as the Garza Ranch for a gross purchase price of $20.6 million. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and capitalized approximately $1.9 million of acquisition related costs and closing costs as part of land held for development on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company funded the acquisition with $20.4 million of available corporate funds, net of prorations and other adjustments. As of December 31, 2016, the Company is under agreement to sell 9.5 acres (of the 34.6 acres) to two unaffiliated third parties. As of December 31, 2016, the land under this agreement of sale did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Company has a continuing involvement through a completion guaranty, which requires the Company, as developer, to complete certain infrastructure improvements on behalf of the buyers of the land parcels. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” for information related to the sale of 1.7 acres.

Dispositions

The Company sold the following properties during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Disposition Date	Property/Portfolio Name	Location	Number of Properties	Rentable Square Feet		Sales Price		Net Proceeds on Sale		Gain/(Loss) on Sale (a)

(a) Gain/(Loss) on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

(b) As of June 30, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of the property was probable and classified this property as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the property exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $1.8 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016. The fair value

F- 28

measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the property. As the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement is unobservable, the Company determined that the inputs utilized to determine fair value for this property falls within Level 3 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The loss on sale represents additional closing costs recognized at closing.

(c) During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $7.4 million on the properties. See “Held for Use Impairment” section below. The loss on sale primarily relates to additional closing costs recognized at closing.

(d) Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 10, 2016 contains a complete list of the 58 properties disposed of in the transactions with Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further details of the transactions.

(e) During the three-month period ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $45.4 million. The loss on sale represents additional closing costs recognized at closing.

The Company sold the following land parcels during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Disposition Date	Property/Portfolio Name	Location	Number of Parcels		Acres		Sales Price		Net Proceeds on Sale		Gain on Sale (a)
December 2, 2016	Oakland Lot B	Oakland, CA		1		0.9	$	13,750	$	13,411	$	9,039
August 19, 2016	Highlands Land	Mt. Laurel, NJ		1		2.0		288		284		193

Total Dispositions				3		122.9	$	14,938	$	14,532	$	9,232

(a) Gain on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

(b) The carrying value of the land exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale as of December 31, 2015, therefore the Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.3 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2015. There was no gain or loss recognized on the sale during 2016.

Held for Use Impairment

As of December 31, 2016, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it was determined that due to the reduction in the Company’s intended hold period of three properties located in the Other segment, the Company would not recover the carrying values of these properties. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges on these properties of $7.3 million at December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying values of the properties from $25.8 million to their estimated fair value of $18.5 million. The Company measured these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 8.75% and 9.00%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the income approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis, the Company determined that due to the reduction in the Company’s intended hold period of a property located in the Metropolitan D.C. segment, the Company would not recover the carrying values of that property. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge on the property of $3.9 million at June 30, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying value of the property from $37.4 million to its estimated fair value of $33.5 million. The Company measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rate and discount rate of 7.75% and 8.25%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the income approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of the properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis, the Company determined that due to a reduction in the Company’s intended hold period, the Company would not recover the carrying value of two properties located in its Metropolitan D.C. segment. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of$7.4 million at March 31, 2016 reducing the aggregate carrying values of these properties from $51.9 million to their estimated fair values of $44.5 million. The Company measured these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 7.0%. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the income approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

F- 29

Land Impairments

As of December 31, 2016, the Company assessed the fair value of the land parcels within its Other segment that it intends to sell in the short-term and, based on that assessment, the Company determined that it would not recover the carrying value of five land parcels, consisting of 108 acres. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges of $5.6 million at December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying value of the land parcels from $18.2 million to their estimated fair values of $12.6 million. The Company measured these impairments using indicative pricing in the markets in which each land parcel is located. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the market approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”   

Held for Sale

The following is a summary of properties classified as held for sale at December 31, 2016 but which did not meet the criteria to be classified within discontinued operations at December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

(a) As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of three office properties in the Metropolitan D.C. segment was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded their fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $3.0 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. The Company measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.00% and 10.00%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. As significant inputs to the model are unobservable, the Company determined that the value determined for this property falls within Level 3 fair value reporting.

(b) As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of two office properties in the Other segment was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $11.5 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. The Company measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.75% and 9.75%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. As significant inputs to the model are unobservable, the Company determined that the value determined for this property falls within Level 3 fair value reporting.

(c) As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of a land parcel in the Other segment was probable and classified the land parcel as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the land approximated the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale and the Company recorded a nominal impairment. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale.

The sales of the Company’s fee interests in the properties referenced above do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As a result, the operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented. See Note 21, "Subsequent Events," for further information regarding these dispositions.

2015

Acquisitions

On July 7, 2015, the Company acquired a 0.8 acre parcel of land located at 2100 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $18.8 million. The Company funded $16.8 million of the purchase price with available corporate funds and the remaining $2.0 million of the purchase price was deferred until the earlier of the commencement of development or 24 months from settlement. The Company

F- 30

accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and capitalized a nominal amount of acquisition related costs and other costs as part of land inventory on its consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the purchase agreement, if certain land parcels adjacent to 2100 Market Street are acquired from unaffiliated third parties, the Company may be required to pay additional consideration to the seller of 2100 Market Street. The unaffiliated third parties are not party to this transaction and any land parcels acquired will be acquired in arm’s length transactions. The amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the seller of 2100 Market Street cannot be determined at this time. The Company has not yet determined the timing and cost of construction for the project as of December 31, 2015.

On June 22, 2015, through a series of transactions with International Business Machines ("IBM"), the Company acquired the remaining 50.0% interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, consisting of seven office buildings and the 66.0 acre underlying land parcel located in Austin, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of $211.4 million. The aggregate purchase price includes the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Broadmoor Austin Associates of $66.3 million. The office buildings contain 1,112,236 net rentable square feet of office space and were 100.0% occupied as of June 22, 2015. The Company funded the cost of the acquisition with an aggregate cash payment of $143.8 million, consisting of $81.0 million from available corporate funds and $62.8 million previously held in escrow related to a Section 1031 like-kind exchange. Part of the cash payment was used at closing to repay, at no repayment penalty, the remaining $51.2 million of secured debt. The Company incurred $0.2 million of acquisition related costs that are classified within general and administrative expenses.

The Company previously accounted for its 50.0% non-controlling interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates under the equity method of accounting. As a result of acquiring IBM's remaining 50.0% common interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, the Company obtained control of Broadmoor Austin Associates and the Company's existing investment balance was remeasured based on the fair value of the underlying properties acquired and the existing distribution provisions under the relevant partnership agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a $0.8 million gain on remeasurement.

Broadmoor Austin Associates contributed revenue, included in the Company’s consolidated income statements, of $26.4 million and $13.2 million and net losses of $5.2 million and $7.2 million for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company has treated its acquisition of the 50.0% ownership interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. The Company utilized a number of sources in making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangibles assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed. The purchase price has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

For the year ended December 31, 2014, $0.2 million of acquisition related costs are included as if the transaction occurred January 1, 2014.

On April 6, 2015, the Company acquired a 0.8 acre parcel of land, located at 25 M Street Southeast, Washington, D.C. for $20.3 million. The Company funded the cost of this acquisition with available corporate funds. The Company capitalized $0.3 million of acquisition related costs and these costs are included as part of land inventory on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. On May 12, 2015, the Company subsequently contributed the land parcel into a newly formed real estate venture known as 25 M Street Holdings, LLC (“25 M Street”), a joint venture between the Company and Jaco 25 M Investors, LLC (“Akridge”), an unaffiliated third party, with the intent to construct a 271,000 square foot Class A office property. The Company holds a 95.0% ownership interest in 25 M Street and Akridge contributed $1.0 million in cash for its 5.0% ownership interest in 25 M Street. The $1.0 million contribution from Akridge was distributed to the Company during 2015. 25 M Street is consolidated within the Company's financial statements. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information. As of December 31, 2015, 25 M Street had not finalized development plans and total development costs, or received committed debt financing.

On April 2, 2015, the Company acquired, from an unaffiliated third party, a property located at 618 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, comprised of a 330-space parking garage and 14,404 net rentable square feet for $19.4 million. Although the property is currently fully operational, the Company intends to either redevelop the existing property or demolish and fully develop the property. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had not yet begun any such development or redevelopment plans. The purchase price includes contingent consideration, recorded at fair value and payable to the seller upon commencement of development, totaling $1.6 million, and cash of $17.8 million.

The Company has treated the acquisition of 618 Market Street as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets. The Company utilized a number of sources in making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company allocated $19.2 million to building, land and improvements and $0.2 million to intangible assets.

The fair value of contingent consideration was determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The significant inputs to the discounted cash flow model were the discount rate and weighted probability scenarios. As the inputs are unobservable,

F- 32

the Company determined the inputs used to value this liability falls within Level 3 for fair value reporting. As of December 31, 2015, there was no significant changes to the inputs and the liability remains within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $45.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2015.

As a result, the operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented. See Note 21, "Subsequent Events," for further information regarding these dispositions.

Held for Use Impairment

As of December 31, 2015, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis, it was determined that due to deteriorating operating results, increased market vacancy and a reduction in management’s intended hold period, the Company would not recover the carrying value of three properties located in the Company’s Metropolitan D.C. segment. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $27.5 million at December 31, 2015 reducing the aggregate carrying values of these properties from $40.4 million to their estimated fair values of $12.9 million. The

F- 34

Company determined these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 8.0%. The results were compared to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value are Level 3 inputs, respectively, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

Brandywine - AI Venture: 3141 Fairview Park Drive

On December 20, 2011, the Company formed a real estate venture, Brandywine - AI Venture LLC, (the "AICC Venture"), with Current Creek Investments, LLC ("Current Creek"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company. The Company and Current Creek each own a 50% interest in the AICC Venture. The AICC Venture owns three office properties, which the Company contributed to the AICC Venture upon its formation. The contributed office properties contain an aggregate of 587,317 net rentable square feet and consist of 3130 and 3141 Fairview Park Drive, both located in Falls Church, Virginia, and 7101 Wisconsin Avenue located in Bethesda, Maryland.

The Company maintained a regional management and leasing office at 3141 Fairview Park Drive. Consistent with the other four properties owned by the AICC Venture, financial control was shared, however, pursuant to the accounting standard for sales-leaseback transactions, the lease that the Company maintained at 3141 Fairview Park Drive resulted in the Company having continuing involvement that required 3141 Fairview Park Drive and its related operations to be consolidated by the Company under the financing method of accounting for sales of real estate. At formation, the Company concluded under ASC 810,Consolidationsthat it was appropriate to deconsolidate the remaining two properties and account for them under the equity method of accounting.

On August 31, 2016, the Company terminated its lease for the regional management and leasing office at 3141 Fairview Park Drive. Accordingly, the Company no longer has a continuing involvement, other than the equity method investment and property management agreement, with 3141 Fairview Park Drive and recorded the partial sale under the full accrual method of accounting. As a result of the sale accounting, the Company deconsolidated net assets of $45.6 million, a mortgage loan of $20.6 million and a financing liability of $12.4 million related to the property from its consolidated balance sheet and recorded a $12.6 million equity method investment. Upon recognizing the sale, there was no gain or loss, as 3141 Fairview Park Drive was impaired to its fair value during the second quarter of 2016.

On September 30, 2016, the Company funded a capital call totaling $10.3 million to the AICC Venture for its 50% share of the mortgage debt on 3141 Fairview Park Drive. Subsequently, the AICC Venture funded $20.6 million for the repayment of its mortgage debt.

The Company determined that the partial sale recognition does not have an impact on the accounting standard for VIEs because the underlying real estate venture agreements are unchanged. The Venture is not a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs.  As a result, the Company continues to use the voting interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate the Venture.  Based upon each member’s substantive participating rights over the activities of the Venture under its operating and related agreements, it is not consolidated by the Company, and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Brandywine - AI Venture: Station Square Impairment

On July, 10, 2012, Brandywine – AI Venture (the “AISS Venture”), an unconsolidated real estate venture in which the Company owns a 50% interest, acquired a three building office portfolio totaling 497,896 net rentable square feet in Silver Spring, Maryland (“Station Square”) valued at $120.6 million. During the period ended September 30, 2016, the AISS Venture recorded a $10.4 million held for use impairment charge related to Station Square, which is included in the Company’s Metropolitan D.C. segment. The Company's share of this impairment charge was $5.2 million and is reflected in equity in loss of Real Estate Ventures in its consolidated statement of operations for the period ended December 31, 2016.  The fair value of the Station Square properties was primarily determined based on offers received for the properties. The remaining properties in the AISS Venture were evaluated for impairment, and based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis, no additional other than temporary impairment was identified.

All of the inputs used to determine the above-mentioned impairment charges are categorized Level 3, as previously defined.

The Company evaluated for other than temporary impairment in its investment in the AISS Venture in accordance with ASC 323,Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The investment in the AISS Venture was determined to be the level of account

F- 39

for evaluation of other than temporary impairment.  The impairment recorded on the three properties was deemed to be an event that indicates the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable.  Following the recognition of the Company’s proportionate share of the impairment charge through equity in loss of Real Estate Ventures, the Company evaluated the fair value of the investment in the AISS Venture through a hypothetical liquidation at book value method.  No other than temporary impairment was identified.      

PJP V

On September 22, 2016, the real estate venture known as PJV V sold its office property, comprised of 73,997 square feet, located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Also on September 22, 2016, using proceeds from the sale, the Company liquidated its entire 25% interest in the real estate venture for $3.4 million, net of closing costs. The carrying amount of the Company’s investment was $0.2 million at the time of sale, resulting in a recognized gain of $3.2 million related to the disposition.

Invesco Venture

On August 19, 2016, the Company assigned its residual profits interest in an unconsolidated real estate venture known as Invesco, L.P. to the general partner of Invesco L.P. for $7.0 million. At the time of sale, the Company’s investment basis in Invesco, L.P. was zero and the Company held no other ownership interest. As a result, the Company recorded the entire amount of the proceeds received as a gain on sale of unconsolidated real estate ventures in its consolidated statement of operations.

1000 Chesterbrook

On June 30, 2016, the real estate venture known as 1000 Chesterbrook sold its office property, comprised of 172,286 square feet, located in Berwyn, Pennsylvania for a sales price of $32.1 million. As of June 30, 2016, the Company owned a 50% interest in the 1000 Chesterbrook real estate venture. The proceeds to 1000 Chesterbrook, net of closing costs, proration adjustments and $23.2 million of debt assumed by the buyer, were $9.8 million. The Company recorded $3.2 million for its proportionate share of the Venture’s gain which is reflected in “Gain on Real Estate Venture transactions” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The proceeds from the sale, along with $0.2 million of working capital, were distributed to the Company during the third quarter of 2016.

evo at Cira Centre South Venture

On January 25, 2013, the Company formed HSRE-Campus Crest IX Real Estate Venture (“evo at Cira”), a joint venture among the Company and two unaffiliated third parties:  Campus Crest Properties, LLC (“Campus Crest”) and HSRE-Campus Crest IXA, LLC (“HSRE”). evo at Cira constructed a 33-story, 850-bed student housing tower located in the University City submarket of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Each of the Company and Campus Crest owns a 30% interest in evo at Cira and HSRE owns a 40% interest.  evo at Cira developed the project on a one-acre land parcel held under a long-term ground lease with a third party lessor. The Company contributed to evo at Cira its tenancy rights under a long-term ground lease, together with associated development rights, at an agreed-upon value of $8.5 million.

The Company’s historical cost basis in the development rights that it contributed to the evo at Cira was $4.0 million, thus creating a $4.5 million basis difference at December 31, 2013 between the Company’s initial outside investment basis and its $8.5 million initial equity basis.  As this basis difference is not related to a physical land parcel, but rather to development rights to construct evo at Cira, the Company will accrete the basis difference as a reduction of depreciation expense over the life of evo at Cira’s assets.

On March 2, 2016, the Company paid $12.8 million of cash and HSRE paid $6.6 million of cash to purchase Campus Crest’s entire 30% interest in evo at Cira and, as a result, each of the Company and HSRE owns a 50% interest in evo at Cira. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company’s investment basis in evo at Cira is $28.3 million. In conjunction with the purchase, the Company and HSRE entered into an amended and restated operating agreement to govern their rights and obligations as sole members of evo at Cira.

On June 10, 2016, evo at Cira refinanced its $97.8 million construction facility maturing July 25, 2016 with a $117.0 million term loan bearing interest at LIBOR + 2.25% capped at a total maximum interest of 5.25% and maturing on October 31, 2019, with options to extend the term to June 30, 2021. evo at Cira received an advance of $105.0 million at closing. The additional $12.0 million capacity under the term loan may be funded if certain criteria relating to the operating performance of the student housing tower are met. The term loan is secured by a leasehold mortgage that holds absolute assignment of leases and rents. Subsequent to refinancing and the receipt of amounts in escrow under the construction loan, evo at Cira distributed $6.3 million to the Company.

F- 40

The Company accounted for its investment in evo at Cira under the equity method of accounting. Based upon the reconsideration event caused by the refinancing of evo at Cira’s construction facility, the Company reassessed its consolidation conclusion. The Company determined that this Real Estate Venture is no longer a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs because evo at Cira, through the refinancing of the construction facility and without further support from the Company or HSRE, demonstrated that it has sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities. As a result, the Company used the voting interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate evo at Cira. Based upon each member's substantive participating rights over the activities that significantly impact the operations and revenues of evo at Cira under the operating agreement and related agreements, evo at Cira is not consolidated by the Company, and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As a result of this transaction, the Company did not gain a controlling financial interest over evo at Cira; therefore, it was not required to remeasure its previously held equity interest to fair value at the date that it acquired the additional equity interest.

MAP Venture

On February 4, 2016, Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P., together with subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, entered into a series of related transactions (the “Och-Ziff Sale”) with affiliates of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC (“Och-Ziff”) that resulted in the disposition by the Company of 58 office properties that contain an aggregate of 3,924,783 square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $398.1 million. The 58 properties are located in the Pennsylvania Suburbs, New Jersey/Delaware, Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Virginia. The related transactions involved: (i) the sale by the Company to MAP Fee Owner LLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff (the “O-Z Land Purchaser”), of 100% of the Company’s fee interests in the land parcels (the “Land Parcels”) underlying the 58 office properties, together with rights to be the lessor under long-term ground leases (the “Ground Leases”) covering the Land Parcels and; (ii) the Company’s formation of MAP Ground Lease Venture LLC (the “MAP Venture”) with MAP Ground Lease HoldingsLLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff (the “O-Z Venture Partner”),(iii)the Company’s sale toMAPVenture of the office buildings and related improvements (the “Buildings”) situated on the Land Parcels; and (iv) the retention of a50%non-controlling equity interest in theMAPVenture. 

The MAP Venture leases the Land Parcels from O-Z Land Purchaser through a ground lease that extends through February 2115.  Annual payments by the MAP Venture, as tenant under the Ground Leases, initially total $11.9 million and increase 2.5% annually through November 2025.

At closing on February 4, 2016, the MAP Venture obtained a third party non-recourse debt financing of approximately $180.8 million secured by mortgages on the Buildings of the MAP Venture.

As a result of this transaction, the Company received $354.0 million in proceeds and maintain a 50% ownership interest in the MAP Venture valued as of February 4, 2016 at $25.2 million, which holds the leasehold interest in the Buildings. The MAP Venture was formed as a limited liability company in which the Company has been designated as the Managing Member. In addition, through an affiliate, the Company provides property management services at the Buildings on behalf of the MAP Venture for a market based management fee.

The Company has determined that the MAP Venture is a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for consolidation of VIE’s. As a result, the Company used the VIE model under the accounting standard for consolidations to determine if it will consolidate the MAP Venture. Based on the provisions in the limited liability company agreement, the Company determined that it shares with O-Z Venture Partner the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the MAP Venture. Since control is shared, the Buildings were deconsolidated by the Company and accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

The Company is not required to fund the operating losses of the MAP Venture. Accordingly, it can only incur losses equal to its investment basis in the MAP Venture.

The Company has determined that this transaction does not represent a significant shift in the Company’s operations that has a major impact on the Company’s economic performance. As a result, the properties are not classified as discontinued operations on the consolidated financial statements.

Coppell Associates

On January 29, 2016, the Company sold its entire 50% interest in an unconsolidated real estate venture known as Coppell Associates. The proceeds to the Company, net of closing costs and related debt payoff, were $4.6 million.  The carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Coppell Associates was a $1.1 million liability at the sale date, resulting in a $5.7 million gain on sale of its interest in the real estate venture. The investment was in a liability position because the Company, as a general partner, was required to fund losses of Coppell Associates. The negative investment balance represented the Company’s share of unfunded cumulative losses incurred in excess of its investment basis as of the date of sale.

F- 41

Residence Inn Tower Bridge

On December 30, 2015, the Company sold its entire 50% ownership interest in an unconsolidated real estate venture known as Residence Inn Tower Bridge (the “Residence Inn”). The proceeds to the Company, net of closing costs and related debt payoff, were $6.1 million.  The carrying amount of the Company’s investment in the Residence Inn amounted to $0.9 million at the sale date, resulting in a $5.2 million gain on sale of its interest in the Real Estate Venture.

JBG Ventures

On May 29, 2015, the Company and an unaffiliated third party, JBG/DC Manager, LLC ("JBG"), formed 51 N 50 Patterson, Holdings, LLC Venture ("51 N Street") and 1250 First Street Office, LLC Venture ("1250 First Street"), as real estate ventures, with the Company owning a 70.0% interest and JBG owning a 30.0% interest in each of the two ventures. At formation, the Company and JBG made cash contributions of $15.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively, to 51 N Street, which was used to purchase 0.9 acres of undeveloped land. At formation, the Company and JBG made cash capital contributions of $13.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively, to 1250 First Street, which was used to purchase 0.5 acres of undeveloped land.

Based upon the facts and circumstances at formation of each of the two ventures with JBG, the Company determined that each venture is a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs. As a result, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate the JBG Ventures. JBG is the managing member of the ventures, and pursuant to the operating and related agreements, major decisions require the approval of both members. Based upon each member's shared power over the activities of each of the two ventures, which most significantly impact the economics of the ventures, neither venture is consolidated by the Company. Each venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Broadmoor Austin Associates

On June 22, 2015, the Company became the sole owner of Broadmoor Austin Associates upon the Company's acquisition from an unaffiliated third party of the remaining 50.0% ownership interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates. Broadmoor Austin Associates owns seven office buildings in Austin, Texas. See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," for further information.

25 M Street (Akridge)

On May 12, 2015, the Company contributed the parcel of land purchased on April 9, 2015 into a newly formed real estate venture known as 25 M Street, a joint venture between the Company and Akridge, an unaffiliated third party. See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," for further information.

Based on the facts and circumstances at formation of 25 M Street, the Company determined that 25 M Street is a variable interest entity (VIE) in accordance with the accounting standard for consolidation of VIEs. Accordingly, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate 25 M Street. Under the operating and related agreements the Company has the power to control substantially all of the activities which most significantly impact the economics of 25 M Street, and accordingly, 25 M Street is consolidated within the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the project, which is included in the land held for development caption of the consolidated balance sheets, was $22.4 million and $20.5 million, respectively.

DRA - PA Venture

On December 19, 2007, the Company formed G&I Interchange Office LLC, a real estate venture (the “Interchange Venture”), with an unaffiliated third party, G&I VI Investment Interchange Office LLC (“G&I VI”), an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC. The Interchange Venture owned 29 office properties containing an aggregate of 1,611,961 net rentable square feet located in Montgomery, Lehigh and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania. The Company contributed these 29 properties to the Interchange Venture upon the Interchange Venture's formation and in exchange for the contribution received a cash distribution from the Venture and a 20.0% ownership interest in the Interchange Venture.

On February 27, 2015, the Interchange Venture entered into a forbearance agreement with an unaffiliated lender that held a nonrecourse mortgage on the Venture's assets. The loan matured on January 1, 2015. On August 12, 2015, the lender sold the properties to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser under the forbearance agreement and assumed the proceeds. Commensurate with the sale, the Interchange Venture was dissolved.

1919 Ventures

On January 20, 2011, the Company acquired a one acre parcel of land in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $9.3 million. The Company thereafter contributed the acquired land into a then newly-formed general partnership, referred to below as “1919 Ventures” in return for a 50.0% general partner interest, with the remaining 50.0% interest owned by an unaffiliated third party, who contributed cash in

F- 42

exchange for its interest.  On October 15, 2014, the Company acquired the 50% interest of the unaffiliated third party at fair value, which approximates carrying value. No remeasurement gain or loss on the Company’s previous investment was recorded at that time.

On October 21, 2014, the Company admitted an unaffiliated third party, LCOR/CalSTRS (“LCOR”) into 1919 Ventures, for $8.2 million, representing a 50% interest and, reflecting an agreed upon $16.4 million valuation of the land and improvements incurred by the Company on behalf of 1919 Ventures. After giving effect to settlement date contributions, distributions and credits, the Company and LCOR had each made, as of October 21, 2014, an additional $5.2 million capital contribution to 1919 Ventures for closing costs and development.  See Item 1., “Developments – 1919 Ventures” for an overview of the development project currently in process.

As of December 31, 2016, $79.3 million was outstanding on the construction loan and equity contributions of $29.6 million had been funded by each of the Company and LCOR.

Based upon the facts and circumstances at formation of 1919 Ventures, the Company determined that 1919 Ventures is a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs since the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partner and therefore does not have controlling financial interests in this VIE.

Austin Venture

On October 16, 2013, the Company contributed a portfolio of seven office properties containing an aggregate of 1,398,826 rentable square feet located in Austin, Texas (the “Austin Properties”) to a newly-formed joint venture (the “Austin Venture”) with G&I VII Austin Office LLC (“DRA”). DRA and the Company, based on arm’s-length negotiation, agreed to an aggregate gross sales price of $330.0 million subject to an obligation on the Company’s part to fund the first $5.2 million of post-closing capital expenditures, of which $0.8 million was funded by the Company during 2013 and the remaining $4.4 million was funded by the Company during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

DRA owns a 50% interest in the Austin Venture and the Company owns a 50% interest in the Austin Venture, subject to the Company’s right to receive up to an additional 10% of distributions.

At the closing the Austin Venture incurred third party debt financing of approximately $230.6 million secured by mortgages on the Austin Properties and used proceeds of this financing together with $49.7 million of cash contributions by DRA (less $1.9 million of closing costs and $6.9 million of closing prorations and lender holdbacks) to fund a $271.5 million distribution to the Company.  The Company agreed to fund the first $5.2 million of post-closing capital expenditures on behalf of the Austin Venture, resulting in net proceeds of $266.3 million after funding the Company’s capital expenditure obligation.  As part of the transaction, the Company’s subsidiary management company executed an agreement with the Austin Venture to provide property management and leasing services to the Austin Venture in exchange for a market-based fee.

The Company measured its equity interest at fair value based on the fair value of the Austin Properties and the distribution provisions of the real estate venture agreement.  Since the Company retains a non-controlling interest in the Austin Properties and there are no other facts and circumstances that preclude the consummation of a sale, the contribution qualifies as a partial sale of real estate under the relevant guidance for sales of real estate.  Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $25.9 million, which is reflected in “Net gain (loss) on real estate venture transactions” on the accompanying statement of operations.

On April 3, 2014, the Company contributed two three-story, Class A office buildings, commonly known as “Four Points Centre,” containing an aggregate of 192,396 net rentable square feet in Austin, Texas to the Austin Venture.  See Note 3, “Real Estate Investments,” for further information on the contribution.

On July 31, 2014, the Austin Venture acquired the Crossings at Lakeline, comprised of two three-story buildings containing an aggregate of 232,274 rentable square feet located in Austin, Texas for $48.2 million.  The transaction was funded with $34.5 million of proceeds of a 3.87% fixed rate mortgage loan from a non-affiliated institutional lender and $12.8 million (net of $0.9 million in purchase adjustments) of cash capital contributions, with $6.4 million made by each of DRA and the Company.  The Austin Venture expensed approximately $0.1 million of transaction costs to acquire the property, net of $0.6 million credit from the seller.

On October 17, 2014, the Austin Venture acquired River Place, comprised of seven Class A office buildings containing 590,881 rentable square feet located in Austin, Texas for $128.1 million.  The transaction was funded through a combination of an $88.0 million short-term loan, secured by a mortgage, made by the Company to the Austin Venture and cash capital contributions of $18.9 million made by each of DRA and the Company to the Austin Venture.  The short-term financing was provided by the Company while the Austin Venture secured permanent financing. As of December 31, 2014, the Company accounted the short-term financing as a note receivable.  See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for the Company’s accounting treatment.  On January 30,

F- 43

2015, the Austin Venture closed on a mortgage loan with a non-affiliated institutional lender, and used the proceeds of the loan to repay in full an $88.0 million short-term secured loan made by the Company to fund costs of the Austin Venture's acquisition of River Place. The Austin Venture expensed approximately $0.2 million of transaction costs to acquire the property.

On December 31, 2015, the Company contributed two newly constructed four-story, Class A office buildings, commonly known as “Encino Trace,” containing an aggregate of approximately 320,000 square feet in Austin, Texas to the Austin Venture. See Note 3, “Real Estate Investments,” for further information on the contribution.

Based upon the facts and circumstances at formation of the Austin Venture, the Company determined that the Austin Venture is not a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs.  As a result, the Company used the voting interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate the Austin Venture.  Based upon each member’s substantive participating rights over the activities of the Austin Venture under the operating and related agreements of the Austin Venture, it is not consolidated by the Company, and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

The reconsideration event caused by the Company’s contribution of Encino Trace to the Austin Venture did not change the conclusion reached at formation, as the Austin Venture is operating under the same operating and related agreements and the economics are unchanged.

4040 Wilson Venture

On July 31, 2013, the Company formed 4040 Wilson LLC Venture (“4040 Wilson”) a joint venture between the Company and Ashton Park Associates LLC (“Ashton Park”), an unaffiliated third party.  Each of the Company and Ashton Park owns a 50% interest in 4040 Wilson. 4040 Wilson expects to construct a 426,000 square foot office representing the final phase of the eight building, mixed-use, Liberty Center complex developed by the parent company of Ashton Park in the Ballston submarket of Arlington, Virginia.  4040 Wilson expects to develop the office building on a 1.3-acre land parcel contributed by Ashton Park to 4040 Wilson at an agreed upon value of $36.0 million. The total estimated project costs are $202.0 million, which the Company expects will be financed through approximately $72.0 million of partner capital contributions (consisting of $36.0 million in cash from the Company, of which $35.6 million has been funded to date, and land with a value of $36.0 million from Ashton Park), with the remaining balance funded by debt financing through a construction lender that has not yet been determined. During the second quarter of 2015, 4040 Wilson completed the construction of the garage structure.  The Company expects groundbreaking on the building structure to commence upon achievement of certain pre-leasing levels, at which point 4040 Wilson expects to obtain debt financing for the remainder of the project costs.  

Based upon the facts and circumstances at formation of 4040 Wilson, the Company determined that 4040 Wilson is a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs.  As a result, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate 4040 Wilson.  Based upon each member’s shared power over the activities of 4040 Wilson under the operating and related agreements of 4040 Wilson, and the Company’s lack of control over the development and construction phases of the project, 4040 Wilson is not consolidated by the Company, and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Guarantees

As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures had aggregate indebtedness to third parties of $997.5 million.  These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to the Company.  As of December 31, 2016, the loans for which there is recourse to the Company consists of the following:(i) a $52.5 million payment guaranty on the term loan for evo at Cira; (ii) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the $56.0 million construction loan for TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; (iii) a joint and several cost overrun guaranty on the $88.9 million construction loan for the development project being undertaken by 1919 Market Street LP; and (iv) a $0.4 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII. On January 31, 2017, the Company sold its 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P. and the Company’s $3.2 million guarantee was cancelled. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the consolidated financial statements for further information.  

In addition, during construction undertaken by real estate ventures, the Company has provided and expects to continue to provide cost overrun and completion guarantees, with rights of contribution among partners or members in the real estate ventures, as well as customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of customary exceptions to nonrecourse provisions in loan agreements.

Brokerage Commission Payments to Related Party

In May 2015, the Company leased approximately 228,000 square feet of office space (the “2015 Lease”) to a third-party commercial tenant represented by a commercial real estate broker named WDL-EL Real Estate Advisory Group, LLC, which does business as “NorthMarq Advisors” (“NorthMarq”).  Walter D’Alessio, who served until February 17, 2017 as our Chairman and Lead Independent Director, owns a 33.3% membership interest in WDL Real Estate Advisory Group, LLC (“WDL”), which in turn owns a 49% interest in NorthMarq.  Mr. D’Alessio is also a Principal of NorthMarq and Chairman of the Board of the tenant.  

The tenant maintained a long-standing brokerage relationship with NorthMarq that pre-dated the Company’s commencement of discussions as to the 2015 Lease, and NorthMarq acted as the tenant’s exclusive broker in connection with the lease. Consistent with customary practice in the commercial real estate industry, the Company paid the tenant’s brokerage commission in the amount of $4.2 million, with one-half paid to NorthMarq in 2015 upon signing of the lease and the balance paid to NorthMarq in 2016 upon the tenant’s occupancy of the leased premises.

(a) On August 31, 2016, the Company deconsolidated 3141 Fairview Park Drive and began accounting for it under the equity method of accounting as part of Brandywine - AI Venture LLC, an unconsolidated real estate venture in which the Company holds a 50% interest. At December 31, 2015, this balance represented the full debt amount of the property, as it was consolidated at that time. See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further details.

(b) On April 7, 2016, the Company closed on an $86.9 million first mortgage financing on Two Logan Square, a 708,844-square foot office property located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Proceeds of the loan were used to repay, without penalty, the $86.6 million principal balance of the former Two Logan Square first mortgage loan, which had a 7.57% effective interest rate.

(c) This loan was assumed upon acquisition of the related properties on December 19, 2013. On December 29, 2015, the Company refinanced the debt increasing the principal balance to $130.0 million and extended the term from the scheduled maturity from January 6, 2016 to April 5, 2023.  The effective interest rate as of December 31, 2015 was 3.64%.  A default under this loan will also constitute a default under the loan outstanding on Two Commerce Square. This loan is also secured by a lien on Two Commerce Square.

(d) This loan was assumed upon acquisition of the related property on December 19, 2013. The interest rate reflects the market rate at the time of acquisition. A default under this loan will also constitute a default under the loan outstanding on One Commerce Square. This loan is also secured by a lien on One Commerce Square.

(e) On January 14, 2016, the Company funded $265.8 million to prepay two mortgage loans, consisting of $176.9 million of principal repayment, $44.5 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness on the office property located at 2970 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania commonly known as 30^th Street Main Post Office (“Cira Square”), ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030. Also on January 14, 2016, the Company funded $44.4 million, consisting of $35.5 million of principal repayment, $8.9 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness of a 1,662 parking space facility located in

F- 47

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania commonly known as (“Cira South Garage”), ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030. These repayments were financed with $195.0 million of funds available under the Credit Facility with the remaining balance funded through available cash balances. The Company recognized a $66.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt, consisting of the prepayment charges along with $10.8 million and $2.4 million related tonon-cash charges for deferred financing costs for Cira Square and Cira South Garage, respectively.

(f) On April 1, 2016, the entire principal balance of the unsecured 6.00% Guaranteed Notes was repaid upon maturity. Available cash balances were used to fund the repayment of the unsecured notes.

During 2016, 2015, and 2014, the Company’s weighted-average effective interest rate on its mortgage notes payable was 4.03%, 5.72%, and 5.73%, respectively.  As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying value of the mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Company’s Properties was $325.0 million and $562.7 million, respectively.

The Parent Company unconditionally guarantees the unsecured debt obligations of the Operating Partnership (or is a co-borrower with the Operating Partnership) but does not by itself incur unsecured indebtedness.  The Parent Company has no material assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.

On September 16, 2014, the Company closed on an underwritten offering of its 4.10% Guaranteed Notes 2024 Notes due October 1, 2024 (the “2014 Notes”) and  its 4.55% Guaranteed Notes due October 1, 2029 Notes (the “2029 Notes”).  The 2024 Notes were priced at 99.388% of their face amount with a yield to maturity of 4.175%, representing a spread at the time of pricing of 1.70%. The 2029 Notes were priced at 99.191% of their face amount with a yield to maturity of 4.625%, representing a spread at the time of pricing of 2.15%.  The 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes have been reflected net of discounts of $1.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and $1.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes, aggregating $492.9 million after the deduction for underwriting discounts and offering expenses, to fund its repurchase, through a tender offer, of a portion of the 5.40% Guaranteed Notes due November 1, 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) and 7.50% Guaranteed Notes due May 15, 2015 (the “2015 Notes”). Specifically, on September 16, 2014, the Company funded, under the tender offer, $75.1 million in respect of the 2014 Notes and $42.7 million in respect of the 2015 Notes.  The Company recognized a $2.6 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the total repurchase during the year ended December 31, 2014.

On September 16, 2014, the Company repaid the entire $150.0 million three-year term loan and $100.0 million four-year term loan prior to their scheduled February 2015 and 2016 maturities, respectively. In connection with these repayments, the Company accelerated $0.3 million of deferred financing amortization expense and also incurred a $0.8 million charge on the termination of associated interest rate swap contracts, as reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9, “Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments,” for further information related to the termination of the interest rate swap contracts.

On September 16, 2014, the Company gave notice of redemption, in full, of the $143.5 million in principal amount of 2014 Notes that remained outstanding following completion of the tender offer.  The Company completed the redemption of the 2014 Notes on October 16, 2014 at a cash redemption price of $1,026.88 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2014 Notes (inclusive of accrued interest to the redemption date).  Also on September 16, 2014, the Company gave notice of redemption, in full, of the $114.9 million in principal amount of 2015 Notes that remained outstanding following completion of the tender offer.  The Company completed the redemption of the 2015 Notes on October 16, 2014 at a cash redemption price of $1,070.24 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2015 Notes (inclusive of accrued interest to the redemption date).  The Company recognized a $5.0 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to total repurchase during the year ended December 31, 2014.

There were no repurchases of unsecured debt during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The following table provides additional information on the Company’s repurchase of $376.2 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding unsecured notes (consisting of the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes, as indicated above) during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

On October 8, 2015, the Company amended and restated its $200.0 million seven-year term loan maturing February 1, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Company increased the term loan by an additional $50.0 million, lengthened the maturity date to October 8, 2022, and exercised the option to increase the aggregate amount by up to $150.0 million. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.80%. Through a series of interest rate swaps, the $250.0 million outstanding balance of the term loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.72%.

On May 15, 2015, the Company closed on a four-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") that provides for borrowings of up to $600.0 million. The Company expects to use advances under the Credit Facility for general business purposes, including to fund costs of acquisitions, developments and redevelopments of properties, fund share repurchases and to repay from time to time other debt. On terms and conditions specified in the credit agreement, the Company may enter into unsecured term loans and/or increase the initial amount of the credit facility by up to, in the aggregate for all such term loans and increases, an additional $400.0 million. The Credit Facility includes a $65.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $60.0 million sub-limit for swing-loans. The Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of May 15, 2019, and is subject to two six-month extensions on terms and conditions specified in the credit agreement.

At the Company's option, loans outstanding under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (1) LIBOR plus between 0.875% and 1.55% based on the Company's credit rating or (2) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent's prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% or (c) LIBOR for a one month period plus 1.00%, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.55% based on the Company's credit rating. The Credit Facility also contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to the Company at a reduced interest rate. In addition, the Company is also obligated to pay (1) in quarterly installments a facility fee on the total commitment at a rate per annum ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% based on the Company's credit rating and (2) an annual fee on the undrawn amount of each letter or credit equal to the LIBOR Margin. Based on the Company's current credit rating, the LIBOR margin is 1.20% and the facility fee is 0.25%. The Company had no borrowings under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2016.

The Credit Facility contains financial and operating covenants and restrictions, including covenants that relate to the Company’s incurrence of additional debt; granting liens; consummation of mergers and consolidations; the disposition of assets and interests in subsidiaries; the making of loans and investments and the payment of dividends. The terms of the Credit Facility require that the Company maintain customary financial and other covenants, including: (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.5 to 1.00; (ii) a minimum net worth; (iii) a leverage ratio less than or equal to 0.60 to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (iv) a ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value less than or equal to 0.60 to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (v) a ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value less than or equal to 0.40 to 1.00; and (vi) a ratio of unencumbered cash flow to interest expense on unsecured debt greater than 1.75 to 1.00. In addition, the Credit Facility restricts payments of dividends and distributions on shares in excess of 95% of the Company's funds from operations (FFO) except to the extent necessary to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. At December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Facility.

Concurrently with its entry into the Credit Facility, the Company terminated its then existing unsecured revolving credit facility, which had a scheduled maturity date of February 1, 2016.

The Term Loan contains the same financial and operating covenants and restrictions, including covenants that relate to the Company’s incurrence of additional debt; granting liens; consummation of mergers and consolidations; the disposition of assets and interests in subsidiaries; the making of loans and investments; negative pledges, transactions with affiliates and the payment of dividends, as the Credit Facility.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2016. Management continuously monitors the Company’s compliance with and anticipated compliance with the covenants. Certain of the covenants restrict the Company’s ability to obtain alternative sources of capital. While the Company currently believes it will remain in compliance with its covenants, in the event that the economy deteriorates in the future, the Company may not be able to remain in compliance with such covenants, in which case a default would result absent a lender waiver.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company determined the fair values disclosed below using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The discount rate used in calculating fair value is the sum of the current risk free rate and the risk premium on the date of measurement of the instruments or obligations. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize upon disposition. The use of different estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts shown. The Company believes that the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015 approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimates of fair value differ from the carrying amounts (in thousands):

	December 31, 2016				December 31, 2015
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Unsecured notes payable	$	1,364,854	$	1,372,758	$	1,512,554	$	1,529,346
Variable rate debt	$	326,709	$	307,510	$	326,410	$	305,522
Mortgage notes payable	$	321,549	$	328,853	$	545,753	$	597,377
Note receivable (a)	$	3,380	$	3,717	$	-	$	-

(a) The inputs to originate the loan are unobservable and, as a result, are categorized as Level 3. The Company determined fair value by calculating the present value of the cash payments to be received through the maturity date of the loan. See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” for further information regarding the note origination.

The inputs utilized to determine the fair value of the Company’s unsecured notes payable are categorized as Level 2. This is because the Company valued these instruments using quoted market prices as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  For the fair value of the Company’s unsecured notes, the Company uses a discount rate based on the indicative new issue pricing provided by lenders.

The inputs utilized to determine the fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes payable and variable rate debt are categorized as Level 3.  The fair value of the variable rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities, as applicable.  The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a blended market rate for loans with similar terms, maturities and loan-to-value. These inputs have been categorized as Level 3 because the Company considers the rates used in the valuation techniques to be unobservable inputs.

For the Company’s mortgage loans, the Company uses an estimate based discounted cash flow analyses and its knowledge of the mortgage market.  The weighted average discount rate for the combined variable rate debt and mortgage loans used to calculate fair value as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was 4.353% and 4.550%, respectively. An increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model would result in a decrease to the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt.  Conversely, a decrease in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model would result in an increase to the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt.

Disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments is based upon pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value

F- 50

amounts, such amounts were not comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2016. Current estimates of fair value may differ from the amounts presented herein.

9. RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risk Management

In the course of its ongoing business operations, the Company encounters economic risk. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is primarily the risk of inability or unwillingness of tenants to make contractually required payments and of counterparties on derivatives contracts to fulfill their obligations. Market risk is the risk of declines in the value of Company properties due to changes in rental rates, interest rates, supply and demand of similar products and other market factors affecting the valuation of properties.

Risks and Uncertainties

In the U.S., market and economic conditions have been improving, resulting in an increase of the volume of real estate transactions in the market.  If the economy deteriorates, vacancy rates may increase through 2017 and possibly beyond.  The financial markets also have an effect on the Company’s Real Estate Venture partners and contractual counterparties, including counterparties in derivative contracts.

The Company’s Credit Facility, term loans and the indenture governing its unsecured public debt securities (See Note 7, “Debt Obligations”) contain restrictions, requirements and other limitations on the ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt which it must maintain. The ability to borrow under the unsecured revolving credit facility is subject to compliance with such financial and other covenants. In the event that the Company fails to satisfy these covenants, it would be in default under the unsecured revolving credit facility, the term loans and the indenture and may be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under such circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available, or may be available only on unattractive terms.

Availability of borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility is subject to a traditional material adverse effect clause. Each time the Company borrows it must represent to the lenders that there have been no events of a nature which would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company taken as a whole or which could negatively affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the unsecured revolving credit facility. While the Company believes that there are currently no material adverse effect events, it is possible that such an event could arise which would limit the Company’s borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility. If an event occurs which is considered to have a material adverse effect, the lenders could consider the Company in default under the terms of the unsecured revolving credit facility and any borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility would become unavailable. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver, this would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2016. Management continuously monitors the Company’s compliance with and anticipated compliance with the covenants. Certain of the covenants restrict management’s ability to obtain alternative sources of capital. While the Company currently believes it will remain in compliance with its covenants, in the event that the economy deteriorates in the future, the Company may not be able to remain in compliance with such covenants, in which case a default would result absent a lender waiver.

Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific transactions. The counterparties to these arrangements are major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company is potentially exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by these counterparties. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, the Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet these obligations as they come due. The Company does not hedge credit or property value market risks through derivative financial instruments.

The Company formally assesses, both at inception of a hedge and on an on-going basis, whether each derivative is highly-effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If management determines that a derivative is not highly-effective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to be a highly-effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively for either the entire hedge or the portion of the hedge that is determined to be ineffective. The related ineffectiveness would be charged to the consolidated statement of operations.

F- 51

The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

To comply with the provisions of the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The notional amounts provide an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in these instruments at that time, but do not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (amounts presented in thousands and included in other assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets).

Hedge Product	Hedge Type	Designation		Notional Amount				Strike			Trade Date	Maturity Date	Fair value
				12/31/2016		12/31/2015							12/31/2016			12/31/2015
Assets

Swap	Interest Rate	Cash Flow	(a)		27,062		27,062		2.750	%	December 21, 2011	September 30, 2017		(83	)		(201	)
				$	328,610	$	328,610

(a)Hedging unsecured variable rate debt.

The Company measures its derivative instruments at fair value and records them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. As of December 31, 2016, one interest rate swap held an asset position and is included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  The remaining swaps are included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that the inputs utilized to determine the fair value of derivative instruments are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Disclosure about the fair value of derivative instruments is based upon pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2016. Current estimates of fair value may differ from the amounts presented herein.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise for the Company when multiple tenants of the Company are engaged in similar business activities, or are located in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that impact in a similar manner their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company. The Company regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. Management believes the current credit risk portfolio is reasonably well diversified and does not contain an unusual concentration of credit risk. No tenant accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s rents during 2016, 2015 and 2014. Conditions in the general economy and the global credit markets have had a significant adverse effect on numerous industries. The Company has tenants concentrated in various industries that may be experiencing adverse effects from the current economic conditions and the Company could be adversely affected if such tenants were to default under their leases.

10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company had no property dispositions classified as discontinued operations during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.  There was nominal income before gain on sales recognized during 2014 relating to properties classified into discontinued operations in prior periods and a $0.9 million gain relating to the post closing activity for the sale of the Princeton Pike Corporate Center in Lawrenceville, New Jersey completed in the first quarter of 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, income from discontinued operations relates to post closing activity stemming from the disposition of an aggregate of 14 properties containing approximately 1.1 million net rentable square feet that the Company sold during the first quarter of 2013.

The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for the properties sold which qualify for discontinued operations reporting since January 1, 2014 (in thousands):

Discontinued operations have not been segregated in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Therefore, amounts for certain captions will not agree with respective data in the consolidated statements of operations.

11. LIMITED PARTNERS’ NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS IN THE PARENT COMPANY

Non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements relate to redeemable common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership held by parties other than the Parent Company and properties which are consolidated but not wholly owned.

Operating Partnership

The aggregate book value of the non-controlling interests associated with the redeemable common limited partnership interests that were consolidated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Company as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was $14.9 million and $16.1 million, respectively.  Under the applicable accounting guidance, the redemption value of limited partnership units are carried at, on a limited partner basis, the greater of historical cost adjusted for the allocation of income and distributions or fair value.  The Parent Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these interests (based on the number of units outstanding and the closing price of the common shares on the balance sheet date) was approximately $24.4 million and $21.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The contingent securities/share based compensation impact is calculated using the treasury stock method and relates to employee awards settled in shares of the Parent Company. The effect of these securities is anti-dilutive for periods that the Parent Company incurs a net loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders and therefore is excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation in such periods.

Redeemable common limited partnership units, totaling 1,479,799 in 2016 and 1,535,102 in both 2015 and 2014, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computations because they are not dilutive.

Unvested restricted shares are considered participating securities which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends were allocated to the unvested restricted shares issued to the Company’s executives and other employees under the Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Common and Preferred Shares

On December 6, 2016, the Parent Company declared a distribution of $0.16 per common share, totaling $28.1 million, which was paid on January 25, 2017 to shareholders of record as of January 11, 2017.  On December 6, 2016, the Parent Company declared distributions on its Series E Preferred Shares to holders of record as of December 30, 2016. These shares are entitled to a preferential return of 6.90% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. Distributions paid on January 17, 2017 to holders of Series E Preferred Shares totaled $1.7 million.

Common Share Repurchases

The Parent Company maintains a common share repurchase program under which the Board of Trustees has authorized the Parent Company to repurchase common shares with no expiration date. On July 22, 2015, the Parent Company's Board of Trustees authorized additional common share repurchases of up to $100.0 million. Prior to the authorization, 539,200 common shares were available for repurchase under the preexisting share repurchase program. The Company expects to fund the share repurchases with a combination of available cash balances and availability under its unsecured revolving credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2016, there were no share repurchases under the program. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased

F- 54

and retired 5,209,437 common shares at an average purchase price of $12.90 per share and totaling $67.3 million. All of the repurchases under the current common share repurchase program occurred during 2015. The timing and amounts of any purchases will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, share prices, capital availability and other factors as determined by the Company’s management team. The repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

The common shares repurchased were retired and, as a result, were accounted for in accordance with Maryland law, which does not contemplate treasury stock. The repurchases were recorded as a reduction of common share (at $0.01 par value per share) and a decrease to additional paid-in-capital.

Unvested restricted units are considered participating securities which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per unit. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends were allocated to the unvested restricted units issued to the Parent Company’s executives and other employees under the Parent Company’s shareholder-approved long-term incentive plan.

Common Partnership Units and Preferred Mirror Units

The Operating Partnership issues partnership units to the Parent Company in exchange for the contribution of the net proceeds of any equity security issuance by the Parent Company. The number and terms of such partnership units correspond to the number and terms of the related equity securities issued by the Parent Company. In addition, the Operating Partnership may also issue separate classes of partnership units. Historically, the Operating Partnership has had the following types of partnership units outstanding: (i) Preferred Partnership Units which have been issued to parties other than the Parent Company; (ii) Preferred Mirror Partnership Units which have been issued to the Parent Company; and (iii) Common Partnership Units which include both interests held by the Parent Company and those held by other limited partners.

F- 55

Preferred Mirror Partnership Units

In exchange for the proceeds received in corresponding offerings by the Parent Company of preferred units of beneficial interest, the Operating Partnership has issued to the Parent Company a corresponding amount of Preferred Mirror Partnership Units with terms consistent with that of the preferred securities issued by the Parent Company.

Common Partnership Units (Redeemable and General)

The Operating Partnership has two classes of Common Partnership Units: (i) Class A Limited Partnership Interest which are held by both the Parent Company and outside third parties and (ii) General Partnership Interests which are held by the Parent Company (collectively, the Class A Limited Partnership Interest, and General Partnership Interests are referred to as “Common Partnership Units”). The holders of the Common Partnership Units are entitled to share in cash distributions from, and in profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership, in proportion to their respective percentage interests, subject to preferential distributions on the preferred mirror units and the preferred units.

The Common Partnership Units held by the Parent Company (comprised of both General Partnership Units and Class A Limited Partnership Units) are presented as partner’s equity in the consolidated financial statements. Class A Limited Partnership Interest held by parties other than the Parent Company are redeemable at the option of the holder for a like number of common shares of the Parent Company, or cash, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Parent Company. Because the form of settlement of these redemption rights are not within the control of the Operating Partnership, these Common Partnership Units have been excluded from partner’s equity and are presented as redeemable limited partnership units measured at the potential cash redemption value as of the end of the periods presented based on the closing market price of the Parent Company’s common shares at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, which was $16.51, $13.66, $15.98, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, 1,479,799 of Class A Units were outstanding and owned by outside limited partners of the Operating Partnership.  As of both December 31, 2015 and 2014, 1,535,102 of Class A Units were outstanding and owned by outside limited partners of the Operating Partnership.

On December 6, 2016, the Operating Partnership declared a distribution of $0.16 per common unit, totaling $28.1 million, which was paid on January 25, 2017 to unitholders of record as of January 11, 2017.  On December 6, 2016, the Operating Partnership declared distributions on its Series E Preferred Units to holders of record as of December 30, 2016. These units are entitled to a preferential return of 6.90% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. Distributions paid on January 17, 2017 to holders of Series E Preferred Shares totaled $1.7 million.

Common Unit Repurchases

In connection with the Parent Company’s repurchase program, one mirror unit is retired for each common share repurchased. The Board of Trustees has authorized the Parent Company to repurchase common units with no expiration date. On July 22, 2015, the Parent Company's Board of Trustees authorized additional common unit repurchases of up to $100.0 million. Prior to the authorization, 539,200 common units were available for repurchase under the preexisting unit repurchase program. The Company expects to fund the unit repurchases with a combination of available cash balances and availability under its unsecured revolving credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2016, there were no unit repurchases under the program.  During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased and retired 5,209,437 common units at an average purchase price of $12.90 per unit and totaling $67.3 million. All of the repurchases under the current common unit repurchase program occurred during 2015. The timing and amounts of any purchases will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, unit prices, capital availability and other factors as determined by the Company’s management team. The repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of units and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

The common shares repurchased were retired and, as a result, were accounted for in accordance with Maryland law, which does not contemplate treasury stock. The repurchases were recorded as a reduction of common shares (at $0.01 par value per share) and a decrease to additional paid-in-capital.

401(k) Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan for its employees. Each employee may contribute up to 100% of annual compensation, subject to specific limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. At its discretion, the Company can make matching contributions equal to a percentage of the employee’s elective contribution and profit sharing contributions. The Company funds its 401(k) contributions annually and plan participants must be employed as of December 31^st in order to receive contributions, except for employees eligible for qualifying retirement, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code. Prior to 2016, employer contributions automatically vested in employer contributions.  The Company contributions were $0.4 million in each of 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Restricted Share Awards

As of December 31, 2016, 488,604 restricted shares were outstanding under the Equity Incentive Plan and vest over three years from the initial grant dates. The remaining compensation expense to be recognized at December 31, 2016 was approximately $2.1 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.4 years. During 2016, the Company recognized compensation expense related to outstanding restricted shares of $2.6 million, of which $0.4 million was capitalized as part of the Company’s review of employee salaries eligible for capitalization. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $2.4 million (of which $0.7 million was capitalized) and $2.7 million (of which $0.6 million was capitalized), respectively, of compensation expense included in general and administrative expense in the respective periods related to outstanding restricted shares.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted share activity during the year-ended December 31, 2016:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Non-vested at January 1, 2016		506,147		$	14.50	$	6,913,968
Granted		227,845			12.92		2,937,771
Vested		(195,140	)		13.50		2,813,799
Forfeited		(50,248	)		15.03
Non-vested at December 31, 2016		488,604		$	14.10	$	8,066,852

On February 22, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees awarded to officers of the Company an aggregate 141,358 restricted common shares, which cliff vest on April 15, 2019. On March 8, 2016, the Compensation Committee awarded non-officer employees an aggregate 54,168 restricted common shares, which vest in three equal annual installments on April 15 of 2017, 2018 and 2019. In addition, on May 24, 2016, the Compensation Committee awarded 32,319 restricted shares which vest ratably over three years from the date of grant. Vesting of restricted common shares is subject to acceleration upon certain events, including if the recipient of the award were to die, become disabled or, in certain cases, retire in a qualifying retirement. Qualifying retirement generally means the recipient’s voluntary termination of employment after reaching at least age 57 and accumulating at least 15 years of service with the Company. In addition, in the case of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, vesting would also accelerate if the Company were to terminate him without cause, or if he were to resign for good reason under his employment agreement. In addition, if the Company were to undergo a change of control, then unvested shares would also accelerate if, in connection with the change of control or within a specified period after the change of control, the holder’s employment were to terminate in a qualifying termination or resignation. In accordance with the accounting standard for share-based compensation, the Company amortizes share-based compensation costs through the qualifying retirement dates for those executives who meet the conditions for qualifying retirement during the scheduled vesting period and whose award agreements provide for vesting upon a qualifying retirement.

Restricted Performance Share Units Plan

The Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees has granted performance share-based awards (referred to as Restricted Performance Share Units, or RPSUs) to officers of the Parent Company.  The RPSUs are settled in common shares, with the number of common shares issuable in settlement determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return over specified measurement periods compared to total shareholder returns of comparative groups over the measurement periods.  The table below presents certain information as to unvested RPSU awards.

	RPSU Grant
	3/11/2014			3/12/2014		2/23/2015			2/22/2016		Total
(Amounts below in shares, unless otherwise noted)

Units Granted		134,284			61,720		186,395			231,388
Fair Value of Units on Grant Date (in thousands)	$	2,624		$	1,255	$	3,933		$	3,558

The Company values each RPSU on its grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair values of each award are being amortized over the three year cliff vesting period. The vesting of RPSUs is subject to acceleration upon a change in control or if the recipient of the award were to die, become disabled or retire in a qualifying retirement prior to the vesting date. In accordance with the accounting standard for share-based compensation, the Company amortizes stock-based compensation costs through the qualifying retirement date for those executives who meet the conditions for qualifying retirement during the schedule vesting period.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized total compensation expense for the 2016, 2015 and 2014 RPSU awards of $2.8 million, of which $0.6 million was capitalized consistent with the Company’s policies for capitalizing eligible portions of employee compensation.  For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized total compensation expense for the 2015, 2014 and 2013 RPSU awards of $4.2 million, of which $1.2 million was capitalized consistent with the Company’s policies for capitalizing eligible portions of employee compensation.  For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized total compensation expense for the 2014, 2013 and 2012 RPSU awards of $3.2 million, of which $1.1 million was capitalized consistent with the Company’s policies for capitalizing eligible portions of employee compensation.

The remaining compensation expense to be recognized at December 31, 2016 was approximately $1.5 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.2 years.

The Company issued 156,415 common shares on February 1, 2016 in settlement of RPSUs that had been awarded on February 23, 2013 (with a three-year measurement period ended December 31, 2015). Holders of these RPSUs also received a cash dividend of $0.15 per share for these common shares on February 5, 2016.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

The Parent Company’s shareholders approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which is intended to provide eligible employees with a convenient means to purchase common shares of the Parent Company through payroll deductions and voluntary cash purchases at an amount equal to 85% of the average closing price per share for a specified period. Under the plan document, the maximum participant contribution for the 2016 plan year is limited to the lesser of 20% of compensation or $50,000. The ESPP allows the Parent Company to make open market purchases, which reflects all purchases made under the plan to date. In addition, the number of shares separately reserved for issuance under the ESPP is 1.25 million. During the year ended December 31, 2016, employees made purchases under the ESPP of $0.4 million and the Company recognized $0.2 million of compensation expense related to the ESPP. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, employees made purchases under the ESPP of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and the Company recognized $0.1 million of compensation expense related to the ESPP for both years. Compensation expense represents the 15% discount on the purchase price. The Board of Trustees of the Parent Company may terminate the ESPP at its sole discretion at any time.

Deferred Compensation

In January 2005, the Parent Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) that allows trustees and certain key employees to voluntarily defer compensation. Compensation expense is recorded for the deferred compensation and a related liability

F- 58

is recognized. Participants may elect designated benchmark investment options for the notional investment of their deferred compensation. The deferred compensation obligation is adjusted for deemed income or loss related to the investments selected. At the time the participants defer compensation, the Company records a liability, which is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The liability is adjusted for changes in the market value of the participant-selected investments at the end of each accounting period, and the impact of adjusting the liability is recorded as an increase or decrease to compensation cost.

The Company has purchased mutual funds which can be utilized as a funding source for the Company’s obligations under the Plan. Participants in the Plan have no interest in any assets set aside by the Company to meet its obligations under the Plan. For each of the years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a nominal amount of deferred compensation costs, net of investments in the company-owned policies and mutual funds.  

Participants in the Plan may elect to have all or a portion of their deferred compensation invested in the Company’s common shares. The Company holds these shares in a rabbi trust, which is subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency. The Plan does not permit diversification of a participant’s deferral allocated to the Company common shares and deferrals allocated to Company common shares can only be settled with a fixed number of shares. In accordance with the accounting standard for deferred compensation arrangements where amounts earned are held in a rabbi trust and invested, the deferred compensation obligation associated with the Company’s common shares is classified as a component of shareholder’s equity and the related shares are treated as shares to be issued and are included in total shares outstanding. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, 0.8 million and 0.7 million of such shares, respectively, were included in total shares outstanding. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the common shares are not reflected in operations or shareholders’ equity of the Company.

16. TAX CREDIT TRANSACTIONS

Historic Tax Credit Transaction

On November 17, 2008, the Company closed a transaction with US Bancorp (“USB”) related to the historic rehabilitation of the IRS Philadelphia Campus, a 862,692 square foot office building that is 100% leased to the IRS. On August 27, 2010, the Company completed the development of the IRS Philadelphia Campus and the IRS lease commenced.  In connection with this completed development project, USB contributed to the Company $64.1 million of total project costs.

In exchange for its contributions to the development of the IRS Philadelphia Campus, USB was entitled to substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax rehabilitation credits available under section 47 of the Internal Revenue Code. USB did not have a material interest in the underlying economics of the property. This transaction included a put/call provision whereby the Company was obligated or entitled to repurchase USB’s interest in the IRS Philadelphia Campus. The put option was exercised on September 30, 2015 and USB's interest in the IRS Philadelphia Campus was assigned to the Company. A purchase price of $3.2 million was attributed to that puttable non-controlling interest obligation, which was funded with available corporate funds. Upon exercise of the put option, the Company funded USB's final 2% preferred return of $1.0 million.

Based on the contractual arrangements that obligated the Company to deliver tax benefits and provide other guarantees to USB and that entitled the Company through fee arrangements to receive substantially all available cash flow from the IRS Philadelphia Campus, the Company concluded that the IRS Philadelphia Campus should be consolidated. The Company also concluded that capital

F- 59

contributions received from USB, in substance, were consideration that the Company received in exchange for its obligation to deliver tax credits and other tax benefits to USB. These receipts other than the amounts allocated to the put obligation were recognized as revenue in the consolidated financial statements beginning when the obligation to USB was relieved which occurred upon delivery of the expected tax benefits net of any associated costs. The tax credit is subject to 20% recapture per year beginning one year after the completion of the IRS Philadelphia Campus. Beginning September 2011 to September 2015, the Company recognized the cash received as revenue net of allocated expenses over the five year credit recapture period as defined in the Internal Revenue Code within other income (expense) in its consolidated statement of operations. The fifth and final recapture period ended September 30, 2015 and the Company recognized $11.9 million of cash received as revenue, net of $0.5 million of allocated expenses within other income (expense) it its consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no USB contributions presented in the Company’s balance sheet

Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the transaction were deferred and were recognized as expense in the consolidated financial statements upon the recognition of the related revenue as discussed above. There were no deferred costs at December 31, 2016 and 2015.  Amounts included in interest expense related to the accretion of the non-controlling interest liability and the 2% return expected to be paid to USB on its non-controlling interest aggregates to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. There was no interest accretion for the year ended December 31, 2016.

New Markets Tax Credit Transaction

On December 30, 2008, the Company entered into a transaction with USB related to the Cira South Garage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and received a net benefit of $8.0 million under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit Program (“NMTC”). The NMTC was provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the “Act”) and is intended to induce investment capital in under-served and impoverished areas of the United States. The Act permits taxpayers (whether companies or individuals) to claim credits against their Federal income taxes for up to 39% of qualified investments in qualified, active low-income businesses or ventures.

USB contributed $13.3 million into the development of the Cira South Garage and as such it is entitled to substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax credit, but it does not have a material interest in the underlying economics of the Cira South Garage. This transaction also includes a put/call provision whereby the Company may be obligated or entitled to repurchase USB’s interest. The Company believes the put will be exercised and an amount attributed to that obligation is included in other liabilities and is being accreted to the expected fixed put price. The said put price is insignificant.

Based on the contractual arrangements that obligate the Company to deliver tax benefits and provide various other guarantees to USB, the Company concluded that the investment entities established to facilitate the NMTC transaction should be consolidated. There were no USB contributions presented in the Company's balance sheet at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The contributions were recorded net of direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the transaction are deferred and will be recognized as expense in the consolidated financial statements upon the recognition of the related revenue as discussed above. There were no deferred costs included within other assets on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The USB contribution other than the amount allocated to the put obligation was recognized as income in the consolidated financial statements when the tax benefits were delivered on December 30, 2015 without risk of recapture to the tax credit investors and the Company’s obligation is relieved. The NMTC is subject to 100% recapture for a period of seven years from the date that construction of the Cira South Garage commenced as provided in the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company recognized the $8.1 million of net cash received as revenue within tax credit transaction income in the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company expects that the put/call provision will be exercised in 2017.

The current balance held in AOCI is expected to be reclassified to interest expense for realized losses on forecasted debt transactions over the related term of the debt obligation, as applicable.  The Company expects to reclassify $1.2 million from AOCI into interest expense within the next twelve months.

18. SEGMENT INFORMATION

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company managed its portfolio within seven segments: (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia Central Business District (CBD), (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C., (4) New Jersey/Delaware, (5) Richmond, Virginia, (6) Austin, Texas and (7) California. As a result of the Och-Ziff Sale that occurred on February 4, 2016, the Company has narrowed its segments to five segments located in: (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia Central Business District (“CBD”), (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and (4) Austin, Texas. The Och-Ziff Sale disposed of the entire Richmond, Virginia segment. Subsequent to the Och-Ziff Sale, the segments previously defined as New Jersey/Delaware and California are now being managed as a

F- 61

consolidated segment entitled (5) “Other,” as these geographies no longer provide a significant revenue contribution. The Pennsylvania Suburbs segment includes properties in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties in the Philadelphia suburbs. The Philadelphia CBD segment includes properties located in the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment includes properties in the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia and southern Maryland. The Austin, Texas segment includes properties in the City of Austin, Texas. The corporate group is responsible for cash and investment management, development of certain real estate properties during the construction period, and certain other general support functions.

(a) As a result of the Och-Ziff Sale that occurred on February 4, 2016, the Company narrowed its segments to five segments: (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia Central Business District (“CBD”), (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and (4) Austin, Texas and (5) Other. The Och-Ziff Sale disposed of the entire Richmond, Virginia segment. Subsequent to the Och-Ziff Sale, the segments previously defined as New Jersey/Delaware and California are now being managed as a consolidated segment entitled “Other,” as these geographies no longer provide a significant revenue contribution. Accordingly, the chief operating decision maker revised the management structure, reallocated resources, and is assessing business operations of the five segments as of January 1, 2016.

(b) As of December 31, 2015, 2970 Market Street was classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. The property was sold on February 5, 2016. See Note 21, "Subsequent Events," for further information. The sale is not classified as a significant disposition under the accounting guidance for discontinued operations.

On February 4, 2016, the Company completed a series of transactions, resulting in the disposition of the properties. See Note 3, “Real Estate Investments,” for further information regarding the disposition. Additionally, as of December 31, 2016, the Company categorized three office properties located in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment and two properties in the Other segment as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets.

(a) On August 31, 2016, the Company terminated its lease for the regional management and leasing office at 3141 Fairview Park Drive, located in Falls Church, Virginia. Accordingly, the Company no longer has any continuing involvement with 3141 Fairview Park Drive and recorded the partial sale under the full accrual method of accounting. See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information.

(b) The MAP Venture represents a joint venture formed between the Company and MAP Ground Lease Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group, LLC, on February 4, 2016. See Note 4 “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information. The MAP Venture’s business operations, including properties in Richmond, Virginia; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; New Jersey/Delaware and Pennsylvania Suburbs, are centrally managed with the results reported to management of the Company on a consolidated basis. As a result, the investment in the MAP Venture is separately presented. All other unconsolidated real estate ventures are managed consistently with the Company’s regional segments.

(c) See footnote (a) to the “Real estate investments, at cost” table above for further information regarding this segment.

(d) Investment in real estate ventures does not include the $1.1 million negative investment balance in one real estate venture as of December 31, 2015, which is included in other liabilities. The Company disposed of its interest in this venture during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information. The decrease to the Company’s investment balance primarily relates to distributions from the G&I VII Austin Office LLC real estate venture.

Net operating income (“NOI”) is defined as total revenue less property operating expenses, real estate taxes and third party management expenses. Segment NOI includes revenue, real estate taxes and property operating expenses directly related to operation and management of the properties owned and managed within the respective geographical region. Segment NOI excludes property level depreciation and amortization, revenue and expenses directly associated with third party real estate management and development services, expenses associated with corporate administrative support services, and inter-company eliminations. NOI also

F- 63

does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expenses, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and capitalized leasing costs.  Trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact the Company’s results from operations are also not reflected in NOI. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. NOI is the measure that is used by the Company to evaluate the operating performance of its real estate assets by segment. The Company also believes that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding its financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expenses recorded at the property level, as well as the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unlevered basis.  The Company believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is an appropriate earnings measure. The following is a reconciliation of consolidated NOI to consolidated net income (loss), as defined by GAAP:

F- 64

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties. Given the nature of the Company’s business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system. The Company will establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and when the amount of loss is reasonably estimable.  The Company does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Letters-of-Credit

Under certain mortgages, the Company has funded required leasing and capital reserve accounts for the benefit of the mortgage lenders with letters-of-credit.  There is an associated $10.0 million letter of credit for a mortgage lender at each of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Certain of the tenant rents at properties that secure these mortgage loans are deposited into the loan servicer’s depository accounts, which are used to fund debt service, operating expenses, capital expenditures and the escrow and reserve accounts, as necessary. Any excess cash is included in cash and cash equivalents.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments. The Company’s compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and the Company does not believe it will have a material adverse effect in the future. However, the Company cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its current Properties or on properties that the Company may acquire.

Ground Rent

Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancellable ground leases under which the Company is the lessee are expensed on a straight-line basis regardless of when payments are due. The Company’s ground leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 4 to 72 years. Minimum future rental payments on non-cancelable leases at December 31, 2016 are as follows (in thousands):

Year	Minimum Rent
2017	$	1,339
2018		1,339
2019		1,339
2020		1,339
2021		1,339
Thereafter		66,231
Total	$	72,926

The Company obtained ground tenancy rights related to three properties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which provide for contingent rent participation by the lessor in certain capital transactions and net operating cash flows of the properties after certain returns are achieved by the Company. Such amounts, if any, will be reflected as contingent rent when incurred. The leases also provide for payment by the Company of certain operating costs relating to the land, primarily real estate taxes. The above schedule of future minimum rental payments does not include any contingent rent amounts or any reimbursed expenses.

F- 65

Put Agreement

On May 4, 2015, the Company entered into a put agreement in the ordinary course of business that grants an unaffiliated third party the unilateral option to require the Company to purchase a property, at a predetermined price, until May 4, 2018. In addition to the $35.0 million purchase price, the Company would be responsible for transaction and closing costs. There can be no assurance that the counterparty will exercise the option.

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

On April 2, 2015, the Company purchased 618 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The allocated purchase price included contingent consideration of $2.0 million payable to the seller upon commencement of development. The liability was recorded at a fair value of $1.6 million and will accrete through interest expense to $2.0 million over the expected period until development is commenced. The fair value of this contingent consideration was determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The significant inputs to the discounted cash flow model were the discount rate and weighted probability scenarios. As the inputs are unobservable, the Company determined the inputs used to value this liability fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting. As of December 31, 2016, the liability had accreted to $1.7 million. As there were no significant changes to the inputs, the liability remains within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

Debt Guarantees

As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures had aggregate indebtedness to third parties of $997.5 million.  These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to the Company.  In addition, in certain instances, the Company provides non-recourse carve-out guarantees on these non-recourse loans. As of December 31, 2016, the loans for which there is recourse to the Company consists of the following: (i) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the $56.0 million construction loan for TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; (ii) a several cost overrun guaranty on the $88.9 million construction loan for the development project being undertaken by 1919 Market Street LP; and (iii) a $0.4 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," in the notes to the financial statements for more information. On January 31, 2017, the Company sold its 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” in the notes to the financial statements for further information.

Other Commitments or Contingencies

On July 1, 2016, the Company closed on the acquisition of 34.6 acres of land located in Austin, Texas known as the Garza Ranch. The Company is currently under agreement to sell 9.5 acres (of the 34.6 acres) to two unaffiliated third parties.  In connection with the agreements of sale, the Company entered into a development agreement and related completion guarantee to construct certain infrastructure improvements to the land on behalf of each buyer, estimated to cost $10.3 million. Total estimated costs related to the improvements are included in the sale price of each land parcel. Recognition of the profit earned upon sale of the land parcels is deferred until the improvements are completed. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” in the notes to the financial statements for additional information relating to the sale of the 1.7 acres of land at Garza Ranch.

On December 3, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement as development manager to construct Subaru of America’s (“Subaru”) corporate headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. The agreement provides the Company with the ability to earn additional profit if total project costs are less than the not-to-exceed (“NTE”) amount.  The NTE amount, currently at $78.1 million, may be adjusted by change orders agreed upon by both Subaru and the Company.  If construction costs are in excess of the NTE amount, the Company is obligated to pay such cost overruns. The terms of the guarantee do not provide a limitation on the costs the Company may be responsible for. As of December 31, 2016, the Company does not expect to incur costs in excess of the NTE amount.

Also on December 3, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to construct an 83,000 square foot build-to-suit service center(the “Subaru NSTC Development”)on land parcels owned by the Company for Subaru of America as the single tenant. On such date, Subaru of America entered into an 18-year lease for the service center.The lease contains a purchase option, which allows Subaru to purchase the property at commencement of the lease, or five years subsequent to inception, at depreciated cost.The Company currently expects to deliver the building during thesecond quarterof 2018. At December 31, 2016, $10.5 million of the project costs, totaling $29.3 million, had been funded.

As part of the Company’s September 2004 acquisition of a portfolio of properties from The Rubenstein Company (which the Company refers to as the “TRC acquisition”), the Company acquired its interest in Two Logan Square, a 708,844 square foot office building in Philadelphia, primarily through its ownership of a second and third mortgage secured by this property. This property is consolidated, as the borrower is a variable interest entity and the Company, through its ownership of the second and third mortgages, is the primary beneficiary. The Company currently does not expect to take title to Two Logan Square until, at the earliest, January 2020. If the Company takes fee title to Two Logan Square upon a foreclosure of its mortgage, the Company has agreed to pay an unaffiliated third party that holds a residual interest in the fee owner of this property an amount equal to $2.9 million. On the TRC

F- 66

acquisition date, the Company recorded a liability of $0.7 million and this amount will accrete up to $2.9 million through January 2020. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a balance of $2.2 million for this liability in its consolidated balance sheet.

As part of the Company’s 2006 merger with Prentiss Properties Trust (“Prentiss”), the 2004 TRC acquisition and several of our other transactions, the Company agreed not to sell certain of the properties it acquired in transactions that would trigger taxable income to the former owners. In the case of the TRC acquisition, the Company agreed not to sell acquired properties in non-exempt transactions for periods up to 15 years from the date of the TRC acquisition as follows at December 31, 2016: One Logan Square, Two Logan Square and Radnor Corporate Center (January, 2020). In the Prentiss acquisition, the Company assumed the obligation of Prentiss not to sell Concord Airport Plaza before March, 2018. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” for further information regarding the like-kind exchange under Section 1031. The Company’s agreements generally provide that it may dispose of the subject properties only in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or in other tax deferred transactions. If the Company were to sell a restricted property before expiration of the restricted period in a non-exempt transaction, the Company may be required to make significant payments to the parties who sold the applicable property on account of tax liabilities attributed to them. Similarly, as part of the 2013 acquisition of substantially all of the equity interests in the partnerships that own One and Two Commerce Square, the Company agreed, for the benefit of affiliates of the holder of the 1% residual ownership interest in these properties, to not sell these two properties in certain taxable transactions prior to October 20, 2021 without the holder’s consent.

As part of the Company’s acquisition of properties from time to time in tax-deferred transactions, the Company has agreed to provide certain of the prior owners of the acquired properties with the right to guarantee the Company’s indebtedness. If the Company were to seek to repay the indebtedness guaranteed by the prior owner before the expiration of the applicable agreement, the Company would be required to provide the prior owner an opportunity to guaranty qualifying replacement debt. These debt maintenance agreements may limit the Company’s ability to refinance indebtedness on terms favorable to the Company. As part of our 2013 acquisition of substantially all of the equity interests in the partnerships that own One and Two Commerce Square, the Company agreed, for the benefit of affiliates of the holder of the 1% residual ownership interest in these properties, to maintain qualifying mortgage debt through October 20, 2021, in the amounts of not less than $125.0 million on One Commerce Square and $100.0 million on Two Commerce Square.  Similarly, the Company has agreements in place with other contributors of assets that obligate it to maintain debt available for them to guaranty.

The Company invests in its properties and regularly incurs capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business to maintain the properties. The Company believes that such expenditures enhance its competitiveness. The Company also enters into construction, utility and service contracts in the ordinary course of business which may extend beyond one year. These contracts typically provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Concord Airport Plaza Sale

On February 2, 2017, the Company completed the disposition of two office properties located at 1200 and 1220 Concord Avenue, in Concord, California, containing 350,256 net rentable square feet, for a gross sales price of $33.1 million.  As the properties were impaired to fair value during the fourth quarter of 2016, there is an estimated gain of $0.5 million on sale.

The sale is designated as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and, as such, the proceeds, totaling $32.0 million after closing costs and prorations, were delivered to a Qualified Intermediary, as defined under the IRC.

The Parc at Plymouth Meeting Venture Sale

On January 31, 2017, the Company sold its 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P., a 50/50 real estate venture with Toll Brothers, at a gross sales value of $100.5 million.  The venture developed and operates a 398-unit multi-family complex in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania encumbered by a $54.0 million construction loan. The construction loan was repaid commensurate with the sale of the Company’s 50% interest. As a result, the Company is no longer subject to a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the construction loan. The cash proceeds, after the payment of the Company’s share of the debt and closing costs, was $27.2 million.  As the carrying amount of the Company’s investment at the time of sale is $23.3 million, the estimated gain is $14.6 million.

Garza Land Sale

On January 30, 2017, the Company disposed of 1.7 acres of land located in Austin, Texas, known as the Garza Ranch, for a sales price of $3.5 million. The land did not meet the criteria to be classified as a sale as of December 31, 2016. The Company has a continuing involvement through a completion guaranty, which requires the Company as developer to complete certain infrastructure improvements on behalf of the buyers of the land parcels. The cash received at settlement was recorded as “deferred income, gains and rent” on the Company’s balance sheet and the Company will recognize the sale once the infrastructure improvements are complete.

F- 67

At-the-Market Offering

On January 10, 2017, the Company entered into a continuous offering program, under which it may sell up to an aggregate of 16,000,000 common shares until January 10, 2020 in at the market offerings. This program is a replacement of a prior continuous offering program that expired on November 3, 2016. The Company did not sell any shares under the prior program during 2016 and has not sold any shares under the new program through the date of this report.

(d) On January 14 2016, the Company funded $44.4 million, consisting of $35.5 million of principal repayment, $8.9 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness.

(e) At acquisition it was determined that the useful life of the parking structure is five years, which reflects the expected demolition date.

(f) Properties were held for sale at December 31, 2016.

(g) In connection with the held for sale determination the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million as of December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying value of these properties from $13.3 million to the sales price less estimated closing costs of $10.3 million in connection with the anticipated dispositions. The impairment was allocated between land and building. For further information, see Note 3, “Real Estate Investments.”

(h) The Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of these properties, and determined that due to the shortening of the expected hold periods of ownership, it was necessary to reduce the carrying value to estimated fair value.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $7.3 million as of December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying value of these properties from $25.8 million to their estimated fair value of $18.5 million.  For further information see Note 3, “Real Estate Investments.”

(i) In connection with the held for sale determination, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $11.5 million as of December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying value of these properties from $43.5 million to the sales price, less estimated closing costs, of $32.0 million in connection with the anticipated dispositions. The impairment was allocated between land and building. For further information, see Note 3, “Real Estate Investments.”

Exhibit 99.1

MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of Brandywine Realty Trust’s (“Brandywine”) common shares, preferred shares and debt securities and debt securities of the Operating Partnership, and the qualification and taxation of Brandywine as a REIT.

Because this is a summary that is intended to address only material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of Brandywine’s common shares, preferred shares or debt securities and debt securities of the Operating Partnership that will apply to all holders, this summary may not contain all the information that may be important to you. As you review this discussion, you should keep in mind that:

• the tax consequences to you may vary depending on your particular tax situation;

• special rules that are not discussed below may apply to you if, for example, you are a tax-exempt organization, a broker-dealer, a non-U.S. person, a trust, an estate, a regulated investment company, a REIT, a financial institution, an insurance company, a holder of debt securities or shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity, an entity treated as a U.S. corporation by virtue of the inversion rules, or otherwise subject to special tax treatment under the Code;

• this summary does not address state, local or non-U.S. tax considerations;

• this summary deals only with our shareholders and debt holders that hold common shares, preferred shares or debt securities as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code;

• tax rules are subject to change, potentially with retroactive effect; and

• this discussion is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice.

You are urged both to review the following discussion and to consult with your own tax advisor to determine the effect of ownership and disposition of our common shares, preferred shares or debt securities and debt securities of the Operating Partnership on your individual tax situation, including any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

The information in this summary is based on the Code, current, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, the legislative history of the Code, current administrative interpretations and practices of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), including its practices and policies as endorsed in private letter rulings, which are not binding on the IRS, and existing court decisions. Future legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations and court decisions could change current law or adversely affect existing interpretations of current law. Any change could apply retroactively. We have not obtained any rulings from the IRS concerning the status of Brandywine as a REIT or of the Operating Partnership as a partnership. Therefore, it is possible that the IRS could challenge the statements in this summary, which do not bind the IRS or the courts, and that a court could agree with the IRS.

Taxation of the Company

Qualification of Brandywine as a REIT

Brandywine first elected to be taxed as a REIT for the taxable year ended December 31, 1986. A REIT generally is not subject to federal income tax on the income that it distributes to its shareholders if it meets the applicable REIT distribution requirements and other requirements for qualification.

We believe that we are organized and have operated in such a manner so as to qualify as a REIT, but there can be no assurance that we have qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT.

Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, through actual operating results, distribution levels, and diversity of stock ownership, various qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Code. Our ability to qualify as a REIT also requires that we satisfy certain asset tests, some of which depend upon the fair market values of assets directly or indirectly owned by us. Such values may not be susceptible to a precise determination. While we intend to continue to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operations for any taxable year will satisfy such requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT.

Taxation of Brandywine as a REIT

If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on that portion of our ordinary income or capital gain that we distribute currently to our shareholders, because the REIT provisions of the Code generally allow a REIT a deduction for distributions paid to its shareholders. This deduction substantially eliminates the “double taxation” on

Exhibit 99.1

earnings (taxation at both the corporate level and shareholder level) that generally results from investment in a corporation. However, even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax as follows:

• We will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed REIT taxable income, including undistributed net capital gains;

• Under certain circumstances, we may be subject to the “alternative minimum tax” on our items of tax preference, if any;

• If we have net income from prohibited transactions (which are, in general, certain sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business) such income will be subject to a 100% tax (See “—Sale of Partnership Property)”;

• If we elect to treat property that we acquire in connection with a foreclosure of a mortgage loan or leasehold as “foreclosure property,” we may thereby avoid the 100% tax on gain from a resale of that property (if the sale would otherwise constitute a prohibited transaction), but the income from the sale or operation of the property (and any other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property) may be subject to corporate income tax at the highest applicable rate (currently 35%);

• If we should fail to satisfy the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test (each as discussed below), and nonetheless have maintained our qualification as a REIT because certain other requirements have been met, we will be subject to a 100% tax on the net income attributable to the greater of the amount by which we fail the 75% or 95% test, multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect our profitability;

• If we fail to satisfy any of the REIT asset tests, as discussed below, by more than a de minimis amount, but our failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful negligence and we nonetheless maintain our REIT qualification because of specified cure provisions, we will be required to pay a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or the highest applicable rate for corporate taxpayers (currently 35%) of the net income generated by the non-qualifying assets during the period in which we failed to satisfy the asset tests;

• If we fail to satisfy any provision of the Code that would result in our failure to qualify as a REIT (other than a gross income or asset test requirement) and that violation is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful negligence, we may retain our REIT qualification, but we will be required to pay a penalty of $50,000 for each such failure;

• We may be required to pay monetary penalties to the IRS in certain circumstances, including if we fail to meet record-keeping requirements intended to monitor our compliance with rules relating to the composition of our shareholders, as described below in “—Requirements for Qualification as a REIT”;

• If we should fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (a) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for such year, (b) 95% of our REIT capital gain net income for such year and (c) any undistributed taxable income from prior years, we would be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the sum of (i) the amounts actually distributed plus (ii) retained amounts on which corporate level tax is paid by us;

• We may elect to retain and pay income tax on our net long-term capital gain, and in that case, a shareholder would include its proportionate share of our undistributed long-term capital gain in its income and would be allowed a credit for its proportionate share of the tax we paid;

• A 100% excise tax may be imposed on some items of income and expense that are directly or constructively paid between us, our tenants and/or our taxable REIT subsidiaries if and to the extent that the Internal Revenue Service successfully adjusts the reported amounts of these items;

• If we acquire appreciated assets from a C corporation (a corporation generally subject to corporate level tax) in a transaction in which the adjusted tax basis of the assets in our hands is determined by reference to the adjusted tax basis of the assets in the hands of the C corporation, we may be subject to tax on such appreciation at the highest corporate income tax rate then applicable if we subsequently recognize gain on a disposition of such assets during the ten-year period following their acquisition from the C corporation, unless the C corporation elects to treat the assets as if they were sold for their fair market value at the time of our acquisition; and

• Income earned by any of our taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates.

Requirements for Qualification as a REIT

We elected to be taxable as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ended December 31, 1986. In order to have so qualified, we must have met and continue to meet the requirements discussed below, relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets and distributions of income to shareholders.

The Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association:

1.that is managed by one or more trustees or directors;

2.the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable shares or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest;

Exhibit 99.1

3.that would be taxable as a domestic corporation but for the special Code provisions applicable to REITs;

4.that is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company subject to certain provisions of the Code;

5.the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons;

6.in which, during the last half of each taxable year, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include specified entities), after applying certain attribution rules;

7.that makes an election to be taxable as a REIT, or has made this election for a previous taxable year which has not been revoked or terminated, and satisfies all relevant filing and other administrative requirements established by the IRS that must be met to elect and maintain REIT status;

8.that uses a calendar year for federal income tax purposes and complies with the record keeping requirements of the Code and the Treasury Regulations; and

9.that meets other applicable tests, described below, regarding the nature of its income and assets and the amount of its distributions.

Conditions (1) through (4) must be satisfied during the entire taxable year, and condition (5) must be satisfied during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12 months.

We have previously issued common shares in sufficient proportions to allow us to satisfy requirements (5) and (6) (the “100 Shareholder” and “five-or-fewer” requirements). In addition, our Declaration of Trust provides restrictions regarding the transfer of our shares that are intended to assist us in continuing to satisfy the requirements described in conditions (5) and (6) above. However, these restrictions may not ensure that we will, in all cases, be able to satisfy the requirements described in conditions (5) and (6) above. In addition, we have not obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to whether the provisions of our Declaration of Trust concerning restrictions on transfer and conversion of common shares to “Excess Shares” will allow us to satisfy conditions (5) and (6). If we fail to satisfy such share ownership requirements, our status as a REIT will terminate. However, if the failure to meet the share ownership requirements is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, we may avoid termination of our REIT status by paying a penalty of $50,000.

To monitor compliance with the share ownership requirements, we are required to maintain records regarding the actual ownership of our shares. To do so, we must demand written statements each year from the record holders of certain percentages of our shares in which the record holders are to disclose the actual owners of the shares (the persons required to include in gross income the dividends paid by us). A list of those persons failing or refusing to comply with this demand must be maintained as part of our records. Failure by us to comply with these record-keeping requirements could subject us to monetary penalties. If we satisfy these requirements and have no reason to know that condition (6) is not satisfied, we will be deemed to have satisfied such condition. A shareholder that fails or refuses to comply with the demand is required by Treasury Regulations to submit a statement with its tax return disclosing the actual ownership of the shares and other information.

Qualified REIT Subsidiaries

The Code provides that a corporation that is a “qualified REIT subsidiary” shall not be treated as a separate corporation, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of a “qualified REIT subsidiary” shall be treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of the REIT. A “qualified REIT subsidiary” is a corporation, all of the capital stock of which is owned by the REIT, that has not elected to be a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (discussed below). In applying the requirements described herein, all of our “qualified REIT subsidiaries” will be ignored, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of such subsidiaries will be treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit. These subsidiaries, therefore, will not be subject to federal corporate income taxation, although they may be subject to state and local taxation.

In the event that a qualified REIT subsidiary or another entity that is a disregarded subsidiary for U.S. federal income tax purposes ceases to be wholly owned by us (for example, if any equity interest in the subsidiary is acquired by a person other than us or another disregarded subsidiary of us), the subsidiary’s separate existence would no longer be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Instead, it would have multiple owners and would be treated as either a partnership or a taxable corporation. Such an event could, depending on the circumstances, adversely affect our ability to satisfy the various asset and gross income tests applicable to REITs, including the requirement that REITs generally may not own, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the value or voting power of the outstanding securities of another corporation. See “—Asset Tests” and “—Income Tests.”

Taxable REIT Subsidiaries

A REIT may generally jointly elect with a subsidiary corporation, whether or not wholly owned, to treat the subsidiary as a “taxable REIT subsidiary.” In addition, if a taxable REIT subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, securities representing 35% or more of the vote or value of a subsidiary corporation, that subsidiary will also be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. A taxable REIT subsidiary

Exhibit 99.1

is a corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax, and state and local income tax where applicable, as a regular “C” corporation.  We generally may not own more than 10%, as measured by voting power or value, of the securities of a corporation that is not a qualified REIT subsidiary unless we and such corporation elect to treat such corporation as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Overall, no more than 25% of the value of a REIT’s assets (20% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017) may consist of stock or securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Income earned by a taxable REIT subsidiary is not attributable to us. Rather, the stock issued by a taxable REIT subsidiary to us is an asset in our hands, and we treat dividends paid to us from such taxable REIT subsidiary, if any, as income. This income can affect our income and asset tests calculations, as described below. As a result, income that might not be qualifying income for purposes of the income tests applicable to REITs could be earned by a taxable REIT subsidiary without affecting our status as a REIT. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiary of ours can perform some impermissible tenant services without causing us to receive impermissible tenant services income under the REIT income tests.

However, several provisions regarding the arrangements between a REIT and its taxable REIT subsidiaries ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to an appropriate level of United States federal income taxation. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiary is limited in its ability to deduct interest payments in excess of a certain amount made to us. Further, the rules impose a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a taxable REIT subsidiary and its parent REIT or the REIT’s tenants that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. The 100% tax also will apply to “redetermined services income,” meanings non-arm’s-length income of a taxable REIT subsidiary attributable to services provided to, or on behalf of, its parent REIT (other than services provided to the REIT’s tenants, which are potentially taxed as “redetermined rents”). A taxable REIT subsidiary may also engage in other activities that, if conducted by us other than through a taxable REIT subsidiary, could result in the receipt of non-qualified income or the ownership of non-qualified assets.

Ownership of Partnership Interests by a REIT

A REIT that is a partner in a partnership is deemed to own its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership and is deemed to receive the income of the partnership attributable to such share. In addition, the character of the assets and gross income of the partnership retains the same character in the hands of the REIT (except that for purposes of the 10% of value asset test, described below, our proportionate share of the partnership’s assets is based on our proportionate interest in the equity and certain debt securities issued by the partnership, as described in the Code). Accordingly, our proportionate share of the assets, liabilities and items of income of the Operating Partnership are treated as assets, liabilities and items of income of ours for purposes of applying the requirements described herein.  Brandywine has control over the Operating Partnership and most of the partnership and limited liability company subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and intends to operate them in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for qualification of Brandywine as a REIT.

Income Tests

In order to qualify as a REIT, Brandywine must generally satisfy two gross income requirements on an annual basis. First, at least 75% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year must be derived directly or indirectly from the following: investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property, including “rents from real property”; dividends received from other REITs; interest income derived from mortgage loans secured by real property (including certain types of mortgage-backed securities); interest on mortgage loans secured by both real and personal property if the fair market value of such personal property does not exceed 15% of the total fair market value of all property securing the loans; gains from the sale of real estate assets (except for gain from a nonqualified publicly offered REIT debt instrument (as defined below)); and income from certain kinds of temporary investments. Second, at least 95% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year must be derived from the same items which qualify under the 75% gross income test, and from dividends, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of securities, which need not have any relation to real property.

Rents received by a REIT will qualify as “rents from real property” in satisfying the gross income requirements described above only if several conditions are met.

• The amount of rent must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term “rents from real property” solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or sales.  

• Rents received from a tenant will not qualify as “rents from real property” in satisfying the gross income tests if the REIT, or a direct or indirect owner of 10% or more of the REIT, directly or constructively, owns 10% or more of such tenant (a “Related Party Tenant”). However, rental payments from a taxable REIT subsidiary will qualify as rents from real property even if we own more than 10% of the total value or combined voting power of the taxable REIT subsidiary

Exhibit 99.1

if at least 90% of the property is leased to unrelated tenants and the rent paid by the taxable REIT subsidiary is substantially comparable to the rent paid by the unrelated tenants for comparable space.

• Rent attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property will not qualify as “rents from real property” if such rent exceeds 15% of the total rent received under the lease.  

• For rents received to qualify as “rents from real property,” we generally must not operate or manage the property or furnish or render services to tenants, except through an “independent contractor” who is adequately compensated and from whom the REIT derives no income, or through a taxable REIT subsidiary.  The “independent contractor” requirement, however, does not apply to the extent the services provided by the REIT are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only, and are not otherwise considered “rendered to the occupant.” In addition, a de minimis rule applies with respect to non-customary services. Specifically, if the value of the non-customary service income with respect to a property (valued at no less than 150% of the direct costs of performing such services) is 1% or less of the total income derived from the property, then all rental income except the non-customary service income will qualify as “rents from real property.” A taxable REIT subsidiary may provide services (including non-customary services) to a REIT’s tenants without “tainting” any of the rental income received by the REIT, and it will be able to manage or operate properties for third parties and generally engage in other activities unrelated to real estate.

We do not anticipate receiving rent that is based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person (except by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or sales consistent with the rules described above). We also do not anticipate receiving more than a de minimis amount of rents from any Related Party Tenant or rents attributable to personal property leased in connection with real property that will exceed 15% of the total rents received with respect to such real property.

We provide services to our properties that we own through the Operating Partnership, and we believe that all of such services will be considered “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only so that the provision of such services will not jeopardize the qualification of rent from the properties as “rents from real property.” In the case of any services that are not “usual and customary” under the foregoing rules, we intend to employ an “independent contractor” or a taxable REIT subsidiary to provide such services.

The Operating Partnership may receive certain types of income that will not qualify under the 75% or 95% gross income tests.  In particular, dividends received from a taxable REIT subsidiary will not qualify under the 75% test. We believe, however, that the aggregate amount of such items and other non-qualifying income in any taxable year will not cause Brandywine to exceed the limits on non-qualifying income under either the 75% or 95% gross income tests.

If Brandywine fails to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross income tests for any taxable year, Brandywine may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for such year if it is entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code. These relief provisions will be generally available if (1) the failure to meet such tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, (2) we have attached a schedule of the sources of our income to our return and (3) any incorrect information on the schedule was not due to fraud with intent to evade tax. In addition, we must also file a disclosure schedule with the IRS after we determine that we have not satisfied one of the gross income tests. It is not possible, however, to state whether in all circumstances Brandywine would be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions. As discussed above in “–Taxation of Brandywine as a REIT,” even if these relief provisions apply, a tax would be imposed based on the non-qualifying income.

Asset Tests

At the close of each quarter of each taxable year, Brandywine must satisfy the following five tests relating to the nature of our assets:

First, at least 75% of the value of our total assets must be represented by some combination of “real estate assets,” cash or cash items, U.S. government securities, and, under some circumstances, stock or debt instruments purchased with new capital. For this purpose, “real estate assets” include interests in real property, such as land, buildings, leasehold interests in real property, stock of other REITs, certain kinds of mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans, and: (i) personal property leased in connection with real property to the extent that the rents from personal property are treated as “rent from real property” for purposes of the 75% income test, and (ii) debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs. Assets that do not qualify for purposes of the 75% test are subject to the additional asset tests described below, while securities that do qualify for purposes of the 75% test are generally not subject to the additional asset tests.

Second, the value of any one issuer’s securities we own may not exceed 5% of the value of our total assets.

Exhibit 99.1

Third, we may not own more than 10% of the vote or value of any one issuer’s outstanding securities. The 5% and 10% tests do not apply to our interests in the Operating Partnership, non-corporate subsidiaries, taxable REIT subsidiaries and any qualified REIT subsidiaries, and the 10% value test does not apply with respect to certain “straight debt” securities.

The safe harbor under which certain types of securities are disregarded for purposes of the 10% value limitation includes (1) straight debt securities (including straight debt securities that provides for certain contingent payments); (2) any loan to an individual or an estate; (3) any rental agreement described in Section 467 of the Code, other than with a “related person”; (4) any obligation to pay rents from real property; (5) certain securities issued by a State or any political subdivision thereof, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; (6) any security issued by a REIT; and (7) any other arrangement that, as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, is excepted from the definition of a security. In addition, for purposes of applying the 10% value limitation, (a) a REIT’s interest as a partner in a partnership is not considered a security; (b) any debt instrument issued by a partnership is not treated as a security if at least 75% of the partnership’s gross income is from sources that would qualify for the 75% REIT gross income test and (c) any debt instrument issued by a partnership is not treated as a security to the extent of the REIT’s interest as a partner in the partnership.

Fourth, not more than 25% (20% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017) of the value of our assets may be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Fifth,  not more than 25% of the value of our total assets may be represented by “nonqualified publicly offered REIT debt instruments.” “Nonqualified publicly offered REIT debt instruments” are debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs that are not secured by a mortgage on real property.

We may own, directly or indirectly, common shares of certain entities that have elected or will elect to be treated as a real estate investment trusts (“Captive REITs”). Provided that each of the Captive REITs continues to qualify as a REIT (including satisfaction of the ownership, income, asset and distribution tests discussed herein) the common shares of the Captive REITs will qualify as real estate assets under the 75% test. However, if any Captive REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any year, then the common shares of such Captive REIT will not qualify as real estate assets under the 75% test. In addition, if we own, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the common shares of each Captive REIT, Brandywine would not satisfy the 10% test if any Captive REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brandywine’s qualification as a REIT depends upon the ability of any more than 10% owned Captive REIT to continue to qualify as a REIT.

After initially meeting the asset tests at the close of any quarter, Brandywine will not lose its status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the asset tests at the end of a later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset values. If the failure to satisfy the asset tests results from an acquisition of securities or other property during a quarter, the failure can be cured by disposition of sufficient non-qualifying assets within 30 days after the close of that quarter. We intend to maintain adequate records of the value of our assets to ensure compliance with the asset tests, and to take such other action within 30 days after the close of any quarter as may be required to cure any noncompliance. However, there can be no assurance that such other action will always be successful. If we fail to cure any noncompliance with the asset tests within such time period, our status as a REIT would be lost.

The Code provides relief from certain failures to satisfy the REIT asset tests. If the failure relates to the 5% test or 10% test, and if the failure is de minimis (does not exceed the lesser of $10 million or 1% of our assets as of the end of the quarter), we may avoid the loss of our REIT status by disposing of sufficient assets to cure the failure within 6 months after the end of the quarter in which the failure was identified. For failures to meet the asset tests that are more than a de minimis amount, we may avoid the loss of our REIT status if: (1) the failure was due to reasonable cause, (2) we file a disclosure schedule at the end of the quarter in which the failure was identified, (3) we dispose of sufficient assets to cure the failure within 6 months after the end of the quarter and (4) we pay a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or the highest corporate tax rate multiplied by the net income generated by the non-qualifying assets.

Annual Distribution Requirements

In order to qualify as a REIT, Brandywine is required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to our shareholders in an amount at least equal to (1) the sum of (a) 90% of its “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and the REIT’s net capital gain or loss) and (b) 90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (2) certain “excess” non-cash income as defined in the Code. These distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if such distributions are declared in October, November or December of the taxable year, are payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in any such month, and are actually paid before the end of January of the following year. Such distributions are treated as both paid by us and received by our shareholders on December 31 of the year in which they are declared.

In addition, at our election, a distribution for a taxable year may be declared before we timely file our tax return for the year provided we pay such distribution with or before our first regular dividend payment after such declaration, and such payment is made

Exhibit 99.1

during the 12-month period following the close of such taxable year. Such distributions are taxable to our shareholders in the year in which paid, even though the distributions relate to our prior taxable year for purposes of the 90% distribution requirement.

To the extent that we distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our net taxable income, we will be subject to tax at ordinary corporate tax rates on the retained portion. In addition, we may elect to retain, rather than distribute our net long-term capital gains and pay tax on such gains. In this case, we would elect to have our shareholders include their proportionate share of such undistributed long-term capital gains in their income and receive a corresponding credit for their proportionate share of the tax paid by us. Our shareholders would then increase their adjusted basis in our shares by the difference between the amount included in their long-term capital gains and the tax deemed paid with respect to their shares.

If we should fail to distribute during each calendar year (or, in the case of distributions with declaration and record dates falling in the last three months of the calendar year, by the end of January following such calendar year) at least the sum of (1) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for such year, (2) 95% of our REIT net capital gain income for such year and (3) any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we would be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the sum of (a) the amounts actually distributed plus (b) retained amounts on which corporate level tax is paid by us.

Brandywine intends to make timely distributions sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirements. In this regard, the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership authorizes Brandywine, as general partner, to operate the partnership in a manner that will enable it to satisfy the REIT requirements and avoid the imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability. It is possible that we, from time to time, may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the 90% distribution requirement. This could arise, for example, when there is an expenditure of cash for nondeductible items such as principal amortization or capital expenditures. In addition, because we may deduct capital losses only to the extent of our capital gains, our REIT taxable income may exceed our economic income. In order to meet the 90% distribution requirement, we may borrow or may cause the Operating Partnership to arrange for short-term or possibly long-term borrowing to permit the payment of required distributions, or we may pay dividends in the form of taxable in-kind distributions of property, including potentially, our shares.

Under certain circumstances, Brandywine may be able to rectify a failure to meet the distribution requirement for a given year by paying “deficiency dividends” to shareholders in a later year that may be included in Brandywine’s deduction for distributions paid for the earlier year. Thus, Brandywine may be able to avoid losing its REIT qualification or being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends. However, Brandywine will be required to pay to the IRS interest and a penalty based upon the amount of any deduction taken for deficiency dividends.

Failure to Qualify

The Code provides relief for many failures to satisfy the REIT requirements. In addition to the relief provisions for failures to satisfy the income and asset tests (discussed above), the Code provides additional relief for other failures to satisfy REIT requirements. If the failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, and we elect to pay a penalty of $50,000 for each failure, we can avoid the loss of our REIT status.

If Brandywine fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and the relief provisions do not apply, it will be subject to tax (including any applicable corporate alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to shareholders in any year in which Brandywine fails to qualify will not be deductible to us. In such event, to the extent of Brandywine’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, all distributions to shareholders will be taxable to them as dividends, and, subject to certain limitations of the Code, corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends received deduction. Under current law, such dividends will generally be taxable to individual domestic shareholders at the 20% rate for qualified dividends provided that applicable holding period requirements are met. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, Brandywine also will be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. It is not possible to state whether in all circumstances Brandywine would be entitled to such statutory relief.

Prohibited Transactions

Net income derived from a prohibited transaction is subject to a 100% tax. The term “prohibited transaction” generally includes a sale or other disposition of property (other than foreclosure property) that is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. Under existing law, whether property is held as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and circumstances of a particular transaction. We intend to hold properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring, developing, owning and operating properties, and to make occasional sales of properties as are consistent with our investment objectives. No assurance can be given that any property that we sell will not be treated as property held for sale to customers, or that we can comply with certain safe-harbor provisions of the Code that would prevent the imposition of the 100% tax. The 100% tax does not apply to gains from the sale of property

Exhibit 99.1

that is held through a taxable REIT subsidiary or other taxable corporation, although such income will be subject to tax in the hands of that corporation at regular corporate tax rates.

Foreclosure Property

Foreclosure property is real property (including interests in real property) and any personal property incident to such real property (1) that is acquired by a REIT as a result of the REIT having bid on the property at foreclosure, or having otherwise reduced the property to ownership or possession by agreement or process of law, after there was a default (or default was imminent) on a lease of the property or a mortgage loan held by the REIT and secured by the property, (2) for which the related loan or lease was made, entered into or acquired by the REIT at a time when default was not imminent or anticipated and (3) for which such REIT makes an election to treat the property as foreclosure property. REITs generally are subject to tax at the maximum corporate rate (currently 35%) on any net income from foreclosure property, including any gain from the disposition of the foreclosure property, other than income that would otherwise be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test. Any gain from the sale of property for which a foreclosure property election has been made will not be subject to the 100% tax on gains from prohibited transactions described above, even if the property is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business.

Hedging

We may enter into hedging transactions with respect to one or more of our assets or liabilities. Hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including interest rate swaps or cap agreements, options, futures contracts, forward rate agreements or similar financial instruments. Except to the extent provided by Treasury Regulations, any income from a hedging transaction (i) made in the normal course of our business primarily to manage risk of interest rate or price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings made or to be made, or ordinary obligations incurred or to be incurred by us to acquire or own real estate assets or (ii) entered into after July 30, 2008 primarily to manage the risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain that would be qualifying income under the 75% or 95% gross income tests (or any property which generates such income or gain), which is clearly identified as such before the close of the day on which it was acquired, originated or entered into, including gain from the disposition of such a transaction, will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income test and, in respect of hedges entered into after July 30, 2008, the 75% gross income test. To the extent we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those transactions is likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% gross income tests. We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT.

If Brandywine has entered into a hedging transaction described in (i) or (ii), and a portion of the hedged indebtedness or property is extinguished or disposed of and, in connection with such extinguishment or disposition, Brandywine enters into a new clearly identified hedging transaction (a “New Hedge”), income from the applicable hedge and income from the New Hedge (including gain from the disposition of such New Hedge) will not be treated as gross income for purposes of the 95% and 75% gross income tests.

Tax Aspect of Investments in the Operating Partnership and Subsidiary Partnerships

The following discussion summarizes certain Federal income tax considerations applicable to Brandywine’s investment in the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership’s investments in subsidiary partnerships, limited liability companies, and joint ventures (referred to collectively as the “Subsidiary Partnerships”).

General

We may hold investments through entities that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including our interest in the Operating Partnership and the equity interests in Subsidiary Partnerships. In general, partnerships are “pass-through” entities that are not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Rather, partners are allocated their proportionate shares of the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of a partnership, and are subject to tax on these items without regard to whether the partners receive a distribution from the partnership. We will include in our income our proportionate share of these partnership items of the Operating Partnership and Subsidiary Partnerships for purposes of the various REIT income tests and in the computation of our REIT taxable income. Moreover, for purposes of the REIT asset tests, we will include our proportionate share of assets held by the Operating Partnership and Subsidiary Partnerships. Consequently, to the extent that we hold, directly or indirectly through another “pass-through” entity, an equity interest in a partnership, the partnership’s assets and operations may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT.

Classification of the Operating Partnership and Subsidiary Partnerships as Partnerships

The investment by us in partnerships involves special tax considerations, including the possibility of a challenge by the IRS to the status of the Operating Partnership or any of our Subsidiary Partnerships as a partnership, as opposed to an association taxable as a

Exhibit 99.1

corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If any of these entities were treated as an association for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would be taxable as a corporation and, therefore, could be subject to an entity-level tax on its income. In such a situation, the character of our assets and items of our gross income would change and could preclude us from satisfying the REIT asset tests or the REIT income tests as discussed in “—Taxation of the Company—Asset Tests” and “—Taxation of the Company —Income Tests” above, and in turn could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT. See “—Taxation of the Company—Failure to Qualify” above, for a discussion of the effect of our failure to meet these tests for a taxable year. In addition, any change in the status of any of the Operating Partnership and Subsidiary Partnershipsfor tax purposes might be treated as a taxable event, in which case we could have taxable income that is subject to the REIT distribution requirements without receiving any cash.

Treasury Regulations provide that a domestic business entity not otherwise organized as a corporation (an “Eligible Entity”) may elect to be treated as a partnership or disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. Unless it elects otherwise, an Eligible Entity in existence prior to January 1, 1997, will have the same classification for federal income tax purposes that it claimed under the entity classification Treasury Regulations in effect prior to this date. In addition, an Eligible Entity that did not exist or did not claim a classification prior to January 1, 1997 will be classified as a partnership or disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes unless it elects otherwise. The Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Partnerships (other than those Subsidiary Partnerships that have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries) intend to claim classification as partnerships or disregarded entities under these Treasury Regulations. As a result, we believe that the Operating Partnership and such Subsidiary Partnerships (other than those Subsidiary Partnerships that have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries) will be classified as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have not requested and do not intend to request a ruling from the IRS that the Operating Partnership or Subsidiary Partnerships will be classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Partnership Allocations

Although a partnership agreement generally will determine the allocation of income and losses among partners, such allocations will be disregarded for tax purposes if they do not comply with the provisions of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, which require that partnership allocations respect the economic arrangement of the partners. If an allocation is not recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the item subject to the allocation will be reallocated in accordance with the partners’ interests in the partnership, which will be determined by taking into account all of the facts and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the partners with respect to such item. The Operating Partnership’s allocations of taxable income and loss are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Tax Allocations With Respect to Contributed Properties

Pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code, items of income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to appreciated or depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a manner such that the contributor is charged with or benefits from the unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of such unrealized gain or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair market value of the contributed property at the time of contribution and the adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution. Such allocations are solely for federal income tax purposes and do not affect other economic or legal arrangements among the partners.

Our Operating Partnership has entered into transactions involving the contribution to the Operating Partnership of appreciated property, and the Operating Partnership may enter into such transactions in the future. The partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership requires allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to contributed property to be made in a manner that is consistent with Section 704(c) of the Code. Treasury Regulations issued under Section 704(c) give partnerships a choice of several methods of allocating taxable income with respect to contributed properties. Depending upon the method chosen, (1) our tax depreciation deductions attributable to those properties may be lower than they would have been if our Operating Partnership had acquired those properties for cash and (2) in the event of a sale of such properties, we could be allocated gain in excess of our corresponding economic or book gain. These allocations may cause us to recognize taxable income in excess of cash proceeds received by us, which might adversely affect our ability to comply with the REIT distribution requirements or result in our shareholders recognizing additional dividend income without an increase in distributions.

Depreciation

The Operating Partnership’s assets include a substantial amount of appreciated property contributed by its partners. Assets contributed to a partnership in a tax-free transaction generally retain the same depreciation method and recovery period as they had in the hands of the partner who contributed them to the partnership. Accordingly, a substantial amount of the Operating Partnership’s depreciation deductions for its real property are based on the historic tax depreciation schedules for the properties prior to their contribution to the Operating Partnership. The properties are being depreciated over a range of 15 to 40 years using various methods of

Exhibit 99.1

depreciation which were determined at the time that each item of depreciable property was placed in service. Any depreciable real property purchased by the Partnership is currently depreciated over 40 years. In certain instances where a partnership interest rather than real property is contributed to the Partnership, the real property may not carry over its recovery period but rather may, similarly, be subject to the lengthier recovery period.

Basis in Operating Partnership Interest

Our adjusted tax basis in each of the partnerships in which we have an interest generally (1) will be equal to the amount of cash and the basis of any other property contributed to such partnership by us, (2) will be increased by (a) our allocable share of such partnership’s income and (b) our allocable share of any indebtedness of such partnership, and (3) will be reduced, but not below zero, by our allocable share of (a) such partnership’s loss and (b) the amount of cash and the tax basis of any property distributed to us and by constructive distributions resulting from a reduction in our share of indebtedness of such partnership.

If our allocable share of the loss (or portion thereof) of any partnership in which we have an interest would reduce the adjusted tax basis of our partnership interest in such partnership below zero, the recognition of such loss will be deferred until such time as the recognition of such loss (or portion thereof) would not reduce our adjusted tax basis below zero. To the extent that distributions to us from a partnership, or any decrease in our share of the nonrecourse indebtedness of a partnership (each such decrease being considered a constructive cash distribution to the partners), would reduce our adjusted tax basis below zero, such distributions (including such constructive distributions) would constitute taxable income to us. Such distributions and constructive distributions normally would be characterized as long-term capital gain if our interest in such partnership has been held for longer than the long-term capital gain holding period (currently 12 months).

Sale of Partnership Property

Generally, any gain realized by a partnership on the sale of property held by the partnership for more than 12 months will be long-term capital gain, except for any portion of such gain that is treated as depreciation or cost recovery recapture. However, under requirements applicable to REITs under the Code, our share as a partner of any gain realized by the Operating Partnership on the sale of any property held as inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business will be treated as income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. See —Taxation of the Company—Prohibited Transactions.”

Taxation of Shareholders

As used herein, a “U.S. Shareholder” means a beneficial owner of our common shares or preferred shares, who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• a citizen or individual resident of the U.S. as defined in section 7701(b) of the Code;

• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust if it (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

As used herein, a “non-U.S. Shareholder” means a beneficial owner of our common shares or preferred shares that is not a “U.S. Shareholder” and that is not a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

If a partnership holds common shares or preferred shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding common shares or preferred shares, you should consult your tax advisor with regard to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences particular to your ownership of our common shares or preferred shares.

Taxation of Taxable U.S. Shareholders

Taxation of Ordinary Dividends on Shares

As long as Brandywine qualifies as a REIT, distributions made to Brandywine’s taxable U.S. Shareholders out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends) (“Ordinary Dividends”) will be dividends taxable to such U.S. Shareholders as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. Dividends

Exhibit 99.1

received from REITs are generally not eligible for taxation at the preferential rates for qualified dividends received by individual shareholders. We may designate a distribution as qualified dividend income to the extent of (1) qualified dividend income we receive during the current year (for example, dividends received from our taxable REIT subsidiaries), plus (2) income on which we have been subject to corporate level tax during the prior year (for example, undistributed REIT taxable income), plus (3) any income attributable to the sale of a built in gain asset that was acquired from a C corporation in a carry-over basis transaction less the tax paid on that income. To the extent that we designate a dividend as qualified dividend income, an individual will be taxable at preferential rates (20% maximum federal rate) on such qualified dividend income provided certain holding period requirements are met. However, we expect that ordinary dividends paid by Brandywine generally will not be eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income to any significant extent.

Capital Gain Distributions

Distributions that are designated as long-term capital gain dividends will be taxed as long-term capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year) without regard to the period for which the U.S. Shareholder has held its shares of beneficial interest. In general, U.S. Shareholders will be taxable on long-term capital gains at a maximum rate of 20%, except that the portion of such gain that is attributable to depreciation recapture will be taxable at the maximum rate of 25%.  However, corporate shareholders may be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary income.

We may elect under the applicable provisions of the Code to retain and pay tax on our net capital gains. In such event U.S. Shareholders will be taxable on the U.S. Shareholders’ proportionate share of such undistributed capital gains. Each U.S. Shareholder would then receive a credit, for use on their return, in the amount of the U.S. Shareholders’ proportionate share of the capital gains tax paid by us. If the credit results in an amount owed to a U.S. Shareholder, such U.S. Shareholder would receive a refund. A U.S. Shareholder’s basis in our shares will be increased by the amount of the shareholder’s allocable share of any retained capital gains less the shareholder’s allocable share of the tax paid by us on such capital gains.

Dividends Generally

Effective for distributions paid and treated as being paid in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, the aggregate amount of dividends that Brandywine may designate as “capital gain dividends” or “qualified dividend income” with respect to any taxable year may not exceed the dividends paid by Brandywine with respect to such taxable year, including dividends that are paid in the following taxable year and treated as having been paid with respect to such taxable year by being (1) declared before Brandywine timely files its tax return for such taxable year and (2) paid with or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration.

Non-Dividend Distributions

Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits (“Non-Dividend Distributions”) will not be taxable to a U.S. Shareholder to the extent that they do not exceed the adjusted basis of the shareholder’s shares, but rather will reduce the adjusted basis of such shares. To the extent that Non-Dividend Distributions exceed the adjusted basis of a U.S. Shareholder’s shares, such distributions will be included in income as long-term capital gain (or short-term capital gain if the shares have been held for 12 months or less) assuming the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the shareholder. In determining the extent to which a distribution on our shares constitutes a dividend for tax purposes, the earnings and profits of Brandywine will be allocated first to distributions with respect to the preferred shares and second to distributions with respect to common shares. Therefore, depending on our earnings and profits, distributions with respect to the preferred shares (as compared to distributions with respect to our common shares) are more likely to be treated as dividends than as a return of capital or a distribution in excess of basis.

Dividends Paid in Common Shares

We are allowed to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements with respect to certain taxable years by distributing up to 90% of our dividends in the form of common shares rather than cash. In the event that we pay a portion of a dividend in common shares, taxable U.S. Shareholders would be required to pay tax on the full amount of the dividend (including the fair market value of any common shares received) and the amount of the tax may exceed the amount of cash received.

Timing of Distributions

Any distribution declared by us in October, November or December of any year payable to a shareholder of record on a specified date in any such month shall be treated as both paid by Brandywine and received by the shareholder on December 31 of such year, provided that the distribution is actually paid by Brandywine not later than the end of January of the following calendar year.  Shareholders may not include in their individual income tax returns any of Brandywine’s losses.

Exhibit 99.1

Sale or Exchange of Common and Preferred Shares

In general, a U.S. Shareholder will recognize capital gain or loss on the disposition of common or preferred shares equal to the difference between the sales price for such shares and the adjusted tax basis for such shares. In general, a U.S. Shareholder’s adjusted tax basis will equal the U.S. Shareholder’s acquisition cost, increased by the U.S. Shareholder’s allocable share of any retained capital gains, less the U.S. Shareholder’s allocable share of the tax paid by us on such retained capital gains, and reduced by Non-Dividend Distributions.

In general, capital gains recognized by individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Shareholders upon the sale or disposition of shares of our shares will be subject to a maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of 20%, if our shares are held for more than 12 months, and will be taxed at ordinary income rates (of up to 39.6%) if our shares are held for 12 months or less. Gains recognized by U.S. Shareholders that are corporations are subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum rate of 35%, whether or not classified as long-term capital gains.

Capital losses recognized by a U.S. Shareholder upon the disposition of our shares held for more than one year at the time of disposition will be considered long-term capital losses, and are generally available only to offset capital gain income of the U.S. Shareholder but not ordinary income (except in the case of individuals, who may offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income each year). However, any loss upon a sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. Shareholder who has held such shares for six months or less (after applying certain holding period rules) will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent such shareholder has received distributions from us required to be treated as long-term capital gain.

If a U.S. Shareholder recognizes a loss upon a subsequent disposition of our shares in an amount that exceeds a prescribed threshold, it is possible that the provisions of Treasury Regulations involving “reportable transactions” could apply, with a resulting requirement to separately disclose the loss generating transactions to the IRS. While these regulations are directed towards “tax shelters,” they are written broadly, and apply to transactions that would not typically be considered tax shelters. Significant penalties apply for failure to comply with these requirements. You should consult your tax advisor concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to the receipt or disposition of our shares, or transactions that might be undertaken directly or indirectly by us. Moreover, you should be aware that we and other participants in transactions involving us (including our advisors) might be subject to disclosure or other requirements pursuant to these regulations.

Medicare Tax on Investment Income

Certain U.S. Shareholders who are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds must pay a 3.8% Medicare tax on “net investment income” which includes, among other things, dividends on shares, interest on debt securities and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of shares or debt securities, subject to certain exceptions. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this legislation on their ownership and disposition of our common shares, preferred shares or debt securities.

Passive Activity Losses and Investment Interest Limitations

Distributions from us and gain from the disposition of shares will not be treated as passive activity income and, therefore, U.S. Shareholders will not be able to apply any “passive losses” against such income. Distributions from us (to the extent they do not constitute a return of capital or capital gain dividends) will generally be treated as investment income for purposes of the investment interest limitation. A shareholder may elect to treat capital gain dividends and capital gains from the disposition of shares as investment income for purposes of the investment interest limitation, but in such event a shareholder will be taxed at ordinary income rates on such amounts.

Redemption of Preferred Shares

Our preferred shares are redeemable by us under certain circumstances. A redemption of preferred shares will be treated under Section 302 of the Code as a distribution taxable as a dividend (to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits) at ordinary income rates, unless the redemption satisfies one of the tests set forth in Section 302(b) of the Code and is therefore treated as a sale or exchange of the redeemed shares. The redemption will be treated as a sale or exchange if it (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Shareholder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Shareholder’s share interest in our company or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Shareholder, all within the meaning of Section 302(b) of the Code.

Exhibit 99.1

In determining whether any of these tests has been met, there must be taken into account not only any preferred shares owned by the U.S. Shareholder, but also such U.S. Shareholder’s ownership of our common shares, other series of preferred shares and any options to acquire any of the foregoing. The U.S. Shareholderalso must take into account any such securities (including options) which are considered to be owned by such holder by reason of the constructive ownership rules set forth in Sections 318 and 302(c) of the Code. If a particular U.S. Shareholder owns (actually or constructively) no common shares or an insubstantial percentage of common shares or preferred shares, based upon current law, it is probable that the redemption of the preferred shares from such holder would be considered “not essentially equivalent to a dividend.” However, because the determination as to whether any of the alternative tests of Section 302(b) of the Code will be satisfied with respect to any particular holder of preferred shares depends upon the facts and circumstances at the time the determination must be made, prospective holders of preferred shares are advised to consult their own tax advisors to determine such tax treatment.

If a redemption of preferred shares is not treated as a distribution taxable as a dividend to a particular U.S. Shareholder, it will be treated as a taxable sale or exchange by that holder. As a result, the U.S. Shareholder will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received (less any portion thereof attributable to accumulated and declared but unpaid dividends, which will be taxable as a dividend to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits) and (ii) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the shares were held as a capital asset, and will be long-term gain or loss if such shares were held for more than one year.

If the redemption is treated as a distribution taxable as a dividend, the amount of the distribution will be measured by the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received by the U.S. Shareholder. The U.S. Shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the preferred shares redeemed will be transferred to any other shareholdings of the holder in Brandywine. If the holder of the preferred shares owns no other shares, under certain circumstances, such basis may be transferred to a related person, or it may be lost entirely.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Applicable to U.S. Shareholders

In general, Brandywine will report to its U.S. Shareholders and the IRS the amount of distributions paid (unless the U.S. Shareholder is an exempt recipient) during each calendar year, and the amount of tax withheld, if any. Under the backup withholding rules, a U.S. Shareholder may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 28% with respect to distributions paid unless such U.S. Shareholder (a) comes within certain exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact, or (b) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A U.S. Shareholder that does not provide us with theircorrect taxpayer identification number may also be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. In addition, we may be required to withhold a portion of capital gain distributions to any U.S. Shareholderwho fail to certify their non-foreign status to Brandywine. See “—Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders.” Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the shareholder’s income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Taxation of Tax-Exempt Shareholders

U.S. tax-exempt entities, including qualified employee pension and profit sharing trusts and individual retirement accounts, generally are exempt from U.S. federal income taxation. However, they are subject to taxation on their unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”). Distributions by us to a shareholder that is a tax-exempt entity should generally not constitute UBTI, as defined in Section 512(a) of the Code provided that the tax-exempt entity has not financed the acquisition of its shares with “acquisition indebtedness” within the meaning of the Code and the shares are not otherwise used in an unrelated trade or business of the tax-exempt entity. Tax-exempt U.S. Shareholders that are social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, and qualified group legal services plans exempt from U.S. federal income taxation under sections 501(c)(7), (c)(9), (c)(17) and (c)(20) of the Code, respectively, are subject to different UBTI rules, which generally will require them to characterize distributions from us as UBTI.

In certain circumstances, a pension trust (1) that is described in Section 401(a) of the Code, (2) is tax exempt under section 501(a) of the Code and (3) that owns more than 10% of our shares could be required to treat a percentage of the dividends from us as UBTI if we are a “pension-held REIT.” We will not be a pension-held REIT unless (1) either (A) one pension trust owns more than 25% of the value of our shares or (B) a group of pension trusts, each individually holding more than 10% of the value of our shares, collectively owns more than 50% of such shares and (2) we would not have qualified as a REIT but for the fact that Section 856(h)(3) of the Code provides that shares owned by such trusts shall be treated, for purposes of the requirement that not more than 50% of the value of the outstanding shares of a REIT is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer “individuals” (as defined in the Code to include certain entities). Certain restrictions on ownership and transfer of our shares should generally prevent a tax-exempt entity from owning more than 10% of the value of our shares, or us from becoming a pension-held REIT.

Exhibit 99.1

Tax-exempt U.S. Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our shares.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders

The rules governing U.S. federal income taxation of non-U.S. Shareholders are complex and no attempt is made herein to provide more than a summary of such rules. Prospective non-U.S. Shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of U.S. federal, state and local income and estate tax laws with regard to an investment in our shares, including any reporting requirements.

Ordinary Dividends

The portion of Ordinary Dividends received by non-U.S. Shareholders that are not attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by us of United States real property interests and which are not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the non-U.S. Shareholder generally will be subject to a withholding tax equal to 30% of the gross amount of the distribution unless an applicable tax treaty reduces or eliminates that tax. Under some treaties, however, the lower rates generally applicable to dividends do not apply to dividends from REITs. We intend to withhold United States income tax at the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any such Ordinary Dividends paid to a non-U.S. Shareholder unless (1) a lower treaty rate applies and the non-U.S. Shareholder files with us a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) claiming the benefits of the lower treaty rate or (2) the non-U.S. Shareholder files with us an IRS Form W-8 claiming that the distribution is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

In general, non-U.S. Shareholders will not be considered to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business solely as a result of their ownership of our shares. If income from the investment in our shares is treated as effectively connected with the non-U.S. Shareholder’s conduct of a United States trade or business, the non-U.S. Shareholder generally will be subject to a tax at graduated rates, in the same manner as U.S. Shareholders are taxed with respect to such distributions (and may also be subject to the 30% branch profits tax in the case of a non-U.S. Shareholder that is a foreign corporation).

Non-Dividend Distributions

Unless our shares constitute a U.S. real property interest (“USRPI”), any Non-Dividend Distributions will not be taxable to a non-U.S. Shareholder to the extent that such distributions do not exceed the adjusted basis of the shareholder’s shares, but rather will reduce the adjusted basis of the shareholder in such shares. To the extent that Non-Dividend Distributions exceed the adjusted basis of a non-U.S. Shareholder’s shares, such distributions will give rise to tax liability if the non-U.S. Shareholder would otherwise be subject to tax on any gain from the sale or disposition of its shares, as described below (See “—Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders—Dispositions of our Shares”). If it cannot be determined at the time a distribution is made whether or not such distribution will be in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be subject to withholding at the same rate as Ordinary Dividends. Because we generally cannot determine at the time we make a distribution whether or not the distribution will exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, we normally will withhold tax on the entire amount of any distribution at the same rate as we would withhold on Ordinary Dividends. However, amounts thus withheld are refundable to the non-U.S. Shareholder if it is subsequently determined that such distribution was, in fact, in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

If our shares constitute a USRPI, as described below (See “—Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders—Dispositions of our Shares”), Non-Dividend Distributions by us in excess of the non-U.S. Shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in our shares will be taxed under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (“FIRPTA”) at the rate of tax, including any applicable capital gains rates, that would apply to a U.S. Shareholder of the same type (e.g., an individual or a corporation, as the case may be), and the collection of the tax will be enforced by a refundable withholding at a rate of 15% (increased from 10% effective February 17, 2016) of the Non-Dividend Distribution.

Our shares will not be treated as a USRPI when held, directly or indirectly, by a qualified shareholder and, therefore, FIRPTA will not apply to such shares.  However, certain investors in a qualified shareholder that owns more than 10% of our shares (directly or indirectly) that are not themselves qualified shareholders may be subject to FIRPTA withholding. A “qualified shareholder” is a foreign entity that (A)(i) is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program and the principal class of interest of which is listed and regularly traded on one or more recognized stock exchanges (as defined in such comprehensive income tax treaty) or (ii) is a foreign partnership that is created or organized under foreign law as a limited partnership in a jurisdiction that has an agreement for the exchange of information with respect to taxes with the United States and has a class of limited partnership units which is regularly traded on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market and the value of such class of limited partnership units is greater than 50% of the value of all of the partnership units of the foreign partnership, (B) is a qualified collective investment vehicle and (C) maintains records on the identity of each person who, at any time during the foreign person’s taxable year, holds directly 5% or more of the class of interest described in (A)(i) or (ii). A “qualified collective

Exhibit 99.1

investment vehicle” is a foreign person that (x) under the comprehensive income tax treaty described in (A)(i) or (ii) of the prior sentence would be eligible for a reduced rate of withholding with respect to dividends paid by a REIT even if such person owned more than 10% of the REIT, (y) is a publicly traded partnership that is a withholding foreign partnership and would treated as a United States real property holding corporation if it were a United States corporation or (iii) which is designated as a qualified collective investment vehicle by the Secretary of the Treasury and is either (A) fiscally transparent or (B) required to include dividends in its gross income but is entitled to a deduction for distributions to its equity investors.  Additionally, qualified foreign pension funds will not be subject to FIRPTA withholding. The rules concerning qualified shareholders and qualified foreign pension funds are complex and investors who believe they may be qualified shareholders or qualified foreign pension funds should consult with their own tax advisors to find out if these rules are applicable to them.

Capital Gain Distributions

Except as discussed below with respect to 10% or less holders of regularly traded classes of shares, distributions that are attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by us of United States real property interests will be taxed to a non-U.S. Shareholder under the provisions of FIRPTA. Under FIRPTA, distributions attributable to gain from sales of United States real property interests are taxed to a non-U.S. Shareholder as if such gain were effectively connected with a United States trade or business. Individuals who are non-U.S. Shareholders will be required to report such gain on a U.S. federal income tax return and such gain will be taxed at the normal capital gain rates applicable to U.S. individual shareholders (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals). Also, distributions subject to FIRPTA may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax in the hands of a foreign corporate shareholder not entitled to treaty relief.  Brandywine is required by applicable Treasury Regulations to withhold 35% of any distribution that could be designated by us as a capital gains dividend. The amount is creditable against the non-U.S. Shareholder’s U.S. tax liability.

However, distributions attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by us of United States real property interests are treated as ordinary dividends (not subject to the 35% withholding tax under FIRPTA) if the distribution is made to a non-U.S. Shareholder with respect to any class of shares which is “regularly traded” on an established securities market located in the United States and if the non-U.S. Shareholder did not own more than 10% of such class of shares at any time during the taxable year. Such distributions will generally be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax (subject to reduction under applicable treaty) and a non-U.S. Shareholder will not be required to report the distribution on a U.S. tax return. In addition, the branch profits tax will not apply to such distributions. See “—Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders—Ordinary Dividends.”

Although the law is not clear on the matter, it appears that amounts we designate as undistributed capital gains in respect of the stock held by U.S. Shareholders generally should be treated with respect to non-U.S. Shareholders in the same manner as actual distributions by us of capital gain dividends. Under that approach, the non-U.S. Shareholders would be able to offset as a credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability resulting therefrom their proportionate share of the tax paid by us on the undistributed capital gains, and to receive from the IRS a refund to the extent that their proportionate share of this tax paid by us were to exceed their actual U.S. federal income tax liability. If we were to designate a portion of our net capital gain as undistributed capital gain, a non-U.S. Shareholder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the taxation of such undistributed capital gain.

Dividends Paid in Common Shares

We are allowed to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements with respect to certain taxable years by distributing up to 90% of our dividends in the form of common shares rather than cash. In the event that we pay a portion of a dividend in common shares, we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividend, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in common shares.

Dispositions of Our Shares

Unless our shares constitutes a USRPI, gain recognized by a non-U.S. Shareholder upon a sale of shares generally will not be taxed under FIRPTA. Gain not subject to FIRPTA will nonetheless be taxable in the United States to a non-U.S. Shareholder if (1) investment in the shares is effectively connected with the non-U.S. Shareholder’s United States trade or business, in which case the non-U.S. Shareholder will be subject to the same treatment as U.S. Shareholders with respect to such gain or (2) the non-U.S. Shareholder is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year, in which case the nonresident alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on the individual’s capital gains.  

Our shares will not be treated as a USRPI if Brandywine is a “domestically controlled REIT,” defined generally as a REIT in which at all times during a specified testing period less than 50% in value of the shares of beneficial interest was held directly or indirectly by foreign persons. It is currently anticipated that we will be a “domestically controlled REIT,” and therefore the sale of shares by a non-U.S. Shareholder will not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA. However, because the shares may be traded, we cannot be sure

Exhibit 99.1

that we will continue to be a “domestically controlled REIT.” Further, even if we are a domestically controlled REIT, pursuant to “wash sale” rules under FIRPTA, a non-U.S. Shareholder may incur tax under FIRPTA to the extent such non-U.S. Shareholder disposes of our shares within a certain period prior to a capital gain distribution and directly or indirectly (including through certain affiliates) reacquires our shares within certain prescribed periods.

However, a non-U.S. shareholder will not incur tax under FIRPTA on a sale of common or preferred shares  if (1) our preferred shares or common shares are “regularly traded” on an established securities market within the meaning of applicable Treasury regulations and (2) the non-U.S. Shareholder did not actually, or constructively under specified attribution rules under the Code, own more than 10% of our preferred shares or common shares at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or the holder’s holding period.

If gain on the sale of our shares is subject to taxation under FIRPTA, the non-U.S. Shareholder will be subject to the same treatment as a U.S. Shareholder with respect to such gain, subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of non-resident alien individuals, and the purchaser of the shares could be required to withhold 15% (increased from 10% effective February 17, 2016) of the purchase price and remit such amount to the IRS.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Applicable to Non-U.S. Shareholders

We must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. Shareholder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. Shareholder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

Payments of dividends or of proceeds from the disposition of stock made to a non-U.S. Shareholder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless such holder establishes an exemption, for example, by properly certifying its non-United States status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or another appropriate version of IRS Form W-8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that a non-U.S. Shareholder is a United States person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax.  Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the shareholder’s income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Requirements under “FATCA”

Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as “FATCA”), payments of dividends to a non-U.S. holder will be subject to 30% withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder fails to provide the withholding agent with documentation sufficient to show that it is compliant with the FATCA or otherwise exempt from withholding under FATCA. Generally, such documentation is provided on an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable. If a dividend payment is both subject to withholding under FATCA and subject to withholding tax discussed above, the withholding under FATCA may be credited against, and therefore reduce, such other withholding tax. Starting in 2019, the gross proceeds from certain capital gain dividends or the disposition of our common stock may also be subject to FATCA withholding absent proof of FATCA compliance prior to January 1, 2019.  Non- U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of this legislation in light of their individual circumstances.

State, Local and Foreign Tax Consequences

Brandywine, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Partnerships and Brandywine’s shareholders may be subject to state, local and foreign taxation in various jurisdictions, including those in which it or they transact business or reside. The state, local and foreign tax treatment of Brandywine, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Partnerships and Brandywine’s shareholders may not conform to the U.S. federal income tax consequences discussed above. Any foreign taxes incurred by us would not pass through to shareholders as a credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability. Prospective shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of state, local and foreign tax laws on an investment in our shares.

Legislative or Other Actions Affecting REITs

The rules dealing with U.S. federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department. No assurance can be given as to whether, when, or in what form, the U.S. federal income

Exhibit 99.1

tax laws applicable to us and our shareholders may be enacted. Changes to the U.S. federal tax laws and interpretations of U.S. federal tax laws could adversely affect an investment in our shares.

Taxation of Holders of Debt Securities

This section describes the material United States federal income tax consequences of owning the debt securities that Brandywine Realty Trust or Brandywine Operating Partnership may offer. This summary is for general information only and is not tax advice. The tax consequences of owning any particular issue of debt securities will be discussed in the applicable prospectus.

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our debt securities, who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• a citizen or individual resident of the U.S. as defined in section 7701(b) of the Code;

• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust if it (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

As used herein, a “non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our debt securities that is not a “U.S. Holder,” and that is not a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

If a partnership holds debt securities, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding debt securities, you should consult your tax advisor.

Taxation of U.S. Holders

Interest

The stated interest on debt securities generally will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income at the time that it is paid or accrued, in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Original Issue Discount

If you own debt securities issued with original issue discount (“OID”), you will be subject to special tax accounting rules, as described in greater detail below. In that case, you should be aware that you generally must include OID in gross income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income, regardless of the method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, you generally will not be required to include separately in income cash payments received on the debt securities, even if denominated as interest, to the extent those payments do not constitute “qualified stated interest,” as defined below. If we determine that a particular debt security will be an OID debt security, we will disclose that determination in the prospectus relating to those debt securities.

A debt security with an “issue price” that is less than the “stated redemption price at maturity” (the sum of all payments to be made on the debt security other than “qualified stated interest”) generally will be issued with OID if that difference is at least 0.25% of the stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity of the debt security. The “issue price” of each debt security in a particular offering generally will be the first price at which a substantial amount of that particular offering is sold to the public. The term “qualified stated interest” means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or in property, other than debt instruments of the issuer, and the interest to be paid meets all of the following conditions:

• it is payable at least once per year;

• it is payable over the entire term of the debt security; and

• it is payable at a single fixed rate or, subject to certain conditions, based on one or more interest indices.

If we determine that particular debt securities of a series will bear interest that is not qualified stated interest, we will disclose that determination in the prospectus relating to those debt securities.

If you own a debt security issued with “de minimis” OID, which is discount that is not OID because it is less than 0.25% of the stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity of the debt security, you generally must include the de minimis OID in income at the time principal payments on the debt securities are made in proportion to the amount paid. Any amount of de minimis OID that you have included in income will be treated as capital gain.

Exhibit 99.1

Certain of the debt securities may contain provisions permitting them to be redeemed prior to their stated maturity at our option and/or at your option. OID debt securities containing those features may be subject to rules that differ from the general rules discussed herein. If you are considering the purchase of OID debt securities with those features, you should carefully examine the applicable prospectus and should consult your own tax advisor with respect to those features becausethe tax consequences to you with respect to OID will depend, in part, on the particular terms and features of the debt securities.

If you own OID debt securities with a maturity upon issuance of more than one year you generally must include OID in income in advance of the receipt of some or all of the related cash payments using the “constant yield method” described in the following paragraphs. This method takes into account the compounding of interest.  If you own OID debt securities with a maturity upon issuance of more than five years that is issued by Brandywine, certain rules that apply to applicable high yield discount obligations may apply to the debt securities, in which case you should carefully examine the applicable prospectus and should consult your own tax advisor regarding the United States federal income tax consequences to you of holding and disposing of those debt securities.

The amount of OID that you must include in income if you are the initial United States holder of an OID debt security is the sum of the “daily portions” of OID with respect to the debt security for each day during the taxable year or portion of the taxable year in which you held that debt security (“accrued OID”). The daily portion is determined by allocating to each day in any “accrual period” a pro rata portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. The “accrual period” for an OID debt security may be of any length and may vary in length over the term of the debt security, provided that each accrual period is no longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs on the first day or the final day of an accrual period. The amount of OID allocable to any accrual period is an amount equal to the excess, if any, of:

• the debt security’s “adjusted issue price” at the beginning of the accrual period multiplied by its yield to maturity, determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period, over

• the aggregate of all qualified stated interest allocable to the accrual period.

OID allocable to a final accrual period is the difference between the amount payable at maturity, other than a payment of qualified stated interest, and the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the final accrual period. Special rules will apply for calculating OID for an initial short accrual period. The “adjusted issue price” of a debt security at the beginning of any accrual period is equal to its issue price increased by the accrued OID for each prior accrual period, determined without regard to the amortization of any acquisition or bond premium, as described below, and reduced by any payments made on the debt security (other than qualified stated interest) on or before the first day of the accrual period. Under these rules, you will generally have to include in income increasingly greater amounts of OID in successive accrual periods. We are required to provide information returns stating the amount of OID accrued on debt securities held of record by persons other than corporations and other exempt holders.

Floating rate debt securities are subject to special OID rules. In the case of an OID debt security that is a floating rate debt security, both the “yield to maturity” and “qualified stated interest” will be determined solely for purposes of calculating the accrual of OID as though the debt security will bear interest in all periods at a fixed rate generally equal to the rate that would be applicable to interest payments on the debt security on its date of issue or, in the case of certain floating rate debt securities, the rate that reflects the yield to maturity that is reasonably expected for the debt security. Additional rules may apply if either:

• the interest on a floating rate debt security is based on more than one interest index; or

• the principal amount of the debt security is indexed in any manner.

This discussion does not address the tax rules applicable to debt securities with an indexed principal amount. If you are considering the purchase of floating rate OID debt securities or securities with indexed principal amounts, you should carefully examine the prospectus relating to those debt securities, and should consult your own tax advisor regarding the United States federal income tax consequences to you of holding and disposing of those debt securities.

You may elect to treat all interest on any debt securities as OID and calculate the amount includible in gross income under the constant yield method described above. For purposes of this election, interest includes stated interest, acquisition discount, OID, de minimis OID, market discount, de minimis market discount and unstated interest, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium or acquisition premium. You must make this election for the taxable year in which you acquired the debt security, and you may not revoke the election without the consent of the IRS. You should consult with your own tax advisor about this election.

Market Discount

If you purchase debt securities, other than OID debt securities, for an amount that is less than their stated redemption price at maturity, or, in the case of OID debt securities, their adjusted issue price, the amount of the difference will be treated as “market discount”

Exhibit 99.1

for United States federal income tax purposes, unless that difference is less than a specified de minimis amount. Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, the debt securities as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that you have not previously included in income and are treated as having accrued on the debt securities at the time of their payment or disposition. In addition, you may be required to defer, until the maturity of the debt securities or their earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness attributable to the debt securities. You may elect, on a debt security-by-debt security basis, to deduct the deferred interest expense in a tax year prior to the year of disposition. You should consult your own tax advisor before making this election.

Any market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the debt securities, unless you elect to accrue on a constant interest method. You may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a ratable or constant interest method, in which case the rule described above regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply. Your election to include market discount in income currently, once made, applies to all market discount obligations acquired by you on or after the first taxable year to which your election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. You should consult your own tax advisor before making this election.

Acquisition Premium and Amortizable Bond Premium

If you purchase OID debt securities for an amount that is greater than their adjusted issue price but equal to or less than the sum of all amounts payable on the debt securities after the purchase date other than payments of qualified stated interest, you will be considered to have purchased those debt securities at an “acquisition premium.” Under the acquisition premium rules, the amount of OID that you must include in gross income with respect to those debt securities for any taxable year will be reduced by the portion of the acquisition premium properly allocable to that year.

If you purchase debt securities (including OID debt securities) for an amount in excess of the sum of all amounts payable on those debt securities after the purchase date other than qualified stated interest, you will be considered to have purchased those debt securities at a “premium” and, if they are OID debt securities, you will not be required to include any OID in income. You generally may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of those debt securities on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under your regular accounting method. In the case of debt securities that provide for alternative payment schedules, bond premium is calculated by assuming that (a) you will exercise or not exercise options in a manner that maximizes your yield and (b) we will exercise or not exercise options in a manner that minimizes your yield (except that we will be assumed to exercise call options in a manner that maximizes your yield). If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss you would otherwise recognize on disposition of the debt security. Your election to amortize premium on a constant yield method will also apply to all debt obligations held or subsequently acquired by you on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies. You may not revoke the election without the consent of the IRS. You should consult your own tax advisor before making this election.

Sale, Exchange and Retirement of Debt Securities

A U.S. Holder of debt securities will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of such debt securities in an amount equal to the difference between:

• the amount of cash and the fair market value of other property received in exchange for such debt securities, other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid stated interest, which will be subject to tax as ordinary income to the extent not previously included in income; and

• the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such debt securities.

A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a debt security generally will equal the cost of the debt security to such holder (A) increased by the amount of OID or accrued market discount (if any) previously included in income by such holder and (B) decreased by the amount of any payments other than qualified stated interest payments and any amortizable bond premium taken by such holder.

Any gain or loss recognized will generally be capital gain or loss, and such capital gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the debt security has been held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year. Long-term capital gain for non-corporate taxpayers is subject to reduced rates of United States federal income taxation (currently, a 20% maximum federal rate). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

If a U.S. Holder recognizes a loss upon a subsequent disposition of our debt securities in an amount that exceeds a prescribed threshold, it is possible that the provisions of Treasury Regulations involving “reportable transactions” could apply, with a resulting requirement to separately disclose the loss generating transactions to the IRS. While these regulations are directed towards “tax shelters,”

Exhibit 99.1

they are written broadly, and apply to transactions that would not typically be considered tax shelters. Significant penalties apply for failure to comply with these requirements. You should consult your tax advisor concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to the receipt or disposition of our debt securities, or transactions that might be undertaken directly or indirectly by us. Moreover, you should be aware that we and other participants in transactions involving us (including our advisors) might be subject to disclosure or other requirements pursuant to these regulations.

Medicare Tax on Investment Income

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds must pay a 3.8% Medicare tax on "net investment income" which includes, among other things, dividends on shares, interest on debentures and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of shares or debentures, subject to certain exceptions. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this legislation on their ownership and disposition of our common shares, preferred shares and debt securities.

Taxation of Tax-Exempt Holders of Debt Securities

Assuming the debt security is debt for tax purposes, interest income accrued on the debt security should not constitute unrelated business taxable income to a tax-exempt holder. As a result, a tax-exempt holder generally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the interest income accruing on our debt securities. Similarly, any gain recognized by the tax-exempt holder in connection with a sale of the debt security generally should not be unrelated business taxable income. However, if a tax-exempt holder were to finance its acquisition of the debt security with debt, a portion of the interest income and gain attributable to the debt security would constitute unrelated business taxable income pursuant to the “debt-financed property” rules. Tax-exempt holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the potential tax consequences of an investment in our debt securities.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders of Debt Securities

The rules governing the U.S. federal income taxation of a Non-U.S. Holder are complex and no attempt will be made herein to provide more than a summary of such rules. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors to determine the effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax laws, as well as tax treaties, with regard to an investment in the debt securities.

Interest

Interest (including OID) paid to a non-U.S. Holder of debt securities will not be subject to United States federal withholding tax under the “portfolio interest exception,” provided that:

• interest paid on debt securities is not effectively connected with a non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

• the non-U.S. Holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the capital or profits interest in the Operating Partnership (in the case of debt issued by the Operating Partnership), or 10% or more of the shares of Brandywine (in the case of debt issued by Brandywine);

• the non-U.S. Holder is not

o a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Operating Partnership or Brandywine, as applicable, or

o a bank that receives such interest on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business; and

• the beneficial owner of debt securities provides a certification, which is generally made on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or a suitable substitute form and signed under penalties of perjury, that it is not a United States person.

A payment of interest (including OID) to a non-U.S. Holder that does not qualify for the portfolio interest exception and that is not effectively connected to a United States trade or business will be subject to United States federal withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless a United States income tax treaty applies to reduce or eliminate withholding.

A non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to tax in the same manner as a U.S. Holder with respect to payments of interest (including OID) if such payments are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder in the United States and, if an applicable tax treaty provides, such gain is attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. Holder. In some circumstances, such effectively connected income received by a non-U.S. Holder which is a corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% base rate or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate.

Exhibit 99.1

To claim the benefit of a lower treaty rate or to claim exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a United States trade or business, the non-U.S. Holder must provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8ECI or a suitable substitute form, as applicable, prior to the payment of interest. Such certificate must contain, among other information, the name and address of the non-U.S. Holder.

Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding applicable income tax treaties, which may provide different rules.

Sale or Retirement of Debt Securities

A non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of debt securities unless:

• the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale, exchange or redemption and certain other conditions are met; or

• the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business of the non-U.S. Holder in the United States and, if an applicable tax treaty so provides, such gain is attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by such holder.

Except to the extent that an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise, a non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to tax in the same manner as a U.S. Holder with respect to gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of debt securities if such gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder in the United States and, if an applicable tax treaty provides, such gain is attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. Holder. In certain circumstances, a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation will be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate on such income.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax

Your estate will not be subject to U.S. federal estate tax on the debt securities beneficially owned by you at the time of your death, provided that any payment to you on the debt securities, including OID, would be eligible for exemption from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax under the “portfolio interest” rule described above, without regard to the certification requirement.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Applicable to Holders of Debt Securities

U.S. Holders

Certain U.S. Holders may be subject to information reporting requirements on payments of principal and interest (including OID) on debt securities and payments of the proceeds of the sale, exchange, or redemption of debt securities, and backup withholding, currently imposed at a rate of 28%, may apply to such payment if the U.S. Holder:

• fails to furnish an accurate taxpayer identification number, or TIN, to the payor in the manner required;

• is notified by the IRS that it has failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or

• under certain circumstances, fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that it has furnished a correct TIN and that it has not been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding.

Non-U.S. Holders

A non-U.S. Holder is generally not subject to backup withholding with respect to payments of interest (including OID) on debt securities if it certifies as to its status as a non-U.S. Holder under penalties of perjury or if it otherwise establishes an exemption, provided that neither we nor our paying agent has actual knowledge or reason to know that the non-U.S. Holder is a United States person or that the conditions of any other exemptions are not, in fact, satisfied. Information reporting requirements, however, will apply to payments of interest (including OID) to non-U.S. Holders where such interest is subject to withholding or exempt from United States withholding tax pursuant to a tax treaty. Copies of these information returns may also be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the non-U.S. Holder resides.

The payment of the proceeds from the disposition of debt securities to or through the United States office of any broker, United States or foreign, will be subject to information reporting and possible backup withholding unless the owner certifies as to its non-United States status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption, provided that the broker does not have actual knowledge

Exhibit 99.1

or reason to know that the non-U.S. Holder is a United States person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied.

The payment of the proceeds from the disposition of debt securities to or through a non-United States office of a non-United States broker that is not a “United States related person” generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. For this purpose, a “United States related person” includes:

• a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

• a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income from all sources for the three-year period ending with the close of its taxable year preceding the payment, or for such part of the period that the broker has been in existence, is derived from activities that are effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business; or

• a foreign partnership that at any time during the partnership’s taxable year is either engaged in the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or of which 50% or more of its income or capital interests are held by United States persons.

In the case of the payment of proceeds from the disposition of debt securities to or through a non-United States office of a broker that is either a United States person or a United States related person, the payment may be subject to information reporting unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the owner is a non-U.S. Holder and the broker has no knowledge or reason to know to the contrary. Backup withholding will not apply to payments made through foreign offices of a broker that is a United States person or a United States related person, absent actual knowledge that the payee is a United States person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a Holder will be allowed as a refund or a credit against such Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the requisite procedures are followed.

Holders of debt securities are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption, if applicable.

Additional Withholding Requirements under “FATCA”

Payments of interest to a non-U.S. holder will be subject to 30% withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder fails to provide the withholding agent with documentation sufficient to show that it is compliant with the FATCA. Generally, such documentation is provided on an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable. If interest is subject to 30% tax under FATCA, it will not be subject to the 30% tax described above under “—Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholder” and “—Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders of Debt Securities.” Starting in 2019, payments of the gross proceeds may also be subject to FATCA withholding absent proof of FATCA compliance prior to January 1, 2019.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION OF THE PARENT COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

1. ORGANIZATION OF THE PARENT COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

The Parent Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that provides leasing, property management, development, redevelopment, acquisition and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of office, retail and mixed-use properties. The Parent Company owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2016, owned a 99.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company’s common shares of beneficial interest are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BDN”.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company owned 113 properties that contain an aggregate of approximately 17.6 million net rentable square feet and consist of 93 office properties, seven mixed-use properties, one retail property (101 properties, collectively the “Core Properties”), four development properties, three redevelopment properties and five properties classified as held for sale (collectively, the “Properties”).  In addition, as of December 31, 2016, the Company owned economic interests in 14 unconsolidated real estate ventures (collectively, the “Real Estate Ventures”), seven of which own properties that contain approximately 8.0 million net rentable square feet of office space; two of which own 4.3 acres of undeveloped parcels of land; two of which own 1.4 acres of land under active development; two of which own residential towers that contain 345 and 321 apartment units, respectively, and one of which owns an apartment complex that contains 398 units.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company also owned 317 acres of undeveloped land, of which five acres were held for sale, and held options to purchase approximately 60 additional acres of undeveloped land.  As of December 31, 2016, the total potential development that these land parcels could support, including the parcels under option, under current zoning and entitlements, amounted to an estimated 12.3 million square feet.  The Properties and the properties owned by the Real Estate Ventures are located in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; Southern New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; Wilmington, Delaware; Austin, Texas and Concord, California.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their endeavors without additional financial support or that the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct those matters that most significantly impacted the activities of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For entities that the Company has the obligations to fund losses, its maximum exposure to loss is not limited to the carrying amount of its investments.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures had aggregate indebtedness to third parties of $997.5 million.  These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to the Company.  As of December 31, 2016, the loans for which there is recourse to the Company consists of the following: (i) a $52.5 million payment guaranty on the term loan for evo at Cira; (ii) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the $56.0 million construction loan for TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; (iii) a joint and several cost overrun guaranty on the $88.9 million construction loan for the development project being undertaken by 1919 Market Street LP; and (iv) a $0.4 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII. On January 31, 2017, the Company sold its 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P. and the Company’s $3.2 million guarantee was cancelled. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” for further information.

When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company consolidates entities for which it has significant decision making control over the entity’s operations. The Company’s judgement with respect to its level of influence or control of an entity involves consideration of various factors including the form of the Company’s ownership interest, its representation in the entity’s governance, the size of its investment (including loans), estimates of future cash flows, its ability to participate in policy making decisions and the rights of the other investors to participate in the decision making process and to replace the Company as manager and/or liquidate the venture, if applicable. The Company’s assessment of its influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition to evaluating control rights, the Company consolidates entities in which the outside partner has no substantive kick-out rights to remove the Company as managing member. The Company continuously assesses its determination of the primary beneficiary for each entity and assesses reconsideration events that may cause a change in the original determinations. The portion of the consolidated entities that is not owned by the Company is presented as non-controlling interest as of and during the periods consolidated. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company included in its consolidated balance sheets consolidated VIEs having total assets of $417.1 million and $422.9 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $254.6 million and $258.2 million, respectively.  

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue, valuation of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, impairment of long-lived assets, land held for development, allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred costs.

Operating Properties

Operating properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of operating properties reflects their purchase price or development cost. Acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred, whereas the costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized as incurred.  Costs incurred for the renovation and betterment of an operating property are capitalized to the Company’s investment in that property. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company allocates the purchase price of properties considered to be business combinations to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease (including the below market fixed renewal period, if applicable). Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, including any below market fixed-rate renewal option periods that are considered probable.

Other intangible assets also include in-place leases based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate bargain renewal periods. Company estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers or by using independent appraisals. Factors considered by the Company in this analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rents at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from four to twelve months. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company also uses the information obtained as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence as part of its consideration of the accounting standard governing asset retirement obligations and when necessary, will record a conditional asset retirement obligation as part of its purchase price.  The Company also evaluates tenant relationships on a tenant-specific basis.  On certain of the Company’s acquisitions this intangible has been deemed immaterial, in which case no related intangible asset value is assigned.

In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, is charged to expense and market rate adjustments (above or below) are recorded to revenue.

The Company records development acquisitions that do not meet the accounting criteria to be accounted for as business combinations at the purchase price paid. Costs directly associated with development acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition.

Depreciation and Amortization

The costs of buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives: buildings and improvements (5 to 55 years) and tenant improvements (the shorter of (i) the life of the asset, 1 to 16 years, or (ii) the lease term).

Construction-in-Progress

Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of a real estate project are capitalized as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress also includes costs related to ongoing tenant improvement projects. In addition, interest, real estate taxes and other expenses that are directly associated with the Company’s development activities are capitalized until the property is placed in service. Interest expense is capitalized using the Company’s average interest rate. Internal direct costs are capitalized to projects in which qualifying expenditures are being incurred.  Internal direct construction costs totaling $6.7 million in 2016, $7.3 million in 2015, $5.2 million in 2014 and interest totaling $10.9 million in 2016, $10.2 million in 2015, and $4.8 million in 2014 were capitalized related to development of certain properties and land holdings.

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s internal direct construction costs are comprised entirely of capitalized salaries.  The following table shows the amount of compensation costs (including bonuses and benefits) capitalized for the years presented (in thousands):

	December 31,
	2016		2015		2014
Development	$	3,182	$	2,641	$	1,749

Tenant Improvements		3,391		4,429		3,261
Total	$	6,717	$	7,291	$	5,194

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment following the end of each quarter using cash flow projections and estimated fair values for each of the properties included within its impairment analysis. The Company updates leasing and other assumptions regularly, paying particular attention to properties where there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impairment in value. Additionally, the Company considers strategic decisions regarding the future development plans for property under development and other market factors. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company analyzes recoverability based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the operations and eventual disposition of the assets over, in most cases, a 10-year hold period. If there is significant possibility that the Company will dispose of assets earlier, it analyzes the recoverability using a probability weighted analysis of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the operations and eventual disposition of each asset using various possible hold periods. If the recovery analysis indicates that the carrying value of the tested property is not recoverable, the property is written down to its fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. In such case, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. If and when the Company’s plans change, it revises its recoverability analysis to use cash flows expected from operations and eventual disposition of each asset using hold periods that are consistent with its revised plans.

Estimated cash flows used in such analysis are based on the Company’s plans for the property and its views of market economic conditions. The estimates consider factors such as current and future rental rates, occupancies for the tested property and comparable properties, estimated operating and capital expenditures and recent sales data for comparable properties; most of these factors are influenced by market data obtained from real estate leasing and brokerage firms and the Company’s direct experience with the properties and their markets.

The Company generally considers assets to be “held for sale” when the transaction has been approved by its Board of Trustees, or by officers vested with authority to approve the transaction, and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale of the property within one year of the consideration date and the consummation of the transaction is otherwise considered probable. When a property is designated as held for sale, the Company stops depreciating the property and estimate the property’s fair value, net of selling costs. If the determination is made that the estimated fair value, net of selling costs, is less than the net carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recognized, reducing the net carrying value of the property to estimated fair value less selling costs. For periods in which a property is classified as held for sale, the Company classifies the assets of the property as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet for such periods.

The relevant accounting guidance for impairments requires that qualifying assets and liabilities and the results of operations that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as “held for sale,” be presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The components of the property’s net income that is reflected as discontinued operations include the net gain (or loss) upon the disposition of the property held for sale, operating results, depreciation and interest expense (if the property is subject to a secured loan).

Impairment of Land Held for Development

When demand for build-to-suit office space declines and the ability to sell land held for development deteriorates, or other market factors indicate a possible impairment in the recoverability of land held for development, it is reviewed for impairment by comparing its fair value to its carrying value. If the estimated sales value is less than the carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash equivalents in money market accounts with financial institutions in excess of insured limits, but believes this risk is mitigated by only investing in or through major financial institutions. The Company does not invest its available cash balances in money market funds, as such available cash balances are appropriately reflected as cash and cash equivalents on its consolidated balance sheet.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash held as collateral to provide credit enhancement for the Company’s mortgage debt, cash for property taxes, capital expenditures and tenant improvements. Escrows also include cash held by qualified intermediaries for possible investments in like-kind exchanges in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with sales of the Company’s properties. Restricted cash is included in the “Other assets” caption in the consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable and Accrued Rent Receivable

Generally, leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum annual rentals under tenant leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under the straight-line method and contractual lease payment terms is recorded as “Accrued rent receivable, net” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Included in current tenant receivables are tenant reimbursements which are comprised of amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses that are recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, no tenant represented more than 10% of accounts receivable and accrued rent receivable.

Tenant receivables and accrued rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for doubtful accounts of $2.4 million and $13.7 million in 2016, respectively, and $1.7 million and $14.5 million in 2015, respectively. The allowance is an estimate based on two calculations that are combined to determine the total amount reserved. First, the Company evaluates specific accounts where it has determined that a tenant may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these situations, the Company uses its judgment, based on the facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that tenant against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that the Company expects to collect. These reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information becomes available. Second, a reserve is established for all tenants based on a range of percentages applied to receivable aging categories for tenant receivables. For accrued rent receivables, the Company considers the results of the evaluation of specific accounts and also considers other factors including assigning risk factors to different industries based on its tenants Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Considering various factors including assigning a risk factor to different industries, these percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience adjusted for current market conditions, which requires management’s judgments.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

Under the equity method, investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings, cash contributions, distributions and impairments. For Real Estate Ventures that are constructing assets to commence planned principal operations, the Company capitalizes interest expense using the Company’s weighted average interest rate of consolidated debt and its investment balance as a basis. Planned principal operations commence when a property is available to lease and at that point in time the Company ceases capitalizing interest to its investment basis. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company capitalized interest expense of $1.9 million. In each of the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company capitalized interest expense of $2.0 million.

On a periodic basis, management also assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures may be other than temporarily impaired. An investment is impaired only if the value of the investment, as estimated by management, is less than the carrying value of the investment and the decline is other than temporary. To the extent that an impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment, as estimated by management. The determination as to whether an impairment exists requires significant management judgment about the fair value of its ownership interest. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals.

When the Company acquires an interest in or contributes assets to a real estate venture project, the difference between the Company’s cost basis in the investment and the value of the real estate venture or asset contributed is amortized over the life of the related assets, intangibles and liabilities and such adjustment is included in the Company’s share of equity in income of unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures. For purposes of cash flow presentation, distributions from unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures are presented as part of operating activities when they are considered as return on investments. Distributions in excess of the Company’s share in the cumulative unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures’ earnings are considered as return of investments and are presented as part of investing activities in accordance with the accounting standard for cash flow presentation.

Deferred Costs

Costs incurred in connection with property leasing are capitalized as deferred leasing costs. Deferred leasing costs consist primarily of leasing commissions and internal leasing costs that are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease which generally ranges from 1 to 16 years. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as economic and market conditions change.

Notes Receivable

The Company accounts for notes receivable on its balance sheet at amortized cost, net of allowance for loan losses. Interest income is recognized over the term of the notes receivable and is calculated based on the terms on the contractual terms of each note agreement.

Notes receivable are placed on nonaccrual status when management determines, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the loans are impaired or collection of interest is doubtful. Uncollectible interest previously accrued is recognized as bad debt expense. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received.

A note receivable was given to an unaffiliated third party during the third quarter of 2016 to facilitate its acquisition and development of an industrial facility located in Pennsauken, New Jersey. The loan matures three years after the payment commencement date, which is 90 days after substantial completion of the development, and bears interest at 6.3% during year one, 7.0% during year two and 8.0% during year three. The Company evaluated its investment in the note receivable under ASC 310, Receivables and determined that the loan was provided at market terms and the Company does not participate in the residual profit of the unaffiliated third party. Accordingly, the investment, totaling $3.4 million as of December 31, 2016, has been classified on the Company’s balance sheet as a note receivable within the “Other assets” caption on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with debt financing are capitalized as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt, except for costs capitalized related to the Company’s revolving credit facility, which are capitalized within “deferred costs, net” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs are charged to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements. Deferred financing costs consist primarily of loan fees which are amortized over the related loan term on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs are accelerated, when debt is extinguished, as part of “Interest expense-amortization of deferred financing costs” within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Original issue discounts are recognized as part of the gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, as appropriate.  

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases from the later of the date of the commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to existing leases. The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by approximately $26.3 million in 2016, $21.6 million in 2015 and $13.7 million in 2014. Deferred rents on the balance sheet represent rental revenue received prior to their due dates and amounts paid by the tenant for certain improvements considered to be landlord assets that will remain as the Company’s property at the end of the tenant’s lease term. The amortization of the amounts paid by the tenant for such improvements is calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the tenant’s lease and is a component of straight-line rental income and increased revenue by $2.1 million in 2016, $2.0 million in 2015 and $2.4 million in 2014. Lease incentives, which are included as reductions of rental revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives decreased revenue by $2.0 million in 2016, $1.8 million in 2015, and $1.5 million in 2014.

In addition, the Company’s rental revenue is impacted by the Company’s determination of whether improvements to the properties, whether made by the Company or by the tenant, are landlord assets. The determination of whether an improvement is a landlord asset requires judgment.  In making this judgment, the Company’s primary consideration is whether the improvement would be utilizable by another tenant upon move out of the improved space by the then-existing tenant. If the Company has funded an improvement that it determines not to be landlord assets, then it treats the cost of the improvement as a lease incentive. If the tenant has funded the improvement that the Company determines to be landlord assets, then the Company treats the costs of the improvement as deferred revenue and amortizes this cost into revenue over the lease term. For certain leases, the Company makes significant assumptions and judgments in determining the lease term, including assumptions when the lease provides the tenant with an early termination option. The lease term impacts the period over which the Company determines and records minimum rents and also impacts the period over which the Company amortizes lease-related costs.

The Company’s leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of a portion of common area maintenance expenses and other operating expenses to the extent that a tenant’s pro rata share of expenses exceeds a base year level set in the lease or to the extent that the tenant has a lease on a triple net basis.

Recoveries from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance expenses, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period during which the expenses are incurred.

Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented in accordance with accounting guidance which requires that these reimbursements be recorded on a gross basis because the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to the goods and services the purchase of which gives rise to the reimbursement obligation; because the Company has discretion in selecting the vendors and suppliers; and because the Company bears the credit risk in the event they do not reimburse the Company. The Company also receives payments from third parties for reimbursement of a portion of the payroll and payroll-related costs for certain of the Company’s personnel allocated to perform services for these third parties and reflects these payments on a gross basis.

The Company recognizes gains on sales of real estate at times and in amounts determined in accordance with the accounting guidance for sales of real estate. The guidance takes into account the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement, including in the form of management, leasing of space or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria for the full accrual method are not met, then the Company defers some or all of the gain recognition and accounts for the continued operations of the property by applying the finance, leasing, profit sharing, deposit, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, until the sales criteria are met.

The Company derives parking revenues from leases, monthly parking and transient parking. The Company recognizes parking revenue as earned.

The Company receives leasing commission income, property management fees and third party development fees. Leasing commission income is earned based on a percentage of gross rental income upon a tenant signing a lease with a third party lessor. Property management fees are recorded and earned based on a percentage of collected rents at the properties under management, and not on a straight-line basis, because such fees are contingent upon the collection of rents. The Company records development fees on a percentage of completion basis taking into account the risk associated with each project.

The Company recognizes fees received for lease terminations as revenue and writes off against such revenue any deferred rents receivable. The resulting net amount is the net revenue from the early termination of the leases. When a tenant's lease for space in a property is terminated early but the tenant continues to lease such space under a new or modified lease in the property, the net revenue from the early termination of the lease is recognized evenly over the remaining life of the new or modified lease in place on that property, unless the Company cannot determine that collectability of the lease termination revenue is reasonably assured.

No tenant represented greater than 10% of the Company’s rental revenue in 2016, 2015 or 2014.

Income Taxes

Parent Company

The Parent Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to continue to qualify as a REIT, the Parent Company is required to, among other things, distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. As a REIT, the Parent Company is not subject to federal and state income taxes with respect to the portion of its income that meets certain criteria and is distributed annually to its shareholders. Accordingly, a nominal provision for federal and state income taxes is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the operations of the Parent Company. The Parent Company intends to continue to operate in a manner that allows it to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal and state income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent tax years. The Parent Company is subject to certain local income taxes. Provision for such taxes has been included in general and administrative expenses in the Parent Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The tax basis of the Parent Company’s assets was $3.0 billion and $3.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Parent Company is subject to a 4% federal excise tax if sufficient taxable income is not distributed within prescribed time limits. The excise tax equals 4% of the annual amount, if any, by which the sum of (a) 85% of the Parent Company’s ordinary income and (b) 95% of the Parent Company’s net capital gain exceeds cash distributions and certain taxes paid by the Parent Company. No excise tax was incurred in 2016, 2015 or 2014.

The Parent Company has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). A TRS is subject to federal, state and local income tax. In general, a TRS may perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that the Parent Company, as a REIT, cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries did not have significant tax provisions or deferred income tax items as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act) was enacted in December 2015, and included numerous law changes applicable to REITs.  The provisions have various effective dates beginning as early as 2016.  The changes have not materially impacted the Company’s operations, but the Company will continue to monitor as regulatory guidance is issued.

Operating Partnership

In general, the Operating Partnership is not subject to federal and state income taxes, and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The partners of the Operating Partnership are required to include their respective share of the Operating Partnership’s profits or losses in their respective tax returns. The Operating Partnership’s tax returns and the amount of allocable Partnership profits and losses are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such examination results in changes to the Operating Partnership profits or losses, then the tax liability of the partners would be changed accordingly.

The tax basis of the Operating Partnership’s assets was $3.0 billion and $3.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Operating Partnership may elect to treat one or more of its subsidiaries as REITs under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. Each subsidiary REIT has met the requirements for treatment as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and, accordingly, no provision has been made for federal and state income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If any subsidiary REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, that subsidiary REIT will be subject to federal and state income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Also, each subsidiary REIT may be subject to certain local income taxes.

The Operating Partnership has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as TRSs, which are subject to federal, state and local income tax.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders, as adjusted for unallocated earnings, if any, of certain securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable in connection with awards under share-based compensation plans, including upon the exercise of stock options, and conversion of the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.  Anti-dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation.

Earnings Per Unit

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders, as adjusted for unallocated earnings, if any, of certain securities issued by the Operating Partnership, by the weighted average number of common unit equivalents outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares issuable in connection with awards under share-based compensation plans, including upon the exercise of stock options. Anti-dilutive units are excluded from the calculation.

Share-Based Compensation Plans

The Parent Company maintains a shareholder-approved equity-incentive plan known as the Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “1997 Plan”). The 1997 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees. Under the 1997 Plan, the Compensation Committee is authorized to award equity and equity-based awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted shares and performance-based shares. On June 2, 2010, the Parent Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the 1997 Plan that, among other things, increased the number of common shares available for future awards under the 1997 Plan by 6,000,000 (of which 3,600,000 shares are available solely for options and share appreciation rights). As of December 31, 2016, 4,295,559 common shares remained available for future awards under the 1997 Plan (including 2,377,778 shares available solely for options and share appreciation rights).

The Company incurred share-based compensation expense of $5.6 million during 2016, of which $1.0 million was capitalized as part of the Company’s review of employee salaries eligible for capitalization. The Company incurred share-based compensation expense of $7.3 million and $6.1 million during 2015 and 2014, of which $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, were also capitalized. The expensed amounts are included in general and administrative expense on the Company’s consolidated income statement in the respective periods.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is recorded in accordance with the provisions of the accounting standard for comprehensive income. The accounting standard establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income includes the effective portions of changes in the fair value of derivatives.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with the accounting standard for derivative and hedging activities. The accounting standard requires the Company to measure every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. See disclosures below related to the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income while the ineffective portions are recognized in earnings.

The Company actively manages its ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt. To manage its fixed and floating rate debt in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from time to time, enters into interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges, under which it agrees to exchange various combinations of fixed and/or variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company estimates the fair value of its derivatives in accordance with the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures. The accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;

• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity or information.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Non-financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a business combination and the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets measured at fair value.  The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets and equity method investments for other than temporary impairment. Any impairments recorded on equity method investments would be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair values assigned to the Company's purchase price allocations primarily utilize Level 3 inputs. The fair value assigned to the long-lived assets for which there was impairment recorded utilize Level 3 inputs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business for purposes of determining when an acquisition (or disposition) should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition (or disposition) under the relevant accounting guidance.  The amendments in the update provide a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business.  The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, the amendments in the update require that: (i) to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (ii) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments provide a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The framework includes two groups of criteria to consider that depend on whether a set has outputs. Although outputs are not required for a set to be a business, outputs generally are a key element of a business; therefore, the update provides more stringent criteria for sets without outputs. The guidance is applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for transactions which have not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. Properties acquired by the Company will most likely qualify as asset acquisitions under the new guidance compared to deemed business combinations under the previous accounting guidance. As a result, acquired property will be measured at cost, which generally includes transaction costs, the one year measurement period to determine the value of acquired contingencies does not apply to asset acquisitions and the disclosure requirements will change.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts described as restricted cash or cash equivalents.  Beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows should include restricted cash, cash equivalents and amounts described as restricted cash or cash equivalents. The guidance does not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The areas addressed in the new guidance related to debt prepayment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned and bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investments, beneficial interest in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method.  The Company elected to early adopt this guidance resulting in a reclassification of debt extinguishment costs from operating activities to financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016. There was no other impact from the adoption of this guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current incurred loss model with an expected loss approach, resulting in a more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted after December 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance and determined that the adoption of the guidance will have an impact on the Company’s estimation of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has not quantified the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued guidance amending the revenue from contracts with customers standard issued in May 2014 (and not yet effective). The amendments are intended to address implementation issues that were raised by stakeholders and discussed by the Joint Transition Resource Group, and provide additional practical expedients on collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and contract modifications and completed contracts at transition.In accordance with the FASB election to defer the effective date of the revenue recognition standard by one year, reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of its original effective date or for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Calendar year-end reporting entities are therefore required to apply the new revenue guidance beginning in their 2018 interim and annual financial statements.The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance and has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. At this point in time:

• The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition, primarily because most of its revenue is from rental revenue.  

• The Company is analyzing its tenant reimbursement revenue to determine if the performance obligations set forth in the Company’s lease agreements will change the revenue recognition pattern. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the recognition of tenant reimbursement revenue.

• The Company expects to identify similar performance obligations under this standard as compared with deliverables and separate units of account previously identified for leasing commissions, management fees and other sundry revenues. As a result, the Company expects the timing of its leasing commissions, management fees and other sundry revenues to remain the same.  

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The new guidance allows for entities to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. In addition, the guidance allows employers to withhold shares to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements up to the employees’ maximum individual tax rate without causing the award to be classified as a liability. The guidance also stipulates that cash paid by an employer to a taxing authority when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company has determined that this accounting guidance has no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Also in March 2016, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that a novation of party to a derivative instrument, whereby one of the parties to a derivative instrument is replaced with another party, does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge criteria continue to be met.  The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity has an option to apply the amendments either on a prospective basis or on a modified retrospective basis. The Company has determined that this accounting guidance has no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance modifying the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification.  Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in the same manner as operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The guidance supersedes previously issued guidance under ASC Topic 840 “Leases.” The guidance is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is expected to have the following impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

• The Company is in the process of separating lease components due under its leases from non-lease components. Under ASC 842 as a lessor, lease components will be recognized on a straight line basis, while non-lease components will be recognized in accordance with the new revenue standard. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

• The Company’s tenant reimbursement revenues generated from common area and maintenance services that are provided to its tenants are considered a non-lease component that must be separated, allocated based on the transaction price allocation guidance and accounted for according to the new revenue standard.  

• ASC 842 is expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has certain operating land lease arrangements for which it is the lessee.

• The Company will expense additional costs related to leasing efforts under ASC 842 compared to the previous GAAP because certain activities performed by personnel involved in the leasing process will no longer be considered incremental costs to execute a lease agreement.

• The Company’s equity-method investments are required to adopt the standard in accordance with public timeline. The Company anticipates the impact of ASC 842 will be similar the items described above.  

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Before this new standard, there was minimal guidance in U.S. GAAP specific to going concern. Under the new standard, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance during the fourth quarter of 2016, which had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued the Revenue from Contracts with Customers standard requiring revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods and services. The standard requires the disclosure of sufficient quantitative and qualitative information for financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and associated cashflows arising from contracts with customers.On July 9, 2015, the FASB elected to defer the effective date of this revenue recognition standard by one year. Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date or for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Calendar year-end reporting entities are therefore required to apply the new revenue guidance beginning in their 2018 interim and annual financial statements. See above for disclosure of the expected impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company anticipates the impact to its equity method investments will be similar.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

2016

Acquisition

On July 1, 2016, the Company closed on the acquisition of 34.6 acres of land located in Austin, Texas known as the Garza Ranch for a gross purchase price of $20.6 million. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and capitalized approximately $1.9 million of acquisition related costs and closing costs as part of land held for development on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company funded the acquisition with $20.4 million of available corporate funds, net of prorations and other adjustments. As of December 31, 2016, the Company is under agreement to sell 9.5 acres (of the 34.6 acres) to two unaffiliated third parties. As of December 31, 2016, the land under this agreement of sale did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Company has a continuing involvement through a completion guaranty, which requires the Company, as developer, to complete certain infrastructure improvements on behalf of the buyers of the land parcels. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” for information related to the sale of 1.7 acres.

(a) Gain/(Loss) on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

(b) As of June 30, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of the property was probable and classified this property as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the property exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $1.8 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the property. As the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement is unobservable, the Company determined that the inputs utilized to determine fair value for this property falls within Level 3 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The loss on sale represents additional closing costs recognized at closing.

(c) During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $7.4 million on the properties. See “Held for Use Impairment” section below. The loss on sale primarily relates to additional closing costs recognized at closing.

(d) Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 10, 2016 contains a complete list of the 58 properties disposed of in the transactions with Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further details of the transactions.

(e) During the three-month period ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $45.4 million. The loss on sale represents additional closing costs recognized at closing.

The Company sold the following land parcels during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

(a) Gain on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

(b) The carrying value of the land exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale as of December 31, 2015, therefore the Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.3 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2015. There was no gain or loss recognized on the sale during 2016.

Held for Use Impairment

As of December 31, 2016, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it was determined that due to the reduction in the Company’s intended hold period of three properties located in the Other segment, the Company would not recover the carrying values of these properties. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges on these properties of $7.3 million at December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying values of the properties from $25.8 million to their estimated fair value of $18.5 million. The Company measured these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 8.75% and 9.00%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the income approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis, the Company determined that due to the reduction in the Company’s intended hold period of a property located in the Metropolitan D.C. segment, the Company would not recover the carrying values of that property. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge on the property of $3.9 million at June 30, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying value of the property from $37.4 million to its estimated fair value of $33.5 million. The Company measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rate and discount rate of 7.75% and 8.25%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the income approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of the properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis, the Company determined that due to a reduction in the Company’s intended hold period, the Company would not recover the carrying value of two properties located in its Metropolitan D.C. segment. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of$7.4 million at March 31, 2016 reducing the aggregate carrying values of these properties from $51.9 million to their estimated fair values of $44.5 million. The Company measured these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 7.0%. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the income approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

Land Impairments

As of December 31, 2016, the Company assessed the fair value of the land parcels within its Other segment that it intends to sell in the short-term and, based on that assessment, the Company determined that it would not recover the carrying value of five land parcels, consisting of 108 acres. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges of $5.6 million at December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying value of the land parcels from $18.2 million to their estimated fair values of $12.6 million. The Company measured these impairments using indicative pricing in the markets in which each land parcel is located. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the market approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

(a) As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of three office properties in the Metropolitan D.C. segment was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded their fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $3.0 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. The Company measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.00% and 10.00%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. As significant inputs to the model are unobservable, the Company determined that the value determined for this property falls within Level 3 fair value reporting.

(b) As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of two office properties in the Other segment was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $11.5 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. The Company measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.75% and 9.75%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. As significant inputs to the model are unobservable, the Company determined that the value determined for this property falls within Level 3 fair value reporting.

(c) As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of a land parcel in the Other segment was probable and classified the land parcel as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the land approximated the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale and the Company recorded a nominal impairment. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale.

The sales of the Company’s fee interests in the properties referenced above do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As a result, the operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented. See Note 21, "Subsequent Events," for further information regarding these dispositions.

2015

Acquisitions

On July 7, 2015, the Company acquired a 0.8 acre parcel of land located at 2100 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $18.8 million. The Company funded $16.8 million of the purchase price with available corporate funds and the remaining $2.0 million of the purchase price was deferred until the earlier of the commencement of development or 24 months from settlement. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and capitalized a nominal amount of acquisition related costs and other costs as part of land inventory on its consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the purchase agreement, if certain land parcels adjacent to 2100 Market Street are acquired from unaffiliated third parties, the Company may be required to pay additional consideration to the seller of 2100 Market Street. The unaffiliated third parties are not party to this transaction and any land parcels acquired will be acquired in arm’s length transactions. The amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the seller of 2100 Market Street cannot be determined at this time. The Company has not yet determined the timing and cost of construction for the project as of December 31, 2015.

On June 22, 2015, through a series of transactions with International Business Machines ("IBM"), the Company acquired the remaining 50.0% interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, consisting of seven office buildings and the 66.0 acre underlying land parcel located in Austin, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of $211.4 million. The aggregate purchase price includes the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Broadmoor Austin Associates of $66.3 million. The office buildings contain 1,112,236 net rentable square feet of office space and were 100.0% occupied as of June 22, 2015. The Company funded the cost of the acquisition with an aggregate cash payment of $143.8 million, consisting of $81.0 million from available corporate funds and $62.8 million previously held in escrow related to a Section 1031 like-kind exchange. Part of the cash payment was used at closing to repay, at no repayment penalty, the remaining $51.2 million of secured debt. The Company incurred $0.2 million of acquisition related costs that are classified within general and administrative expenses.

The Company previously accounted for its 50.0% non-controlling interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates under the equity method of accounting. As a result of acquiring IBM's remaining 50.0% common interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, the Company obtained control of Broadmoor Austin Associates and the Company's existing investment balance was remeasured based on the fair value of the underlying properties acquired and the existing distribution provisions under the relevant partnership agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a $0.8 million gain on remeasurement.

Broadmoor Austin Associates contributed revenue, included in the Company’s consolidated income statements, of $26.4 million and $13.2 million and net losses of $5.2 million and $7.2 million for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company has treated its acquisition of the 50.0% ownership interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. The Company utilized a number of sources in making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangibles assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed. The purchase price has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

	June 22, 2015
Building, land and improvements	$	163,271

The unaudited pro forma information below summarizes the Company’s combined results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as though the acquisition of Broadmoor Austin Associates was completed on January 1, 2014. The supplemental pro forma operating data is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been assuming the transaction had been completed as set forth above, nor do they purport to represent the Company’s results of operations for future periods (in thousands, except for per share amounts).

For the year ended December 31, 2014, $0.2 million of acquisition related costs are included as if the transaction occurred January 1, 2014.

On April 6, 2015, the Company acquired a 0.8 acre parcel of land, located at 25 M Street Southeast, Washington, D.C. for $20.3 million. The Company funded the cost of this acquisition with available corporate funds. The Company capitalized $0.3 million of acquisition related costs and these costs are included as part of land inventory on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. On May 12, 2015, the Company subsequently contributed the land parcel into a newly formed real estate venture known as 25 M Street Holdings, LLC (“25 M Street”), a joint venture between the Company and Jaco 25 M Investors, LLC (“Akridge”), an unaffiliated third party, with the intent to construct a 271,000 square foot Class A office property. The Company holds a 95.0% ownership interest in 25 M Street and Akridge contributed $1.0 million in cash for its 5.0% ownership interest in 25 M Street. The $1.0 million contribution from Akridge was distributed to the Company during 2015. 25 M Street is consolidated within the Company's financial statements. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information. As of December 31, 2015, 25 M Street had not finalized development plans and total development costs, or received committed debt financing.

On April 2, 2015, the Company acquired, from an unaffiliated third party, a property located at 618 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, comprised of a 330-space parking garage and 14,404 net rentable square feet for $19.4 million. Although the property is currently fully operational, the Company intends to either redevelop the existing property or demolish and fully develop the property. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had not yet begun any such development or redevelopment plans. The purchase price includes contingent consideration, recorded at fair value and payable to the seller upon commencement of development, totaling $1.6 million, and cash of $17.8 million.

The Company has treated the acquisition of 618 Market Street as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets. The Company utilized a number of sources in making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company allocated $19.2 million to building, land and improvements and $0.2 million to intangible assets.

The fair value of contingent consideration was determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The significant inputs to the discounted cash flow model were the discount rate and weighted probability scenarios. As the inputs are unobservable, the Company determined the inputs used to value this liability falls within Level 3 for fair value reporting. As of December 31, 2015, there was no significant changes to the inputs and the liability remains within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

(a) Gain on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

(b) On December 31, 2015, the Company contributed two newly constructed four-story, Class A office buildings, commonly known as “Encino Trace,” containing an aggregate of approximately 320,000 square feet in Austin, Texas to one of its existing real estate ventures (the “Austin Venture”) that the Company formed in 2013 with G&I VII Austin Office LLC, an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC (“DRA”). When these two properties were contributed to the Austin Venture the Company had incurred a total of $76.7 million of development costs, representing the contribution value.  The project is expected to cost $91.3 million with remaining costs fully funded by the Austin Venture.  In conjunction with the contribution: (i) the Austin Venture obtained a $30.0 million mortgage loan; (ii) DRA contributed $25.1 million in net cash to the capital of the Austin Venture, including a $1.8 million working capital contribution; and (iii) the Austin Venture distributed $50.2 million to the Company and credited the Company with a $23.3 million capital contribution to the Austin Venture. In addition to the contribution of the properties, the Company also made a $1.8 million cash contribution to the Austin Venture for working capital. The Company recognized a $2.0 million gain on the contribution. Under the Encino Trace loan agreement the Austin Venture has the option, subject to certain leasing and loan-to-value requirements, to borrow an additional $29.7 million to fund tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

(c) The Company recorded an impairment loss of $6.3 million for the Carlsbad office properties during the fourth quarter of 2015. As such, there was no gain at disposition for this property.

(d) The Company recorded an impairment loss of $0.8 million for 100 Gateway Centre Parkway during the second quarter of 2015. As such, there was no gain at disposition for this property.

(e) The Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.7 million for Lake Merritt Tower at March 31, 2015. As such, there was no gain at disposition for this property.

(a) On February 4, 2016, the Company disposed of its interests in 58 properties located in the Pennsylvania Suburbs, New Jersey/Delaware, Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Virginia segments in a series of related transactions with Och Ziff Real Estate. During the fourth quarter of 2015, significant provisions were agreed upon by both the Company and Och Ziff Real Estate and, as a result, the Company determined that the sale of the portfolio was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $45.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2015. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement.  As the significant inputs to the model are unobservable, the Company determined that the value determined for these real estate investments fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

(b) On December 23, 2015 the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to dispose of its equity interests in the office property located at 2970 Market Street in Philadelphia commonly known as 30^th Street Main Post Office (“Cira Square”), which includes 862,692 square feet of rentable space and is fully leased to a single tenant.  As of December 31, 2015, the Company determined the sale was probable and classified the property as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. As the fair value less anticipated costs to sell exceeded the carrying value of the property no impairment loss was recorded.  The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement.  As the sales price is unobservable, the Company determined that the significant inputs used to value this real estate investment falls within Level 3 for fair value reporting. On February 5, 2016 the Company completed the disposition of its equity interests in Cira Square.

(c) On January 15, 2016, the Company sold the fee interest in a 120 acre land parcel located in Berks County, Pennsylvania for $0.9 million. As of December 31, 2015, the Company classified this land parcel as held for sale in accordance with the applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale.  As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2015.

The sales of the Company’s equity interests and the fee interests in the properties referenced above do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As a result, the operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented. See Note 21, "Subsequent Events," for further information regarding these dispositions.

Held for Use Impairment

As of December 31, 2015, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis, it was determined that due to deteriorating operating results, increased market vacancy and a reduction in management’s intended hold period, the Company would not recover the carrying value of three properties located in the Company’s Metropolitan D.C. segment. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $27.5 million at December 31, 2015 reducing the aggregate carrying values of these properties from $40.4 million to their estimated fair values of $12.9 million. The Company determined these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 8.0%. The results were compared to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value are Level 3 inputs, respectively, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

As of December 31, 2016, the Company held ownership interests in 14 unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures for an aggregate investment balance of $281.3 million. The Company formed or acquired interests in these Real Estate Ventures with unaffiliated third parties to develop or manage office, residential and/or mixed-use properties or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office, residential and/or mixed-use properties. As of December 31, 2016, seven of the real estate ventures owned  properties that contain an aggregate of approximately 8.0 million net rentable square feet of office space; two real estate ventures owned 4.3 acres of undeveloped parcels of land; two real estate ventures owned 1.4 acres of land under active development; two real estate ventures owned residential towers that contain 345 and 321 apartment units, respectively, and one real estate venture owned an apartment complex that contains 398 units.

The Company accounts for its unconsolidated interests in its Real Estate Ventures using the equity method. The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 20% to 70%, subject to specified priority allocations of distributable cash in certain of the Real Estate Ventures.

The Company earned management fees from its Real Estate Ventures of $19.8 million and $18.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company has outstanding accounts receivable balances from its Real Estate Ventures of $1.4 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity and income) are based on the historical financial information of the individual Real Estate Ventures. The Company does not record operating losses of the Real Estate Ventures in excess of its investment balance unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the Real Estate Venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the Real Estate Venture.

The Company’s investment in Real Estate Ventures as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the Company’s share of the Real Estate Ventures’ income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was as follows (in thousands):

Brandywine - AI Venture: 3141 Fairview Park Drive

On December 20, 2011, the Company formed a real estate venture, Brandywine - AI Venture LLC, (the "AICC Venture"), with Current Creek Investments, LLC ("Current Creek"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company. The Company and Current Creek each own a 50% interest in the AICC Venture. The AICC Venture owns three office properties, which the Company contributed to the AICC Venture upon its formation. The contributed office properties contain an aggregate of 587,317 net rentable square feet and consist of 3130 and 3141 Fairview Park Drive, both located in Falls Church, Virginia, and 7101 Wisconsin Avenue located in Bethesda, Maryland.

The Company maintained a regional management and leasing office at 3141 Fairview Park Drive. Consistent with the other four properties owned by the AICC Venture, financial control was shared, however, pursuant to the accounting standard for sales-leaseback transactions, the lease that the Company maintained at 3141 Fairview Park Drive resulted in the Company having continuing involvement that required 3141 Fairview Park Drive and its related operations to be consolidated by the Company under the financing method of accounting for sales of real estate. At formation, the Company concluded under ASC 810,Consolidationsthat it was appropriate to deconsolidate the remaining two properties and account for them under the equity method of accounting.

On August 31, 2016, the Company terminated its lease for the regional management and leasing office at 3141 Fairview Park Drive. Accordingly, the Company no longer has a continuing involvement, other than the equity method investment and property management agreement, with 3141 Fairview Park Drive and recorded the partial sale under the full accrual method of accounting. As a result of the sale accounting, the Company deconsolidated net assets of $45.6 million, a mortgage loan of $20.6 million and a financing liability of $12.4 million related to the property from its consolidated balance sheet and recorded a $12.6 million equity method investment. Upon recognizing the sale, there was no gain or loss, as 3141 Fairview Park Drive was impaired to its fair value during the second quarter of 2016.

On September 30, 2016, the Company funded a capital call totaling $10.3 million to the AICC Venture for its 50% share of the mortgage debt on 3141 Fairview Park Drive. Subsequently, the AICC Venture funded $20.6 million for the repayment of its mortgage debt.

The Company determined that the partial sale recognition does not have an impact on the accounting standard for VIEs because the underlying real estate venture agreements are unchanged. The Venture is not a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs.  As a result, the Company continues to use the voting interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate the Venture.  Based upon each member’s substantive participating rights over the activities of the Venture under its operating and related agreements, it is not consolidated by the Company, and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Brandywine - AI Venture: Station Square Impairment

On July, 10, 2012, Brandywine – AI Venture (the “AISS Venture”), an unconsolidated real estate venture in which the Company owns a 50% interest, acquired a three building office portfolio totaling 497,896 net rentable square feet in Silver Spring, Maryland (“Station Square”) valued at $120.6 million. During the period ended September 30, 2016, the AISS Venture recorded a $10.4 million held for use impairment charge related to Station Square, which is included in the Company’s Metropolitan D.C. segment. The Company's share of this impairment charge was $5.2 million and is reflected in equity in loss of Real Estate Ventures in its consolidated statement of operations for the period ended December 31, 2016.  The fair value of the Station Square properties was primarily determined based on offers received for the properties. The remaining properties in the AISS Venture were evaluated for impairment, and based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis, no additional other than temporary impairment was identified.

All of the inputs used to determine the above-mentioned impairment charges are categorized Level 3, as previously defined.

The Company evaluated for other than temporary impairment in its investment in the AISS Venture in accordance with ASC 323,Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The investment in the AISS Venture was determined to be the level of account for evaluation of other than temporary impairment.  The impairment recorded on the three properties was deemed to be an event that indicates the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable.  Following the recognition of the Company’s proportionate share of the impairment charge through equity in loss of Real Estate Ventures, the Company evaluated the fair value of the investment in the AISS Venture through a hypothetical liquidation at book value method.  No other than temporary impairment was identified.      

PJP V

On September 22, 2016, the real estate venture known as PJV V sold its office property, comprised of 73,997 square feet, located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Also on September 22, 2016, using proceeds from the sale, the Company liquidated its entire 25% interest in the real estate venture for $3.4 million, net of closing costs. The carrying amount of the Company’s investment was $0.2 million at the time of sale, resulting in a recognized gain of $3.2 million related to the disposition.

Invesco Venture

On August 19, 2016, the Company assigned its residual profits interest in an unconsolidated real estate venture known as Invesco, L.P. to the general partner of Invesco L.P. for $7.0 million. At the time of sale, the Company’s investment basis in Invesco, L.P. was zero and the Company held no other ownership interest. As a result, the Company recorded the entire amount of the proceeds received as a gain on sale of unconsolidated real estate ventures in its consolidated statement of operations.

1000 Chesterbrook

On June 30, 2016, the real estate venture known as 1000 Chesterbrook sold its office property, comprised of 172,286 square feet, located in Berwyn, Pennsylvania for a sales price of $32.1 million. As of June 30, 2016, the Company owned a 50% interest in the 1000 Chesterbrook real estate venture. The proceeds to 1000 Chesterbrook, net of closing costs, proration adjustments and $23.2 million of debt assumed by the buyer, were $9.8 million. The Company recorded $3.2 million for its proportionate share of the Venture’s gain which is reflected in “Gain on Real Estate Venture transactions” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The proceeds from the sale, along with $0.2 million of working capital, were distributed to the Company during the third quarter of 2016.

evo at Cira Centre South Venture

On January 25, 2013, the Company formed HSRE-Campus Crest IX Real Estate Venture (“evo at Cira”), a joint venture among the Company and two unaffiliated third parties:  Campus Crest Properties, LLC (“Campus Crest”) and HSRE-Campus Crest IXA, LLC (“HSRE”). evo at Cira constructed a 33-story, 850-bed student housing tower located in the University City submarket of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Each of the Company and Campus Crest owns a 30% interest in evo at Cira and HSRE owns a 40% interest.  evo at Cira developed the project on a one-acre land parcel held under a long-term ground lease with a third party lessor. The Company contributed to evo at Cira its tenancy rights under a long-term ground lease, together with associated development rights, at an agreed-upon value of $8.5 million.

The Company’s historical cost basis in the development rights that it contributed to the evo at Cira was $4.0 million, thus creating a $4.5 million basis difference at December 31, 2013 between the Company’s initial outside investment basis and its $8.5 million initial equity basis.  As this basis difference is not related to a physical land parcel, but rather to development rights to construct evo at Cira, the Company will accrete the basis difference as a reduction of depreciation expense over the life of evo at Cira’s assets.

On March 2, 2016, the Company paid $12.8 million of cash and HSRE paid $6.6 million of cash to purchase Campus Crest’s entire 30% interest in evo at Cira and, as a result, each of the Company and HSRE owns a 50% interest in evo at Cira. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company’s investment basis in evo at Cira is $28.3 million. In conjunction with the purchase, the Company and HSRE entered into an amended and restated operating agreement to govern their rights and obligations as sole members of evo at Cira.

On June 10, 2016, evo at Cira refinanced its $97.8 million construction facility maturing July 25, 2016 with a $117.0 million term loan bearing interest at LIBOR + 2.25% capped at a total maximum interest of 5.25% and maturing on October 31, 2019, with options to extend the term to June 30, 2021. evo at Cira received an advance of $105.0 million at closing. The additional $12.0 million capacity under the term loan may be funded if certain criteria relating to the operating performance of the student housing tower are met. The term loan is secured by a leasehold mortgage that holds absolute assignment of leases and rents. Subsequent to refinancing and the receipt of amounts in escrow under the construction loan, evo at Cira distributed $6.3 million to the Company.

The Company accounted for its investment in evo at Cira under the equity method of accounting. Based upon the reconsideration event caused by the refinancing of evo at Cira’s construction facility, the Company reassessed its consolidation conclusion. The Company determined that this Real Estate Venture is no longer a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs because evo at Cira, through the refinancing of the construction facility and without further support from the Company or HSRE, demonstrated that it has sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities. As a result, the Company used the voting interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate evo at Cira. Based upon each member's substantive participating rights over the activities that significantly impact the operations and revenues of evo at Cira under the operating agreement and related agreements, evo at Cira is not consolidated by the Company, and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As a result of this transaction, the Company did not gain a controlling financial interest over evo at Cira; therefore, it was not required to remeasure its previously held equity interest to fair value at the date that it acquired the additional equity interest.

MAP Venture

On February 4, 2016, Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P., together with subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, entered into a series of related transactions (the “Och-Ziff Sale”) with affiliates of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC (“Och-Ziff”) that resulted in the disposition by the Company of 58 office properties that contain an aggregate of 3,924,783 square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $398.1 million. The 58 properties are located in the Pennsylvania Suburbs, New Jersey/Delaware, Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Virginia. The related transactions involved: (i) the sale by the Company to MAP Fee Owner LLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff (the “O-Z Land Purchaser”), of 100% of the Company’s fee interests in the land parcels (the “Land Parcels”) underlying the 58 office properties, together with rights to be the lessor under long-term ground leases (the “Ground Leases”) covering the Land Parcels and; (ii) the Company’s formation of MAP Ground Lease Venture LLC (the “MAP Venture”) with MAP Ground Lease HoldingsLLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff (the “O-Z Venture Partner”),(iii)the Company’s sale toMAPVenture of the office buildings and related improvements (the “Buildings”) situated on the Land Parcels; and (iv) the retention of a50%non-controlling equity interest in theMAPVenture. 

The MAP Venture leases the Land Parcels from O-Z Land Purchaser through a ground lease that extends through February 2115.  Annual payments by the MAP Venture, as tenant under the Ground Leases, initially total $11.9 million and increase 2.5% annually through November 2025.

At closing on February 4, 2016, the MAP Venture obtained a third party non-recourse debt financing of approximately $180.8 million secured by mortgages on the Buildings of the MAP Venture.

As a result of this transaction, the Company received $354.0 million in proceeds and maintain a 50% ownership interest in the MAP Venture valued as of February 4, 2016 at $25.2 million, which holds the leasehold interest in the Buildings. The MAP Venture was formed as a limited liability company in which the Company has been designated as the Managing Member. In addition, through an affiliate, the Company provides property management services at the Buildings on behalf of the MAP Venture for a market based management fee.

The Company has determined that the MAP Venture is a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for consolidation of VIE’s. As a result, the Company used the VIE model under the accounting standard for consolidations to determine if it will consolidate the MAP Venture. Based on the provisions in the limited liability company agreement, the Company determined that it shares with O-Z Venture Partner the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the MAP Venture. Since control is shared, the Buildings were deconsolidated by the Company and accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

The Company is not required to fund the operating losses of the MAP Venture. Accordingly, it can only incur losses equal to its investment basis in the MAP Venture.

The Company has determined that this transaction does not represent a significant shift in the Company’s operations that has a major impact on the Company’s economic performance. As a result, the properties are not classified as discontinued operations on the consolidated financial statements.

Coppell Associates

On January 29, 2016, the Company sold its entire 50% interest in an unconsolidated real estate venture known as Coppell Associates. The proceeds to the Company, net of closing costs and related debt payoff, were $4.6 million.  The carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Coppell Associates was a $1.1 million liability at the sale date, resulting in a $5.7 million gain on sale of its interest in the real estate venture. The investment was in a liability position because the Company, as a general partner, was required to fund losses of Coppell Associates. The negative investment balance represented the Company’s share of unfunded cumulative losses incurred in excess of its investment basis as of the date of sale.

Residence Inn Tower Bridge

On December 30, 2015, the Company sold its entire 50% ownership interest in an unconsolidated real estate venture known as Residence Inn Tower Bridge (the “Residence Inn”). The proceeds to the Company, net of closing costs and related debt payoff, were $6.1 million.  The carrying amount of the Company’s investment in the Residence Inn amounted to $0.9 million at the sale date, resulting in a $5.2 million gain on sale of its interest in the Real Estate Venture.

JBG Ventures

On May 29, 2015, the Company and an unaffiliated third party, JBG/DC Manager, LLC ("JBG"), formed 51 N 50 Patterson, Holdings, LLC Venture ("51 N Street") and 1250 First Street Office, LLC Venture ("1250 First Street"), as real estate ventures, with the Company owning a 70.0% interest and JBG owning a 30.0% interest in each of the two ventures. At formation, the Company and JBG made cash contributions of $15.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively, to 51 N Street, which was used to purchase 0.9 acres of undeveloped land. At formation, the Company and JBG made cash capital contributions of $13.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively, to 1250 First Street, which was used to purchase 0.5 acres of undeveloped land.

Based upon the facts and circumstances at formation of each of the two ventures with JBG, the Company determined that each venture is a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs. As a result, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate the JBG Ventures. JBG is the managing member of the ventures, and pursuant to the operating and related agreements, major decisions require the approval of both members. Based upon each member's shared power over the activities of each of the two ventures, which most significantly impact the economics of the ventures, neither venture is consolidated by the Company. Each venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Broadmoor Austin Associates

On June 22, 2015, the Company became the sole owner of Broadmoor Austin Associates upon the Company's acquisition from an unaffiliated third party of the remaining 50.0% ownership interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates. Broadmoor Austin Associates owns seven office buildings in Austin, Texas. See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," for further information.

25 M Street (Akridge)

On May 12, 2015, the Company contributed the parcel of land purchased on April 9, 2015 into a newly formed real estate venture known as 25 M Street, a joint venture between the Company and Akridge, an unaffiliated third party. See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," for further information.

Based on the facts and circumstances at formation of 25 M Street, the Company determined that 25 M Street is a variable interest entity (VIE) in accordance with the accounting standard for consolidation of VIEs. Accordingly, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate 25 M Street. Under the operating and related agreements the Company has the power to control substantially all of the activities which most significantly impact the economics of 25 M Street, and accordingly, 25 M Street is consolidated within the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the project, which is included in the land held for development caption of the consolidated balance sheets, was $22.4 million and $20.5 million, respectively.

DRA - PA Venture

On December 19, 2007, the Company formed G&I Interchange Office LLC, a real estate venture (the “Interchange Venture”), with an unaffiliated third party, G&I VI Investment Interchange Office LLC (“G&I VI”), an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC. The Interchange Venture owned 29 office properties containing an aggregate of 1,611,961 net rentable square feet located in Montgomery, Lehigh and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania. The Company contributed these 29 properties to the Interchange Venture upon the Interchange Venture's formation and in exchange for the contribution received a cash distribution from the Venture and a 20.0% ownership interest in the Interchange Venture.

On February 27, 2015, the Interchange Venture entered into a forbearance agreement with an unaffiliated lender that held a nonrecourse mortgage on the Venture's assets. The loan matured on January 1, 2015. On August 12, 2015, the lender sold the properties to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser under the forbearance agreement and assumed the proceeds. Commensurate with the sale, the Interchange Venture was dissolved.

1919 Ventures

On January 20, 2011, the Company acquired a one acre parcel of land in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $9.3 million. The Company thereafter contributed the acquired land into a then newly-formed general partnership, referred to below as “1919 Ventures” in return for a 50.0% general partner interest, with the remaining 50.0% interest owned by an unaffiliated third party, who contributed cash in exchange for its interest.  On October 15, 2014, the Company acquired the 50% interest of the unaffiliated third party at fair value, which approximates carrying value. No remeasurement gain or loss on the Company’s previous investment was recorded at that time.

On October 21, 2014, the Company admitted an unaffiliated third party, LCOR/CalSTRS (“LCOR”) into 1919 Ventures, for $8.2 million, representing a 50% interest and, reflecting an agreed upon $16.4 million valuation of the land and improvements incurred by the Company on behalf of 1919 Ventures. After giving effect to settlement date contributions, distributions and credits, the Company and LCOR had each made, as of October 21, 2014, an additional $5.2 million capital contribution to 1919 Ventures for closing costs and development.  See Item 1., “Developments – 1919 Ventures” for an overview of the development project currently in process.

As of December 31, 2016, $79.3 million was outstanding on the construction loan and equity contributions of $29.6 million had been funded by each of the Company and LCOR.

Based upon the facts and circumstances at formation of 1919 Ventures, the Company determined that 1919 Ventures is a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs since the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partner and therefore does not have controlling financial interests in this VIE.

Austin Venture

On October 16, 2013, the Company contributed a portfolio of seven office properties containing an aggregate of 1,398,826 rentable square feet located in Austin, Texas (the “Austin Properties”) to a newly-formed joint venture (the “Austin Venture”) with G&I VII Austin Office LLC (“DRA”). DRA and the Company, based on arm’s-length negotiation, agreed to an aggregate gross sales price of $330.0 million subject to an obligation on the Company’s part to fund the first $5.2 million of post-closing capital expenditures, of which $0.8 million was funded by the Company during 2013 and the remaining $4.4 million was funded by the Company during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

DRA owns a 50% interest in the Austin Venture and the Company owns a 50% interest in the Austin Venture, subject to the Company’s right to receive up to an additional 10% of distributions.

At the closing the Austin Venture incurred third party debt financing of approximately $230.6 million secured by mortgages on the Austin Properties and used proceeds of this financing together with $49.7 million of cash contributions by DRA (less $1.9 million of closing costs and $6.9 million of closing prorations and lender holdbacks) to fund a $271.5 million distribution to the Company.  The Company agreed to fund the first $5.2 million of post-closing capital expenditures on behalf of the Austin Venture, resulting in net proceeds of $266.3 million after funding the Company’s capital expenditure obligation.  As part of the transaction, the Company’s subsidiary management company executed an agreement with the Austin Venture to provide property management and leasing services to the Austin Venture in exchange for a market-based fee.

The Company measured its equity interest at fair value based on the fair value of the Austin Properties and the distribution provisions of the real estate venture agreement.  Since the Company retains a non-controlling interest in the Austin Properties and there are no other facts and circumstances that preclude the consummation of a sale, the contribution qualifies as a partial sale of real estate under the relevant guidance for sales of real estate.  Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $25.9 million, which is reflected in “Net gain (loss) on real estate venture transactions” on the accompanying statement of operations.

On April 3, 2014, the Company contributed two three-story, Class A office buildings, commonly known as “Four Points Centre,” containing an aggregate of 192,396 net rentable square feet in Austin, Texas to the Austin Venture.  See Note 3, “Real Estate Investments,” for further information on the contribution.

On July 31, 2014, the Austin Venture acquired the Crossings at Lakeline, comprised of two three-story buildings containing an aggregate of 232,274 rentable square feet located in Austin, Texas for $48.2 million.  The transaction was funded with $34.5 million of proceeds of a 3.87% fixed rate mortgage loan from a non-affiliated institutional lender and $12.8 million (net of $0.9 million in purchase adjustments) of cash capital contributions, with $6.4 million made by each of DRA and the Company.  The Austin Venture expensed approximately $0.1 million of transaction costs to acquire the property, net of $0.6 million credit from the seller.

On October 17, 2014, the Austin Venture acquired River Place, comprised of seven Class A office buildings containing 590,881 rentable square feet located in Austin, Texas for $128.1 million.  The transaction was funded through a combination of an $88.0 million short-term loan, secured by a mortgage, made by the Company to the Austin Venture and cash capital contributions of $18.9 million made by each of DRA and the Company to the Austin Venture.  The short-term financing was provided by the Company while the Austin Venture secured permanent financing. As of December 31, 2014, the Company accounted the short-term financing as a note receivable.  See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for the Company’s accounting treatment.  On January 30, 2015, the Austin Venture closed on a mortgage loan with a non-affiliated institutional lender, and used the proceeds of the loan to repay in full an $88.0 million short-term secured loan made by the Company to fund costs of the Austin Venture's acquisition of River Place. The Austin Venture expensed approximately $0.2 million of transaction costs to acquire the property.

On December 31, 2015, the Company contributed two newly constructed four-story, Class A office buildings, commonly known as “Encino Trace,” containing an aggregate of approximately 320,000 square feet in Austin, Texas to the Austin Venture. See Note 3, “Real Estate Investments,” for further information on the contribution.

Based upon the facts and circumstances at formation of the Austin Venture, the Company determined that the Austin Venture is not a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs.  As a result, the Company used the voting interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate the Austin Venture.  Based upon each member’s substantive participating rights over the activities of the Austin Venture under the operating and related agreements of the Austin Venture, it is not consolidated by the Company, and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

The reconsideration event caused by the Company’s contribution of Encino Trace to the Austin Venture did not change the conclusion reached at formation, as the Austin Venture is operating under the same operating and related agreements and the economics are unchanged.

4040 Wilson Venture

On July 31, 2013, the Company formed 4040 Wilson LLC Venture (“4040 Wilson”) a joint venture between the Company and Ashton Park Associates LLC (“Ashton Park”), an unaffiliated third party.  Each of the Company and Ashton Park owns a 50% interest in 4040 Wilson. 4040 Wilson expects to construct a 426,000 square foot office representing the final phase of the eight building, mixed-use, Liberty Center complex developed by the parent company of Ashton Park in the Ballston submarket of Arlington, Virginia.  4040 Wilson expects to develop the office building on a 1.3-acre land parcel contributed by Ashton Park to 4040 Wilson at an agreed upon value of $36.0 million. The total estimated project costs are $202.0 million, which the Company expects will be financed through approximately $72.0 million of partner capital contributions (consisting of $36.0 million in cash from the Company, of which $35.6 million has been funded to date, and land with a value of $36.0 million from Ashton Park), with the remaining balance funded by debt financing through a construction lender that has not yet been determined. During the second quarter of 2015, 4040 Wilson completed the construction of the garage structure.  The Company expects groundbreaking on the building structure to commence upon achievement of certain pre-leasing levels, at which point 4040 Wilson expects to obtain debt financing for the remainder of the project costs.  

Based upon the facts and circumstances at formation of 4040 Wilson, the Company determined that 4040 Wilson is a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs.  As a result, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate 4040 Wilson.  Based upon each member’s shared power over the activities of 4040 Wilson under the operating and related agreements of 4040 Wilson, and the Company’s lack of control over the development and construction phases of the project, 4040 Wilson is not consolidated by the Company, and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Guarantees

As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures had aggregate indebtedness to third parties of $997.5 million.  These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to the Company.  As of December 31, 2016, the loans for which there is recourse to the Company consists of the following:(i) a $52.5 million payment guaranty on the term loan for evo at Cira; (ii) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the $56.0 million construction loan for TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; (iii) a joint and several cost overrun guaranty on the $88.9 million construction loan for the development project being undertaken by 1919 Market Street LP; and (iv) a $0.4 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII. On January 31, 2017, the Company sold its 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P. and the Company’s $3.2 million guarantee was cancelled. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the consolidated financial statements for further information.  

In addition, during construction undertaken by real estate ventures, the Company has provided and expects to continue to provide cost overrun and completion guarantees, with rights of contribution among partners or members in the real estate ventures, as well as customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of customary exceptions to nonrecourse provisions in loan agreements.

(a) On August 31, 2016, the Company deconsolidated 3141 Fairview Park Drive and began accounting for it under the equity method of accounting as part of Brandywine - AI Venture LLC, an unconsolidated real estate venture in which the Company holds a 50% interest. At December 31, 2015, this balance represented the full debt amount of the property, as it was consolidated at that time. See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further details.

(b) On April 7, 2016, the Company closed on an $86.9 million first mortgage financing on Two Logan Square, a 708,844-square foot office property located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Proceeds of the loan were used to repay, without penalty, the $86.6 million principal balance of the former Two Logan Square first mortgage loan, which had a 7.57% effective interest rate.

(c) This loan was assumed upon acquisition of the related properties on December 19, 2013. On December 29, 2015, the Company refinanced the debt increasing the principal balance to $130.0 million and extended the term from the scheduled maturity from January 6, 2016 to April 5, 2023.  The effective interest rate as of December 31, 2015 was 3.64%.  A default under this loan will also constitute a default under the loan outstanding on Two Commerce Square. This loan is also secured by a lien on Two Commerce Square.

(d) This loan was assumed upon acquisition of the related property on December 19, 2013. The interest rate reflects the market rate at the time of acquisition. A default under this loan will also constitute a default under the loan outstanding on One Commerce Square. This loan is also secured by a lien on One Commerce Square.

(e) On January 14, 2016, the Company funded $265.8 million to prepay two mortgage loans, consisting of $176.9 million of principal repayment, $44.5 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness on the office property located at 2970 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania commonly known as 30^th Street Main Post Office (“Cira Square”), ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030. Also on January 14, 2016, the Company funded $44.4 million, consisting of $35.5 million of principal repayment, $8.9 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness of a 1,662 parking space facility located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania commonly known as (“Cira South Garage”), ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030. These repayments were financed with $195.0 million of funds available under the Credit Facility with the remaining balance funded through available cash balances. The Company recognized a $66.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt, consisting of the prepayment charges along with $10.8 million and $2.4 million related to non-cash charges for deferred financing costs for Cira Square and Cira South Garage, respectively.

(f) On April 1, 2016, the entire principal balance of the unsecured 6.00% Guaranteed Notes was repaid upon maturity. Available cash balances were used to fund the repayment of the unsecured notes.

During 2016, 2015, and 2014, the Company’s weighted-average effective interest rate on its mortgage notes payable was 4.03%, 5.72%, and 5.73%, respectively.  As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying value of the mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Company’s Properties was $325.0 million and $562.7 million, respectively.

The Parent Company unconditionally guarantees the unsecured debt obligations of the Operating Partnership (or is a co-borrower with the Operating Partnership) but does not by itself incur unsecured indebtedness.  The Parent Company has no material assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.

On September 16, 2014, the Company closed on an underwritten offering of its 4.10% Guaranteed Notes 2024 Notes due October 1, 2024 (the “2014 Notes”) and  its 4.55% Guaranteed Notes due October 1, 2029 Notes (the “2029 Notes”).  The 2024 Notes were priced at 99.388% of their face amount with a yield to maturity of 4.175%, representing a spread at the time of pricing of 1.70%. The 2029 Notes were priced at 99.191% of their face amount with a yield to maturity of 4.625%, representing a spread at the time of pricing of 2.15%.  The 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes have been reflected net of discounts of $1.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and $1.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes, aggregating $492.9 million after the deduction for underwriting discounts and offering expenses, to fund its repurchase, through a tender offer, of a portion of the 5.40% Guaranteed Notes due November 1, 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) and 7.50% Guaranteed Notes due May 15, 2015 (the “2015 Notes”). Specifically, on September 16, 2014, the Company funded, under the tender offer, $75.1 million in respect of the 2014 Notes and $42.7 million in respect of the 2015 Notes.  The Company recognized a $2.6 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the total repurchase during the year ended December 31, 2014.

On September 16, 2014, the Company repaid the entire $150.0 million three-year term loan and $100.0 million four-year term loan prior to their scheduled February 2015 and 2016 maturities, respectively. In connection with these repayments, the Company accelerated $0.3 million of deferred financing amortization expense and also incurred a $0.8 million charge on the termination of associated interest rate swap contracts, as reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9, “Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments,” for further information related to the termination of the interest rate swap contracts.

On September 16, 2014, the Company gave notice of redemption, in full, of the $143.5 million in principal amount of 2014 Notes that remained outstanding following completion of the tender offer.  The Company completed the redemption of the 2014 Notes on October 16, 2014 at a cash redemption price of $1,026.88 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2014 Notes (inclusive of accrued interest to the redemption date).  Also on September 16, 2014, the Company gave notice of redemption, in full, of the $114.9 million in principal amount of 2015 Notes that remained outstanding following completion of the tender offer.  The Company completed the redemption of the 2015 Notes on October 16, 2014 at a cash redemption price of $1,070.24 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2015 Notes (inclusive of accrued interest to the redemption date).  The Company recognized a $5.0 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to total repurchase during the year ended December 31, 2014.

There were no repurchases of unsecured debt during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The following table provides additional information on the Company’s repurchase of $376.2 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding unsecured notes (consisting of the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes, as indicated above) during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Notes	Principal		Repurchase Amount (a)		Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt (b)			Acceleration of Deferred Financing
2014 5.40% Notes	$	218,549	$	219,404	$	(855	)	$	9
2015 7.50% Notes		157,625		164,364		(6,739	)		143
	$	376,174	$	383,768	$	(7,594	)	$	152

(a) Includes cash losses with respect to redemption of debt.

(b) Includes unamortized balance of the original issue discount.

On October 8, 2015, the Company amended and restated its $200.0 million seven-year term loan maturing February 1, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Company increased the term loan by an additional $50.0 million, lengthened the maturity date to October 8, 2022, and exercised the option to increase the aggregate amount by up to $150.0 million. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.80%. Through a series of interest rate swaps, the $250.0 million outstanding balance of the term loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.72%.

On May 15, 2015, the Company closed on a four-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") that provides for borrowings of up to $600.0 million. The Company expects to use advances under the Credit Facility for general business purposes, including to fund costs of acquisitions, developments and redevelopments of properties, fund share repurchases and to repay from time to time other debt. On terms and conditions specified in the credit agreement, the Company may enter into unsecured term loans and/or increase the initial amount of the credit facility by up to, in the aggregate for all such term loans and increases, an additional $400.0 million. The Credit Facility includes a $65.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $60.0 million sub-limit for swing-loans. The Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of May 15, 2019, and is subject to two six-month extensions on terms and conditions specified in the credit agreement.

At the Company's option, loans outstanding under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (1) LIBOR plus between 0.875% and 1.55% based on the Company's credit rating or (2) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent's prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% or (c) LIBOR for a one month period plus 1.00%, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.55% based on the Company's credit rating. The Credit Facility also contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to the Company at a reduced interest rate. In addition, the Company is also obligated to pay (1) in quarterly installments a facility fee on the total commitment at a rate per annum ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% based on the Company's credit rating and (2) an annual fee on the undrawn amount of each letter or credit equal to the LIBOR Margin. Based on the Company's current credit rating, the LIBOR margin is 1.20% and the facility fee is 0.25%. The Company had no borrowings under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2016.

The Credit Facility contains financial and operating covenants and restrictions, including covenants that relate to the Company’s incurrence of additional debt; granting liens; consummation of mergers and consolidations; the disposition of assets and interests in subsidiaries; the making of loans and investments and the payment of dividends. The terms of the Credit Facility require that the Company maintain customary financial and other covenants, including: (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.5 to 1.00; (ii) a minimum net worth; (iii) a leverage ratio less than or equal to 0.60 to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (iv) a ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value less than or equal to 0.60 to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (v) a ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value less than or equal to 0.40 to 1.00; and (vi) a ratio of unencumbered cash flow to interest expense on unsecured debt greater than 1.75 to 1.00. In addition, the Credit Facility restricts payments of dividends and distributions on shares in excess of 95% of the Company's funds from operations (FFO) except to the extent necessary to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. At December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Facility.

Concurrently with its entry into the Credit Facility, the Company terminated its then existing unsecured revolving credit facility, which had a scheduled maturity date of February 1, 2016.

The Term Loan contains the same financial and operating covenants and restrictions, including covenants that relate to the Company’s incurrence of additional debt; granting liens; consummation of mergers and consolidations; the disposition of assets and interests in subsidiaries; the making of loans and investments; negative pledges, transactions with affiliates and the payment of dividends, as the Credit Facility.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2016. Management continuously monitors the Company’s compliance with and anticipated compliance with the covenants. Certain of the covenants restrict the Company’s ability to obtain alternative sources of capital. While the Company currently believes it will remain in compliance with its covenants, in the event that the economy deteriorates in the future, the Company may not be able to remain in compliance with such covenants, in which case a default would result absent a lender waiver.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s aggregate scheduled principal payments of debt obligations, excluding amortization of discounts and premiums, are as follows (in thousands):

2017	$	304,931
2018		331,601

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company determined the fair values disclosed below using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The discount rate used in calculating fair value is the sum of the current risk free rate and the risk premium on the date of measurement of the instruments or obligations. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize upon disposition. The use of different estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts shown. The Company believes that the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015 approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimates of fair value differ from the carrying amounts (in thousands):

	December 31, 2016				December 31, 2015
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Unsecured notes payable	$	1,364,854	$	1,372,758	$	1,512,554	$	1,529,346
Variable rate debt	$	326,709	$	307,510	$	326,410	$	305,522
Mortgage notes payable	$	321,549	$	328,853	$	545,753	$	597,377
Note receivable (a)	$	3,380	$	3,717	$	-	$	-

(a) The inputs to originate the loan are unobservable and, as a result, are categorized as Level 3. The Company determined fair value by calculating the present value of the cash payments to be received through the maturity date of the loan. See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” for further information regarding the note origination.

The inputs utilized to determine the fair value of the Company’s unsecured notes payable are categorized as Level 2. This is because the Company valued these instruments using quoted market prices as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  For the fair value of the Company’s unsecured notes, the Company uses a discount rate based on the indicative new issue pricing provided by lenders.

The inputs utilized to determine the fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes payable and variable rate debt are categorized as Level 3.  The fair value of the variable rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities, as applicable.  The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a blended market rate for loans with similar terms, maturities and loan-to-value. These inputs have been categorized as Level 3 because the Company considers the rates used in the valuation techniques to be unobservable inputs.

For the Company’s mortgage loans, the Company uses an estimate based discounted cash flow analyses and its knowledge of the mortgage market.  The weighted average discount rate for the combined variable rate debt and mortgage loans used to calculate fair value as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was 4.353% and 4.550%, respectively. An increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model would result in a decrease to the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt.  Conversely, a decrease in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model would result in an increase to the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt.

Disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments is based upon pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts were not comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2016. Current estimates of fair value may differ from the amounts presented herein.

Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

9. RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risk Management

In the course of its ongoing business operations, the Company encounters economic risk. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is primarily the risk of inability or unwillingness of tenants to make contractually required payments and of counterparties on derivatives contracts to fulfill their obligations. Market risk is the risk of declines in the value of Company properties due to changes in rental rates, interest rates, supply and demand of similar products and other market factors affecting the valuation of properties.

Risks and Uncertainties

In the U.S., market and economic conditions have been improving, resulting in an increase of the volume of real estate transactions in the market.  If the economy deteriorates, vacancy rates may increase through 2017 and possibly beyond.  The financial markets also have an effect on the Company’s Real Estate Venture partners and contractual counterparties, including counterparties in derivative contracts.

The Company’s Credit Facility, term loans and the indenture governing its unsecured public debt securities (See Note 7, “Debt Obligations”) contain restrictions, requirements and other limitations on the ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt which it must maintain. The ability to borrow under the unsecured revolving credit facility is subject to compliance with such financial and other covenants. In the event that the Company fails to satisfy these covenants, it would be in default under the unsecured revolving credit facility, the term loans and the indenture and may be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under such circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available, or may be available only on unattractive terms.

Availability of borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility is subject to a traditional material adverse effect clause. Each time the Company borrows it must represent to the lenders that there have been no events of a nature which would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company taken as a whole or which could negatively affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the unsecured revolving credit facility. While the Company believes that there are currently no material adverse effect events, it is possible that such an event could arise which would limit the Company’s borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility. If an event occurs which is considered to have a material adverse effect, the lenders could consider the Company in default under the terms of the unsecured revolving credit facility and any borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility would become unavailable. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver, this would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2016. Management continuously monitors the Company’s compliance with and anticipated compliance with the covenants. Certain of the covenants restrict management’s ability to obtain alternative sources of capital. While the Company currently believes it will remain in compliance with its covenants, in the event that the economy deteriorates in the future, the Company may not be able to remain in compliance with such covenants, in which case a default would result absent a lender waiver.

Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific transactions. The counterparties to these arrangements are major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company is potentially exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by these counterparties. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, the Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet these obligations as they come due. The Company does not hedge credit or property value market risks through derivative financial instruments.

The Company formally assesses, both at inception of a hedge and on an on-going basis, whether each derivative is highly-effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If management determines that a derivative is not highly-effective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to be a highly-effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively for either the entire hedge or the portion of the hedge that is determined to be ineffective. The related ineffectiveness would be charged to the consolidated statement of operations.

The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

To comply with the provisions of the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The notional amounts provide an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in these instruments at that time, but do not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (amounts presented in thousands and included in other assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets).

As of December 31, 2016, one interest rate swap held an asset position and is included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  The remaining swaps are included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that the inputs utilized to determine the fair value of derivative instruments are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Disclosure about the fair value of derivative instruments is based upon pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2016. Current estimates of fair value may differ from the amounts presented herein.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise for the Company when multiple tenants of the Company are engaged in similar business activities, or are located in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that impact in a similar manner their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company. The Company regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. Management believes the current credit risk portfolio is reasonably well diversified and does not contain an unusual concentration of credit risk. No tenant accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s rents during 2016, 2015 and 2014. Conditions in the general economy and the global credit markets have had a significant adverse effect on numerous industries. The Company has tenants concentrated in various industries that may be experiencing adverse effects from the current economic conditions and the Company could be adversely affected if such tenants were to default under their leases.

The contingent securities/share based compensation impact is calculated using the treasury stock method and relates to employee awards settled in shares of the Parent Company. The effect of these securities is anti-dilutive for periods that the Parent Company incurs a net loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders and therefore is excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation in such periods.

Redeemable common limited partnership units, totaling 1,479,799 in 2016 and 1,535,102 in both 2015 and 2014, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computations because they are not dilutive.

Unvested restricted shares are considered participating securities which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends were allocated to the unvested restricted shares issued to the Company’s executives and other employees under the Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Common and Preferred Shares

On December 6, 2016, the Parent Company declared a distribution of $0.16 per common share, totaling $28.1 million, which was paid on January 25, 2017 to shareholders of record as of January 11, 2017.  On December 6, 2016, the Parent Company declared distributions on its Series E Preferred Shares to holders of record as of December 30, 2016. These shares are entitled to a preferential return of 6.90% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. Distributions paid on January 17, 2017 to holders of Series E Preferred Shares totaled $1.7 million.

Common Share Repurchases

The Parent Company maintains a common share repurchase program under which the Board of Trustees has authorized the Parent Company to repurchase common shares with no expiration date. On July 22, 2015, the Parent Company's Board of Trustees authorized additional common share repurchases of up to $100.0 million. Prior to the authorization, 539,200 common shares were available for repurchase under the preexisting share repurchase program. The Company expects to fund the share repurchases with a combination of available cash balances and availability under its unsecured revolving credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2016, there were no share repurchases under the program. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased and retired 5,209,437 common shares at an average purchase price of $12.90 per share and totaling $67.3 million. All of the repurchases under the current common share repurchase program occurred during 2015. The timing and amounts of any purchases will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, share prices, capital availability and other factors as determined by the Company’s management team. The repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

The common shares repurchased were retired and, as a result, were accounted for in accordance with Maryland law, which does not contemplate treasury stock. The repurchases were recorded as a reduction of common share (at $0.01 par value per share) and a decrease to additional paid-in-capital.

For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends were allocated to the unvested restricted units issued to the Parent Company’s executives and other employees under the Parent Company’s shareholder-approved long-term incentive plan.

Common Partnership Units and Preferred Mirror Units

The Operating Partnership issues partnership units to the Parent Company in exchange for the contribution of the net proceeds of any equity security issuance by the Parent Company. The number and terms of such partnership units correspond to the number and terms of the related equity securities issued by the Parent Company. In addition, the Operating Partnership may also issue separate classes of partnership units. Historically, the Operating Partnership has had the following types of partnership units outstanding: (i) Preferred Partnership Units which have been issued to parties other than the Parent Company; (ii) Preferred Mirror Partnership Units which have been issued to the Parent Company; and (iii) Common Partnership Units which include both interests held by the Parent Company and those held by other limited partners.

Preferred Mirror Partnership Units

In exchange for the proceeds received in corresponding offerings by the Parent Company of preferred units of beneficial interest, the Operating Partnership has issued to the Parent Company a corresponding amount of Preferred Mirror Partnership Units with terms consistent with that of the preferred securities issued by the Parent Company.

Common Partnership Units (Redeemable and General)

The Operating Partnership has two classes of Common Partnership Units: (i) Class A Limited Partnership Interest which are held by both the Parent Company and outside third parties and (ii) General Partnership Interests which are held by the Parent Company (collectively, the Class A Limited Partnership Interest, and General Partnership Interests are referred to as “Common Partnership Units”). The holders of the Common Partnership Units are entitled to share in cash distributions from, and in profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership, in proportion to their respective percentage interests, subject to preferential distributions on the preferred mirror units and the preferred units.

The Common Partnership Units held by the Parent Company (comprised of both General Partnership Units and Class A Limited Partnership Units) are presented as partner’s equity in the consolidated financial statements. Class A Limited Partnership Interest held by parties other than the Parent Company are redeemable at the option of the holder for a like number of common shares of the Parent Company, or cash, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Parent Company. Because the form of settlement of these redemption rights are not within the control of the Operating Partnership, these Common Partnership Units have been excluded from partner’s equity and are presented as redeemable limited partnership units measured at the potential cash redemption value as of the end of the periods presented based on the closing market price of the Parent Company’s common shares at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, which was $16.51, $13.66, $15.98, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, 1,479,799 of Class A Units were outstanding and owned by outside limited partners of the Operating Partnership.  As of both December 31, 2015 and 2014, 1,535,102 of Class A Units were outstanding and owned by outside limited partners of the Operating Partnership.

On December 6, 2016, the Operating Partnership declared a distribution of $0.16 per common unit, totaling $28.1 million, which was paid on January 25, 2017 to unitholders of record as of January 11, 2017.  On December 6, 2016, the Operating Partnership declared distributions on its Series E Preferred Units to holders of record as of December 30, 2016. These units are entitled to a preferential return of 6.90% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. Distributions paid on January 17, 2017 to holders of Series E Preferred Shares totaled $1.7 million.

Common Unit Repurchases

In connection with the Parent Company’s repurchase program, one mirror unit is retired for each common share repurchased. The Board of Trustees has authorized the Parent Company to repurchase common units with no expiration date. On July 22, 2015, the Parent Company's Board of Trustees authorized additional common unit repurchases of up to $100.0 million. Prior to the authorization, 539,200 common units were available for repurchase under the preexisting unit repurchase program. The Company expects to fund the unit repurchases with a combination of available cash balances and availability under its unsecured revolving credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2016, there were no unit repurchases under the program.  During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased and retired 5,209,437 common units at an average purchase price of $12.90 per unit and totaling $67.3 million. All of the repurchases under the current common unit repurchase program occurred during 2015. The timing and amounts of any purchases will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, unit prices, capital availability and other factors as determined by the Company’s management team. The repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of units and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

The common shares repurchased were retired and, as a result, were accounted for in accordance with Maryland law, which does not contemplate treasury stock. The repurchases were recorded as a reduction of common shares (at $0.01 par value per share) and a decrease to additional paid-in-capital.

401(k) Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan for its employees. Each employee may contribute up to 100% of annual compensation, subject to specific limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. At its discretion, the Company can make matching contributions equal to a percentage of the employee’s elective contribution and profit sharing contributions. The Company funds its 401(k) contributions annually and plan participants must be employed as of December 31^st in order to receive contributions, except for employees eligible for qualifying retirement, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code. Prior to 2016, employer contributions automatically vested in employer contributions.  The Company contributions were $0.4 million in each of 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Restricted Share Awards

As of December 31, 2016, 488,604 restricted shares were outstanding under the Equity Incentive Plan and vest over three years from the initial grant dates. The remaining compensation expense to be recognized at December 31, 2016 was approximately $2.1 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.4 years. During 2016, the Company recognized compensation expense related to outstanding restricted shares of $2.6 million, of which $0.4 million was capitalized as part of the Company’s review of employee salaries eligible for capitalization. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $2.4 million (of which $0.7 million was capitalized) and $2.7 million (of which $0.6 million was capitalized), respectively, of compensation expense included in general and administrative expense in the respective periods related to outstanding restricted shares.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted share activity during the year-ended December 31, 2016:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Non-vested at December 31, 2016		488,604		$	14.10	$	8,066,852

On February 22, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees awarded to officers of the Company an aggregate 141,358 restricted common shares, which cliff vest on April 15, 2019. On March 8, 2016, the Compensation Committee awarded non-officer employees an aggregate 54,168 restricted common shares, which vest in three equal annual installments on April 15 of 2017, 2018 and 2019. In addition, on May 24, 2016, the Compensation Committee awarded 32,319 restricted shares which vest ratably over three years from the date of grant. Vesting of restricted common shares is subject to acceleration upon certain events, including if the recipient of the award were to die, become disabled or, in certain cases, retire in a qualifying retirement. Qualifying retirement generally means the recipient’s voluntary termination of employment after reaching at least age 57 and accumulating at least 15 years of service with the Company. In addition, in the case of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, vesting would also accelerate if the Company were to terminate him without cause, or if he were to resign for good reason under his employment agreement. In addition, if the Company were to undergo a change of control, then unvested shares would also accelerate if, in connection with the change of control or within a specified period after the change of control, the holder’s employment were to terminate in a qualifying termination or resignation. In accordance with the accounting standard for share-based compensation, the Company amortizes share-based compensation costs through the qualifying retirement dates for those executives who meet the conditions for qualifying retirement during the scheduled vesting period and whose award agreements provide for vesting upon a qualifying retirement.

Restricted Performance Share Units Plan

The Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees has granted performance share-based awards (referred to as Restricted Performance Share Units, or RPSUs) to officers of the Parent Company.  The RPSUs are settled in common shares, with the number of common shares issuable in settlement determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return over specified measurement periods compared to total shareholder returns of comparative groups over the measurement periods.  The table below presents certain information as to unvested RPSU awards.

	RPSU Grant

Fair Value of Units on Grant Date (in thousands)	$	2,624		$	1,255	$	3,933		$	3,558

The Company values each RPSU on its grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair values of each award are being amortized over the three year cliff vesting period. The vesting of RPSUs is subject to acceleration upon a change in control or if the recipient of the award were to die, become disabled or retire in a qualifying retirement prior to the vesting date. In accordance with the accounting standard for share-based compensation, the Company amortizes stock-based compensation costs through the qualifying retirement date for those executives who meet the conditions for qualifying retirement during the schedule vesting period.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized total compensation expense for the 2016, 2015 and 2014 RPSU awards of $2.8 million, of which $0.6 million was capitalized consistent with the Company’s policies for capitalizing eligible portions of employee compensation.  For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized total compensation expense for the 2015, 2014 and 2013 RPSU awards of $4.2 million, of which $1.2 million was capitalized consistent with the Company’s policies for capitalizing eligible portions of employee compensation.  For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized total compensation expense for the 2014, 2013 and 2012 RPSU awards of $3.2 million, of which $1.1 million was capitalized consistent with the Company’s policies for capitalizing eligible portions of employee compensation.

The remaining compensation expense to be recognized at December 31, 2016 was approximately $1.5 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.2 years.

The Company issued 156,415 common shares on February 1, 2016 in settlement of RPSUs that had been awarded on February 23, 2013 (with a three-year measurement period ended December 31, 2015). Holders of these RPSUs also received a cash dividend of $0.15 per share for these common shares on February 5, 2016.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

The Parent Company’s shareholders approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which is intended to provide eligible employees with a convenient means to purchase common shares of the Parent Company through payroll deductions and voluntary cash purchases at an amount equal to 85% of the average closing price per share for a specified period. Under the plan document, the maximum participant contribution for the 2016 plan year is limited to the lesser of 20% of compensation or $50,000. The ESPP allows the Parent Company to make open market purchases, which reflects all purchases made under the plan to date. In addition, the number of shares separately reserved for issuance under the ESPP is 1.25 million. During the year ended December 31, 2016, employees made purchases under the ESPP of $0.4 million and the Company recognized $0.2 million of compensation expense related to the ESPP. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, employees made purchases under the ESPP of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and the Company recognized $0.1 million of compensation expense related to the ESPP for both years. Compensation expense represents the 15% discount on the purchase price. The Board of Trustees of the Parent Company may terminate the ESPP at its sole discretion at any time.

Deferred Compensation

In January 2005, the Parent Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) that allows trustees and certain key employees to voluntarily defer compensation. Compensation expense is recorded for the deferred compensation and a related liability is recognized. Participants may elect designated benchmark investment options for the notional investment of their deferred compensation. The deferred compensation obligation is adjusted for deemed income or loss related to the investments selected. At the time the participants defer compensation, the Company records a liability, which is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The liability is adjusted for changes in the market value of the participant-selected investments at the end of each accounting period, and the impact of adjusting the liability is recorded as an increase or decrease to compensation cost.

The Company has purchased mutual funds which can be utilized as a funding source for the Company’s obligations under the Plan. Participants in the Plan have no interest in any assets set aside by the Company to meet its obligations under the Plan. For each of the years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a nominal amount of deferred compensation costs, net of investments in the company-owned policies and mutual funds.  

Participants in the Plan may elect to have all or a portion of their deferred compensation invested in the Company’s common shares. The Company holds these shares in a rabbi trust, which is subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency. The Plan does not permit diversification of a participant’s deferral allocated to the Company common shares and deferrals allocated to Company common shares can only be settled with a fixed number of shares. In accordance with the accounting standard for deferred compensation arrangements where amounts earned are held in a rabbi trust and invested, the deferred compensation obligation associated with the Company’s common shares is classified as a component of shareholder’s equity and the related shares are treated as shares to be issued and are included in total shares outstanding. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, 0.8 million and 0.7 million of such shares, respectively, were included in total shares outstanding. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the common shares are not reflected in operations or shareholders’ equity of the Company.

TAX CREDIT TRANSACTIONS

16. TAX CREDIT TRANSACTIONS

Historic Tax Credit Transaction

On November 17, 2008, the Company closed a transaction with US Bancorp (“USB”) related to the historic rehabilitation of the IRS Philadelphia Campus, a 862,692 square foot office building that is 100% leased to the IRS. On August 27, 2010, the Company completed the development of the IRS Philadelphia Campus and the IRS lease commenced.  In connection with this completed development project, USB contributed to the Company $64.1 million of total project costs.

In exchange for its contributions to the development of the IRS Philadelphia Campus, USB was entitled to substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax rehabilitation credits available under section 47 of the Internal Revenue Code. USB did not have a material interest in the underlying economics of the property. This transaction included a put/call provision whereby the Company was obligated or entitled to repurchase USB’s interest in the IRS Philadelphia Campus. The put option was exercised on September 30, 2015 and USB's interest in the IRS Philadelphia Campus was assigned to the Company. A purchase price of $3.2 million was attributed to that puttable non-controlling interest obligation, which was funded with available corporate funds. Upon exercise of the put option, the Company funded USB's final 2% preferred return of $1.0 million.

Based on the contractual arrangements that obligated the Company to deliver tax benefits and provide other guarantees to USB and that entitled the Company through fee arrangements to receive substantially all available cash flow from the IRS Philadelphia Campus, the Company concluded that the IRS Philadelphia Campus should be consolidated. The Company also concluded that capital contributions received from USB, in substance, were consideration that the Company received in exchange for its obligation to deliver tax credits and other tax benefits to USB. These receipts other than the amounts allocated to the put obligation were recognized as revenue in the consolidated financial statements beginning when the obligation to USB was relieved which occurred upon delivery of the expected tax benefits net of any associated costs. The tax credit is subject to 20% recapture per year beginning one year after the completion of the IRS Philadelphia Campus. Beginning September 2011 to September 2015, the Company recognized the cash received as revenue net of allocated expenses over the five year credit recapture period as defined in the Internal Revenue Code within other income (expense) in its consolidated statement of operations. The fifth and final recapture period ended September 30, 2015 and the Company recognized $11.9 million of cash received as revenue, net of $0.5 million of allocated expenses within other income (expense) it its consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no USB contributions presented in the Company’s balance sheet

Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the transaction were deferred and were recognized as expense in the consolidated financial statements upon the recognition of the related revenue as discussed above. There were no deferred costs at December 31, 2016 and 2015.  Amounts included in interest expense related to the accretion of the non-controlling interest liability and the 2% return expected to be paid to USB on its non-controlling interest aggregates to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. There was no interest accretion for the year ended December 31, 2016.

New Markets Tax Credit Transaction

On December 30, 2008, the Company entered into a transaction with USB related to the Cira South Garage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and received a net benefit of $8.0 million under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit Program (“NMTC”). The NMTC was provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the “Act”) and is intended to induce investment capital in under-served and impoverished areas of the United States. The Act permits taxpayers (whether companies or individuals) to claim credits against their Federal income taxes for up to 39% of qualified investments in qualified, active low-income businesses or ventures.

USB contributed $13.3 million into the development of the Cira South Garage and as such it is entitled to substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax credit, but it does not have a material interest in the underlying economics of the Cira South Garage. This transaction also includes a put/call provision whereby the Company may be obligated or entitled to repurchase USB’s interest. The Company believes the put will be exercised and an amount attributed to that obligation is included in other liabilities and is being accreted to the expected fixed put price. The said put price is insignificant.

Based on the contractual arrangements that obligate the Company to deliver tax benefits and provide various other guarantees to USB, the Company concluded that the investment entities established to facilitate the NMTC transaction should be consolidated. There were no USB contributions presented in the Company's balance sheet at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The contributions were recorded net of direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the transaction are deferred and will be recognized as expense in the consolidated financial statements upon the recognition of the related revenue as discussed above. There were no deferred costs included within other assets on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The USB contribution other than the amount allocated to the put obligation was recognized as income in the consolidated financial statements when the tax benefits were delivered on December 30, 2015 without risk of recapture to the tax credit investors and the Company’s obligation is relieved. The NMTC is subject to 100% recapture for a period of seven years from the date that construction of the Cira South Garage commenced as provided in the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company recognized the $8.1 million of net cash received as revenue within tax credit transaction income in the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company expects that the put/call provision will be exercised in 2017.

The current balance held in AOCI is expected to be reclassified to interest expense for realized losses on forecasted debt transactions over the related term of the debt obligation, as applicable.  The Company expects to reclassify $1.2 million from AOCI into interest expense within the next twelve months.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

18. SEGMENT INFORMATION

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company managed its portfolio within seven segments: (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia Central Business District (CBD), (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C., (4) New Jersey/Delaware, (5) Richmond, Virginia, (6) Austin, Texas and (7) California. As a result of the Och-Ziff Sale that occurred on February 4, 2016, the Company has narrowed its segments to five segments located in: (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia Central Business District (“CBD”), (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and (4) Austin, Texas. The Och-Ziff Sale disposed of the entire Richmond, Virginia segment. Subsequent to the Och-Ziff Sale, the segments previously defined as New Jersey/Delaware and California are now being managed as a consolidated segment entitled (5) “Other,” as these geographies no longer provide a significant revenue contribution. The Pennsylvania Suburbs segment includes properties in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties in the Philadelphia suburbs. The Philadelphia CBD segment includes properties located in the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment includes properties in the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia and southern Maryland. The Austin, Texas segment includes properties in the City of Austin, Texas. The corporate group is responsible for cash and investment management, development of certain real estate properties during the construction period, and certain other general support functions. Land held for development and construction in progress are transferred to operating properties by region upon completion of the associated construction or project.

The following tables provide selected asset information and results of operations of the Company’s reportable segments for the three years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

The Och-Ziff Sale disposed of the entire Richmond, Virginia segment. Subsequent to the Och-Ziff Sale, the segments previously defined as New Jersey/Delaware and California are now being managed as a consolidated segment entitled “Other,” as these geographies no longer provide a significant revenue contribution. Accordingly, the chief operating decision maker revised the management structure, reallocated resources, and is assessing business operations of the five segments as of January 1, 2016.

(c) As of December 31, 2015, the 58 properties associated with the series of related transactions with Och-Ziff Real Estate were classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. On February 4, 2016, the Company completed a series of transactions, resulting in the disposition of the properties. See Note 3, “Real Estate Investments,” for further information regarding the disposition. Additionally, as of December 31, 2016, the Company categorized three office properties located in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment and two properties in the Other segment as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets.

(a) On August 31, 2016, the Company terminated its lease for the regional management and leasing office at 3141 Fairview Park Drive, located in Falls Church, Virginia. Accordingly, the Company no longer has any continuing involvement with 3141 Fairview Park Drive and recorded the partial sale under the full accrual method of accounting. See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information.

(b) The MAP Venture represents a joint venture formed between the Company and MAP Ground Lease Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group, LLC, on February 4, 2016. See Note 4 “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information. The MAP Venture’s business operations, including properties in Richmond, Virginia; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; New Jersey/Delaware and Pennsylvania Suburbs, are centrally managed with the results reported to management of the Company on a consolidated basis. As a result, the investment in the MAP Venture is separately presented. All other unconsolidated real estate ventures are managed consistently with the Company’s regional segments.

(c) See footnote (a) to the “Real estate investments, at cost” table above for further information regarding this segment.

(d) Investment in real estate ventures does not include the $1.1 million negative investment balance in one real estate venture as of December 31, 2015, which is included in other liabilities. The Company disposed of its interest in this venture during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information. The decrease to the Company’s investment balance primarily relates to distributions from the G&I VII Austin Office LLC real estate venture.

Net operating income (“NOI”) is defined as total revenue less property operating expenses, real estate taxes and third party management expenses. Segment NOI includes revenue, real estate taxes and property operating expenses directly related to operation and management of the properties owned and managed within the respective geographical region. Segment NOI excludes property level depreciation and amortization, revenue and expenses directly associated with third party real estate management and development services, expenses associated with corporate administrative support services, and inter-company eliminations. NOI also does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expenses, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and capitalized leasing costs.  Trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact the Company’s results from operations are also not reflected in NOI. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. NOI is the measure that is used by the Company to evaluate the operating performance of its real estate assets by segment. The Company also believes that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding its financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expenses recorded at the property level, as well as the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unlevered basis.  The Company believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is an appropriate earnings measure. The following is a reconciliation of consolidated NOI to consolidated net income (loss), as defined by GAAP:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties. Given the nature of the Company’s business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system. The Company will establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and when the amount of loss is reasonably estimable.  The Company does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Letters-of-Credit

Under certain mortgages, the Company has funded required leasing and capital reserve accounts for the benefit of the mortgage lenders with letters-of-credit.  There is an associated $10.0 million letter of credit for a mortgage lender at each of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Certain of the tenant rents at properties that secure these mortgage loans are deposited into the loan servicer’s depository accounts, which are used to fund debt service, operating expenses, capital expenditures and the escrow and reserve accounts, as necessary. Any excess cash is included in cash and cash equivalents.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments. The Company’s compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and the Company does not believe it will have a material adverse effect in the future. However, the Company cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its current Properties or on properties that the Company may acquire.

Ground Rent

Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancellable ground leases under which the Company is the lessee are expensed on a straight-line basis regardless of when payments are due. The Company’s ground leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 4 to 72 years. Minimum future rental payments on non-cancelable leases at December 31, 2016 are as follows (in thousands):

Year	Minimum Rent
2017	$	1,339
2018		1,339

2021		1,339

Total	$	72,926

The Company obtained ground tenancy rights related to three properties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which provide for contingent rent participation by the lessor in certain capital transactions and net operating cash flows of the properties after certain returns are achieved by the Company. Such amounts, if any, will be reflected as contingent rent when incurred. The leases also provide for payment by the Company of certain operating costs relating to the land, primarily real estate taxes. The above schedule of future minimum rental payments does not include any contingent rent amounts or any reimbursed expenses.

Put Agreement

On May 4, 2015, the Company entered into a put agreement in the ordinary course of business that grants an unaffiliated third party the unilateral option to require the Company to purchase a property, at a predetermined price, until May 4, 2018. In addition to the $35.0 million purchase price, the Company would be responsible for transaction and closing costs. There can be no assurance that the counterparty will exercise the option.

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

On April 2, 2015, the Company purchased 618 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The allocated purchase price included contingent consideration of $2.0 million payable to the seller upon commencement of development. The liability was recorded at a fair value of $1.6 million and will accrete through interest expense to $2.0 million over the expected period until development is commenced. The fair value of this contingent consideration was determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The significant inputs to the discounted cash flow model were the discount rate and weighted probability scenarios. As the inputs are unobservable, the Company determined the inputs used to value this liability fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting. As of December 31, 2016, the liability had accreted to $1.7 million. As there were no significant changes to the inputs, the liability remains within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

Debt Guarantees

As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures had aggregate indebtedness to third parties of $997.5 million.  These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to the Company.  In addition, in certain instances, the Company provides non-recourse carve-out guarantees on these non-recourse loans. As of December 31, 2016, the loans for which there is recourse to the Company consists of the following: (i) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the $56.0 million construction loan for TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; (ii) a several cost overrun guaranty on the $88.9 million construction loan for the development project being undertaken by 1919 Market Street LP; and (iii) a $0.4 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," in the notes to the financial statements for more information. On January 31, 2017, the Company sold its 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” in the notes to the financial statements for further information.

Other Commitments or Contingencies

On July 1, 2016, the Company closed on the acquisition of 34.6 acres of land located in Austin, Texas known as the Garza Ranch. The Company is currently under agreement to sell 9.5 acres (of the 34.6 acres) to two unaffiliated third parties.  In connection with the agreements of sale, the Company entered into a development agreement and related completion guarantee to construct certain infrastructure improvements to the land on behalf of each buyer, estimated to cost $10.3 million. Total estimated costs related to the improvements are included in the sale price of each land parcel. Recognition of the profit earned upon sale of the land parcels is deferred until the improvements are completed. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” in the notes to the financial statements for additional information relating to the sale of the 1.7 acres of land at Garza Ranch.

On December 3, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement as development manager to construct Subaru of America’s (“Subaru”) corporate headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. The agreement provides the Company with the ability to earn additional profit if total project costs are less than the not-to-exceed (“NTE”) amount.  The NTE amount, currently at $78.1 million, may be adjusted by change orders agreed upon by both Subaru and the Company.  If construction costs are in excess of the NTE amount, the Company is obligated to pay such cost overruns. The terms of the guarantee do not provide a limitation on the costs the Company may be responsible for. As of December 31, 2016, the Company does not expect to incur costs in excess of the NTE amount.

Also on December 3, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to construct an 83,000 square foot build-to-suit service center(the “Subaru NSTC Development”)on land parcels owned by the Company for Subaru of America as the single tenant. On such date, Subaru of America entered into an 18-year lease for the service center.The lease contains a purchase option, which allows Subaru to purchase the property at commencement of the lease, or five years subsequent to inception, at depreciated cost.The Company currently expects to deliver the building during thesecond quarterof 2018. At December 31, 2016, $10.5 million of the project costs, totaling $29.3 million, had been funded.

As part of the Company’s September 2004 acquisition of a portfolio of properties from The Rubenstein Company (which the Company refers to as the “TRC acquisition”), the Company acquired its interest in Two Logan Square, a 708,844 square foot office building in Philadelphia, primarily through its ownership of a second and third mortgage secured by this property. This property is consolidated, as the borrower is a variable interest entity and the Company, through its ownership of the second and third mortgages, is the primary beneficiary. The Company currently does not expect to take title to Two Logan Square until, at the earliest, January 2020. If the Company takes fee title to Two Logan Square upon a foreclosure of its mortgage, the Company has agreed to pay an unaffiliated third party that holds a residual interest in the fee owner of this property an amount equal to $2.9 million. On the TRC acquisition date, the Company recorded a liability of $0.7 million and this amount will accrete up to $2.9 million through January 2020. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a balance of $2.2 million for this liability in its consolidated balance sheet.

As part of the Company’s 2006 merger with Prentiss Properties Trust (“Prentiss”), the 2004 TRC acquisition and several of our other transactions, the Company agreed not to sell certain of the properties it acquired in transactions that would trigger taxable income to the former owners. In the case of the TRC acquisition, the Company agreed not to sell acquired properties in non-exempt transactions for periods up to 15 years from the date of the TRC acquisition as follows at December 31, 2016: One Logan Square, Two Logan Square and Radnor Corporate Center (January, 2020). In the Prentiss acquisition, the Company assumed the obligation of Prentiss not to sell Concord Airport Plaza before March, 2018. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” for further information regarding the like-kind exchange under Section 1031. The Company’s agreements generally provide that it may dispose of the subject properties only in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or in other tax deferred transactions. If the Company were to sell a restricted property before expiration of the restricted period in a non-exempt transaction, the Company may be required to make significant payments to the parties who sold the applicable property on account of tax liabilities attributed to them. Similarly, as part of the 2013 acquisition of substantially all of the equity interests in the partnerships that own One and Two Commerce Square, the Company agreed, for the benefit of affiliates of the holder of the 1% residual ownership interest in these properties, to not sell these two properties in certain taxable transactions prior to October 20, 2021 without the holder’s consent.

As part of the Company’s acquisition of properties from time to time in tax-deferred transactions, the Company has agreed to provide certain of the prior owners of the acquired properties with the right to guarantee the Company’s indebtedness. If the Company were to seek to repay the indebtedness guaranteed by the prior owner before the expiration of the applicable agreement, the Company would be required to provide the prior owner an opportunity to guaranty qualifying replacement debt. These debt maintenance agreements may limit the Company’s ability to refinance indebtedness on terms favorable to the Company. As part of our 2013 acquisition of substantially all of the equity interests in the partnerships that own One and Two Commerce Square, the Company agreed, for the benefit of affiliates of the holder of the 1% residual ownership interest in these properties, to maintain qualifying mortgage debt through October 20, 2021, in the amounts of not less than $125.0 million on One Commerce Square and $100.0 million on Two Commerce Square.  Similarly, the Company has agreements in place with other contributors of assets that obligate it to maintain debt available for them to guaranty.

The Company invests in its properties and regularly incurs capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business to maintain the properties. The Company believes that such expenditures enhance its competitiveness. The Company also enters into construction, utility and service contracts in the ordinary course of business which may extend beyond one year. These contracts typically provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Concord Airport Plaza Sale

On February 2, 2017, the Company completed the disposition of two office properties located at 1200 and 1220 Concord Avenue, in Concord, California, containing 350,256 net rentable square feet, for a gross sales price of $33.1 million.  As the properties were impaired to fair value during the fourth quarter of 2016, there is an estimated gain of $0.5 million on sale.

The sale is designated as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and, as such, the proceeds, totaling $32.0 million after closing costs and prorations, were delivered to a Qualified Intermediary, as defined under the IRC.

The Parc at Plymouth Meeting Venture Sale

On January 31, 2017, the Company sold its 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P., a 50/50 real estate venture with Toll Brothers, at a gross sales value of $100.5 million.  The venture developed and operates a 398-unit multi-family complex in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania encumbered by a $54.0 million construction loan. The construction loan was repaid commensurate with the sale of the Company’s 50% interest. As a result, the Company is no longer subject to a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the construction loan. The cash proceeds, after the payment of the Company’s share of the debt and closing costs, was $27.2 million.  As the carrying amount of the Company’s investment at the time of sale is $23.3 million, the estimated gain is $14.6 million.

Garza Land Sale

On January 30, 2017, the Company disposed of 1.7 acres of land located in Austin, Texas, known as the Garza Ranch, for a sales price of $3.5 million. The land did not meet the criteria to be classified as a sale as of December 31, 2016. The Company has a continuing involvement through a completion guaranty, which requires the Company as developer to complete certain infrastructure improvements on behalf of the buyers of the land parcels. The cash received at settlement was recorded as “deferred income, gains and rent” on the Company’s balance sheet and the Company will recognize the sale once the infrastructure improvements are complete.

At-the-Market Offering

On January 10, 2017, the Company entered into a continuous offering program, under which it may sell up to an aggregate of 16,000,000 common shares until January 10, 2020 in at the market offerings.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their endeavors without additional financial support or that the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct those matters that most significantly impacted the activities of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For entities that the Company has the obligations to fund losses, its maximum exposure to loss is not limited to the carrying amount of its investments.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures had aggregate indebtedness to third parties of $997.5 million.  These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to the Company.  As of December 31, 2016, the loans for which there is recourse to the Company consists of the following: (i) a $52.5 million payment guaranty on the term loan for evo at Cira; (ii) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the $56.0 million construction loan for TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; (iii) a joint and several cost overrun guaranty on the $88.9 million construction loan for the development project being undertaken by 1919 Market Street LP; and (iv) a $0.4 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII. On January 31, 2017, the Company sold its 50% interest in TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments, L.P. and the Company’s $3.2 million guarantee was cancelled. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” for further information.

When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company consolidates entities for which it has significant decision making control over the entity’s operations. The Company’s judgement with respect to its level of influence or control of an entity involves consideration of various factors including the form of the Company’s ownership interest, its representation in the entity’s governance, the size of its investment (including loans), estimates of future cash flows, its ability to participate in policy making decisions and the rights of the other investors to participate in the decision making process and to replace the Company as manager and/or liquidate the venture, if applicable. The Company’s assessment of its influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition to evaluating control rights, the Company consolidates entities in which the outside partner has no substantive kick-out rights to remove the Company as managing member. The Company continuously assesses its determination of the primary beneficiary for each entity and assesses reconsideration events that may cause a change in the original determinations. The portion of the consolidated entities that is not owned by the Company is presented as non-controlling interest as of and during the periods consolidated. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company included in its consolidated balance sheets consolidated VIEs having total assets of $417.1 million and $422.9 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $254.6 million and $258.2 million, respectively.  

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue, valuation of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, impairment of long-lived assets, land held for development, allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred costs.

Operating Properties

Operating Properties

Operating properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of operating properties reflects their purchase price or development cost. Acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred, whereas the costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized as incurred.  Costs incurred for the renovation and betterment of an operating property are capitalized to the Company’s investment in that property. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Purchase Price Allocation

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company allocates the purchase price of properties considered to be business combinations to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease (including the below market fixed renewal period, if applicable). Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, including any below market fixed-rate renewal option periods that are considered probable.

Other intangible assets also include in-place leases based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate bargain renewal periods. Company estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers or by using independent appraisals. Factors considered by the Company in this analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rents at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from four to twelve months. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company also uses the information obtained as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence as part of its consideration of the accounting standard governing asset retirement obligations and when necessary, will record a conditional asset retirement obligation as part of its purchase price.  The Company also evaluates tenant relationships on a tenant-specific basis.  On certain of the Company’s acquisitions this intangible has been deemed immaterial, in which case no related intangible asset value is assigned.

In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, is charged to expense and market rate adjustments (above or below) are recorded to revenue.

The Company records development acquisitions that do not meet the accounting criteria to be accounted for as business combinations at the purchase price paid. Costs directly associated with development acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and Amortization

The costs of buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives: buildings and improvements (5 to 55 years) and tenant improvements (the shorter of (i) the life of the asset, 1 to 16 years, or (ii) the lease term).

Construction-in-Progress

Construction-in-Progress

Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of a real estate project are capitalized as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress also includes costs related to ongoing tenant improvement projects. In addition, interest, real estate taxes and other expenses that are directly associated with the Company’s development activities are capitalized until the property is placed in service. Interest expense is capitalized using the Company’s average interest rate. Internal direct costs are capitalized to projects in which qualifying expenditures are being incurred.  Internal direct construction costs totaling $6.7 million in 2016, $7.3 million in 2015, $5.2 million in 2014 and interest totaling $10.9 million in 2016, $10.2 million in 2015, and $4.8 million in 2014 were capitalized related to development of certain properties and land holdings.

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s internal direct construction costs are comprised entirely of capitalized salaries.  The following table shows the amount of compensation costs (including bonuses and benefits) capitalized for the years presented (in thousands):

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment following the end of each quarter using cash flow projections and estimated fair values for each of the properties included within its impairment analysis. The Company updates leasing and other assumptions regularly, paying particular attention to properties where there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impairment in value. Additionally, the Company considers strategic decisions regarding the future development plans for property under development and other market factors. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company analyzes recoverability based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the operations and eventual disposition of the assets over, in most cases, a 10-year hold period. If there is significant possibility that the Company will dispose of assets earlier, it analyzes the recoverability using a probability weighted analysis of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the operations and eventual disposition of each asset using various possible hold periods. If the recovery analysis indicates that the carrying value of the tested property is not recoverable, the property is written down to its fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. In such case, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. If and when the Company’s plans change, it revises its recoverability analysis to use cash flows expected from operations and eventual disposition of each asset using hold periods that are consistent with its revised plans.

Estimated cash flows used in such analysis are based on the Company’s plans for the property and its views of market economic conditions. The estimates consider factors such as current and future rental rates, occupancies for the tested property and comparable properties, estimated operating and capital expenditures and recent sales data for comparable properties; most of these factors are influenced by market data obtained from real estate leasing and brokerage firms and the Company’s direct experience with the properties and their markets.

The Company generally considers assets to be “held for sale” when the transaction has been approved by its Board of Trustees, or by officers vested with authority to approve the transaction, and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale of the property within one year of the consideration date and the consummation of the transaction is otherwise considered probable. When a property is designated as held for sale, the Company stops depreciating the property and estimate the property’s fair value, net of selling costs. If the determination is made that the estimated fair value, net of selling costs, is less than the net carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recognized, reducing the net carrying value of the property to estimated fair value less selling costs. For periods in which a property is classified as held for sale, the Company classifies the assets of the property as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet for such periods.

The relevant accounting guidance for impairments requires that qualifying assets and liabilities and the results of operations that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as “held for sale,” be presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The components of the property’s net income that is reflected as discontinued operations include the net gain (or loss) upon the disposition of the property held for sale, operating results, depreciation and interest expense (if the property is subject to a secured loan).

Impairment of Land Held for Development

Impairment of Land Held for Development

When demand for build-to-suit office space declines and the ability to sell land held for development deteriorates, or other market factors indicate a possible impairment in the recoverability of land held for development, it is reviewed for impairment by comparing its fair value to its carrying value. If the estimated sales value is less than the carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash equivalents in money market accounts with financial institutions in excess of insured limits, but believes this risk is mitigated by only investing in or through major financial institutions. The Company does not invest its available cash balances in money market funds, as such available cash balances are appropriately reflected as cash and cash equivalents on its consolidated balance sheet.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash held as collateral to provide credit enhancement for the Company’s mortgage debt, cash for property taxes, capital expenditures and tenant improvements. Escrows also include cash held by qualified intermediaries for possible investments in like-kind exchanges in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with sales of the Company’s properties. Restricted cash is included in the “Other assets” caption in the consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable And Accrued Rent Receivable

Accounts Receivable and Accrued Rent Receivable

Generally, leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum annual rentals under tenant leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under the straight-line method and contractual lease payment terms is recorded as “Accrued rent receivable, net” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Included in current tenant receivables are tenant reimbursements which are comprised of amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses that are recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, no tenant represented more than 10% of accounts receivable and accrued rent receivable.

Tenant receivables and accrued rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for doubtful accounts of $2.4 million and $13.7 million in 2016, respectively, and $1.7 million and $14.5 million in 2015, respectively. The allowance is an estimate based on two calculations that are combined to determine the total amount reserved. First, the Company evaluates specific accounts where it has determined that a tenant may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these situations, the Company uses its judgment, based on the facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that tenant against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that the Company expects to collect. These reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information becomes available. Second, a reserve is established for all tenants based on a range of percentages applied to receivable aging categories for tenant receivables. For accrued rent receivables, the Company considers the results of the evaluation of specific accounts and also considers other factors including assigning risk factors to different industries based on its tenants Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Considering various factors including assigning a risk factor to different industries, these percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience adjusted for current market conditions, which requires management’s judgments.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

Under the equity method, investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings, cash contributions, distributions and impairments. For Real Estate Ventures that are constructing assets to commence planned principal operations, the Company capitalizes interest expense using the Company’s weighted average interest rate of consolidated debt and its investment balance as a basis. Planned principal operations commence when a property is available to lease and at that point in time the Company ceases capitalizing interest to its investment basis. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company capitalized interest expense of $1.9 million. In each of the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company capitalized interest expense of $2.0 million.

On a periodic basis, management also assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures may be other than temporarily impaired. An investment is impaired only if the value of the investment, as estimated by management, is less than the carrying value of the investment and the decline is other than temporary. To the extent that an impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment, as estimated by management. The determination as to whether an impairment exists requires significant management judgment about the fair value of its ownership interest. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals.

When the Company acquires an interest in or contributes assets to a real estate venture project, the difference between the Company’s cost basis in the investment and the value of the real estate venture or asset contributed is amortized over the life of the related assets, intangibles and liabilities and such adjustment is included in the Company’s share of equity in income of unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures. For purposes of cash flow presentation, distributions from unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures are presented as part of operating activities when they are considered as return on investments. Distributions in excess of the Company’s share in the cumulative unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures’ earnings are considered as return of investments and are presented as part of investing activities in accordance with the accounting standard for cash flow presentation.

Deferred Costs

Deferred Costs

Costs incurred in connection with property leasing are capitalized as deferred leasing costs. Deferred leasing costs consist primarily of leasing commissions and internal leasing costs that are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease which generally ranges from 1 to 16 years. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as economic and market conditions change.

Notes Receivable

Notes Receivable

The Company accounts for notes receivable on its balance sheet at amortized cost, net of allowance for loan losses. Interest income is recognized over the term of the notes receivable and is calculated based on the terms on the contractual terms of each note agreement.

Notes receivable are placed on nonaccrual status when management determines, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the loans are impaired or collection of interest is doubtful. Uncollectible interest previously accrued is recognized as bad debt expense. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received.

A note receivable was given to an unaffiliated third party during the third quarter of 2016 to facilitate its acquisition and development of an industrial facility located in Pennsauken, New Jersey. The loan matures three years after the payment commencement date, which is 90 days after substantial completion of the development, and bears interest at 6.3% during year one, 7.0% during year two and 8.0% during year three. The Company evaluated its investment in the note receivable under ASC 310, Receivables and determined that the loan was provided at market terms and the Company does not participate in the residual profit of the unaffiliated third party. Accordingly, the investment, totaling $3.4 million as of December 31, 2016, has been classified on the Company’s balance sheet as a note receivable within the “Other assets” caption on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with debt financing are capitalized as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt, except for costs capitalized related to the Company’s revolving credit facility, which are capitalized within “deferred costs, net” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs are charged to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements. Deferred financing costs consist primarily of loan fees which are amortized over the related loan term on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs are accelerated, when debt is extinguished, as part of “Interest expense-amortization of deferred financing costs” within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Original issue discounts are recognized as part of the gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, as appropriate.  

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases from the later of the date of the commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to existing leases. The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by approximately $26.3 million in 2016, $21.6 million in 2015 and $13.7 million in 2014. Deferred rents on the balance sheet represent rental revenue received prior to their due dates and amounts paid by the tenant for certain improvements considered to be landlord assets that will remain as the Company’s property at the end of the tenant’s lease term. The amortization of the amounts paid by the tenant for such improvements is calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the tenant’s lease and is a component of straight-line rental income and increased revenue by $2.1 million in 2016, $2.0 million in 2015 and $2.4 million in 2014. Lease incentives, which are included as reductions of rental revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives decreased revenue by $2.0 million in 2016, $1.8 million in 2015, and $1.5 million in 2014.

In addition, the Company’s rental revenue is impacted by the Company’s determination of whether improvements to the properties, whether made by the Company or by the tenant, are landlord assets. The determination of whether an improvement is a landlord asset requires judgment.  In making this judgment, the Company’s primary consideration is whether the improvement would be utilizable by another tenant upon move out of the improved space by the then-existing tenant. If the Company has funded an improvement that it determines not to be landlord assets, then it treats the cost of the improvement as a lease incentive. If the tenant has funded the improvement that the Company determines to be landlord assets, then the Company treats the costs of the improvement as deferred revenue and amortizes this cost into revenue over the lease term. For certain leases, the Company makes significant assumptions and judgments in determining the lease term, including assumptions when the lease provides the tenant with an early termination option. The lease term impacts the period over which the Company determines and records minimum rents and also impacts the period over which the Company amortizes lease-related costs.

The Company’s leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of a portion of common area maintenance expenses and other operating expenses to the extent that a tenant’s pro rata share of expenses exceeds a base year level set in the lease or to the extent that the tenant has a lease on a triple net basis.

Recoveries from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance expenses, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period during which the expenses are incurred.

Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented in accordance with accounting guidance which requires that these reimbursements be recorded on a gross basis because the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to the goods and services the purchase of which gives rise to the reimbursement obligation; because the Company has discretion in selecting the vendors and suppliers; and because the Company bears the credit risk in the event they do not reimburse the Company. The Company also receives payments from third parties for reimbursement of a portion of the payroll and payroll-related costs for certain of the Company’s personnel allocated to perform services for these third parties and reflects these payments on a gross basis.

The Company recognizes gains on sales of real estate at times and in amounts determined in accordance with the accounting guidance for sales of real estate. The guidance takes into account the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement, including in the form of management, leasing of space or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria for the full accrual method are not met, then the Company defers some or all of the gain recognition and accounts for the continued operations of the property by applying the finance, leasing, profit sharing, deposit, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, until the sales criteria are met.

The Company derives parking revenues from leases, monthly parking and transient parking. The Company recognizes parking revenue as earned.

The Company receives leasing commission income, property management fees and third party development fees. Leasing commission income is earned based on a percentage of gross rental income upon a tenant signing a lease with a third party lessor. Property management fees are recorded and earned based on a percentage of collected rents at the properties under management, and not on a straight-line basis, because such fees are contingent upon the collection of rents. The Company records development fees on a percentage of completion basis taking into account the risk associated with each project.

The Company recognizes fees received for lease terminations as revenue and writes off against such revenue any deferred rents receivable. The resulting net amount is the net revenue from the early termination of the leases. When a tenant's lease for space in a property is terminated early but the tenant continues to lease such space under a new or modified lease in the property, the net revenue from the early termination of the lease is recognized evenly over the remaining life of the new or modified lease in place on that property, unless the Company cannot determine that collectability of the lease termination revenue is reasonably assured.

No tenant represented greater than 10% of the Company’s rental revenue in 2016, 2015 or 2014.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Parent Company

The Parent Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to continue to qualify as a REIT, the Parent Company is required to, among other things, distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. As a REIT, the Parent Company is not subject to federal and state income taxes with respect to the portion of its income that meets certain criteria and is distributed annually to its shareholders. Accordingly, a nominal provision for federal and state income taxes is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the operations of the Parent Company. The Parent Company intends to continue to operate in a manner that allows it to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal and state income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent tax years. The Parent Company is subject to certain local income taxes. Provision for such taxes has been included in general and administrative expenses in the Parent Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The tax basis of the Parent Company’s assets was $3.0 billion and $3.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Parent Company is subject to a 4% federal excise tax if sufficient taxable income is not distributed within prescribed time limits. The excise tax equals 4% of the annual amount, if any, by which the sum of (a) 85% of the Parent Company’s ordinary income and (b) 95% of the Parent Company’s net capital gain exceeds cash distributions and certain taxes paid by the Parent Company. No excise tax was incurred in 2016, 2015 or 2014.

The Parent Company has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). A TRS is subject to federal, state and local income tax. In general, a TRS may perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that the Parent Company, as a REIT, cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries did not have significant tax provisions or deferred income tax items as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act) was enacted in December 2015, and included numerous law changes applicable to REITs.  The provisions have various effective dates beginning as early as 2016.  The changes have not materially impacted the Company’s operations, but the Company will continue to monitor as regulatory guidance is issued.

Operating Partnership

In general, the Operating Partnership is not subject to federal and state income taxes, and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The partners of the Operating Partnership are required to include their respective share of the Operating Partnership’s profits or losses in their respective tax returns. The Operating Partnership’s tax returns and the amount of allocable Partnership profits and losses are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such examination results in changes to the Operating Partnership profits or losses, then the tax liability of the partners would be changed accordingly.

The tax basis of the Operating Partnership’s assets was $3.0 billion and $3.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Operating Partnership may elect to treat one or more of its subsidiaries as REITs under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. Each subsidiary REIT has met the requirements for treatment as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and, accordingly, no provision has been made for federal and state income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If any subsidiary REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, that subsidiary REIT will be subject to federal and state income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Also, each subsidiary REIT may be subject to certain local income taxes.

The Operating Partnership has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as TRSs, which are subject to federal, state and local income tax.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders, as adjusted for unallocated earnings, if any, of certain securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable in connection with awards under share-based compensation plans, including upon the exercise of stock options, and conversion of the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.  Anti-dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation.

Earnings Per Unit

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders, as adjusted for unallocated earnings, if any, of certain securities issued by the Operating Partnership, by the weighted average number of common unit equivalents outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares issuable in connection with awards under share-based compensation plans, including upon the exercise of stock options. Anti-dilutive units are excluded from the calculation.

Share-Based Compensation Plans

Share-Based Compensation Plans

The Parent Company maintains a shareholder-approved equity-incentive plan known as the Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “1997 Plan”). The 1997 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees. Under the 1997 Plan, the Compensation Committee is authorized to award equity and equity-based awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted shares and performance-based shares. On June 2, 2010, the Parent Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the 1997 Plan that, among other things, increased the number of common shares available for future awards under the 1997 Plan by 6,000,000 (of which 3,600,000 shares are available solely for options and share appreciation rights). As of December 31, 2016, 4,295,559 common shares remained available for future awards under the 1997 Plan (including 2,377,778 shares available solely for options and share appreciation rights).

The Company incurred share-based compensation expense of $5.6 million during 2016, of which $1.0 million was capitalized as part of the Company’s review of employee salaries eligible for capitalization. The Company incurred share-based compensation expense of $7.3 million and $6.1 million during 2015 and 2014, of which $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, were also capitalized. The expensed amounts are included in general and administrative expense on the Company’s consolidated income statement in the respective periods.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is recorded in accordance with the provisions of the accounting standard for comprehensive income. The accounting standard establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income includes the effective portions of changes in the fair value of derivatives.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with the accounting standard for derivative and hedging activities. The accounting standard requires the Company to measure every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. See disclosures below related to the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income while the ineffective portions are recognized in earnings.

The Company actively manages its ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt. To manage its fixed and floating rate debt in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from time to time, enters into interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges, under which it agrees to exchange various combinations of fixed and/or variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The Company estimates the fair value of its derivatives in accordance with the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures. The accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;

• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity or information.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Non-financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a business combination and the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets measured at fair value.  The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets and equity method investments for other than temporary impairment. Any impairments recorded on equity method investments would be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair values assigned to the Company's purchase price allocations primarily utilize Level 3 inputs. The fair value assigned to the long-lived assets for which there was impairment recorded utilize Level 3 inputs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business for purposes of determining when an acquisition (or disposition) should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition (or disposition) under the relevant accounting guidance.  The amendments in the update provide a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business.  The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, the amendments in the update require that: (i) to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (ii) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments provide a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The framework includes two groups of criteria to consider that depend on whether a set has outputs. Although outputs are not required for a set to be a business, outputs generally are a key element of a business; therefore, the update provides more stringent criteria for sets without outputs. The guidance is applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for transactions which have not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. Properties acquired by the Company will most likely qualify as asset acquisitions under the new guidance compared to deemed business combinations under the previous accounting guidance. As a result, acquired property will be measured at cost, which generally includes transaction costs, the one year measurement period to determine the value of acquired contingencies does not apply to asset acquisitions and the disclosure requirements will change.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts described as restricted cash or cash equivalents.  Beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows should include restricted cash, cash equivalents and amounts described as restricted cash or cash equivalents. The guidance does not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The areas addressed in the new guidance related to debt prepayment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned and bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investments, beneficial interest in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method.  The Company elected to early adopt this guidance resulting in a reclassification of debt extinguishment costs from operating activities to financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016. There was no other impact from the adoption of this guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current incurred loss model with an expected loss approach, resulting in a more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted after December 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance and determined that the adoption of the guidance will have an impact on the Company’s estimation of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has not quantified the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued guidance amending the revenue from contracts with customers standard issued in May 2014 (and not yet effective). The amendments are intended to address implementation issues that were raised by stakeholders and discussed by the Joint Transition Resource Group, and provide additional practical expedients on collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and contract modifications and completed contracts at transition.In accordance with the FASB election to defer the effective date of the revenue recognition standard by one year, reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of its original effective date or for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Calendar year-end reporting entities are therefore required to apply the new revenue guidance beginning in their 2018 interim and annual financial statements.The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance and has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. At this point in time:

• The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition, primarily because most of its revenue is from rental revenue.  

• The Company is analyzing its tenant reimbursement revenue to determine if the performance obligations set forth in the Company’s lease agreements will change the revenue recognition pattern. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the recognition of tenant reimbursement revenue.

• The Company expects to identify similar performance obligations under this standard as compared with deliverables and separate units of account previously identified for leasing commissions, management fees and other sundry revenues. As a result, the Company expects the timing of its leasing commissions, management fees and other sundry revenues to remain the same.  

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The new guidance allows for entities to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. In addition, the guidance allows employers to withhold shares to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements up to the employees’ maximum individual tax rate without causing the award to be classified as a liability. The guidance also stipulates that cash paid by an employer to a taxing authority when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company has determined that this accounting guidance has no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Also in March 2016, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that a novation of party to a derivative instrument, whereby one of the parties to a derivative instrument is replaced with another party, does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge criteria continue to be met.  The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity has an option to apply the amendments either on a prospective basis or on a modified retrospective basis. The Company has determined that this accounting guidance has no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance modifying the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification.  Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in the same manner as operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The guidance supersedes previously issued guidance under ASC Topic 840 “Leases.” The guidance is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is expected to have the following impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

• The Company is in the process of separating lease components due under its leases from non-lease components. Under ASC 842 as a lessor, lease components will be recognized on a straight line basis, while non-lease components will be recognized in accordance with the new revenue standard. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

• The Company’s tenant reimbursement revenues generated from common area and maintenance services that are provided to its tenants are considered a non-lease component that must be separated, allocated based on the transaction price allocation guidance and accounted for according to the new revenue standard.  

• ASC 842 is expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has certain operating land lease arrangements for which it is the lessee.

• The Company will expense additional costs related to leasing efforts under ASC 842 compared to the previous GAAP because certain activities performed by personnel involved in the leasing process will no longer be considered incremental costs to execute a lease agreement.

• The Company’s equity-method investments are required to adopt the standard in accordance with public timeline. The Company anticipates the impact of ASC 842 will be similar the items described above.  

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Before this new standard, there was minimal guidance in U.S. GAAP specific to going concern. Under the new standard, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance during the fourth quarter of 2016, which had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued the Revenue from Contracts with Customers standard requiring revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods and services. The standard requires the disclosure of sufficient quantitative and qualitative information for financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and associated cashflows arising from contracts with customers.On July 9, 2015, the FASB elected to defer the effective date of this revenue recognition standard by one year. Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date or for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Calendar year-end reporting entities are therefore required to apply the new revenue guidance beginning in their 2018 interim and annual financial statements. See above for disclosure of the expected impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company anticipates the impact to its equity method investments will be similar.

(a) Ownership percentage represents the Company’s entitlement to residual distributions after payments of priority returns, where applicable.

(b) See “Brandywine AI Venture: 3141 Fairview Park Drive” section below for information discussing activity that occurred during 2016 relating to this venture.

(c) The debt for these properties is comprised of three fixed rate mortgages: (1) $37.9 million with a 4.40% fixed interest rate due January 1, 2019, (2) $27.1 million with a 4.65% fixed interest rate due January 1, 2022, and (3) $66.5 million with a 3.22% fixed interest rate due August 1, 2019, resulting in a time weighted average rate of 3.96%.

(d) The basis differences associated with these ventures are allocated between cost and the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee and is accounted for as if the entity were consolidated (i.e., allocated to the Company’s relative share of assets and liabilities with an adjustment to recognize equity in earnings for the appropriate depreciation/amortization). The Company increased its ownership interest in the HSRE-BDN I, LLC venture (also referred to as the “Evo at Cira South Venture”) to 50% on March 2, 2016. On June 10, 2016, HSRE-BDN I, LLC refinanced its debt.  See “Evo at Cira South Venture” section below for further details on these transactions.

(e) The debt for these properties includes seven mortgages: (1) $33.9 million that was swapped to a 1.59% fixed rate (or an all-in fixed rate of 3.52% incorporating the 1.93% spread) due November 1, 2018, (2) $54.7 million that was swapped to a 1.49% fixed rate (or an all-in rate of 3.19% incorporating the 1.70% spread) due October 15, 2018, (3) $137.0 million  that was swapped to a 1.43% fixed rate (for an all-in fixed rate of 3.44% incorporating the 2.01% spread) due November 1, 2018, (4) $29.0 million with a 4.50% fixed interest rate due April 6, 2019, (5) $34.3 million with a 3.87% fixed interest rate due August 6, 2019, (6) $86.7 million that was swapped to a 1.36% fixed rate (or all-in fixed rate of 3.36% incorporating the 2.00% spread) due February 10, 2020, and (7) $30.0 million with a rate of LIBOR + 1.85% with a cap of 2.75% due January 1, 2021, resulting in a time and dollar weighted average rate of 3.36%.

(f) In order to fulfill interest rate protection requirements, a LIBOR interest rate cap of 1.75% was purchased, effective February 3, 2016 and maturing February 9, 2018, for a notional amount of $200.8 million. There are three options to extend the maturity date of the debt for three successive terms, each year representing a separate option.

(g) The Company liquidated its 25% ownership interest in the PJP V real estate venture on September 22, 2016. On June 30, 2016, the Company liquidated its 50% ownership interest in the venture known as 1000 Chesterbrook.

(i) The stated rate for the construction loan is LIBOR + 2.00%. It is further reduced to 1.75% upon reaching 90% residential occupancy and commencement of the lease in the retail space.  To fulfill interest rate protection requirements, an interest rate cap was purchased at 4.50%.

(j) Comprised of two fixed rate mortgages totaling $8.0 million that mature on March 1, 2017 and accrue interest at a current rate of 7.00%, a $0.8 million 3.00% fixed rate loan through its September 1, 2025 maturity, a $2.0 million 4.00% fixed rate loan with interest only through its February 7, 2017 maturity and a $3.9 million 3.25% fixed rate loan with interest only beginning March 11, 2018 through its March 11, 2020 maturity, resulting in a time and dollar weighted average rate of 3.42%.

In addition, certain acquisition, transaction and other costs may not be reflected in the net assets at the Real Estate Venture level.

(b) Does not include the negative investment balance of one real estate venture totaling $1.1 million as of December 31, 2015, which is included in other liabilities.

(a) On August 31, 2016, the Company deconsolidated 3141 Fairview Park Drive and began accounting for it under the equity method of accounting as part of Brandywine - AI Venture LLC, an unconsolidated real estate venture in which the Company holds a 50% interest. At December 31, 2015, this balance represented the full debt amount of the property, as it was consolidated at that time. See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further details.

(b) On April 7, 2016, the Company closed on an $86.9 million first mortgage financing on Two Logan Square, a 708,844-square foot office property located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Proceeds of the loan were used to repay, without penalty, the $86.6 million principal balance of the former Two Logan Square first mortgage loan, which had a 7.57% effective interest rate.

(c) This loan was assumed upon acquisition of the related properties on December 19, 2013. On December 29, 2015, the Company refinanced the debt increasing the principal balance to $130.0 million and extended the term from the scheduled maturity from January 6, 2016 to April 5, 2023.  The effective interest rate as of December 31, 2015 was 3.64%.  A default under this loan will also constitute a default under the loan outstanding on Two Commerce Square. This loan is also secured by a lien on Two Commerce Square.

(d) This loan was assumed upon acquisition of the related property on December 19, 2013. The interest rate reflects the market rate at the time of acquisition. A default under this loan will also constitute a default under the loan outstanding on One Commerce Square. This loan is also secured by a lien on One Commerce Square.

(e) On January 14, 2016, the Company funded $265.8 million to prepay two mortgage loans, consisting of $176.9 million of principal repayment, $44.5 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness on the office property located at 2970 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania commonly known as 30^th Street Main Post Office (“Cira Square”), ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030. Also on January 14, 2016, the Company funded $44.4 million, consisting of $35.5 million of principal repayment, $8.9 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness of a 1,662 parking space facility located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania commonly known as (“Cira South Garage”), ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030. These repayments were financed with $195.0 million of funds available under the Credit Facility with the remaining balance funded through available cash balances. The Company recognized a $66.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt, consisting of the prepayment charges along with $10.8 million and $2.4 million related to non-cash charges for deferred financing costs for Cira Square and Cira South Garage, respectively.

(f) On April 1, 2016, the entire principal balance of the unsecured 6.00% Guaranteed Notes was repaid upon maturity. Available cash balances were used to fund the repayment of the unsecured notes.

Land inventory	$	150,970	$	130,479	$	90,603

(a) As a result of the Och-Ziff Sale that occurred on February 4, 2016, the Company narrowed its segments to five segments: (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia Central Business District (“CBD”), (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and (4) Austin, Texas and (5) Other. The Och-Ziff Sale disposed of the entire Richmond, Virginia segment. Subsequent to the Och-Ziff Sale, the segments previously defined as New Jersey/Delaware and California are now being managed as a consolidated segment entitled “Other,” as these geographies no longer provide a significant revenue contribution. Accordingly, the chief operating decision maker revised the management structure, reallocated resources, and is assessing business operations of the five segments as of January 1, 2016.

(b) As of December 31, 2015, 2970 Market Street was classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. The property was sold on February 5, 2016. See Note 21, "Subsequent Events," for further information. The sale is not classified as a significant disposition under the accounting guidance for discontinued operations.

(c) As of December 31, 2015, the 58 properties associated with the series of related transactions with Och-Ziff Real Estate were classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. On February 4, 2016, the Company completed a series of transactions, resulting in the disposition of the properties. See Note 3, “Real Estate Investments,” for further information regarding the disposition. Additionally, as of December 31, 2016, the Company categorized three office properties located in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment and two properties in the Other segment as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. See Note 3, “Real Estate Investments,” for further information.

None of the above aforementioned sales or properties classified as held for sale are considered significant dispositions under the accounting guidance for discontinued operations.

(a) Includes property operating expense, real estate taxes and third party management expense.

(b) On June 22, 2015 the Company acquired the remaining 50.0% of the common interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates. As such, the Company has seven wholly owned properties in its Austin, Texas business segment at December 31, 2016. In addition, net operating income for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 includes management fees and related expenses for services provided by the Company to the Austin Venture.

(a) On August 31, 2016, the Company terminated its lease for the regional management and leasing office at 3141 Fairview Park Drive, located in Falls Church, Virginia. Accordingly, the Company no longer has any continuing involvement with 3141 Fairview Park Drive and recorded the partial sale under the full accrual method of accounting. See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information.

(b) The MAP Venture represents a joint venture formed between the Company and MAP Ground Lease Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group, LLC, on February 4, 2016. See Note 4 “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information. The MAP Venture’s business operations, including properties in Richmond, Virginia; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; New Jersey/Delaware and Pennsylvania Suburbs, are centrally managed with the results reported to management of the Company on a consolidated basis. As a result, the investment in the MAP Venture is separately presented. All other unconsolidated real estate ventures are managed consistently with the Company’s regional segments.

(c) See footnote (a) to the “Real estate investments, at cost” table above for further information regarding this segment.

(d) Investment in real estate ventures does not include the $1.1 million negative investment balance in one real estate venture as of December 31, 2015, which is included in other liabilities. The Company disposed of its interest in this venture during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information. The decrease to the Company’s investment balance primarily relates to distributions from the G&I VII Austin Office LLC real estate venture.

[1] Gain/(Loss) on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

[2] Gain on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

[3] Total gain on sale does not include a deferred gain of $0.5 million related to a prior sale.

[4] Gain/(Loss) on sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

[5] As of June 30, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of the property was probable and classified this property as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the property exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $1.8 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the property. As the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement is unobservable, the Company determined that the inputs utilized to determine fair value for this property falls within Level 3 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The loss on sale represents additional closing costs recognized at closing.

[6] During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $7.4 million on the properties. See “Held for Use Impairment” section below. The loss on sale primarily relates to additional closing costs recognized at closing.

[7] Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 10, 2016 contains a complete list of the 58 properties disposed of in the transactions with Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further details of the transactions.

[8] During the three-month period ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a provision for impairment totaling approximately $45.4 million. The loss on sale represents additional closing costs recognized at closing.

[9] On December 31, 2015, the Company contributed two newly constructed four-story, Class A office buildings, commonly known as “Encino Trace,” containing an aggregate of approximately 320,000 square feet in Austin, Texas to one of its existing real estate ventures (the “Austin Venture”) that the Company formed in 2013 with G&I VII Austin Office LLC, an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC (“DRA”). When these two properties were contributed to the Austin Venture the Company had incurred a total of $76.7 million of development costs, representing the contribution value. The project is expected to cost $91.3 million with remaining costs fully funded by the Austin Venture. In conjunction with the contribution: (i) the Austin Venture obtained a $30.0 million mortgage loan; (ii) DRA contributed $25.1 million in net cash to the capital of the Austin Venture, including a $1.8 million working capital contribution; and (iii) the Austin Venture distributed $50.2 million to the Company and credited the Company with a $23.3 million capital contribution to the Austin Venture. In addition to the contribution of the properties, the Company also made a $1.8 million cash contribution to the Austin Venture for working capital. The Company recognized a $2.0 million gain on the contribution. Under the Encino Trace loan agreement the Austin Venture has the option, subject to certain leasing and loan-to-value requirements, to borrow an additional $29.7 million to fund tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

[10] The Company recorded an impairment loss of $6.3 million for the Carlsbad office properties during the fourth quarter of 2015. As such, there was no gain at disposition for this property.

[11] The Company recorded an impairment loss of $0.8 million for 100 Gateway Centre Parkway during the second quarter of 2015. As such, there was no gain at disposition for this property.

[12] The Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.7 million for Lake Merritt Tower at March 31, 2015. As such, there was no gain at disposition for this property. Sales proceeds were deposited in escrow under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and applied to purchase the Broadmoor Austin portfolio.

[1] Gain/(Loss) on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

[3] Total gain on sale does not include a deferred gain of $0.5 million related to a prior sale.

[4] Gain/(Loss) on sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.

[5] On April 3, 2014, the Company contributed two three-story, Class A office buildings, commonly known as “Four Points Centre,” containing an aggregate of approximately 192,396 net rentable square feet in Austin, Texas to an existing real estate venture (the “Austin Venture”) that the Company formed in 2013 with G&I VII Austin Office LLC, an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC (“DRA”). The Company contributed the properties to the Austin Venture at an agreed upon value of $41.5 million. In conjunction with the contribution: (i) the Austin Venture obtained a $29.0 million mortgage loan; (ii) DRA contributed $5.9 million in net cash to the capital of the Austin Venture; and (iii) the Austin Venture distributed $34.4 million to the Company and credited the Company with a $5.9 million capital contribution to the Austin Venture. The Company incurred a $0.2 million loss on the contribution, driven primarily by closing costs.

[6] Does not include the negative investment balance of one real estate venture totaling $1.1 million as of December 31, 2015, which is included in other liabilities. The Company disposed of its interest in this venture on January 29, 2016. See “Coppell Associates” section below for further details.

[7] This amount includes 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.

[8] Ownership percentage represents the Company’s entitlement to residual distributions after payments of priority returns, where applicable.

[9] See “Brandywine AI Venture: 3141 Fairview Park Drive” section below for information discussing activity that occurred during 2016 relating to this venture.

[10] The Company liquidated its 25% ownership interest in the PJP V real estate venture on September 22, 2016. On June 30, 2016, the Company liquidated its 50% ownership interest in the venture known as 1000 Chesterbrook. The ownership interest in Invesco, L.P. was sold prior to December 31, 2015, and on August 19, 2016, the Company assigned its residual profits interest to the general partner of Invesco. The Company purchased the remaining 50% interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates on June 22, 2015. The ownership interest in Residence Inn Tower Bridge was sold on December 30, 2015. See below for further detail on 2016 dispositions.

[11] In order to fulfill interest rate protection requirements, a LIBOR interest rate cap of 1.75% was purchased, effective February 3, 2016 and maturing February 9, 2018, for a notional amount of $200.8 million. There are three options to extend the maturity date of the debt for three successive terms, each year representing a separate option.

[12] Carrying amount represents the negative investment balance of the venture that was included in other liabilities as of December 31, 2015. The ownership interest in this venture was disposed of on January 29, 2016.

[13] The basis differences associated with these ventures are allocated between cost and the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee and is accounted for as if the entity were consolidated (i.e., allocated to the Company’s relative share of assets and liabilities with an adjustment to recognize equity in earnings for the appropriate depreciation/amortization). The Company increased its ownership interest in the HSRE-BDN I, LLC venture (also referred to as the “Evo at Cira South Venture”) to 50% on March 2, 2016. On June 10, 2016, HSRE-BDN I, LLC refinanced its debt. See “Evo at Cira South Venture” section below for further details on these transactions.

[14] The stated rate for the construction loan is LIBOR + 2.00%. It is further reduced to 1.75% upon reaching 90% residential occupancy and commencement of the lease in the retail space. To fulfill interest rate protection requirements, an interest rate cap was purchased at 4.50%.

[1] On August 31, 2016, the Company deconsolidated 3141 Fairview Park Drive and began accounting for it under the equity method of accounting as part of Brandywine - AI Venture LLC, an unconsolidated real estate venture in which the Company holds a 50% interest. At December 31, 2015, this balance represented the full debt amount of the property, as it was consolidated at that time. See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further details.

[2] On April 7, 2016, the Company closed on an $86.9 million first mortgage financing on Two Logan Square, a 708,844-square foot office property located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Proceeds of the loan were used to repay, without penalty, the $86.6 million principal balance of the former Two Logan Square first mortgage loan, which had a 7.57% effective interest rate.

[3] This loan was assumed upon acquisition of the related properties on December 19, 2013. On December 29, 2015, the Company refinanced the debt increasing the principal balance to $130.0 million and extended the term from the scheduled maturity from January 6, 2016 to April 5, 2023. The effective interest rate as of December 31, 2015 was 3.64%. A default under this loan will also constitute a default under the loan outstanding on Two Commerce Square. This loan is also secured by a lien on Two Commerce Square.

[4] This loan was assumed upon acquisition of the related property on December 19, 2013. The interest rate reflects the market rate at the time of acquisition. A default under this loan will also constitute a default under the loan outstanding on One Commerce Square. This loan is also secured by a lien on One Commerce Square.

[5] On January 14, 2016, the Company funded $265.8 million to prepay two mortgage loans, consisting of $176.9 million of principal repayment, $44.5 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness on the office property located at 2970 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania commonly known as 30th Street Main Post Office (“Cira Square”), ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030. Also on January 14, 2016, the Company funded $44.4 million, consisting of $35.5 million of principal repayment, $8.9 million in prepayment charges and a nominal amount of accrued interest, in repayment of the mortgage indebtedness of a 1,662 parking space facility located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania commonly known as (“Cira South Garage”), ahead of its scheduled maturity date of September 10, 2030. These repayments were financed with $195.0 million of funds available under the Credit Facility with the remaining balance funded through available cash balances. The Company recognized a $66.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt, consisting of the prepayment charges along with $10.8 million and $2.4 million related to non-cash charges for deferred financing costs for Cira Square and Cira South Garage, respectively.

[6] On April 1, 2016, the entire principal balance of the unsecured 6.00% Guaranteed Notes was repaid upon maturity. Available cash balances were used to fund the repayment of the unsecured notes.

[1] As of December 31, 2015, 2970 Market Street was classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. The property was sold on February 5, 2016. See Note 21, "Subsequent Events," for further information. The sale is not classified as a significant disposition under the accounting guidance for discontinued operations.

[2] As of December 31, 2015, the 58 properties associated with the series of related transactions with Och-Ziff Real Estate were classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. On February 4, 2016, the Company completed a series of transactions, resulting in the disposition of the properties. See Note 3, “Real Estate Investments,” for further information regarding the disposition. Additionally, as of December 31, 2016, the Company categorized three office properties located in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment and two properties in the Other segment as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. See Note 3, “Real Estate Investments,” for further information.

[3] Real estate investments related to assets held for sale above represents gross real estate assets and does not include accumulated depreciation or other assets on the balance sheets of the properties held for sale. See Held for Sale section below.

[4] As a result of the Och-Ziff Sale that occurred on February 4, 2016, the Company narrowed its segments to five segments: (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia Central Business District (“CBD”), (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and (4) Austin, Texas and (5) Other. The Och-Ziff Sale disposed of the entire Richmond, Virginia segment. Subsequent to the Och-Ziff Sale, the segments previously defined as New Jersey/Delaware and California are now being managed as a consolidated segment entitled “Other,” as these geographies no longer provide a significant revenue contribution. Accordingly, the chief operating decision maker revised the management structure, reallocated resources, and is assessing business operations of the five segments as of January 1, 2016.

[1] On August 31, 2016, the Company terminated its lease for the regional management and leasing office at 3141 Fairview Park Drive, located in Falls Church, Virginia. Accordingly, the Company no longer has any continuing involvement with 3141 Fairview Park Drive and recorded the partial sale under the full accrual method of accounting. See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information.

[2] The MAP Venture represents a joint venture formed between the Company and MAP Ground Lease Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group, LLC, on February 4, 2016. See Note 4 “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information. The MAP Venture’s business operations, including properties in Richmond, Virginia; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; New Jersey/Delaware and Pennsylvania Suburbs, are centrally managed with the results reported to management of the Company on a consolidated basis. As a result, the investment in the MAP Venture is separately presented. All other unconsolidated real estate ventures are managed consistently with the Company’s regional segments.

[3] See footnote (a) to the “Real estate investments, at cost” table above for further information regarding this segment.

[4] Investment in real estate ventures does not include the $1.1 million negative investment balance in one real estate venture as of December 31, 2015, which is included in other liabilities. The Company disposed of its interest in this venture during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information. The decrease to the Company’s investment balance primarily relates to distributions from the G&I VII Austin Office LLC real estate venture.
