A MESSAGE TO OUR
SHAREHOLDERS
2021 saw many highlights as well as a continued focus to stabilize our fiscal position
within our company verticals. By doing this, we enhanced our already strong foothold
across our portfolio and were able to leverage the many development and growth
opportunities within our deep pipeline to see the company reach new heights.
Our employees are the foundation of this company
and we are proud to be 13% management owned.
We will continue to invest in their training and
professional development and one way we will do
this is through the High-Performance Leadership
Program we launched in 2021. We know investing
in our most important asset is our best investment,
so this program helps ensure we have a strong
pipeline of future leaders.
We have learned in the last two years as protocols
and industries change, there is an opportunity to
adjust, adapt, and build back even better. With this
collective company focus, we are poised to see a
very prosperous 2022, but let’s spend some time
reviewing 2021.

VELOCITY WE HAVE SEEN IN
YEARS AND OCCUPANCY IN OUR
STABILIZED ASSETS STANDS AT
OVER 96.7%
The development pipeline is well-stocked and
proceeding rapidly. Significant, off-market
acquisition opportunities are on the horizon,
third-party construction engagements are
shaping up to become high volume contracts,
and most importantly, we are in a strong cash
position with access to additional capital from
the potential disposition of non-core assets. As
a result of these combined factors, our board of
directors raised the dividend three times in 2021.
This performance, as well as other opportunities
arising in the near term, give us confidence that the
company’s metrics will support an equity value at
pre-pandemic levels in the near future.
Of course, we can’t continue to reach new
heights without the tremendous depth of
institutional knowledge within our organization.
STRATEGY
As the company’s largest equity holder, our
management team remains committed to
generating long-term value for all shareholders, to
that end, our company strategies serve to support
this value:
•
Invest in and develop the highest quality
real estate in high barrier-to-entry locations
in order to maintain high occupancy and
achieve premium rental rates through varying
economic cycles.
• Maintain full-service capabilities across
the real estate spectrum – development,
construction, and asset management – in
order to execute on a range of opportunities
throughout the investment cycle.
• Remain committed to sustainable and
efficient environmental, social, and
governance practices.
• Create value and maximize the wholesale-to-
retail spread in our development projects with
our development and construction expertise.

SUSTAINABILIT Y
Armada Hoffler always strives to conduct our
business, the development, construction, and
operation of new and existing buildings, in a manner
that contributes to positive economic, social,
and environmental outcomes for our customers,
shareholders, employees, and communities we
serve. We recently established a sustainability
roadmap, which includes our three priority pillars:
People, Planet, and Communities. While there is
always more to do, I am proud of the achievements
we made in 2021.
We are committed to providing each employee with
on the environment. Foremost among our efforts
was the development of a Climate Change Strategic
Plan to help us reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions and manage the impacts of climate
change on our business. And lastly, supporting
the communities we do business in. From our
earliest days, Armada Hoffler has been grounded
in local neighborhoods, cities, and towns. We
remain committed to working with local nonprofits,
academic institutions, and civic leaders to make
our communities a better place to work, live, and
play. We continued to support partners such as the
Ronald McDonald House of Maryland and other
organizations that provide a helping hand to families
a safe, welcoming, and inclusive work environment
during these trying times.
and culture that enables them to contribute
fully and develop to their highest potential. In
2021, we established a new culture committee
resource group that will seek to create an even
more innovative and inclusive environment, while
enhancing our diversity, equity, and inclusion
programs by working with partners to cast a wider
net for diverse talent. In a year that saw world
leaders gather in Scotland to address the imminent
risk of climate change to our planet, we remained
more committed than ever to minimizing our impact
Underlying all we do is our commitment to
conducting our business ethically and with integrity.
I believe this starts with strong governance practices
and leadership from our board of directors, whom I
want to thank for their ongoing support and guidance
during a year that continued to present challenges
for business, society, and the environment. Going
forward, we remain committed to transparency and
disclosure. I encourage you to read our Sustainability

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We
caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in
writing from time to time, are based on beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management.
When used, the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "estimate," "project," "should,"
"will," "result" and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance,
which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control. Should one
or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our
good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when
they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Accordingly, investors should
use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to
anticipate future results or trends.
Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, and you should not rely on them as predictions
of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data, or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise,
and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as
described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to
differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We
caution investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. For a further discussion of these and other
factors that could impact our future results, performance, or transactions, see the factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors and
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein and in other documents
that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Summary Risk Factors
Our business is subject to a number of risks, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business
objectives or may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. These
summary risks provide an overview of many of the risks we are exposed to in the normal course of our business and are
discussed more fully in Item 1A. Risk Factors herein. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
• Our failure to establish new development relationships with public partners and expand our development
relationships with existing public partners could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash
flow, and growth prospects.
• We may be unable to identify and complete development opportunities and acquisitions of properties that meet
our investment criteria, which may materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow, and
growth prospects.
• Our real estate development activities are subject to risks particular to development, such as unanticipated
expenses, delays, and other contingencies, any of which could materially and adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flow.
•
The geographic concentration of our portfolio could cause us to be more susceptible to adverse economic or
regulatory developments in the markets in which our properties are located than if we owned a more
geographically diverse portfolio.
iii
• We have a substantial amount of indebtedness outstanding, which may expose us to the risk of default under our
debt obligations and may include covenants that restrict our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
• Mezzanine loans and similar loan investments are subject to significant risks, and losses related to these
investments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
• We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space, or re-lease space on favorable terms or at all as leases
expire, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow,
cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
•
The short-term leases in our multifamily portfolio expose us to the effects of declining market rents, which
could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow, and cash available for distribution.
• Adverse economic and geopolitical conditions and dislocations in the credit markets could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and
ability to service our debt obligations.
• Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control and may not be available to us
on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could limit our ability to, among other things, meet our
capital and operating needs or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to maintain our
qualification as a REIT.
• Adverse economic and regulatory conditions, particularly in the Mid-Atlantic region, could adversely affect our
construction and development business, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
•
•
There can be no assurance that all of the projects for which our construction business is engaged as general
contractor will be commenced or completed in their entirety in accordance with the anticipated cost or that we
will achieve the financial results we expect from the construction of such properties.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to realize the business objectives of our real estate investments
through disposition or refinancing of such at attractive prices or within certain time periods, and any related
illiquidity of our real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in
the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition.
• Daniel Hoffler and his affiliates own, directly or indirectly, a substantial beneficial interest in our company on a
fully diluted basis and have the ability to exercise significant influence on our company and our Operating
Partnership, including the approval of significant corporate transactions.
• Our charter contains certain provisions restricting the ownership and transfer of our stock that may delay, defer,
or prevent a change of control transaction that might involve a premium price for our common stock or that our
stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests.
•
Failure to maintain our qualification as a REIT would cause us to be taxed as a regular corporation, which
would substantially reduce funds available for distribution to our stockholders.
• We may be unable to make distributions at expected levels, which could result in a decrease in the market price
of our common stock and our 6.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par
value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”).

Our Company
PART I
References to "we," "our," "us," and "our company" refer to Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation,
together with our consolidated subsidiaries, including Armada Hoffler, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"), of which we are the sole general partner.
We are a full-service real estate company with extensive experience developing, building, owning, and managing high-
quality, institutional-grade office, retail, and multifamily properties in attractive markets primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic
and Southeastern United States. In addition to the ownership of our operating property portfolio, we develop and build
properties for our own account and through joint ventures between us and unaffiliated partners and also invest in development
projects through mezzanine lending and preferred equity arrangements. We also provide general contracting services to third
parties. Our construction and development experience includes mid- and high-rise office buildings, retail strip malls, retail
power centers, multifamily apartment communities, hotels and conference centers, single- and multi-tenant industrial,
distribution, and manufacturing facilities, educational, medical and special purpose facilities, government projects, parking
garages, and mixed-use town centers. Our most recent third-party construction contracts have included the mixed-use project
The Interlock in Atlanta, Georgia, Boulder Lake Apartments in Chesterfield, Virginia, and 27th Street Hotel in Virginia Beach.
We also are proud to have completed numerous signature properties across the Mid-Atlantic region, such as the Exelon
Building in Baltimore, Maryland, the Inner Harbor East development in Baltimore, Maryland and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel
in Washington, D.C.
We were formed on October 12, 2012 under the laws of the State of Maryland and are headquartered in Virginia
Beach, Virginia. We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year
ended December 31, 2013. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, our
Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2021, we owned, through a combination of direct and indirect interests, 75.3% of
the common units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership ("OP Units").

Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that we distinguish ourselves from other REITs through the following competitive strengths:
•
•
High-Quality, Diversified Portfolio. Our portfolio consists of institutional-grade, premier office, retail, and
multifamily properties located primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions. Our properties are
generally in the top tier of commercial properties in their markets, many in master planned communities, and
offer Class-A amenities and finishes.
Seasoned, Committed, and Aligned Senior Management Team with a Proven Track Record. Our senior
management team has extensive experience developing, constructing, owning, operating, renovating, and
financing institutional-grade office, retail, and multifamily properties in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern
regions. As of December 31, 2021, our named executive officers and directors collectively owned
approximately 12.9% of our company on a fully diluted basis, which we believe aligns their interests with
those of our stockholders.

•
•
•
Strategic Focus on Attractive Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern Markets. We focus our activities on our target
markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States that demonstrate attractive
fundamentals driven by favorable supply and demand characteristics and limited competition from other
large, well-capitalized operators. We believe that our longstanding presence in our target markets provides us
with significant advantages in sourcing and executing development opportunities, identifying and mitigating
potential risks, and negotiating attractive pricing.
Extensive Experience with Construction and Development. Our platform consists of development,
construction, and asset management capabilities, which comprise an integrated delivery system for every
project that we build for our own account or for third-party clients. This integrated approach provides a single
source of accountability for design and construction, simplifies coordination and communication among the
relevant stakeholders in each project, and provides us valuable insight from an operational perspective. We
believe that being regularly engaged in construction and development projects provides us significant and
distinct advantages, including enhanced market intelligence, greater insight into best practices, enhanced
operating leverage, and "first look" access to development and ownership opportunities in our target
markets. We also use mezzanine lending and preferred equity arrangements, which may enable us to acquire
completed development projects at prices that are below market or at cost and may enable us to realize profit
on projects we do not intend to own.
Longstanding Public and Private Relationships. We have extensive experience with public/private real estate
development projects dating back to 1984, having worked with the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of
Georgia, and the Kingdom of Sweden, as well as various municipalities. Through our experience and
longstanding relationships with governmental entities such as these, we have learned to successfully navigate
the often complex and time-consuming government approval process, which has given us the ability to
capture opportunities that we believe many of our competitors are unable to pursue.
Our Business and Growth Strategies
Our primary business objectives are to: (i) continue to develop, build, and own institutional-grade office, retail, and
multifamily properties in our target markets, (ii) finance and operate our portfolio in a manner that increases cash flow and
property values, (iii) execute new third-party construction work with consistent operating margins, and (iv) pursue selective
acquisition opportunities, particularly when the acquisition involves a significant redevelopment aspect. We will seek to achieve
our objectives through the following strategies:
•
•
•
•
Pursue a Disciplined, Opportunistic Development and Acquisition Strategy Focused on Office, Retail, and
Multifamily Properties. We intend to continue to grow our asset base through continued strategic
development of office, retail, and multifamily properties, and the selective acquisition of high-quality
properties that are well-located in their submarkets. Furthermore, we believe our construction and
development expertise provides a high level of quality control while ensuring that the projects we construct
and develop are completed more quickly and at a lower cost than if we engaged a third-party general
contractor.
Pursue New, and Expand Existing, Public/Private Relationships. We intend to continue to leverage our
extensive experience in completing large, complex, mixed-use, public/private projects to establish
relationships with new public partners while expanding our relationships with existing public partners.
Leverage our Construction and Development Platform to Attract Additional Third-Party Clients. We believe
that we have a unique advantage over many of our competitors due to our integrated construction and
development business that provides expertise, oversight, and a broad array of client-focused services. We
intend to continue to conduct and grow our construction business and other third-party services by pursuing
new clients and expanding our relationships with existing clients. We also intend to continue to use our
mezzanine lending program to leverage our development and construction expertise in serving clients.
Engage in Disciplined Capital Recycling. We intend to opportunistically divest properties when we believe
returns have been maximized and to redeploy the capital into new development, acquisition, repositioning, or
redevelopment projects that are expected to generate higher potential risk-adjusted returns.

Our Properties
The table below sets forth certain information regarding our stabilized portfolio as of December 31, 2021. We
generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or
(ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is fully or
partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment
activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the stabilization criteria above are again met.

________________________________________
(1) The net rentable square footage for each of our office and retail properties is the sum of (a) the square footage of existing leases, plus (b)
for available space, management’s estimate of net rentable square footage based, in part, on past leases. The net rentable square footage
included in office leases is generally consistent with the Building Owners and Managers Association 1996 measurement guidelines.
(2) Occupancy for each of our office and retail properties is calculated as (a) square footage under executed leases as of December 31, 2021
divided by (b) net rentable square feet, expressed as a percentage. Occupancy for our multifamily properties is calculated as (a) total
units/beds occupied as of December 31, 2021 divided by (b) total units/beds available, expressed as a percentage.
(3) For the properties in our office and retail portfolios, annualized base rent ("ABR") is calculated by multiplying (a) monthly base rent
(defined as cash base rent, before contractual tenant concessions and abatements, and excluding tenant reimbursements for expenses paid
by us) as of December 31, 2021 for in-place leases as of such date by (b) 12, and does not give effect to periodic contractual rent
increases or contingent rental revenue (e.g., percentage rent based on tenant sales thresholds). ABR per leased square foot is calculated
by dividing (a) ABR by (b) square footage under in-place leases as of December 31, 2021. In the case of triple net or modified gross
leases, our calculation of ABR does not include tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, insurance, common area or other operating
expenses.
(4) Net rentable square feet at certain of our retail properties includes pad sites leased pursuant to ground leases.
(5) The Company leases all or a portion of the land underlying this property pursuant to a ground lease.
(6) We are entitled to a preferred return on our investment in this property.
(7) The Regal Cinemas space is shown as occupied in this data. This lease expired December 31, 2021 and is now on a month to month
basis.
Includes ABR pursuant to a rooftop lease.
(8)
(9) As of December 31, 2021, we occupied 55,390 square feet at these two properties at an ABR of $1.8 million, or $32.23 per leased square
foot, which amounts are reflected in this table. The rent paid by us is eliminated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP").
(10) For the properties in our multifamily portfolio, AQR is calculated by multiplying (a) revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2021
by (b) 4.
(11) The AQR for Liberty, Cosmopolitan, Hoffler Place, Edison Apartments, and 1405 Point excludes approximately $0.2 million, $0.9
million, $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, from ground floor retail leases.
(12) Student Housing property that is leased by bed. Monthly effective rent per occupied unit is calculated by dividing total base rental
payments for the month ended December 31, 2021 by the number of occupied beds.

Other Investments
Interlock Commercial
On December 21, 2018, we entered into a mezzanine loan agreement with the developer of the office and retail
components of The Interlock, a new mixed-use public-private partnership with Georgia Tech in West Midtown Atlanta. The
loan has a maximum principal amount of $70.1 million and a total maximum commitment, including accrued interest reserves,
of $107.0 million. The mezzanine loan bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum, with $3.0 million of overrun advances
bearing interest at a rate of 18.0%. The loan matures on the earlier of (i) 24 months after the original maturity date or earlier
termination date of the senior construction loan or (ii) any sale, transfer, or refinancing of the project. In the event that the
maturity date is established as being 24 months after the original maturity date or earlier termination date of the senior
construction loan, the developer will have the right to extend the maturity date for five years.
The balance on the Interlock Commercial note was $95.4 million as of December 31, 2021. During the year ended
December 31, 2021, we recognized $12.8 million of interest income on the note. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial
statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In February 2022, the borrower paid the balance down by $13.5 million.
Nexton Multifamily
On April 1, 2021, we entered into a $22.3 million preferred equity investment for the development of a multifamily
property located in Summerville, South Carolina, adjacent to our Nexton Square property. The investment has economic terms
consistent with a note receivable, including a mandatory redemption or maturity on October 1, 2026, and it is accounted for as a
note receivable in our consolidated balance sheets. This investment bears interest at a rate of 11%, compounded annually.
The principal balance on the Nexton Multifamily note was $22.3 million as of December 31, 2021. During the year
ended December 31, 2021, we recognized $1.3 million of interest income on the note, bringing the total balance on the loan to
$23.6 million. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Solis Apartments at Interlock
On December 21, 2018, we entered into a mezzanine loan agreement with Interlock Mezz Borrower, LLC ("Solis
Interlock"), the developer of Solis Apartments at Interlock, which is the apartment component of The Interlock. The mezzanine
loan had a maximum principal commitment of $25.2 million and a total maximum commitment, including accrued interest
reserves, of $41.1 million. The mezzanine loan bore interest at a rate of 13.0% per annum.
On June 7, 2021 the borrower paid off the Solis Apartments at Interlock note receivable in full. The Company received
a total of $33.0 million, which consisted of $23.2 million outstanding principal, $7.4 million of accrued interest, and a
prepayment premium of $2.4 million that resulted from the early payoff of the loan. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial
statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
During December 2020, we formed a 50/50 joint venture that will develop and build T. Rowe Price's new global
headquarters in Baltimore's Harbor Point. Plans for this development are preliminary and will evolve during the next several
quarters. T. Rowe Price agreed to a 15-year lease and plans to relocate its downtown Baltimore operations in the first half of
2024 to a facility in Harbor Point that is planned to contain at least 450,000 square feet of office space. Project costs at this time
are subject to change and currently estimated at $250 million. We will be expected to provide completion guarantees to the
lender for this project. We expect the construction loan, when obtained, to be cross collateralized with Harbor Point Parcel 4 (as
defined below).
In conjunction with this build-to-suit project, another joint venture will develop and build a new mixed-use facility
with 312 apartments units, 10,000 square feet of retail space, and 1,250 spaces of structured parking on a neighboring site
("Harbor Point Parcel 4") to accommodate T. Rowe Price's parking requirements and other parking requirements for the
surrounding area. Plans for this project are also preliminary and will evolve during the next several quarters. Estimated project
costs are $192 million and the terms of this joint venture are currently being negotiated. We anticipate that this will be a 50/50
joint venture. When a construction loan is obtained, we will be expected to provide completion guarantees and a partial
payment guarantee to the lender for this project.
Under current plans and estimates, our equity requirement combined for the two projects would be $60 million. We
anticipate breaking ground in the second quarter of 2022 for both projects.
Acquisitions
On February 26, 2021, we acquired Delray Beach Plaza, a Whole Foods-anchored retail property located in Delray
Beach, Florida, for a contract price of $27.6 million plus capitalized transaction costs of $0.2 million. As a part of this
transaction, the developer of this property repaid our mezzanine note receivable of $14.3 million at the time of the acquisition.
On June 28, 2021, we purchased the remaining 7.5% ownership interest in Hoffler Place for a cash payment of
$0.3 million.
On June 28, 2021, we purchased the remaining 10% ownership interest in Summit Place for a cash payment of
$0.5 million.
On July 28, 2021, we acquired Overlook Village, a retail center in Asheville, North Carolina, for a contract price of
$28.3 million plus capitalized acquisition costs of $0.1 million.
On August 24, 2021, we acquired Greenbrier Square, a Kroger-anchored retail center in Chesapeake, Virginia, for total
consideration of $36.5 million plus capitalized acquisition costs of $0.3 million. As a part of this acquisition, we assumed a note
payable of $20.0 million.

10
On December 15, 2021, we completed the sale of a land parcel at Brooks Crossing for a sale price of $0.5 million. The
loss recognized upon disposition was immaterial.
Subsequent to December 31, 2021
On January 14, 2022, we acquired a 79% membership interest and an additional 11% economic interest in the mixed-
use property located in Baltimore's Harbor Point known as the Exelon Building for a purchase price of approximately
$92.2 million in cash and a loan to the seller of $12.8 million. The Exelon Building was subject to a $156.1 million loan, which
we immediately refinanced following the acquisition with a new $175.0 million loan.
Impairment and Disposal of Real Estate
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized impairment of real estate of $3.0 million related to the
Socastee Commons shopping center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. On August 25, 2021, we completed the sale of Socastee
Commons for a price of $3.8 million. The loss on disposition was $0.1 million.
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we recognized impairment of real estate of $18.3 million related to
the Hoffler Place and Summit Place student-housing properties. We reclassified the properties as real estate investments held
for sale as of December 31, 2021. The properties are under contract and expected to be sold during the first half of 2022.
Impact of COVID-19 on our Business
Overview
The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our business activity will depend on future developments, including
the duration and intensity of the pandemic, the timing, administration and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines (including
against COVID-19 variant strains), and the duration of, or the reinstatement of, government measures to mitigate the pandemic
or address its effects, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19
pandemic, we are not able at this time to estimate the full effect of these factors on our business. While the full extent of the
COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the U.S. economy and the U.S. real estate industry remains to be seen, the pandemic has
presented significant challenges for us and many of our tenants. In the near-term, we and many of our tenants are focusing on
implementing contingency plans to manage business disruptions caused by the pandemic and related actions intended to
mitigate its spread. In the long-term, we might need to re-assess and consider modifying our operating model, underwriting
criteria, and liquidity position to mitigate the impacts of future economic downturns, including as a result of a future resurgence
of COVID-19 cases, the timing, severity, and duration of which cannot be predicted.
We anticipate that the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the related responses intended to mitigate its
spread will continue to adversely affect business activity, particularly relating to our retail tenants, across the markets in which
we operate. We have observed the impact of COVID-19 manifest in the form of business closures or significantly limited
operations for periods of time in our retail portfolio, with the exception of tenants operating in certain "essential" businesses,
which has resulted, and may in the future result in, a decline in on-time rental payments, increased requests from tenants for
temporary rental relief, and potentially permanent closure of certain businesses. While operations in many areas have been
allowed to fully or partially re-open, no assurance can be given that restrictions will not be reinstituted in the future.
In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, as part of our initial response to the COVID-19
pandemic, we took proactive, aggressive actions to adopt social distancing policies at our offices, properties, and construction
jobsites, including: transitioning our office employees to a remote work environment during certain periods of time, which was
greatly assisted by recent enhancements to our IT systems; limiting the number of employees attending in-person meetings;
implementing limitations on travel; and ensuring all construction jobsites continue to comply with state and local social
distancing requirements and other health and safety protocols implemented by the Company.
From an operational perspective, we have remained in regular communication with our tenants, property managers,
and vendors, and, where appropriate, have provided guidance relating to the availability of government relief programs that
could support our tenants’ businesses. In response to the market and industry trends, we also have pursued cost-saving
initiatives to align our overall cost structure, including proactively deferring previously announced development activity at
several of our projects, postponing certain acquisition activity, slowing down redevelopment activity at The Cosmopolitan, and
suspending non-essential capital expenditures. Although we believe these measures and other measures we may implement in
the future will help mitigate the financial impacts of the pandemic on our business, there can be no assurances that we will
11
accurately forecast the impact of adverse economic conditions on our business or that we will effectively align our cost
structure, capital investments, and other expenditures with our revenue and spending levels in the future.
We will continue to actively monitor the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our and our tenants’ businesses
and may take further actions to alter our business practices if we determine that such changes are in the best interests of our
employees, tenants, residents, stockholders, and third-party construction customers, or as required by federal, state, or local
authorities. It is not clear what the potential effects of such alterations or modifications, if any, may have on our business,
including the effects on our tenants and residents and the corresponding impact on our results of operations and financial
condition for the fiscal 2022 and thereafter.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the
United States. We have availed ourselves of the option to defer payment of the employer share of Social Security payroll taxes
totaling $0.6 million that would otherwise have been owed from the date of enactment of the CARES Act through December
31, 2020. Of the $0.6 million deferred in 2020, $0.3 million was paid in 2021 and $0.3 million will be deferred through
December 31, 2022. Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 in December 2020, and the American Rescue
Plan Act of 2021 in March 2021, which include the second and third economic stimulus packages, respectively, to address the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to assess the potential impacts of the current federal stimulus and relief
legislation and any subsequent legislation, including our eligibility and our tenants for funding under programs designed to
provide financial assistance to U.S. businesses.
We believe the diversification of our business across multiple asset classes (i.e., office, retail and multifamily),
together with our third-party construction business, will help to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business to a greater
extent than if our business were concentrated in a single asset class. However, as discussed in greater detail below, we expect
the impact of the pandemic to continue to have a particularly adverse effect on many of our retail tenants, which will continue
to adversely affect our results of operations even if the performance of our office and multifamily assets and our construction
business remains close to historical levels. Furthermore, if the impacts of the pandemic continue for an extended period of time,
we expect that certain office tenants and multifamily residents will experience greater financial distress, which could result in
late payments, requests for rental relief, business closures, decreases in occupancy, reductions in rent, or increases in rent
concessions or other accommodations, as applicable.
Multifamily Portfolio Residential Eviction Restrictions
Due to actions taken by state governments and limited working capacity for government courts and agencies, certain
properties in our multifamily portfolio were subject to increased restrictions that limited our ability to evict tenants or charge
late fees through September 30, 2021. At this time, certain restrictions previously in place have been lifted and many
government courts and agencies have re-opened; however, there may be similar restrictions and limited working capacity for
government courts and agencies in the future.
On September 4, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the "CDC") issued a nationwide order to
temporarily halt residential evictions to prevent the further spread of COVID-19, which effectively prohibited evictions for
nonpayment through June 30, 2021 for residential tenants who satisfied certain conditions. Subsequent to the initial order, the
CDC extended the expiration date of the eviction moratorium from June 30, 2021 to October 3, 2021. The CDC's order did not,
on its own, prevent landlords from filing suits, obtaining judgments, or filing writs; rather, the order only prevented landlords
from carrying out evictions if the tenant submitted the signed declaration form to the landlord. If the tenant did not satisfy the
applicable conditions, the tenant could be evicted. The order did not apply to evictions that were for reasons other than
nonpayment of rent. The penalties for an organization that violated the order include fines of up to $200,000 per event
($500,000 if the eviction results in death). The order did not relieve any individual of any obligation to pay rent or comply with
any other obligation under a lease, nor did it preclude the charging or collecting of fees, penalties, or interest as a result of the
failure to pay rent under the terms of a lease. The order did not apply to commercial tenants.
As of the date of this filing, all residential landlords filing an eviction action in the State of North Carolina and South
Carolina are no longer obligated to provide tenants a blank CDC Declaration form. The “One CDC Declaration per Household”
and the requirement of the "5 day deadline to notify the Court of a CDC Declaration" rules are no longer in effect as well. If the
landlord receives a completed CDC Declaration form from the tenant, the landlord may not proceed to request a writ of
possession. Evictions for reasons other than nonpayment of rent are not prohibited. These conditions apply to Greenside
Apartments, Hoffler Place, and Summit Place.
State and local restrictions prohibiting evictions of tenants affected by COVID-19 are no longer in place for 1405
Point, which is located in Baltimore, Maryland, or for the Residences at Annapolis Junction, which is located in Howard
12
County, Maryland. The governor’s state of emergency order expired August 15, 2021, and all eviction restrictions were lifted
November 14, 2021 at the Residences at Annapolis Junction and 1405 Point. The restriction guideline in place that prevented
landlords from not renewing a resident's lease due to his or her inability to pay rent due to COVID-19 hardship expired on
February 12, 2022.
Furthermore, the restriction on evictions in the State of Maryland applies to both our commercial and residential
properties located in that state.
In Virginia, residential landlord-tenant law has been changing rapidly in recent months. On June 30, 2021, Virginia’s
COVID-19 state of emergency expired, lifting a set of restrictions on evictions enabling non-paying residents to continue cases
for 60 days (if residents could prove non-payment was due to COVID-19) and requiring landlords to apply for rental assistance
on behalf of tenants through the Virginia Rent Relief Program (RRP). Following the expiration of the Virginia state of
emergency, the United States Supreme Court ruled on August 26, 2021 to end a temporary stay on a lower court ruling seeking
to overturn a federal eviction moratorium issued by the CDC. In doing so, the Supreme Court’s ruling invalidated the federal
eviction moratorium.
While the CDC eviction moratorium is no longer in effect, the Virginia General Assembly passed a new set of
extended protections that went into effect on August 10, 2021 and will remain in effect until June 30, 2022. Before terminating
the rental agreement and seeking possession of the property, the extended protections require landlords owning more than four
(4) dwelling units to serve a 14-day pay or quit notice instructing the tenant to either pay in full or enter into an acceptable
payment plan within the 14-day cure period. Tenants may only use the payment plan option one time during the length of a
rental agreement. If a tenant defaults on a payment plan, landlords must send a subsequent 14-day notice demanding payment in
full. Pay or quit notices no longer require language regarding the Virginia state of emergency, and the mandate on landlords to
apply for RRP on behalf of a tenant no longer exists.
Tax Status
We have elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our
taxable year ended December 31, 2013. Our continued qualification as a REIT will depend upon our ability to meet, on a
continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, various complex requirements under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), relating to, among other things, the sources of our gross income, the composition and
values of our assets, our distribution levels, and the diversity of ownership of our capital stock. We believe that we are
organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and that our manner of operation will
enable us to maintain the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In
addition, we have elected to treat AHP Holding, Inc., which, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, operates our construction,
development, and third-party asset management businesses, as a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS").
As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our net taxable income that we distribute
currently to our stockholders. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements,
including a requirement that they distribute each year at least 90% of their REIT taxable income, determined without regard to
the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable
year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates,
and we would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we ceased to
qualify as a REIT. Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to state and local
taxes on our income and assets and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. Additionally, any income
earned by our services company, and any other TRS we form in the future, will be fully subject to federal, state and local
corporate income tax.
Insurance
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, business interruption, and rental loss insurance covering all
of the properties in our portfolio under a blanket insurance policy in addition to other coverage that may be appropriate for
certain of our properties. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate for our properties
given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage, and industry practice; however, our insurance coverage may not be
sufficient to fully cover our losses. We do not carry insurance for certain losses, including, but not limited to, losses caused by
riots or war. Some of our policies, such as those covering losses due to terrorism and earthquakes, are insured subject to
limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses for such
events. In addition, all but two of the properties in our portfolio as of December 31, 2021 were located in Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, which are areas subject to an increased risk of hurricanes. While we will carry
13
hurricane insurance on certain of our properties, the amount of our hurricane insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully
cover losses from hurricanes. We may reduce or discontinue hurricane, terrorism, or other insurance on some or all of our
properties in the future if the cost of premiums for any of these policies exceeds, in our judgment, the value of the coverage
discounted for the risk of loss. Also, if destroyed, we may not be able to rebuild certain of our properties due to current zoning
and land use regulations. As a result, we may incur significant costs in the event of adverse weather conditions and natural
disasters. In addition, our title insurance policies may not insure for the current aggregate market value of our portfolio, and we
do not intend to increase our title insurance coverage as the market value of our portfolio increases. If we or one or more of our
tenants experiences a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged
properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to
recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.
Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable costs in the future as the costs associated
with property and casualty renewals may be higher than anticipated.
Regulation
General
Our properties are subject to various covenants, laws, ordinances, and regulations, including regulations relating to
common areas and fire and safety requirements. We believe that each of the properties in our portfolio has the necessary
permits and approvals to operate its business.
Americans With Disabilities Act
Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA"), to the extent
that such properties are "public accommodations" as defined by the ADA. Under the ADA, all public accommodations must
meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to
access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Although
we believe that the properties in our portfolio in the aggregate substantially comply with present requirements of the ADA, we
have not conducted a comprehensive audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine our compliance, and we are
aware that some particular properties may currently be in non-compliance with the ADA. Noncompliance with the ADA could
result in the incurrence of additional costs to attain compliance, the imposition of fines, an award of damages to private
litigants, and a limitation on our ability to refinance outstanding indebtedness. The obligation to make readily achievable
accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and to make alterations as appropriate in this
respect.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, as a current or former owner
or operator of real property, we may be liable for costs and damages resulting from the presence or discharge of hazardous or
toxic substances, waste, or petroleum products at, on, in, under, or migrating from such property, including costs to investigate
and clean up such contamination and liability for harm to natural resources. Such laws often impose liability without regard to
whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination, and the liability may be
joint and several. These liabilities could be substantial, and the cost of any required remediation, removal, fines, or other costs
could exceed the value of the property and our aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of contamination or the failure to
remediate contamination at our properties may expose us to third-party liability for costs of remediation and personal or
property damage or materially adversely affect our ability to sell, lease, or develop our properties or to borrow using the
properties as collateral. In addition, environmental laws may create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for
damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on our properties,
environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and
these restrictions may require substantial expenditures.
Some of our properties contain, have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or
currently contain storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products, propane, or other hazardous or toxic substances.
Similarly, some of our properties were used in the past for commercial or industrial purposes, or are currently used for
commercial purposes, that involve or involved the use of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances, or are
adjacent to or near properties that have been or are used for similar commercial or industrial purposes. As a result, some of our
properties have been or may be impacted by contamination arising from the releases of such hazardous substances or petroleum
products. Where we have deemed appropriate, we have taken steps to address identified contamination or mitigate risks
14
associated with such contamination; however, we are unable to ensure that further actions will not be necessary. As a result of
the foregoing, we could potentially incur material liability.
Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance, and removal of asbestos-containing building materials
("ACBM"), and may impose fines and penalties for failure to comply with these requirements or expose us to third-party
liability. Such laws require that owners or operators of buildings containing ACBM (and employers in such buildings) properly
manage and maintain the asbestos, adequately notify or train those who may come into contact with asbestos, and undertake
special precautions, including removal or other abatement, if asbestos would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a
building. In addition, the presence of ACBM in our properties may expose us to third-party liability (e.g. liability for personal
injury associated with exposure to asbestos). We are not presently aware of any material adverse issues at our properties
including ACBM.
Similarly, environmental laws govern the presence, maintenance, and removal of lead-based paint in residential
buildings, and may impose fines and penalties for failure to comply with these requirements. Such laws require, among other
things, that owners or operators of residential facilities that contain or potentially contain lead-based paint notify residents of the
presence or potential presence of lead-based paint prior to occupancy and prior to renovations and manage lead-based paint
waste appropriately. In addition, the presence of lead-based paint in our buildings may expose us to third-party liability (e.g.,
liability for personal injury associated with exposure to lead-based paint). We are not presently aware of any material adverse
issues at our properties involving lead-based paint.
In addition, the properties in our portfolio also are subject to various federal, state, and local environmental and health
and safety requirements, such as state and local fire requirements. Moreover, some of our tenants may handle and use hazardous
or regulated substances and wastes as part of their operations at our properties, which are subject to regulation. Such
environmental and health and safety laws and regulations could subject us or our tenants to liability resulting from these
activities. Environmental liabilities could affect a tenant’s ability to make rental payments to us. In addition, changes in laws
could increase the potential liability for noncompliance. Our leases sometimes require our tenants to comply with
environmental and health and safety laws and regulations and to indemnify us for any related liabilities. However, in the event
of the bankruptcy or inability of any of our tenants to satisfy such obligations, we may be required to satisfy such obligations. In
addition, we may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims regardless of whether we knew of, or were responsible
for, the presence or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or waste and irrespective of tenant lease provisions. The costs
associated with such liability could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on us.
When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if
the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins
or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor
sources, and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses, and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants
above certain levels can be alleged to cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other
reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties could require us
to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected
property or increase indoor ventilation. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could
expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants, or others if property damage or personal injury occurs. We are
not presently aware of any material adverse indoor air quality issues at our properties.
Competition
We compete with a number of developers, owners, and operators of office, retail, and multifamily real estate, many of
which own properties similar to ours in the same markets in which our properties are located and some of which have greater
financial resources than we do. In operating and managing our portfolio, we compete for tenants based on a number of factors,
including location, rental rates, security, flexibility, and expertise to design space to meet prospective tenants’ needs and the
manner in which the property is operated, maintained, and marketed. As leases at our properties expire, we may encounter
significant competition to renew or re-lease space in light of the large number of competing properties within the markets in
which we operate. As a result, we may be required to provide rent concessions or abatements, incur charges for tenant
improvements and other inducements, including early termination rights or below-market renewal options, or we may not be
able to timely lease vacant space.
We also face competition when pursuing development, acquisition, and lending opportunities. Our competitors may be
able to pay higher property acquisition prices, may have private access to opportunities not available to us, may have more
financial resources than we do, and may otherwise be in a better position to acquire or develop a property. Competition may
15
also have the effect of reducing the number of suitable development and acquisition opportunities available to us or increasing
the price required to consummate a development or acquisition opportunity.
In addition, we face competition in our construction business from other construction companies in the markets in
which we operate, including small local companies and large regional and national companies. In our construction business, we
compete for construction projects based on several factors, including cost, reputation for quality and timeliness, access to
machinery and equipment, access to and relationships with high-quality subcontractors, financial strength, knowledge of local
markets, and project management abilities. We believe that we compete favorably on the basis of the foregoing factors and that
our construction business is well-positioned to compete effectively in the markets in which we operate. However, some of the
construction companies with which we compete have different cost structures and greater financial and other resources than we
do, which may put them at an advantage when competing with us for construction projects. Competition from other
construction companies may reduce the number of construction projects that we are hired to complete and increase pricing
pressure, either of which could reduce the profitability of our construction business.
Human Capital
As of December 31, 2021, we had 138 employees. We operate in the highly competitive real estate industry.
Attracting, developing, and retaining talented people in construction, asset management, marketing, development, and other
positions is crucial to executing our strategy and our ability to compete effectively. Our ability to recruit and retain such talent
depends on a number of factors, including compensation and benefits, talent development and career opportunities, and work
environment. To that end, we offer a comprehensive total rewards program aimed at the varying health, home-life and financial
needs of our diverse associates. Our total rewards package includes market-competitive pay, broad-based stock grants and
bonuses, healthcare benefits, retirement savings plans, paid time off and family leave, flexible work schedules, and an employee
assistance program and other mental health services. We are committed to paying living wages under humane conditions. We
also offer, where possible, remote work flexibility for our employees.

Risk Factors
Set forth below are the risks that we believe are material to our stockholders. You should carefully consider the
following risks in evaluating our Company and our business. The occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and
16
adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the market price of shares of our common stock, and

turn could cause our stockholders to lose all or a part of their investment. Some statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
including statements in the following risk factors constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled
"Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" at the beginning of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Risks Related to Our Business
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and the United States declared a
national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The pandemic has led governments and other authorities around the world,
including federal, state and local authorities in the United States, to impose measures intended to control its spread, including
restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures,
quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. All of our properties and our headquarters are located in areas that are or have been
subject to shelter-in-place orders and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures to prevent its spread could materially and adversely affect our
businesses in a number of ways. Our rental revenue and operating results depend significantly on the occupancy levels at our
properties and the ability of our tenants to meet their rent and other obligations to us. The government-imposed measures in
response to the pandemic, coupled with customers reducing their purchasing activity in light of health concerns or personal
financial distress, have resulted in significant disruptions to retail businesses around the country, including in the markets in
which we own retail assets, which has resulted, and may in future result in, tenants being unwilling or unable to pay rent in full
on a timely basis or at all. If the impacts of the pandemic continue for an extended period of time, we expect that certain office
tenants and multifamily residents will experience greater financial distress, which could result in late payments, requests for
rental relief, business closures, decreases in occupancy, reductions in rent, or increases in rent concessions or other
accommodations, as applicable. In some cases, we may have to restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be
able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place. Certain of our office and retail tenants also may
incur significant costs or losses responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, lose business due to any interruption in the operations
of our properties or incur other losses or liabilities related to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, infection or other related
factors. In addition, numerous state, local, federal, and industry-initiated efforts may affect our ability to collect rent or enforce
remedies for the failure to pay rent, particularly with respect to our multifamily properties. Our development and construction
projects also could be adversely affected, including as a result of disruptions in supply chains and government restrictions on
the types of projects that may continue during the pandemic. Additionally, borrowers under our mezzanine loan program may
be unable to satisfy their obligations to us as a result of the deterioration of their businesses as a result of the pandemic. In
addition, a significant number of our retail tenants previously were forced to close temporarily or operate on a limited basis as a
result of COVID-19 and related government actions, which has resulted in, and may in the future result in, delays in rent
payments, rent concessions, early lease terminations or tenant bankruptcies.
Further, our management team is focused on mitigating the impacts of COVID-19, which has required and will
continue to require, a large investment of time and resources across our business. Additionally, many of our employees have
worked, and may in the future work, remotely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. An extended period of remote work
arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity
risks, and impair our ability to manage our business.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also caused, and is likely to continue to cause, severe economic, market and other
disruptions worldwide. We may be impacted by stock market volatility and illiquid market conditions, global economic
uncertainty, and the perceived prospect for capital appreciation in real estate. We cannot assure you that conditions in the bank
lending, capital and other financial markets will not continue to deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, or that our access to
capital and other sources of funding will not become constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of
future borrowings, renewals or refinancing. In addition, the deterioration of global economic conditions as a result of the
pandemic may ultimately decrease occupancy levels and rents across our portfolio as tenants and residents reduce or defer their
spending, which could adversely affect the value of our properties.
The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future
developments, including the duration and intensity of the pandemic, the timing, administration and effectiveness of COVID-19
vaccines (including against COVID-19 variant strains) and other treatments, and the duration of, or the reinstatement of,
government measures to mitigate the pandemic or address its effects, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to
the dynamic nature of the situation, we are not able at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the
adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material.
17
Our failure to establish new development relationships with public partners and expand our development relationships with
existing public partners could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, and growth prospects.
Our growth strategy depends significantly on our ability to leverage our extensive experience in completing large,
complex, mixed-use public/private projects to establish new relationships with public partners and expand our relationships
with existing public partners. Future increases in our revenues may depend significantly on our ability to expand the scope of
the work we do with the state and local government agencies with which we currently have partnered and attract new state and
local government agencies to undertake public/private development projects with us. Our ability to obtain new work with state
and local governmental authorities on new public/private development and financing partnerships could be adversely affected
by several factors, including decreases in state and local budgets, changes in administrations, the departure of government
personnel with whom we have worked, and negative public perceptions about public/private partnerships. In addition, to the
extent that we engage in public/private partnerships in states or local communities in which we have not previously worked, we
could be subject to risks associated with entry into new markets, such as lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local
economy, lack of business relationships in the area, competition with other companies that already have an established presence
in the area, difficulties in hiring and retaining key personnel, difficulties in evaluating quality tenants in the area, and
unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures. If we fail to establish new relationships with public partners
and expand our relationships with existing public partners, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
cash flow, and growth prospects.
We may be unable to identify and complete development opportunities and acquisitions of properties that meet our
investment criteria, which may materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow, and growth prospects.
Our business and growth strategy involves the development and selective acquisition of office, retail, and multifamily
properties. We may expend significant management time and other resources, including out-of-pocket costs, in pursuing these
investment opportunities. Our ability to complete development projects or acquire properties on favorable terms, or at all, may
be exposed to the following significant risks:
•
•
•
we may incur significant costs and divert management attention in connection with evaluating and negotiating
potential development opportunities and acquisitions, including those that we are subsequently unable to
complete;
we have agreements for the development or acquisition of properties that are subject to conditions, which we
may be unable to satisfy; and
we may be unable to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all.
If we are unable to identify attractive investment opportunities and successfully develop new properties, our results of
operations, cash flow, and growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
The success of our activities to design, construct and develop properties in which we will retain an ownership interest is
dependent, in part, on the availability of suitable undeveloped land at acceptable prices as well as our having sufficient
liquidity to fund investments in such undeveloped land and subsequent development.
Our success in designing, constructing, and developing projects for our own account depends, in part, upon the
continued availability of suitable undeveloped land at acceptable prices. The availability of undeveloped land for purchase at
favorable prices depends on a number of factors outside of our control, including the risk of competitive over-bidding on land
and governmental regulations that restrict the potential uses of land. If the availability of suitable land opportunities decreases,
the number of development projects we may be able to undertake could be reduced. In addition, our ability to make land
purchases will depend upon our having sufficient liquidity or access to external sources of capital to fund such purchases. Thus,
the lack of availability of suitable land opportunities and insufficient liquidity to fund the purchases of any such available land
opportunities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and growth prospects.
Our real estate development activities are subject to risks particular to development, such as unanticipated expenses, delays
and other contingencies, any of which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flow.
We engage in development and redevelopment activities and will be subject to the following risks associated with such
activities:
18
•
•
•
•
•
•
unsuccessful development or redevelopment opportunities could result in direct expenses to us and cause us to
incur losses;
construction or redevelopment costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project less
profitable than originally estimated, or unprofitable;
the inability to obtain or delays in obtaining necessary governmental or quasi-governmental permits and
authorizations could result in increased costs or abandonment of the project if necessary permits or
authorizations are not obtained;
delayed construction may give tenants the right to terminate pre-development leases, which may adversely
impact the financial viability of the project;
occupancy rates, rents and concessions of a completed project may fluctuate depending on a number of factors
and may not be sufficient to make the project profitable; and
the availability and pricing of financing to fund our development activities on favorable terms or at all may
result in delays or even abandonment of certain development activities.
These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or expenses and, under certain circumstances, could prevent
completion of development or redevelopment activities once undertaken, any of which could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.
The geographic concentration of our portfolio could cause us to be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory
developments in the markets in which our properties are located than if we owned a more geographically diverse portfolio.
The majority of the properties in our portfolio are located in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina, which expose us
to greater economic risks than if we owned a more geographically diverse portfolio. As of December 31, 2021, our properties in
the Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina markets represented approximately 50%, 21%, and 16%, respectively, of the total
net operating income of the properties in our portfolio. Furthermore, many of our properties are located in the Town Center of
Virginia Beach and Harbor Point at Baltimore, and net operating income from each represented 26% and 13%, respectively, of
our total net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result of this geographic concentration, we are
particularly susceptible to adverse economic, regulatory or other conditions in the Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina
markets (such as periods of economic slowdown or recession, business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations
of businesses, increases in real estate and other taxes, and the cost of complying with governmental regulations or increased
regulation), as well as to natural disasters that occur in these markets (such as hurricanes and other events). For example, the
markets in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina in which many of the properties in our portfolio are located contain high
concentrations of military personnel and operations, and a reduction of the military presence or cuts in defense spending in
these markets could have a material adverse effect on us. If there is a downturn in the economy in Virginia, Maryland or North
Carolina, our operations, revenue, and cash available for distribution, including cash available to pay distributions to our
stockholders, could be materially and adversely affected. We cannot assure you that these markets will grow or that underlying
real estate fundamentals will be favorable to owners and operators of office, retail, or multifamily properties. Our operations
may also be adversely affected if competing properties are built in these markets. Moreover, submarkets within any of our
target markets may be dependent upon a limited number of industries. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in our
markets, or any decrease in demand for office, retail or multifamily space resulting from the regulatory environment, business
climate or energy or fiscal problems, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness outstanding, which may expose us to the risk of default under our debt
obligations and may include covenants that restrict our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
As of December 31, 2021, we had total debt of approximately $958.9 million, including debt related to properties held
for sale. Total debt includes amounts drawn under our credit facility, a substantial portion of which is guaranteed by our
Operating Partnership, and we may incur significant additional debt to finance future acquisition and development activities.
Excluding unamortized fair value adjustments and debt issuance costs, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of our debt
was $957.4 million as of December 31, 2021. Payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient
cash resources to operate our properties or to pay the dividends currently contemplated or necessary to maintain our REIT
qualification. Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements could have significant adverse
consequences, including the following:
•
•
our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments;
we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms, which could, among other things,
adversely affect our ability to meet operational needs;
19
•
•
•
•
•
we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than
the terms of our original indebtedness;
we may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on unfavorable terms or in violation of
certain covenants to which we may be subject;
we may default on our obligations, in which case the lenders or mortgagees may have the right to foreclose on
any properties that secure the loans or collect rents and other income from our properties;
we may violate restrictive covenants in our loan documents, which would entitle the lenders to accelerate our
debt obligations or reduce our ability to pay, or prohibit us from paying, distributions to our stockholders; and
our default under any loan with cross-default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness.
If any one of these events were to occur, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for
distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, foreclosures
could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution
requirements imposed by the Code. See "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."
We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space, or re-lease space on favorable terms or at all as leases expire, which
could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for
distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
As of December 31, 2021, approximately 3.8% of the square footage of the stabilized properties in our office and retail
portfolios was available. Additionally, 1.5% and 8.4% of the annualized base rent in our office portfolio was scheduled to
expire in 2022 and 2023, respectively, and 4.2% and 9.9% of the annualized base rent in our retail portfolio was scheduled to
expire in 2022 and 2023, respectively. We cannot assure you that new leases will be entered into, that leases will be renewed, or
that our properties will be re-leased at net effective rental rates equal to or above the current average net effective rental rates or
that substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options will not be
offered to attract new tenants or retain existing tenants. In addition, our ability to lease our multifamily properties at favorable
rates, or at all, may be adversely affected by the increase in supply of multifamily properties in our target markets. Our ability to
lease our properties depends upon the overall level of spending in the economy, which is adversely affected by, among other
things, job losses and unemployment levels, fears of a recession, personal debt levels, the housing market, stock market
volatility, and uncertainty about the future. If rental rates for our properties decrease, our existing tenants do not renew their
leases, or we do not re-lease a significant portion of our available space and space for which leases expire, our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations could be
materially and adversely affected.
The short-term leases in our multifamily portfolio expose us to the effects of declining market rents, which could adversely
affect our results of operations, cash flow and cash available for distribution.
Substantially all of the leases in our multifamily portfolio are for terms of 12 months or less. As a result, even if we are
able to renew or re-lease apartment and student housing units as leases expire, our rental revenues will be impacted by declines
in market rents more quickly than if all of our leases had longer terms, which could adversely affect our results of operations,
cash flow, and cash available for distribution.
Competition for property acquisitions and development opportunities may reduce the number of opportunities available to us
and increase our costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our growth prospects.
The current market for property acquisitions and development opportunities continues to be extremely competitive.
This competition may increase the demand for the types of properties in which we typically invest and, therefore, reduce the
number of suitable investment opportunities available to us and increase the purchase prices for such properties in the event we
are able to acquire or develop such properties. We face significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from an
indeterminate number of investors, including publicly traded and privately held REITs, private equity investors, and
institutional investment funds, some of which have greater financial resources than we do, a greater ability to borrow funds to
make investments in properties than we do, and the ability to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks
with respect to the geographic proximity of investments and the payment of higher acquisition prices. This competition will
increase if investments in real estate become more attractive relative to other forms of investment. If the level of competition for
investment opportunities is significant in our target markets, it could have a material adverse effect on our growth prospects.
20
Increased competition and increased affordability of residential homes could limit our ability to retain our residents, lease
apartment units, or increase or maintain rents at our multifamily apartment communities.
Our multifamily apartment communities compete with numerous housing alternatives in attracting residents, including
other multifamily apartment communities and single-family rental units, as well as owner-occupied single-family and
multifamily units. Competitive housing in a particular area and an increase in affordability of owner-occupied single-family and
multifamily units due to, among other things, declining housing prices, oversupply, mortgage interest rates, and tax incentives
and government programs to promote home ownership, could adversely affect our ability to retain residents, lease apartment
units, and increase or maintain rents at our multifamily properties, which could adversely impact our results of operations, cash
flow, and cash available for distribution.
The failure of properties that we develop or acquire to meet our financial expectations could have a material adverse effect
on us, including our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, ability to service
our debt obligations, the per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, and growth prospects.
Our acquisitions, including the recent acquisition of the Exelon Building, and development projects and our ability to
successfully operate these properties may be exposed to the following significant risks, among others:
•
•
•
•
we may acquire or develop properties that are not accretive to our results upon acquisition, and we may not
successfully manage and lease those properties to meet our expectations;
our cash flow may be insufficient to enable us to pay the required principal and interest payments on the debt
secured by the property;
we may spend more than budgeted amounts to make necessary improvements or renovations to acquired
properties or to develop new properties;
we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions or developed properties into our existing
operations;
• market conditions may result in higher-than-expected vacancy rates and lower than expected rental rates; and
•
we may acquire properties subject to liabilities without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect
to unknown liabilities such as liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination, claims by
tenants, vendors, or other persons dealing with the former owners of the properties, liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business, and claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers, and others
indemnified by the former owners of the properties.
If we cannot operate acquired or developed properties to meet our financial expectations, our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, ability to service our debt obligations, the per share trading price
of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, and growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Failure to succeed in new markets may limit our growth.
We have acquired in the past, and we may acquire in the future if appropriate opportunities arise, properties that are
outside of our primary markets. Entering into new markets exposes us to a variety of risks, including difficulty evaluating local
market conditions and local economies, developing new business relationships in the area, competing with other companies that
already have an established presence in the area, hiring and retaining key personnel, evaluating quality tenants in the area, and a
lack of familiarity with local governmental and permitting procedures. Furthermore, expansion into new markets may divert
management time and other resources away from our current primary markets. As a result, we may not be successful in
expanding into new markets, which could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash
available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
Mezzanine loans and similar loan investments are subject to significant risks, and losses related to these investments could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We have originated, and in the future expect to originate or acquire, mezzanine or similar loans, which take the form of
subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying property or loans secured by a pledge of the ownership
interests of either the entity owning the property or a pledge of the ownership interests of the entity that owns the interest in the
entity owning the property. As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $118.9 million in outstanding mezzanine loans or
similar investments. These types of loans involve a higher degree of risk than long-term senior mortgage loans secured by
income-producing real property because the loan may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender. In
addition, these loans may have higher loan-to-value ratios than conventional mortgage loans, with little or no equity invested by
the borrower, increasing the risk of loss of principal. If a borrower defaults on our mezzanine loan or debt senior to our loan, or
21
in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, our mezzanine loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt is paid in full. In the event
of a bankruptcy of the entity providing the pledge of its ownership interests as security, we may not have full recourse to the
assets of such entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy our mezzanine loan. As a result, we may not
recover some or all of our initial investment. Additionally, in conjunction with certain mezzanine loans, we issue partial
payment guarantees to the senior lender for the property, which may require us to make payments to the senior lender in the
event of a default on the senior note. Finally, in connection with our loan investments, we may have options to purchase all or a
portion of the underlying property upon maturity of the loan; however, if a developer’s costs for a project are higher than
anticipated, exercising such options may not be attractive or economically feasible, or we may not have sufficient funds to
exercise such options even if we desire to do so. Significant losses related to mezzanine or similar loan investments could have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
A bankruptcy or insolvency of any of our significant tenants in our office or retail properties could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our
debt obligations.
If a significant tenant in our office or retail properties becomes bankrupt or insolvent, federal law may prohibit us from
evicting such tenant based solely upon such bankruptcy or insolvency. In addition, a bankrupt or insolvent tenant may be
authorized to reject and terminate its lease with us. Any claim against such tenant for unpaid, future rent would be subject to a
statutory cap that might be substantially less than the remaining rent owed under the lease. If any of these tenants were to
experience a downturn in its business or a weakening of its financial condition resulting in its failure to make timely rental
payments or causing it to default under its lease, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur
substantial costs in protecting our investment. In many cases, we may have made substantial initial investments in the
applicable leases through tenant improvement allowances and other concessions that we may not be able to recover. Any such
event could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for
distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
Many of our operating costs and expenses are fixed and will not decline if our revenues decline.
Our results of operations depend, in large part, on our level of revenues, operating costs, and expenses. The expense of
owning and operating a property is not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a
reduction in revenue from the property. As a result, if revenues decline, we may not be able to reduce our expenses to keep pace
with the corresponding reductions in revenues. Many of the costs associated with real estate investments, such as real estate
taxes, insurance, loan payments, and maintenance generally will not be reduced if a property is not fully occupied or other
circumstances cause our revenues to decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
Adverse conditions in the general retail environment could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results
of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
Approximately 45.2% of our net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2021 is from retail properties. As
a result, we are subject to factors that affect the retail sector generally as well as the market for retail space. The retail
environment and the market for retail space have been, and in the future could be, adversely affected by the COVID-19
pandemic and measures intended to mitigate its spread, weakness in the national, regional, and local economies, the level of
consumer spending and consumer confidence, the adverse financial condition of some large retail companies, the ongoing
consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets, and increasing competition from
discount retailers, outlet malls, internet retailers, and other online businesses. Increases in consumer spending via the internet
may significantly affect our retail tenants’ ability to generate sales in their stores. New and enhanced technologies, including
new digital and web services technologies, may increase competition for certain of our retail tenants.
Any of the foregoing factors could adversely affect the financial condition of our retail tenants and the willingness of
retailers to lease space in our retail properties, including the anchor stores or major tenants in our retail shopping center
properties, the loss of which could result in a material impact on our retail tenants. In turn, these conditions could negatively
affect market rents for retail space and could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
22
Increases in interest rates, or failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes, will increase our interest expense and
may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to
service our debt obligations.
We have incurred, and may in the future incur, additional indebtedness that bears interest at a variable rate. An
increase in interest rates would increase our interest expense and increase the cost of refinancing existing debt and issuing new
debt, which would adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders. In addition, if we need
to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments at
times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments. The effect of prolonged interest rate
increases could adversely impact our ability to make acquisitions and develop properties.
Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT, we expect to continue to enter into hedging transactions to protect
us from the effects of interest rate fluctuations on floating rate debt. Our existing hedging transactions have included, and future
hedging transactions may include, entering into interest rate cap agreements or interest rate swap agreements, which involve
risk. Our failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
The phase-out of LIBOR and the transition to alternative benchmark interest rates, such as SOFR and BSBY, could have
adverse effects.
The interest rate on most of our variable rate debt is based on LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate). It is
expected that no new contracts will reference LIBOR and will instead use alternative benchmark interest rates, such as the
Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY"). In 2018, the
Alternative Reference Rate Committee identified SOFR as the alternative to LIBOR. SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of
borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
BSBY is a new series of reference rates made available by Bloomberg Index Services Limited that aims to measure the average
yields at which investors are willing to invest U.S. dollar funds on a senior, unsecured basis in certain global, systemically
important banks, and certain other systemically relevant banks, at various tenors. In connection with the phase-out of LIBOR,
we have incurred floating-rate indebtedness that bears interest based on SOFR and BSBY. Due to the broad use of LIBOR as a
reference rate, all financial market participants, including us, are impacted by the risks associated with this transition and,
therefore, it could adversely affect our operations and cash flows.
Mortgage debt obligations expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in a
property or group of properties subject to mortgage debt.
Mortgage and other secured debt obligations increase our risk of property losses because defaults on indebtedness
secured by properties may result in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders and ultimately our loss of the property securing any
loans for which we are in default. Any foreclosure on a mortgaged property or group of properties could adversely affect the
overall value of our portfolio of properties. For tax purposes, a foreclosure on any of our properties that is subject to a
nonrecourse mortgage loan would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of
the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the
property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds, which could hinder our
ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Code. Foreclosures could also trigger our tax indemnification
obligations under the terms of our tax protection agreements with respect to the sales of certain properties.
Our credit facility restricts our ability to engage in certain business activities, including our ability to incur additional
indebtedness, make capital expenditures, and make certain investments.
Our credit facility contains customary negative covenants and other financial and operating covenants that, among
other things:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness;
restrict our ability to incur additional liens;
restrict our ability to make certain investments (including certain capital expenditures);
restrict our ability to merge with another company;
restrict our ability to sell or dispose of assets;
restrict our ability to make distributions to our stockholders; and
require us to satisfy minimum financial coverage ratios, minimum tangible net worth requirements, and
maximum leverage ratios.
23
These limitations restrict our ability to engage in certain business activities, which could materially and adversely
affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt
obligations. In addition, our credit facility may contain specific cross-default provisions with respect to specified other
indebtedness, giving the lenders the right, in certain circumstances, to declare a default if we are in default under other loans.
Adverse economic and geopolitical conditions and dislocations in the credit markets could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt
obligations.
Our business has been, and may in the future be, affected by market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S.
economy or the real estate industry as a whole, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to
mitigate its spread. Such conditions may materially and adversely affect us as a result of the following potential consequences,
among others:
•
•
•
•
decreased demand for office, retail and multifamily space, which would cause market rental rates and property
values to be negatively impacted;
reduced values of our properties may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain debt
financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans;
our ability to obtain financing on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which
could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt, reduce
our returns from our acquisition and development activities, and increase our future debt service expense; and
one or more lenders under our credit facility could refuse to fund their financing commitment to us or could
otherwise fail to do so, and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lenders on
favorable terms or at all.
If the U.S. economy experiences an economic downturn, we may see increases in bankruptcies and defaults by our
tenants, and we may experience higher vacancy rates and delays in re-leasing vacant space, which could negatively impact our
financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
A cybersecurity incident or other technology disruptions could negatively impact our business, our relationships, and our
reputation.
We use computers and computer networks in most aspects of our business operations. We also use mobile devices to
communicate with our employees, suppliers, business partners, and tenants. These devices are used to transmit sensitive and
confidential information including financial and strategic information about us, employees, business partners, tenants, and other
individuals and organizations. Additionally, we utilize third-party service providers that host personally identifiable information
and other confidential information of our employees, business partners, tenants, and others. We also maintain confidential
financial and business information regarding us and persons and entities with which we do business on our information
technology systems. We have in the past experienced cyberattacks on our computers and computer networks, and, while none
to date have been material, we expect that additional cyberattacks will occur in the future. The theft, destruction, loss, or release
of sensitive and confidential information or operational downtime of the systems used to store and transmit our or our tenants’
confidential business information could result in disruptions to our business, negative publicity, brand damage, violation of
privacy laws, financial liability, difficulty attracting and retaining tenants, loss of business partners, and loss of business
opportunities, any of which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash
available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
Any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could have an adverse effect on the trading price of
our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
Management is required to have an independent auditor assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). We cannot give
any assurances that material weaknesses will not be identified in the future in connection with our compliance with the
provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The existence of any material weakness described above would preclude
a conclusion by management and our independent auditors that we maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting. Our management may be required to devote significant time and expense to remediate any material weaknesses that
may be discovered and may not be able to remediate such material weaknesses in a timely manner. The existence of any
material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could also result in errors in our financial statements that
could require us to restate our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, and cause investors to lose
24
confidence in our reported financial information, any of which could lead to a decline in the per share trading price of our
common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
We may be required to make rent or other concessions or significant capital expenditures to improve our properties in order
to retain and attract tenants, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
Upon expiration of our leases to our tenants, we may be required to make rent or other concessions, accommodate
requests for renovations, build-to-suit remodeling, and other improvements, or provide additional services to our tenants, any of
which would increase our costs. As a result, we may have to make significant capital or other expenditures in order to retain
tenants whose leases expire and to attract new tenants in sufficient numbers. Additionally, we may need to raise capital to make
such expenditures. If we are unable to do so or capital is otherwise unavailable, we may be unable to make the required
expenditures. This could result in non-renewals by tenants upon expiration of their leases. If any of the foregoing were to occur,
it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for
distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
Our use of units in our Operating Partnership as currency to acquire properties could result in stockholder dilution or limit
our ability to sell such properties, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
We have acquired, and in the future may acquire, properties or portfolios of properties through tax deferred
contribution transactions in exchange for OP Units. This acquisition structure may have the effect of, among other things,
reducing the amount of tax depreciation we could deduct over the tax life of the acquired properties and requiring 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 or the allocation of partnership debt to the contributors to maintain their tax bases. These restrictions also
could limit our ability to sell properties at a time, or on terms, that would be favorable absent such restrictions. In addition,
future issuances of OP Units would reduce our ownership percentage in our Operating Partnership and affect the amount of
distributions made to us by our Operating Partnership and, therefore, the amount of distributions we can make to our
stockholders. To the extent that our stockholders do not directly own OP Units, our stockholders will not have any voting rights
with respect to any such issuances or other partnership level activities of our Operating Partnership.
Our success depends on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed, and the loss of one or more of our key
personnel could adversely affect our ability to manage our business and to implement our growth strategies or could create a
negative perception of our company in the capital markets.
Our continued success and our ability to manage anticipated future growth depend, in large part, upon the efforts of
key personnel who have extensive market knowledge and relationships and exercise substantial influence over our operational,
financing, development, and construction activity. Individuals currently considered key personnel each has a national or
regional industry reputation that attracts business and investment opportunities and assists us in negotiations with lenders,
existing and potential tenants, and industry personnel, and we have not currently entered into employment agreements with any
of these individuals. If we lose their services, our relationships with such industry personnel could diminish.
Many of our other senior executives also have extensive experience and strong reputations in the real estate industry,
which aid us in identifying opportunities, having opportunities brought to us, and negotiating with tenants and build-to-suit
prospects. The loss of services of one or more members of our senior management team, or our inability to attract and retain
highly qualified personnel, could adversely affect our business, diminish our investment opportunities, and weaken our
relationships with lenders, business partners, existing and prospective tenants, and industry participants, which could materially
and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and the per share trading price of our common
stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
We may not be able to rebuild our existing properties to their existing specifications if we experience a substantial or
comprehensive loss of such properties, including as a result of hurricanes or other disasters.
In the event that we experience a substantial or comprehensive loss of one of our properties, we may not be able to
rebuild such property to its existing specifications. For example, all but one of the properties in our portfolio as of
December 31, 2021 are located in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, which are areas
particularly susceptible to hurricanes. While we carry insurance on certain of our properties, the amount of our insurance
coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover losses from hurricanes and will be subject to limitations involving large
deductibles or co-payments. Further, reconstruction or improvement of properties would likely require significant upgrades to
25
meet zoning and building code requirements. Environmental and legal restrictions could also restrict the rebuilding of our
properties.
Joint venture investments could be materially and adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our
reliance on co-venturers’ financial condition, and disputes between us and our co-venturers.
In the past, we have, and in the future, we expect to, co-invest with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures or
other entities, acquiring noncontrolling interests in or sharing responsibility for developing properties and managing the affairs
of a property, partnership, joint venture, or other entity. In particular, in connection with the formation transactions related to
our initial public offering, we provided certain of the prior investors with the right to co-develop certain projects with us in the
future and the right to acquire a minority equity interest in certain properties that we may develop in the future, in each case
under certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions set forth in the applicable agreement. Furthermore, we are often a
joint venture partner in development projects. In the event that we co-develop a property together with a third party, we would
be required to share a portion of the development fee. With respect to any such arrangement or any similar arrangement that we
may enter into in the future, we may not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the development,
property, partnership, joint venture, or other entity.
Investments in partnerships, joint ventures or other entities may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present
where a third party is not involved, including the possibility that partners or co-venturers might become bankrupt or fail to fund
their share of required capital contributions. Partners or co-venturers may have economic or other business interests or goals
which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or
objectives, and they may have competing interests in our markets that could create conflicts of interest. Such investments may
also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale or financing, because neither we nor the partner(s) or co-
venturer(s) would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. In addition, a sale or transfer by us to a third party of
our interests in the joint venture may be subject to consent rights or rights of first refusal, in favor of our joint venture partners,
which would in each case restrict our ability to dispose of our interest in the joint venture.
Where we are a limited partner or non-managing member in any partnership or limited liability company, if such entity
takes or expects to take actions that could jeopardize our status as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose
of our interest in such entity. Disputes between us and partners or co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would
increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently,
actions by or disputes with partners or co-venturers might result in subjecting properties owned by the partnership or joint
venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our third-party partners or co-
venturers. Our joint ventures may be subject to debt and, during periods of volatile credit markets, the refinancing of such debt
may require equity capital calls.
Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control and may not be available to us on
commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could limit our ability to, among other things, meet our capital and operating
needs or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required under the Code to, among other things, distribute
annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding
any net capital gain. In addition, we will be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we distribute less
than 100% of our REIT taxable income, including any net capital gains. Because of these distribution requirements, we may not
be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary capital expenditures, from operating cash flow. Consequently, we
intend to rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs. We may not be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms
or at all and any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage and likelihood of default. Our access to third-party sources
of capital depends, in part, on:
•
•
•
•
•
•
general market conditions;
the market’s perception of our growth potential;
our current debt levels;
our current and expected future earnings;
our cash flow and cash distributions; and
the market price per share of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire or develop properties when
strategic opportunities exist, meet the capital and operating needs of our existing properties, satisfy our debt service obligations
or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
26
Expectations of our company relating to environmental, social and governance factors may impose additional costs and
expose us to new risks.
There is an increasing focus from certain investors, tenants, employees, and other stakeholders concerning corporate
responsibility, specifically related to environmental, social and governance factors. Some investors may use these factors to
guide their investment strategies and, in some cases, may choose not to invest in us if they believe our policies relating to
corporate responsibility are inadequate. Third-party providers of corporate responsibility ratings and reports on companies have
increased to meet growing investor demand for measurement of corporate responsibility performance. In addition, the criteria
by which companies’ corporate responsibility practices are assessed may change, which could result in greater expectations of
us and cause us to undertake costly initiatives to satisfy such new criteria. Alternatively, if we elect not to or are unable to
satisfy such new criteria, investors may conclude that our policies with respect to corporate responsibility are inadequate. We
may face reputational damage in the event that our corporate responsibility procedures or standards do not meet the standards
set by various constituencies. Furthermore, if our competitors’ corporate responsibility performance is perceived to be greater
than ours, potential or current investors may elect to invest with our competitors instead. In addition, in the event that we
communicate certain initiatives and goals regarding environmental, social and governance matters, we could fail, or be
perceived to fail, in our achievement of such initiatives or goals, or we could be criticized for the scope of such initiatives or
goals. If we fail to satisfy the expectations of investors, tenants and other stakeholders or our initiatives are not executed as
planned, our reputation and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
We may be subject to ongoing or future litigation, including existing claims relating to the entities that owned the properties
prior to our initial public offering and otherwise in the ordinary course of business, which could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the per share trading price of our common stock and
Series A Preferred Stock, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
We may be subject to ongoing or future litigation, including existing claims relating to the entities that owned the
properties and operated the businesses prior to our initial public offering and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some
of these claims may result in significant defense costs and potentially significant judgments against us, some of which are not,
or cannot be, insured against. We generally intend to vigorously defend ourselves; however, we cannot be certain of the
ultimate outcomes of currently asserted claims or of those that may arise in the future. In addition, we may become subject to
litigation in connection with the formation transactions related to our initial public offering in the event that prior investors
dispute the valuation of their respective interests, the adequacy of the consideration received by them in the formation
transactions or the interpretation of the agreements implementing the formation transactions. Resolution of these types of
matters against us may result in our having to pay significant fines, judgments, or settlements, which, if uninsured, or if the
fines, judgments, and settlements exceed insured levels, could adversely impact our earnings and cash flow, thereby having an
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the per share trading price of our common stock and
Series A Preferred Stock, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations. Certain litigation or the
resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could materially and
adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and adversely
impact our ability to attract officers and directors.
Risks Related to Our Third-Party Construction Business
Adverse economic and regulatory conditions, particularly in the Mid-Atlantic region, could adversely affect our construction
and development business, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
Our third-party construction activities have been, and are expected to continue to be, primarily focused in the Mid-
Atlantic region, although we have also historically undertaken construction projects in various states in the Southeast,
Northeast, and Midwest regions of the U.S. As a result of our concentration of construction projects in the Mid-Atlantic region
of the U.S., we are particularly susceptible to adverse economic or other conditions in markets in this region (such as periods of
economic slowdown or recession, business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, labor
disruptions, and the costs of complying with governmental regulations or increased regulation), as well as to natural disasters
that occur in this region. We cannot assure you that our target markets will support construction and development projects of
the type in which we typically engage. While we have the ability to provide a wide range of development and construction
services, any adverse economic or real estate developments in the Mid-Atlantic region could materially and adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
27
There can be no assurance that all of the projects for which our construction business is engaged as general contractor will
be commenced or completed in their entirety in accordance with the anticipated cost, or that we will achieve the financial
results we expect from the construction of such properties, which could materially and adversely affect our results of
operations, cash flow, and growth prospects.
For serving as general contractor, our construction business earns profit equal to the difference between the total
construction fees that we charge and the costs that we incur to build a property. If the decision is made by a third-party client to
abandon a construction project for any reason, our anticipated fee revenue from such project could be significantly lower than
we expect. In addition, we defer pre-contract costs when such costs are directly associated with specific anticipated construction
contracts and their recovery is deemed probable. In the event that we determine that the execution of a construction contract is
no longer probable, we would be required to expense those pre-contract costs in the period in which such determination is
made, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations in such period. Our ability to complete the projects
in our construction pipeline on time and on budget could be materially and adversely affected as a result of the following
factors, among others:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
shortages of subcontractors, equipment, materials, or skilled labor;
unscheduled delays in the delivery of ordered materials and equipment;
unanticipated increases in the cost of equipment, labor, and raw materials;
unforeseen engineering, environmental, or geological problems;
weather interferences;
difficulties in obtaining necessary permits or in meeting permit conditions;
client acceptance delays; or
work stoppages and other labor disputes.
If we do not complete construction projects on time and on budget, it could have a material adverse effect on us,
including our results of operations, cash flow, and growth prospects.
We recognize revenue for the majority of our construction projects based on estimates; therefore, variations of actual results
from our assumptions may reduce our profitability.
In accordance with GAAP, we record revenue as work on the contract progresses. The cumulative amount of revenues
recorded on a contract at a specified point in time is that percentage of total estimated revenues that costs incurred to date bear
to estimated total costs. Accordingly, contract revenues and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised as the work
progresses. Adjustments are reflected in contract revenues in the period when such estimates are revised. Estimates are based on
management’s reasonable assumptions and experience, but are only estimates. Variations of actual results from assumptions on
an unusually large project or on a number of average size projects could be material. We are also required to immediately
recognize the full amount of the estimated loss on a contract when estimates indicate such a loss. Such adjustments and accrued
losses could result in reduced profitability, which could negatively impact our cash flow from operations.
Construction project sites are inherently dangerous workplaces, and, as a result, our failure to maintain safe construction
project sites could result in deaths or injuries, reduced profitability, the loss of projects or clients, and possible exposure to
litigation, any of which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and
reputation.
Construction and maintenance sites often put our employees, employees of subcontractors, our tenants, and members
of the public in close proximity with mechanized equipment, moving vehicles, chemical and manufacturing processes, and
highly regulated materials. On many sites, we are responsible for safety and, accordingly, must implement appropriate safety
procedures. If we fail to implement these procedures or if the procedures we implement are ineffective, we may suffer the loss
of or injury to our employees, fines, or expose our tenants and members of the public to potential injury, thereby creating
exposure to litigation. As a result, our failure to maintain adequate safety standards could result in reduced profitability or the
loss of projects, clients, and tenants, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations,
cash flow, and reputation.
Our failure to successfully and profitably bid on construction contracts could materially and adversely affect our results of
operations and cash flow.
Many of the costs related to our construction business, such as personnel costs, are fixed and are incurred by us
irrespective of the level of activity of our construction business. The success of our construction business depends, in part, on
our ability to successfully and profitably bid on construction contracts for private and public sector clients. Contract proposals
28
and negotiations are complex and frequently involve a lengthy bidding and selection process, which can be impacted by a
number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including market conditions, financing arrangements, and required
governmental approvals. If we are unable to maintain a consistent backlog of third-party construction contracts, our results of
operations and cash flow could be materially and adversely affected.
If we fail to timely complete a construction project, miss a required performance standard, or otherwise fail to adequately
perform on a construction project, we may incur losses or financial penalties, which could materially and adversely affect
our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, ability to service our debt
obligations, and reputation.
We may contractually commit to a construction client that we will complete a construction project by a scheduled date
at a fixed cost. We may also commit that a construction project, when completed, will achieve specified performance standards.
If the construction project is not completed by the scheduled date or fails to meet required performance standards, we may
either incur significant additional costs or be held responsible for the costs incurred by the client to rectify damages due to late
completion or failure to achieve the required performance standards. In addition, completion of projects can be adversely
affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including unavoidable delays from governmental inaction, public
opposition, inability to obtain financing, weather conditions, unavailability of vendor materials, availabilities of subcontractors,
changes in the project scope of services requested by our clients, industrial accidents, environmental hazards, labor disruptions,
and other factors. In some cases, if we fail to meet required performance standards or milestone requirements, we may also be
subject to agreed-upon financial damages in the form of liquidated damages, which are determined pursuant to the contract
governing the construction project. To the extent that these events occur, the total costs of the project could exceed our
estimates and our contracted cost and we could experience reduced profits or, in some cases, incur a loss on a project, which
may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and
ability to service our debt obligations. Failure to meet performance standards or complete performance on a timely basis could
also adversely affect our reputation.
Unionization or work stoppages could have a material adverse effect on us.
From time to time, our construction business and the subcontractors we engage may use unionized construction
workers, which requires us to pay the prevailing wage in a jurisdiction to such workers. Due to the highly labor-intensive and
price-competitive nature of the construction business, the cost of unionization or prevailing wage requirements for new
developments could be substantial, which could adversely affect our profitability. In addition, the use of unionized construction
workers could cause us to become subject to organized work stoppages, which would materially and adversely affect our ability
to meet our construction timetables and could significantly increase the cost of completing a construction project.
Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry
Our business is subject to risks associated with real estate assets and the real estate industry, which could materially and
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to
service our debt obligations.
Our ability to pay expected dividends to our stockholders depends on our ability to generate revenues in excess of
expenses, scheduled principal payments on debt, and capital expenditure requirements. Events and conditions generally
applicable to owners and operators of real property that are beyond our control may decrease cash available for distribution and
the value of our properties. These events include many of the risks set forth above under "—Risks Related to Our Business," as
well as the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
oversupply or reduction in demand for office, retail, or multifamily space in our markets;
adverse changes in financial conditions of buyers, sellers, and tenants of properties;
vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms, including possible market pressures to offer tenants
rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights, or below-market renewal options, and the need
to periodically repair, renovate, and re-lease space;
increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities, real estate taxes, and state and local taxes;
increased property taxes due to property tax changes or reassessments;
a favorable interest rate environment that may result in a significant number of potential residents of our
multifamily apartment communities deciding to purchase homes instead of renting;
rent control or stabilization laws or other laws regulating rental housing, which could prevent us from raising
rents to offset increases in operating costs;
29
•
•
•
•
civil unrest, acts of war, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters, including hurricanes, which may result in
uninsured or underinsured losses;
decreases in the underlying value of our real estate;
changing submarket demographics; and
changing traffic patterns.
In addition, periods of economic downturn or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the
public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or an increased incidence of
defaults under existing leases, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance
of our properties and harm our financial condition.
The real estate investments made, and to be made, by us are difficult to sell quickly. As a result, our ability to promptly
sell one or more properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial, and investment conditions is limited.
Return of capital and realization of gains, if any, from an investment generally will occur upon disposition or refinancing of the
underlying property. We may be unable to realize our investment objectives by disposition or refinancing at attractive prices
within any given period of time or may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy. In particular, our ability to dispose of
one or more properties within a specific time period is subject to certain limitations imposed by our tax protection agreements,
as well as weakness in or even the lack of an established market for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects
of prospective purchasers, changes in national or international economic conditions, and changes in laws, regulations or fiscal
policies of jurisdictions in which the property is located.
In addition, the Code imposes restrictions on a REIT’s ability to dispose of properties that are not applicable to other
types of real estate companies. In particular, the tax laws applicable to REITs effectively require that we hold our properties for
investment, rather than primarily for sale in the ordinary course of business, which may cause us to forego or defer sales of
properties that otherwise would be in our best interests. Therefore, we may not be able to vary our portfolio in response to
economic or other conditions promptly or on favorable terms.
Our tax protection agreements could limit our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of certain properties.
In connection with the formation transactions related to our initial public offering, our Operating Partnership entered
into tax protection agreements that provide that if we dispose of any interest in certain protected properties in a taxable
transaction prior to the seventh (or, in a limited number of cases, the tenth) anniversary of the completion of the formation
transactions, subject to certain exceptions, we will indemnify certain contributors, including Messrs. Hoffler, Haddad, Kirk, and
Apperson and their respective affiliates and certain of our other officers, for their tax liabilities attributable to the built-in gain
that existed with respect to such property interests as of the time of our initial public offering, and the tax liabilities incurred as
a result of such tax protection payment. In addition, in connection with certain acquisitions completed since our initial public
offering, we entered into tax protection agreements that require us to indemnify the contributors for their tax liabilities in the
event that we dispose of the properties subject to the tax protection agreements, and may enter into similar agreements in
connection with future property acquisitions. Therefore, although it may be in our stockholders’ best interests that we sell one
of these properties, it may be economically prohibitive or unattractive for us to do so because of these obligations. Moreover, as
a result of these potential tax liabilities, Messrs. Hoffler, Haddad, Kirk, and Apperson and certain of our other officers may
have a conflict of interest with respect to our determination as to certain of our properties.
As an owner of real estate, we could incur significant costs and liabilities related to environmental matters.
Under various federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, as a current or former owner
or operator of real property, we may be liable for costs and damages resulting from the presence or discharge of hazardous or
toxic substances, waste, or petroleum products at, on, in, under, or migrating from such property, including costs to investigate
and clean up such contamination and liability for harm to natural resources. Such laws often impose liability without regard to
whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination, and the liability may be
joint and several. These liabilities could be substantial and the cost of any required remediation, removal, fines, or other costs
could exceed the value of the property and our aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of contamination or the failure to
remediate contamination at our properties may expose us to third-party liability for costs of remediation and personal or
property damage or materially and adversely affect our ability to sell, lease, or develop our properties or to borrow using the
properties as collateral. In addition, environmental laws may create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for
damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on our properties,
30
environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which the properties may be used or businesses may be operated,
and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. See "Part I—Business—Regulation."
Some of our properties have been or may be impacted by contamination arising from current or prior uses of the
property, or adjacent properties, for commercial or industrial purposes. Such contamination may arise from spills of petroleum
or hazardous substances or releases from tanks used to store such materials. For example, some of the tenants of properties in
our retail portfolio operate gas stations or other businesses that utilize storage tanks to store petroleum products, propane, or
wastes typically associated with automobile service or other operations conducted at the properties, and spills or leaks of
hazardous materials from those storage tanks could expose us to liability. See "Part I—Business—Regulation—Environmental
Matters." In addition to the foregoing, while we obtained Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for each of the properties in
our portfolio, the assessments are limited in scope and may have failed to identify all environmental conditions or concerns. For
example, they do not generally include soil sampling, subsurface investigations or hazardous materials surveys. Furthermore,
we do not have current Phase I Environmental Site Assessment reports for all of the properties in our portfolio and, as such,
may not be aware of all potential or existing environmental contamination liabilities at the properties in our portfolio. As a
result, we could potentially incur material liability for these issues.
As the owner of the buildings on our properties, we could face liability for the presence of hazardous materials, such as
asbestos or lead, or other adverse conditions, such as poor indoor air quality, in our buildings. Environmental laws govern the
presence, maintenance, and removal of hazardous materials in buildings, and if we do not comply with such laws, we could face
fines for such noncompliance. Also, we could be liable to third parties, such as occupants of the buildings, for damages related
to exposure to hazardous materials or adverse conditions in our buildings, and we could incur material expenses with respect to
abatement or remediation of hazardous materials or other adverse conditions in our buildings. In addition, some of our tenants
may routinely handle and use hazardous or regulated substances and wastes as part of their operations at our properties, which
are subject to regulation. Such environmental and health and safety laws and regulations could subject us or our tenants to
liability resulting from these activities. Environmental liabilities could affect a tenant’s ability to make rental payments to us,
and changes in laws could increase the potential liability for noncompliance. This may result in significant unanticipated
expenditures or may otherwise materially and adversely affect our operations, or those of our tenants, which could in turn have
an adverse effect on us. If we incur material environmental liabilities in the future, we may face significant remediation costs,
and we may find it difficult to sell any affected properties.
We are subject to risks from natural disasters, such as hurricanes and flooding, and the risks associated with the physical
effects of climate change.
Natural disasters and severe weather such as flooding, earthquakes, tornadoes or hurricanes may result in significant
damage to our properties. Many of our properties are located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Baltimore, Maryland, and elsewhere
in the Mid-Atlantic, which historically have experienced heightened risk for natural disasters like hurricanes and flooding. The
extent of our casualty losses and loss in operating income in connection with such events is a function of the severity of the
event and the total amount of exposure in the affected area. When we have geographic concentration of exposures, a single
catastrophe (such as an earthquake) or destructive weather event (such as a tornado or hurricane) affecting a region may have a
significant negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our financial results may be adversely affected
by our exposure to losses arising from natural disasters or severe weather.
We also are exposed to risks associated with inclement winter weather, particularly in the Mid-Atlantic, including
increased costs for the removal of snow and ice. Inclement weather also could increase the need for maintenance and repair of
our properties.
Lastly, to the extent that climate change does occur, its physical effects could have a material adverse effect on our
properties, operations, and business. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our markets could
experience increases in storm intensity. These conditions could result in physical damage to our properties or declining demand
for space in our buildings or the inability of us to operate the buildings at all in the areas affected by these conditions. Climate
change also may have indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) property insurance on
terms we find acceptable, increasing the cost of energy, and increasing the cost of snow removal or related costs at our
properties. Proposed legislation and regulatory actions to address climate change could increase utility and other costs of
operating our properties which, if not offset by rising rental income, would reduce our net income. Should the impact of climate
change be material in nature or occur for lengthy periods of time, our properties, operations, or business would be adversely
affected.
31
We may be subject to unknown or contingent liabilities related to acquired properties and properties that we may acquire in
the future, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
Properties that we have acquired and properties that we may acquire in the future may be subject to unknown or
contingent liabilities for which we may have no recourse, or only limited recourse, against the sellers. In general, the
representations and warranties provided under the transaction agreements related to the purchase of properties that we acquire
may not survive the completion of the transactions. Furthermore, indemnification under such agreements may be limited and
subject to various materiality thresholds, a significant deductible, or an aggregate cap on losses. As a result, there is no
guarantee that we will recover any amounts with respect to losses due to breaches by the sellers of their representations and
warranties. In addition, the total amount of costs and expenses that may be incurred with respect to liabilities associated with
these properties may exceed our expectations, and we may experience other unanticipated adverse effects, all of which may
materially and adversely affect us.
Our properties may contain or develop harmful mold or suffer from other air quality issues, which could lead to liability for
adverse health effects and costs of remediation.
When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if
the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins
or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor
sources, and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses, and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants
above certain levels can be alleged to cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other
reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties could require us
to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected
property or increase indoor ventilation. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could
expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants, or others if property damage or personal injury is alleged to
have occurred.
We may incur significant costs complying with various federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and covenants that are
applicable to our properties.
Properties are subject to various covenants and federal, state, and local laws and regulatory requirements, including
permitting and licensing requirements. Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions, and
restrictive covenants imposed by community developers may restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain
approval from local officials or community standards organizations at any time with respect to our properties, including prior to
developing or acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of our existing properties. Among other things,
these restrictions may relate to fire and safety, seismic, or hazardous material abatement requirements. There can be no
assurance that existing laws and regulatory policies will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future development,
acquisitions, or renovations, or that additional regulations will not be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional
costs. Our growth strategy may be affected by our ability to obtain permits, licenses, and zoning relief.
In addition, federal and state laws and regulations, including laws such as the ADA and the Fair Housing Amendment
Act of 1988 ("FHAA"), impose further restrictions on our properties and operations. Under the ADA and the FHAA, all public
accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Some of our properties may
currently be in non-compliance with the ADA or the FHAA. If one or more of the properties in our portfolio is not in
compliance with the ADA, the FHAA, or any other regulatory requirements, we may incur additional costs to bring the property
into compliance, incur governmental fines or the award of damages to private litigants, or be unable to refinance such
properties. In addition, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will require
us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure
Daniel Hoffler and his affiliates own, directly or indirectly, a substantial beneficial interest in our company on a fully
diluted basis and have the ability to exercise significant influence on our company and our Operating Partnership, including
the approval of significant corporate transactions.
As of December 31, 2021, Daniel Hoffler, our Executive Chairman, owned approximately 6.1% and, collectively,
Messrs. Hoffler, Haddad, and Kirk owned approximately 10.6% of the combined outstanding shares of our common stock and
OP Units of our Operating Partnership (which OP Units may be redeemable for shares of our common stock). Consequently,
32
these individuals may be able to significantly influence the outcome of matters submitted for stockholder action, including the
approval of significant corporate transactions, including business combinations, consolidations, and mergers.
Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future between the interests of our stockholders and the interests of
holders of units in our Operating Partnership, which may impede business decisions that could benefit our stockholders.
Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates,
and our Operating Partnership or any partner thereof. Our directors and officers have duties to our company under Maryland
law in connection with their management of our company. At the same time, we, as the general partner of our Operating
Partnership, have fiduciary duties and obligations to our Operating Partnership and its limited partners under Virginia law and
the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership in connection with the management of our Operating Partnership. Our
fiduciary duties and obligations as the general partner of our Operating Partnership may come into conflict with the duties of
our directors and officers to our company. Messrs. Hoffler, Haddad, and Kirk own a significant interest in our Operating
Partnership as limited partners and may have conflicts of interest in making decisions that affect both our stockholders and the
limited partners of our Operating Partnership.
Under Virginia law, a general partner of a Virginia limited partnership has fiduciary duties of loyalty and care to the
partnership and its partners and must discharge its duties and exercise its rights as general partner under the partnership
agreement or Virginia law consistently with the obligation of good faith and fair dealing. The partnership agreement provides
that, in the event of a conflict between the interests of our Operating Partnership or any partner, and the separate interests of our
company or our stockholders, we, in our capacity as the general partner of our Operating Partnership, are under no obligation
not to give priority to the separate interests of our company or our stockholders, and that any action or failure to act on our part
or on the part of our directors that gives priority to the separate interests of our company or our stockholders that does not result
in a violation of the contractual rights of the limited partners of the Operating Partnership under its partnership agreement does
not violate the duty of loyalty that we, in our capacity as the general partner of our Operating Partnership, owe to the Operating
Partnership and its partners.
Additionally, the partnership agreement provides that we will not be liable to the Operating Partnership or any partner
for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by the Operating Partnership or any
limited partner, except for liability for our intentional harm or gross negligence. Our Operating Partnership must indemnify us,
our directors and officers, and our designees from and against any and all claims that relate to the operations of our Operating
Partnership, unless: (i) an act or omission of the person was material to the matter giving rise to the action and either was
committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the person actually received an improper
personal benefit in violation or breach of the partnership agreement, or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the
indemnified person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Our Operating Partnership must also
pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses of any such person upon its receipt of a written affirmation of the person’s good faith
belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification has been met and a written undertaking to repay any amounts
paid or advanced if it is ultimately determined that the person did not meet the standard of conduct for indemnification. Our
Operating Partnership will not indemnify or advance funds to any person with respect to any action initiated by the person
seeking indemnification without our approval (except for any proceeding brought to enforce such person’s right to
indemnification under the partnership agreement) or if the person is found to be liable to our Operating Partnership on any
portion of any claim in the action.
Our charter contains certain provisions restricting the ownership and transfer of our stock that may delay, defer, or prevent
a change of control transaction that might involve a premium price for our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise
believe to be in their best interests.
Our charter contains certain ownership limits with respect to our stock. Our charter, among other restrictions, prohibits
the beneficial or constructive ownership by any person of more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more
restrictive, of the outstanding shares of any class or series of our stock, excluding any shares that are not treated as outstanding
for federal income tax purposes. Our board of directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, may exempt a person, prospectively
or retroactively, from this ownership limit if certain conditions are satisfied. This ownership limit as well as other restrictions on
ownership and transfer of our stock in our charter may:
•
•
discourage a tender offer or other transactions or a change in management or of control that might involve a
premium price for our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests; and
result in the transfer of shares acquired in excess of the restrictions to a trust for the benefit of a charitable
beneficiary and, as a result, the forfeiture by the acquirer of certain of the benefits of owning the additional
shares.
33
We could increase the number of authorized shares of stock, classify and reclassify unissued stock, and issue stock without
stockholder approval.
Our board of directors, without stockholder approval, has the power under our charter to amend our charter to increase
or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we are
authorized to issue. In addition, under our charter, our board of directors, without stockholder approval, has the power to
authorize us to issue authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and to classify or reclassify any
unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock into one or more classes or series of stock and set the preference,
conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, or
terms or conditions of redemption for such newly classified or reclassified shares. As a result, we may issue series or classes of
common stock or preferred stock with preferences, dividends, powers, and rights, voting or otherwise, that are senior to, or
otherwise conflict with, the rights of holders of our common stock. Although our board of directors has no such intention at the
present time, it could establish a class or series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, delay, defer,
or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or that our
stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests.
Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes of control, which may discourage third parties from conducting a
tender offer or seeking other change of control transactions that could involve a premium price for our common stock or
that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests.
Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") may have the effect of inhibiting a third
party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could
provide the holders of shares of our common stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market
price of such shares, including:
•
•
"business combination" provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between
us and an "interested stockholder" (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the
voting power of our outstanding voting shares or an affiliate or associate of ours who was the beneficial owner,
directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our then outstanding stock at any time within the
two-year period immediately prior to the date in question) or an affiliate thereof for five years after the most
recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter impose certain fair price
and supermajority stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and
"control share" provisions that provide that holders of "control shares" of our company (defined as shares of
stock that, when aggregated with other shares of stock controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to
exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a "control share
acquisition" (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding
"control shares") have no voting rights with respect to their control shares, except to the extent approved by our
stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter,
excluding all interested shares.
By resolution of our board of directors, we have opted out of the business combination provisions of the MGCL and
provided that any business combination between us and any other person is exempt from the business combination provisions
of the MGCL, provided that the business combination is first approved by our board of directors (including a majority of
directors who are not affiliates or associates of such persons). In addition, pursuant to a provision in our bylaws, we have opted
out of the control share provisions of the MGCL. However, our board of directors may by resolution elect to opt in to the
business combination provisions of the MGCL and we may, by amendment to our bylaws, opt in to the control share provisions
of the MGCL in the future.
Certain provisions of the MGCL permit our board of directors, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is
currently provided in our charter or bylaws, to implement certain corporate governance provisions, some of which are not
currently applicable to us. If implemented, these provisions may have the effect of limiting or precluding a third party from
making an unsolicited acquisition proposal for us or of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of us under
circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of shares of our common stock with the opportunity to realize a
premium over the then current market price. Our charter contains a provision whereby we elect, at such time as we become
eligible to do so, to be subject to the provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL relating to the filling of vacancies on our

Certain provisions in the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership may delay, make more difficult, or prevent
unsolicited acquisitions of us.
Provisions in the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership may delay, make more difficult, or prevent
unsolicited acquisitions of us or changes of our control. These provisions could discourage third parties from making proposals
involving an unsolicited acquisition of us or change of our control, although some of our stockholders might consider such
proposals, if made, desirable. These provisions include, among others:
•
•
•
•
•
redemption rights;
a requirement that we may not be removed as the general partner of our Operating Partnership without our
consent;
transfer restrictions on OP Units;
our ability, as general partner, in some cases, to amend the partnership agreement and to cause the Operating
Partnership to issue units with terms that could delay, defer, or prevent a merger or other change of control of us
or our Operating Partnership without the consent of the limited partners; and
the right of the limited partners to consent to direct or indirect transfers of the general partnership interest,
including as a result of a merger or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, in the event that such transfer
requires approval by our common stockholders.
The limited partners in our Operating Partnership (other than us) owned approximately 24.7% of the outstanding OP
Units of our Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2021.
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.
Under Maryland law, generally, a director will not be liable if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a
manner he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like
position would use under similar circumstances. In addition, our charter limits the liability of our directors and officers to us
and our stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from:
•
•
actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or
active and deliberate dishonesty by the director or officer that was established by a final judgment as being
material to the cause of action adjudicated.
Our charter authorizes us to indemnify our directors and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the
maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. Our bylaws require us to indemnify each director and officer, to the maximum
extent permitted by Maryland law, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made, or threatened to be made, a
party by reason of his or her service to us. In addition, we may be obligated to advance the defense costs incurred by our
directors and officers. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors
whereby we agreed to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law against all
expenses and liabilities incurred in their capacity as an officer or director, subject to limited exceptions. As a result, we and our
stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors and officers than might otherwise exist absent the current
provisions in our charter and bylaws and the indemnification agreements or that might exist with other companies.
We are a holding company with no direct operations and, as such, we will rely on funds received from our Operating
Partnership to pay liabilities, and the interests of our stockholders will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities and
obligations of our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.
We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership. We do
not have, apart from an interest in our Operating Partnership, any independent operations. As a result, we rely on cash
distributions from our Operating Partnership to pay any dividends we might declare on shares of our common stock and
preferred stock. We also rely on distributions from our Operating Partnership to meet any of our obligations, including any tax
liability on taxable income allocated to us from our Operating Partnership. In addition, because we are a holding company, your
claims as a stockholder will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations (whether or not for
borrowed money) of our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, or
reorganization, our assets and those of our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries will be available to satisfy the claims of
our stockholders only after all of our and our Operating Partnership’s and its subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations have been
paid in full.
35
Our Operating Partnership may issue additional OP Units to third parties without the consent of our stockholders, which
would reduce our ownership percentage in our Operating Partnership and could have a dilutive effect on the amount of
distributions made to us by our Operating Partnership and, therefore, the amount of distributions we can make to our
stockholders.
As of December 31, 2021, we owned 75.3% of the outstanding OP Units in our Operating Partnership. We regularly
have issued OP Units to third parties as consideration for acquisitions, and we may continue to do so in the future. Any such
future issuances would reduce our ownership percentage in our Operating Partnership and could affect the amount of
distributions made to us by our Operating Partnership and, therefore, the amount of distributions we can make to our
stockholders. Because stockholders do not directly own OP Units, you do not have any voting rights with respect to any such
issuances or other partnership level activities of our Operating Partnership.
Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT
Failure to maintain our qualification as a REIT would cause us to be taxed as a regular corporation, which would
substantially reduce funds available for distribution to our stockholders.
We have elected to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We have not requested and do not plan to request a
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") that we qualify as a REIT. Therefore, we cannot be assured that we will
qualify as a REIT, or that we will remain qualified as such in the future. If we fail to qualify as a REIT or otherwise lose our
REIT status in any taxable year, we will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce the funds available for
distribution to our stockholders for each of the years involved because:
•
•
•
we would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income and
would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates;
we could be subject to increased state and local taxes; and
unless we are entitled to relief under certain U.S. federal income tax laws, we could not re-elect REIT status
until the fifth calendar year after the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT.
In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will no longer be required to make distributions. As a result of all these
factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and it would adversely
affect the value of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flows.
Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain federal, state, and local taxes on our income
and assets, including taxes on any undistributed income, tax on income from some activities conducted as a result of a
foreclosure, and state or local income, property, and transfer taxes. In addition, our TRS will be subject to regular corporate
federal, state, and local taxes. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise
attractive investments.
To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other
things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders,
and the ownership of our capital stock. In order to meet these tests, we may be required to forego investments we might
otherwise make. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our performance.
In particular, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of
cash, cash items, government securities, and qualified real estate assets. The remainder of our investment in securities (other
than government securities, securities of TRSs, and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one
issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than government securities, securities of TRSs,
and qualified real estate assets) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 20% of the value of our total
assets can be represented by the securities of one or more TRSs. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any
calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory
relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be
36
required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts
available for distribution to our stockholders.
The prohibited transactions tax may limit our ability to dispose of our properties.
A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are
sales or other dispositions of property other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary
course of business. We may be subject to the prohibited transaction tax equal to 100% of the net gain upon a disposition of real
property. Although a safe harbor to the characterization of the sale of real property by a REIT as a prohibited transaction is
available, we cannot assure you that we can comply with the safe harbor or that we will avoid owning property that may be
characterized as held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Consequently, we may choose not to
engage in certain sales of our properties or may conduct such sales through our TRS, which would be subject to federal and
state income taxation.
Changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws, including the enactment of certain tax reform measures, could have an adverse
impact on our business and financial results.
In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made to the U.S. federal income
tax laws applicable to investments in real estate and REITs, including the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the
"TCJA"). Federal legislation intended to ameliorate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid,
Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, has been enacted that makes technical corrections to, or modifies on a
temporary basis, certain of the provisions of the TCJA, and it is possible that additional such legislation may be enacted in the
future. The full impact of the TCJA and the CARES Act may not become evident for some period of time. In addition, there can
be no assurance that future changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws or regulatory changes will not be proposed or enacted
that could impact our business and financial results. The REIT rules are constantly under review by persons involved in the
legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department, which may result in revisions to regulations and
interpretations in addition to statutory changes. If enacted, certain of such changes could have an adverse impact on our
business and financial results.
We cannot predict whether, when, or to what extent any new U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations, or
rulings will impact the real estate investment industry or REITs. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors
regarding the effect of potential future changes to the federal tax laws on an investment in our shares.
The ability of our board of directors to revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval may cause adverse
consequences to our stockholders.
Our charter provides that our board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the
approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT. If we
cease to qualify as a REIT, we would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and would no longer be
required to distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders, which may have adverse consequences on the total return
to our stockholders.
Our ownership of our TRS will be subject to limitations and our transactions with our TRS will cause us to be subject to a
100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on arm’s-length terms.
Overall, no more than 20% of the value of a REIT’s assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more TRS. In
addition, the Code limits the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent REIT to assure that the TRS is
subject to an appropriate level of corporate taxation. The Code also imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between
a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We will monitor the value of our respective
investments in our TRS for the purpose of ensuring compliance with TRS ownership limitations and will structure our
transactions with our TRS on terms that we believe are arm’s length to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above.
There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with the 20% REIT subsidiaries limitation or to avoid
application of the 100% excise tax.
Shareholders may be restricted from acquiring or transferring certain amounts of our capital stock.
The restrictions on ownership and transfer in our charter may inhibit market activity in our capital stock and restrict
our business combination opportunities.
37
In order to qualify as a REIT for each taxable year after 2013, five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Code, may
not own, beneficially or constructively, more than 50% in value of our issued and outstanding stock at any time during the last
half of a taxable year. Attribution rules in the Code determine if any individual or entity beneficially or constructively owns our
capital stock under this requirement. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own our capital stock during at least
335 days of a taxable year for each taxable year after 2013. To help ensure that we meet these tests, our charter restricts the
acquisition and ownership of shares of our capital stock.
Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary to preserve our
qualification as a REIT. Unless exempted by our board of directors, our charter prohibits any person from beneficially or
constructively owning more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of
any class or series of our capital or preferred stock. Our board of directors may not grant an exemption from this restriction to
any proposed transferee whose ownership in excess of 9.8% of the value of our outstanding shares would result in our failing to
qualify as a REIT. This restriction, as well as other restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply, however, if our
board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT.
Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
The maximum tax rate applicable to "qualified dividend income" payable to U.S. stockholders that are taxed at
individual rates is 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates on qualified
dividend income. Instead, our ordinary dividends generally are taxed at the higher tax rates applicable to ordinary income, the
current maximum rate of which is 37%. However, for taxable years prior to 2026, individual stockholders are generally allowed
to deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary dividends distributed by us, subject to certain limitations, which would
reduce the maximum marginal effective tax rate for individuals on the receipt of such ordinary dividends to 29.6%.
If our Operating Partnership failed to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, we would cease to qualify as
a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences.
We believe that our Operating Partnership will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a
partnership, our Operating Partnership will not be subject to federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners,
including us, will be allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of our Operating Partnership’s income.
We cannot assure you, however, that the IRS will not challenge the status of our Operating Partnership or any other subsidiary
partnership in which we own an interest as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such
a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating our Operating Partnership or any such other subsidiary partnership as an
entity taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the
asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, we would likely cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of our Operating
Partnership or any subsidiary partnerships to qualify as a partnership could cause it to become subject to federal and state
corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of cash available for debt service and for distribution to its
partners, including us.
To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions, and the
unavailability of such capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all, may cause us to curtail our investment
activities or dispose of assets at inopportune times or on unfavorable terms, which could materially and adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt
obligations.
To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income each
year, excluding net capital gains, and we will be subject to regular corporate income taxes to the extent that we distribute less
than 100% of our REIT taxable income each year. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the
amount, if any, by which distributions 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. In order to maintain our REIT
status and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, we may need to borrow funds to meet the REIT distribution
requirements even if the then prevailing market conditions are not favorable for these borrowings. These borrowing needs could
result from, among other things, differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for federal
income tax purposes, or the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required principal or
amortization payments. These sources, however, may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party
sources of capital depends on a number of factors, including the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current debt
levels, the market price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, and our current and potential future earnings. We
cannot assure you that we will have access to such capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all, which may cause us
to curtail our investment activities or dispose of assets at inopportune times or on unfavorable terms, which could materially
38
and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to
service our debt obligations.
Risks Related to Our Capital Stock
We may be unable to make distributions at expected levels, which could result in a decrease in the market price of our
common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
We intend to continue to pay regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders. All distributions will be made at the
discretion of our board of directors and will be based upon, among other factors, our historical and projected results of
operations, financial condition, cash flows and liquidity, maintenance of our REIT qualification and other tax considerations,
capital expenditure and other expense obligations, debt covenants, contractual prohibitions or other limitations, applicable law,
and such other matters as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time. If sufficient cash is not available for
distribution from our operations, we may have to fund distributions from working capital, borrow to provide funds for such
distributions, or reduce the amount of such distributions. To the extent we borrow to fund distributions, our future interest costs
would increase, thereby reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution from what they otherwise would have been. If
cash available for distribution generated by our assets is less than our current estimate, or if such cash available for distribution
decreases in future periods from expected levels, our inability to make the expected distributions could result in a decrease in
the market price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
Our ability to make distributions may also be limited by our credit facility. Under the terms of the credit facility, our
ability to make distributions during any twelve-month period is limited to the greater of (1) 95% of our adjusted funds from
operations (as defined in the credit agreement) or (2) the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments (as defined in the credit
agreement) required for us to (a) maintain our REIT status and (b) avoid the payment of federal or state income or excise tax. In
addition, if a default or events of default exist or would result from a distribution, we are precluded from making certain
distributions other than those required to allow us to maintain our status as a REIT.
As a result of the foregoing, we may not be able to make distributions in the future, and our inability to make
distributions, or to make distributions at expected levels, could result in a decrease in the per share price of our common stock
and Series A Preferred Stock.
The market price and trading volume of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock may be volatile and could decline
substantially in the future.
The market price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock may be volatile in the future. In addition, the
trading volume in our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur.
We cannot assure stockholders that the market price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock will not fluctuate or
decline significantly in the future, including as a result of factors unrelated to our operating performance or prospects in 2022
compared to 2021. In particular, the market price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock could be subject to wide
fluctuations in response to a number of factors, including, among others, the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results or dividends;
changes in our FFO, Normalized FFO, or earnings estimates;
publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry;
increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our shares to demand a higher yield;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
adverse market reaction to any additional debt we incur in the future;
additions or departures of key management personnel;
actions by institutional stockholders;
speculation in the press or investment community;
the realization of any of the other risk factors presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K;
the extent of investor interest in our securities;
the general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of our equity securities in comparison to other equity
securities, including securities issued by other real estate-based companies;
changes in the federal government;
our underlying asset value;
investor confidence in the stock and bond markets generally;
further changes in tax laws;
future equity issuances;
39
•
•
•
•
•
•
failure to meet earnings estimates;
failure to meet and maintain REIT qualifications;
changes in our credit ratings;
general market and economic conditions;
our issuance of debt securities or additional preferred equity securities; and
our financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility
in the price of their common stock. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s
attention and resources, which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow, cash available for distribution, ability to service our debt obligations, and the per share trading price of our common stock
and Series A Preferred Stock.
Increases in market interest rates may have an adverse effect on the trading prices of our common stock and Series A
Preferred Stock as prospective purchasers of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock may expect a higher dividend
yield and as an increased cost of borrowing may decrease our funds available for distribution.
One of the factors that will influence the trading prices of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock will be the
dividend yield on the stock (as a percentage of the price of our common stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable)
relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates, which are currently at low levels relative to historical rates,
may lead prospective purchasers of our common stock or Series A Preferred Stock to expect a higher dividend yield (with a
resulting decline in the trading prices of our common stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable) and higher interest rates
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 stock or Series A Preferred Stock to decrease.
Our Series A Preferred Stock is subordinate to our existing and future debt, and the interests of holders of our Series A
Preferred Stock could be diluted by the issuance of additional shares of preferred stock and by other transactions.
Our Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior to all of our existing and future indebtedness, any classes and series of our
capital stock expressly designated as ranking senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and other non-equity claims on us and our assets available to satisfy claims against us,
including claims in bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceedings. Subject to limitations prescribed by Maryland law and our
charter, our board of directors is authorized to issue, from our authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, preferred stock in
such classes or series as our board of directors may determine and to establish from time to time the number of shares of
preferred stock to be included in any such class or series. The issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or
additional shares of capital stock ranking on parity with our Series A Preferred Stock would dilute the interests of the holders of
our Series A Preferred Stock, and the issuance of shares of any class or series of our capital stock expressly designated as
ranking senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, or the incurrence of additional indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends on, redeem, or pay the
liquidation preference on our Series A Preferred Stock. Other than the conversion right afforded to holders of our Series A
Preferred Stock that may become exercisable in connection with a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary
designating the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock), none of the provisions relating to our Series A Preferred Stock contain
any terms relating to or limiting our indebtedness or affording the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock protection in the
event of a highly leveraged or other transaction, including a merger or the sale, lease, or conveyance of all or substantially all
our assets, that might adversely affect the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, so long as the rights of the holders of our
Series A Preferred Stock are not materially and adversely affected.
Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock have extremely limited voting rights.
Our common stock is the only class of our securities that carry full voting rights. Voting rights for holders of our
Series A Preferred Stock exist primarily with respect to the ability to elect, together with holders of our capital stock ranking on
parity with our Series A Preferred Stock and having similar voting rights, two additional directors to our board of directors in
the event that six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on our Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears, and
with respect to voting on amendments to our charter or articles supplementary relating to our Series A Preferred Stock that
materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock or create additional classes or series of
our capital stock expressly designated as ranking senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon
our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up. Other than as described above and as set forth in more detail in the articles
supplementary designating the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will not have any
voting rights.
40
Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock may not be permitted to exercise conversion rights upon a change of control. If
exercisable, the change of control conversion feature of our Series A Preferred Stock may not adequately compensate
preferred stockholders, and the change of control conversion and redemption features of our Series A Preferred Stock may
make it more difficult for a party to take over our company or discourage a party from taking over our company
Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the terms of our
Series A Preferred Stock), holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to convert some or all of their Series A
Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock (or equivalent value of alternative consideration). Notwithstanding that we
generally may not redeem our Series A Preferred Stock prior to June 18, 2024, we have a special optional redemption right to
redeem our Series A Preferred Stock in the event of a change of control, and holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will not
have the right to convert any shares of our Series A Preferred Stock that we have elected to redeem prior to the change of
control conversion date. Upon such a conversion, the holders will be limited to a maximum number of shares of our common
stock equal to the 2.97796 (i.e. the "Share Cap"), subject to certain adjustments, multiplied by the number of our Series A
Preferred Stock converted. If the Common Stock Price (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the terms of our
Series A Preferred Stock) is less than $8.395 (which is approximately 50% of the per-share closing sale price of our common
stock on June 10, 2019), subject to adjustment, each holder will receive a maximum of 2.97796 shares of our common stock per
share of our Series A Preferred Stock, which may result in a holder receiving value that is less than the liquidation preference of
our Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, those features of our Series A Preferred Stock may have the effect of inhibiting a
third party from making an acquisition proposal for our company or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of
our company under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock
with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-current market price or that stockholders may otherwise believe is in
their best interests.

Distribution Information
Since our initial quarter as a publicly-traded REIT, with the exception of the second and third quarters of 2020, we
have made regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders. In the second quarter of 2020, our board of directors reviewed the
Company’s dividend policy and determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company, its stockholders, and its OP
unitholders to temporarily suspend the payment of quarterly cash dividends to common stockholders and quarterly distributions
to holders of Class A common units. The temporary suspension was a measure to preserve liquidity due to the uncertainty
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in increased cash flow pressure and government restrictions on evictions.
See Part I, Item 1 “Business—Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business” for more information on the impact of COVID-19 on our
company. In the third quarter of 2020, as a result of improvement in general economic conditions and our operating
performance, our board of directors reinstated quarterly cash dividends on shares of our common stock and Class A common
units. Declared cash dividends were $0.64 per share for the year ended December 31, 2021. We intend to continue to declare
quarterly distributions. However, we cannot provide any assurance as to the amount or timing of future distributions.
Any future distributions will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors, and their form, timing, and amount, if
any, will depend upon a number of factors, including our actual and projected financial condition, liquidity, operating cash
flows, results of operations, the revenue we actually receive from our properties, our operating expenses, our debt service
requirements, our capital expenditures, prohibitions and other limitations under our financing arrangements, as described above,
our REIT taxable income, the annual REIT distribution requirements, applicable law, and such other factors as our board of
directors deems relevant. To the extent that our cash available for distribution is less than 90% of our REIT taxable income, we
may consider various means to cover any such shortfall, including borrowing under our credit facility or other loans, selling
certain of our assets, or using a portion of the net proceeds we receive from offerings of equity, equity-related, or debt
securities, or declaring taxable share dividends.
To the extent that we make distributions in excess of our earnings and profits, as computed for federal income tax
purposes, these distributions will represent a return of capital, rather than a dividend, for federal income tax purposes.
Distributions that are treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes will reduce the stockholder’s basis in its
shares (but not below zero) and therefore can result in the stockholder having a higher gain upon a subsequent sale of such
shares. Return of capital distributions in excess of a stockholder’s basis generally will be treated as gain from the sale of such
shares for federal income tax purposes.
Stockholder Information
As of February 18, 2022, there were approximately 109 holders of record of our common stock. However, because
many shares of our common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we believe there are
substantially more beneficial holders of our common stock than record holders. As of February 18, 2022, there were 99 holders
(other than our company) of our OP units. Our OP units are redeemable for cash or, at our election, for shares of our common
stock.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Business Description
We are a full-service real estate company with extensive experience developing, building, owning, and managing high-
quality, institutional-grade office, retail, and multifamily properties in attractive markets throughout the Mid-Atlantic and
Southeastern United States. As of December 31, 2021, our stabilized operating property portfolio was comprised of 37 retail
properties, 7 office properties, and 11 multifamily properties. In addition to our operating property portfolio, we had 1 mixed-
use property, 1 office property, and 3 multifamily properties in various stages of predevelopment, development, redevelopment,
or stabilization as of December 31, 2021. We also provide general contracting services to third parties and invest in
development projects through mezzanine lending arrangements.
Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, our Operating Partnership.
We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2021, we owned, through a combination
of direct and indirect interests, 75.3% of the outstanding OP units in our Operating Partnership.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ended
December 31, 2013.
Our principal executive office is located at 222 Central Park Avenue, Suite 2100, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 in
the Armada Hoffler Tower at the Virginia Beach Town Center. In addition, we have a construction office located at 1300
Thames Street, Suite 30, Baltimore, Maryland 21231 in Thames Street Wharf at Harbor Point. The telephone number for our
principal executive office is (757) 366-4000. We maintain a website at ArmadaHoffler.com. The information on, or accessible
through, our website is not incorporated into and does not constitute a part of this report.
COVID-19 Update
See Part I, Item 1 “Business—Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business” for more information on the impact of
COVID-19 on our company.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated
financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's accounting policies are more fully
described in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As disclosed in
Note 2, the preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based
upon current available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to understanding our reported
financial results as their effect on our financial condition and results of operations is material.
Rental Revenues
We lease our properties under operating leases and recognize base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We
also recognize revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse us for expenses paid by us such as utilities,
janitorial, repairs and maintenance, security and alarm, parking lot and grounds, general and administrative, management fees,
insurance, and real estate taxes on an accrual basis. Our rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives on
a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. We include a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at
lease inception that the renewal is reasonably certain. We begin recognizing rental revenue when the tenant has the right to take
possession of or controls the physical use of the property under lease.
Rental revenue is recognized subject to management’s evaluation of tenant credit risk. The extended collection period
for accrued straight-line rental revenue along with our evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the nonrecognition of all or
a portion of straight-line rental revenue until the collection of substantially all such revenue for a tenant is probable.
44
General Contracting and Real Estate Services Revenues
We recognize general contracting revenues as a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount
that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For each construction contract, we
identify the performance obligations, which typically include the delivery of a single building constructed according to the
specifications of the contract. We estimate the total transaction price, which generally includes a fixed contract price and may
also include variable components such as early completion bonuses, liquidated damages, or cost savings to be shared with the
customer. Variable components of the contract price are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a
significant reversal of revenue will not occur. We recognize the estimated transaction price as revenue as we satisfy our
performance obligations; we estimate our progress in satisfying performance obligations for each contract using the input
method, based on the proportion of incurred costs relative to total estimated construction costs at completion. Construction
contract costs include all direct material, direct labor, subcontract costs, and overhead costs directly related to contract
performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract
penalty provisions and final contract settlements, are all significant judgments that may result in revisions to costs and income
and are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Additionally, the estimated costs at completion are affected by
management’s forecasts of anticipated costs to be incurred and contingency reserves for exposures related to unknown costs,
such as design deficiencies and subcontractor defaults. The estimated variable consideration is also affected by claims and
unapproved change orders, which may result from changes in the scope of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are recognized immediately in the period in which such losses are determined.
We recognize real estate services revenues from property development and management as we satisfy our performance
obligations under these service arrangements.
We assess whether multiple contracts with a single counterparty may be combined into a single contract for the
revenue recognition purposes based on factors such as the timing of the negotiation and execution of the contracts and whether
the economic substance of the contracts was contemplated separately or in tandem.
Operating Property Acquisitions
Acquisitions of operating properties have been and will generally be accounted for as acquisitions of a group of assets,
with costs incurred to effect an acquisition, including title, legal, accounting, brokerage commissions, and other related costs
being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. In connection with operating property acquisitions, we identify and
recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price
allocations to tangible assets, such as land, site improvements, and buildings and improvements, are presented within income
producing property in the consolidated balance sheets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Acquired lease
intangible assets are presented as a separate component of assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Acquired lease intangible
liabilities are presented within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We amortize in-place lease assets as
depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize above-
market lease assets as reductions to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We
amortize below-market lease liabilities as increases to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the
related leases. We amortize below-market ground lease assets as increases to rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the
remaining term of the related leases. We capitalize the costs related to operating property acquisitions that do not meet the
definition of a business.
We value land based on a market approach, looking to recent sales of similar properties, adjusting for differences due
to location, the state of entitlement, and the shape and size of the parcel. Improvements to land are valued using a replacement
cost approach. The approach applies industry standard replacement costs adjusted for geographic specific considerations and
reduced by estimated depreciation. The value of buildings acquired is estimated using the replacement cost approach, assuming
the buildings were vacant at acquisition. The replacement cost approach considers the composition of the structures acquired,
adjusted for an estimate of depreciation. The estimate of depreciation is made considering industry standard information and
depreciation curves for the identified asset classes. The value of acquired lease intangible assets and liabilities considers the
estimated cost of leasing the properties as if the acquired buildings were vacant, as well as the value of the current leases
relative to market-rate leases. The in-place lease value is determined using an estimated total lease-up time and lost rental
revenues during such time. The value of current leases relative to market-rate leases is based on market rents obtained for
comparable leases. Given the significance of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of acquired real estate assets, we classify
them as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
We value debt assumed in connection with operating property acquisitions based on a discounted cash flow analysis of
the expected cash flows of the debt. Such analysis considers the contractual terms of the debt, including the period to maturity,
45
credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy (as described in
Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Real Estate Project Costs
We capitalize direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with the development, redevelopment, construction,
leasing, or expansion of our real estate assets. Capitalized project costs include direct material, labor, subcontract costs, real
estate taxes, insurance, utilities, ground rent, interest on borrowing obligations, and salaries and related personnel costs.
We capitalize direct and indirect project costs associated with the initial construction or redevelopment of a property
up to the time the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
We also capitalize direct and indirect costs, including interest costs, on vacant space during extended lease-up periods
after construction of the building shell has been completed if costs are being incurred to prepare the vacant space for its
intended use. If costs and activities incurred to prepare the vacant space for its intended use cease, then cost capitalization is
also discontinued until such activities are resumed. Once necessary work has been completed on a vacant space, project costs
are no longer capitalized. In addition, all leasing commissions paid to third parties for new leases or lease renewals are
capitalized.
We depreciate buildings on a straight-line basis over 39 years and tenant improvements over the shorter of their
estimated useful lives or the term of the related lease.
Real Estate Impairment
We evaluate our real estate assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their
carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is necessary, we compare the carrying amount of any such real
estate asset with the undiscounted expected future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a
direct result of, its use and eventual disposition. Our estimate of the expected future cash flows attributable to a real estate asset
is based upon, among other things, our estimates regarding future market conditions, rental rates, occupancy levels, tenant
improvements, leasing commissions, tenant concessions, and assumptions regarding the residual value of our properties. If the
carrying amount of a real estate asset exceeds its associated undiscounted expected future cash flows, we recognize an
impairment loss to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate asset to its fair value based on marketplace participant
assumptions.
Interest Income
Interest income on notes receivable is accrued based on the contractual terms of the loans and when, in the opinion of
management, it is deemed collectible. Many loans provide for accrual of interest that will not be paid until maturity of the loan.
Interest is recognized on these loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is ultimately
collectible, based on the underlying collateral and the status of development activities, as applicable. If management cannot
make this determination, recognition of interest income may be fully or partially deferred until it is ultimately paid.
Expected credit losses
We evaluate the collectability of both the interest on and principal of each of our notes receivable based primarily upon
the value of the underlying development project. We consider factors such as the progress of development activities, including
leasing activities, projected development costs, current and projected loan balances. We also consider historical industry data,
such as loan defaults and losses experienced on loans secured by other development projects, and current economic conditions
that may affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows. At the end of each reporting period, the Company measures
expected credit losses to be incurred over the remaining contractual term based on the risk rating of each loan. See Note 2 to our
consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details on risk rating determination. If a
loan is rated as substandard, we then estimate expected credit losses as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the
outstanding loan and the estimated projected sales proceeds of the underlying collateral.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated effects on our consolidated financial
statements see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
46
Segment Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2021, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate,
(iii) multifamily residential real estate, and (iv) general contracting and real estate services that are conducted through our
TRSs. NOI (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by management to assess segment performance
and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating
activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be
considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We
consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in
understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial
statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a reconciliation of NOI to net income, the most directly
comparable GAAP measure.
We define same store properties as those that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both
periods compared. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches
80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property
that is substantially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the
redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the stabilization criteria above are again met. A
property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of
the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of
computing same store operating results.
This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses 2021 and 2020 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2021
and 2020. Discussions of 2019 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2020 and 2019 that are not included in this Form
10-K can be found in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II,

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we performed work on several significant projects, including 27th Street
Apartments, Interlock Commercial, and Solis Apartments at Interlock, which used $52.2 million, $43.8 million, and $46.0
million, respectively, of the backlog as of December 31, 2020.

Rental revenues increased $25.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2020. The increase in office rental revenues resulted primarily from the commencement of operations at Wills
Wharf in June 2020 and an increase in recoverable expenses at Thames Street Wharf. The increase in retail rental revenues
resulted primarily from the acquisitions of Nexton Square, Delray Beach Plaza, Overlook Village, and Greenbrier Square along
with the completion of the redevelopment at Apex Entertainment. Additionally, rental revenue has increased for Harrisonburg
Regal due to higher rental revenue received from Regal Cinemas. These increases were partially offset by the disposition of the
seven-property retail portfolio in May 2020 as well as the dispositions of Oakland Marketplace and Socastee Commons. The
increase in multifamily rental revenues resulted primarily from the acquisition of Edison Apartments and The Residences at
Annapolis Junction, the delivery of Summit Place, and higher occupancy and rental rates at multiple properties. These increases
were partially offset by the disposition of Johns Hopkins Village in November 2021.
General contracting and real estate services revenues. General contracting and real estate services revenues decreased
$125.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease
resulted primarily from a lower volume of projects during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Rental expenses increased $7.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2020. Office rental expenses increased primarily as a result of the Wills Wharf property being placed into service
beginning in June 2020 as well as higher recoverable utility costs due to tenants returning to work in their offices. Retail rental
expenses increased primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Nexton Square, Delray Beach Plaza, Overlook Village, and
Greenbrier Square along with the completion of the redevelopment at Apex Entertainment. These increases were partially offset
by the disposition of the seven-property retail portfolio in May 2020 as well as the dispositions of Oakland Marketplace and
Socastee Commons. Multifamily rental expenses increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of Edison Apartments and
The Residences at Annapolis Junction as well as the delivery of Summit Place. The increase was partially offset by the

Real estate taxes increased $3.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2020. Office real estate taxes increased primarily as a result of Wills Wharf being placed into service as well as
52
an increased assessment at Thames Street Wharf. Retail real estate taxes increased primarily as a result of the acquisitions of
Nexton Square, Delray Beach Plaza, Overlook Village, and Greenbrier Square. These increases were partially offset by the
disposition of the seven-property retail portfolio in May 2020 as well as the dispositions of Oakland Marketplace and Socastee
Commons. Multifamily real estate taxes increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of Edison Apartments and The
Residences at Annapolis Junction, the delivery of Summit Place, and expiring real estate tax credits at Johns Hopkins Village.
General contracting and real estate services expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased $121.4 million
compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease resulted primarily from a lower volume of projects during the
year ended December 31, 2021.
Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $8.9 million compared to the year
ended December 31, 2020. The increase was attributable to property acquisitions and development deliveries. The increases
were partially offset by dispositions in 2020 and 2021, and certain assets that became fully depreciated.
Amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $0.4 million
compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Delray Beach Plaza
shopping center, which has a ground lease classified as a finance lease.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $1.7 million compared to the
year ended December 31, 2020. The increase resulted from increased business insurance expense and higher compensation cost
due to increased investment in human capital and sustainability initiatives.
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased $0.5 million
compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was due to a higher write off of costs for the year ended
December 31, 2020 relating to certain development projects and acquisitions that were abandoned.
Impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $21.4 million and related to impairment charges
recognized on Socastee Commons, which was disposed in August 2021, and the two student housing properties in Charleston,
South Carolina, which were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021.
Gain on real estate dispositions for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $19.0 million and related to the
dispositions of Hanbury 7-Eleven, Oakland Marketplace, Courthouse 7-Eleven, and Johns Hopkins Village. During the year
ended December 31, 2020, we recognized gains on real estate dispositions of $6.4 million, related to the sale of a portfolio of
seven retail properties in May 2020 and the sale of Walgreens at Hanbury Village in August 2020.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased $1.4 million compared to the year ended
December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the lower notes receivable balance in the current period due to the repayment of
mezzanine loans for The Residences at Annapolis Junction, Delray Beach Plaza, and Nexton Square. As of December 31, 2021
and 2020, our outstanding mezzanine loan balances were $118.9 million and $128.6 million, respectively.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $2.9 million compared to the year ended
December 31, 2020 primarily due to the loans obtained and assumed in connection with acquisitions.
Loss on extinguishment of debt increased $3.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due
to the disposition of Johns Hopkins Village and the termination of the related interest rate swap.
Change in fair value of derivatives and other for the year ended December 31, 2021 was a gain of $2.2 million, which
arose from fair value increases for our derivative instruments due to increases in forward LIBOR. During the year ended
December 31, 2020, we recognized losses on changes in fair value of interest rate derivatives of $1.1 million due to significant
decreases in forward LIBOR during 2020.
Unrealized credit loss release relates to a release in the allowance for the Interlock Commercial mezzanine loan due to
the progression of the development project, which was partially offset by the reserve recorded for the Nexton Multifamily
investment.
Other income (expense), net for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was materially consistent.
The income tax benefit recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is attributable to the taxable
profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses,
and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing
incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital
expenditures, new real estate development projects, mezzanine loan funding requirements, and strategic acquisitions. We expect
to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash,
borrowings under construction loans to fund new real estate development and construction, borrowings available under our
credit facility, and net proceeds from the sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program
(the "ATM Program"), which is discussed below.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity,
general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, and capital improvements. We
expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured
indebtedness, and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and
capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of December 31, 2021, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $35.2 million available for both current
liquidity needs as well as development activities. As of December 31, 2021, we also had restricted cash in escrow of $5.2
million, some of which is available for capital expenditures at our operating properties. As of December 31, 2021, we had $110
million available under our credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $60.1 million available under
construction loans to fund development activities.
ATM Program
On March 10, 2020, we commenced a new ATM Program through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell
shares of our common stock and shares of our Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0
million, to or through our sales agents and, with respect to shares of our common stock, may enter into separate forward sales
agreements to or through the forward purchaser.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we issued and sold 3,801,731 shares of common stock at a weighted
average price of $13.87 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of
$51.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we did not issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the
ATM Program.
As of December 31, 2021, we had $212.2 million in availability under the ATM Program.
Recent Common Equity Offering
On January 11, 2022, we completed an underwritten public offering of 4,025,000 shares of common stock, which were
purchased from us at a purchase price of $14.45 per share of common stock, which resulted in net proceeds after offering costs
of $58.0 million.
Credit Facility
We have a senior credit facility that was amended and restated on October 3, 2019, which provides for a $355.0
million credit facility comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility")
and a $205.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility,
the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks. We intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general
corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, development and redevelopment of properties in our
portfolio, and for working capital. Our unencumbered borrowing pool supports revolving borrowings of up to $130 million as
of December 31, 2021.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $700.0 million,
subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has
54
a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2024, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including
payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2025.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus a margin ranging from
1.30% to 1.85%, and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80%, in each case
depending on our total leverage. We are also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused
portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the credit
facility. As of December 31, 2021, the interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 1.70% and
1.65%, respectively. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from Standard and Poor's or Moody's Investor Service, we may
elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings. In the future, our interest will no longer
be calculated based on LIBOR, and the interest to be paid on credit facility borrowings will instead use an alternative
benchmark interest rate. The alternative rate we will use will most likely be SOFR, and the exact transition date is yet to be
determined.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are
guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and
negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of
financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a
purchase price of at least up to $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $567,106,000 and amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds
received after June 30, 2019;
Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 40%;
Ratio of secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 20%;
Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any
acquisition with a purchase price of at least up to $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit
facility);
Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•
• Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement) with an
unencumbered asset value (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than $300.0 million at any time;
• Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the credit agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at
any time; and
• Maximum aggregate rental revenue from any single tenant of not more than 30% of rental revenues with respect to all
leases of unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement).
The credit agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends. However, so long as no default or event of default exists,
the credit agreement allows us to pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period in an amount not to exceed the
greater of: (i) 95% of adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreement) or (ii) the amount required for us (a)
to maintain our status as a REIT and (b) to avoid income or excise tax under the Code. If certain defaults or events of default
exist, we may pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period to the extent necessary to maintain our status as a REIT.
The credit agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved
land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans, and unconsolidated affiliates, and
restricts the amount of stock and OP units that we may repurchase during the term of the credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or
penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.
The credit agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The
occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare
the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due
and payable.
On January 7, 2021, we entered into a $15.0 million standby letter of credit using the available capacity under the
credit facility to guarantee the funding of our investment in the Harbor Point Parcel 3 joint venture, which is the developer of
55
T. Rowe Price's new global headquarters. This letter of credit was available for draw down on the revolving credit facility in the
event we did not perform. This letter of credit expired on January 4, 2022 and was not required to be renewed.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement.

Certain loans require us to comply with various financial and other covenants, including the maintenance of minimum
debt coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all loan covenants.
In September 2021, the loan covenants for the syndicated loan secured by Wills Wharf were modified to extend the
deadline for the Company to meet a lease-up requirement included in the loan agreement from October 1, 2021 to February 1,
2022. At February 1, 2022, it was determined that we did not meet the lease-up requirement stipulated. The covenant requires
the property to be 75% leased, and the property was 70% leased as of that date. This was not an event of default but did trigger
an appraisal for the property.

(1) For long-term debt that bears interest at variable rates, we estimated future interest payments using the indexed rates as of December 31,
2021. LIBOR as of December 31, 2021 was 10 basis points. SOFR as of December 31, 2021 was 5 basis points. BSBY as of
December 31, 2021 was 8 basis points.
(2) Assumes the balance outstanding of $5.0 million and the weighted average interest rate of 1.70% in effect at December 31, 2021 remain
in effect until maturity of our secured revolving credit facility. Amounts also include unused credit facility fees assuming the balance
outstanding at December 31, 2021 remains outstanding through maturity of our secured revolving credit facility.
(3) Contractual obligations above do not include funding obligations to non-wholly owned development projects as well as unfunded
mezzanine loan commitments due to the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of certain of these obligations. Refer to "Item 1.
Business" for information about our development projects and mezzanine loans.
(4) Contractual Obligations above exclude increased ground lease payments at 1405 Point and accrued earn-out payments to our joint
venture partner at Gainesville, each of which is classified as notes payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In connection with our mezzanine lending activities, we have guaranteed payment of portions of certain senior loans of
third parties associated with the development projects. As of December 31, 2021, we had an outstanding payment guarantee
amount on Interlock Commercial for $37.5 million. We have recorded a $1.2 million liability and corresponding addition to
notes receivable relating to the value of this guarantee.
In connection with our Harbor Point Parcel 3 unconsolidated joint venture, we will be responsible for providing a
completion guarantee to the lender for this project when a construction loan is obtained.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was materially consistent with the
year ended December 31, 2020.
Net cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $31.4 million compared to
the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to increased acquisition activity and decreased disposition activity, offset
partially by the pay-down of the Solis Apartments note receivable.
Net cash used for financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased by $14.6 million compared
to the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of a decrease in debt repayments, partially offset by a decrease in net
proceeds from equity issuances and an increase in dividends and distributions paid.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and Normalized FFO
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses)
from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of
deferred financing costs), impairment of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure
because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance.
Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions,
which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when
compared year-over-year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely
recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating
performance with that of other REITs.
59
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our
properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to
maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our
results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not
calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be
comparable to such other REITs’ calculation of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net
income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds
available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used
as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not
indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our year-over-year
performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes
certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment of intangible assets
and liabilities, property acquisition, development and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate
derivatives and other instruments, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets
attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and Normalized FFO for each of the years ended December 31,
2021, 2020 and 2019 to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:
Net income attributable to common stockholders and OP Unitholders
Depreciation and amortization (1)
Gain on operating real estate dispositions (2)
Impairment of real estate assets
FFO attributable to common stockholders and OP Unitholders
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs
Impairment of intangible assets and liabilities
Loss on extinguishment of debt
Unrealized credit loss (release) provision
Amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases
Change in fair value of derivatives and other
Normalized FFO available to common stockholders and OP Unitholders

diluted share and unit

(1) The adjustment for depreciation and amortization for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 exclude $0.4 million and $1.2
million, respectively, of depreciation attributable to the Company's joint venture partners. Additionally, the adjustment for depreciation and
amortization for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes $0.2 million of depreciation attributable to the Company's investment in One
City Center, which was an unconsolidated real estate investment until March 14, 2019.
(2) The adjustment for gain on real estate dispositions for the year ended December 31, 2021 excludes the gain on sale of easement rights on
a non-operating parcel and the loss on sale of a non-operating parcel. The adjustment for gain on operating real estate dispositions for the
year ended December 31, 2019 excludes the portion of the gain on Lightfoot Marketplace that was allocated to our joint venture partner and
excludes the gain on sale of a non-operating land parcel.
Inflation
Substantially all of our office and retail leases provide for the recovery of increases in real estate taxes and operating
expenses. In addition, substantially all of the leases provide for annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases
may be offset in part by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations previously described. In addition, our
60
multifamily leases generally have lease terms ranging from 7 to 15 months with a majority having 12-month lease terms
allowing negotiation of rental rates at term end, which we believe reduces our exposure to the effects of inflation, although
an extreme escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases.
Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is LIBOR.
We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We also use derivative
financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. We do not use these derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes.
As of December 31, 2021 and excluding unamortized GAAP adjustments, approximately $534.4 million, or 55.8%, of
our debt had fixed interest rates or was subject to interest rate swaps and approximately $423.0 million, or 44.2%, had variable
interest rates. Considering interest rate swaps and caps, 96.0% of our debt is either fixed-rate or economically hedged. As of
December 31, 2021, LIBOR was approximately 10 basis points, SOFR was approximately 5 basis points, and BSBY was
approximately 8 basis points. Assuming no change in the level of our variable-rate debt or derivative instruments, if interest
rates were to increase by 100 basis points, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $1.9 million per year. Assuming no
change in the level of our variable-rate debt or derivative instruments, if interest rates were reduced to 0 basis points, our cash
flow would increase by approximately $0.3 million per year.

Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is
processed, recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC and
that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to
apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
December 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded, as of December 31, 2021, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in
ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed,
recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to
allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013
framework). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting
was effective as of December 31, 2021.
61
Our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an
independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included elsewhere herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B.
Other Information.
On February 23, 2022, the board of directors amended and restated the Company’s bylaws (as so amended and
restated, the “Bylaws”) to reduce the requirements necessary for stockholders to submit binding proposals to amend the
Bylaws. As amended, Article XIV of the Bylaws provides that stockholders satisfying the ownership and eligibility
requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act the power, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be
cast on the matter, to alter or repeal any provision of the Bylaws and to adopt new Bylaws, except that stockholders do not have
the power to alter or repeal Article XIV or Article XII (relating to indemnification and advancement of expenses) of the Bylaws
or adopt any provision of the Bylaws inconsistent with Article XIV or Article XII without the approval of the Board.
The foregoing summary of the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, a copy of
which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated by reference herein. In addition, a marked

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on
criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (the Company)
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the
COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the 2021 consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated February 23, 2022 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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 (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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 (3) 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (the Company) as of
December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and Financial Statement Schedule listed in the
Index at Item 15(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and
2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(2013 framework), and our report dated February 23, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that
were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that
are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as
a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit
matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Description of
the Matter
Allowance for Loan Losses - Notes Receivable
At December 31, 2021, the Company’s notes receivable portfolio totaled $126.4 million, net of allowances
of $1 million. As discussed in Notes 2 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, management
estimates the allowance for loan losses on outstanding notes receivable based primarily upon relevant
historical loan loss data sets, the forecast for macroeconomic conditions, loan-to-value of the underlying
project, remaining contractual loan term, and other relevant loan-specific factors. For loans experiencing
financial difficulty as of the measurement date, the Company recognizes expected credit losses calculated
as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the financial asset and the estimated fair value of the
collateral, which includes an estimation of the projected sales proceeds from the sale of the underlying
property.
Auditing management’s estimate of the allowance for loan losses was complex and highly judgmental due
to the significant estimation required to determine the estimated fair value of the collateral. In particular,
the estimated fair value of the collateral was highly sensitive to significant assumptions based on
management’s expectations about future real estate market or economic conditions and the projected
operating results of the property.
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our
Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over
the allowance for loan losses process. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the
estimated allowance, the significant assumptions, and the data used to calculate the estimated fair value of
the collateral.
To test the allowance for loan losses, we performed audit procedures that included, among others,
assessing methodologies used and testing the significant assumptions and underlying data used by the
Company in calculating the estimated fair value of the collateral. We compared the significant assumptions
used by management to external evidence, including comparable market capitalization rates and recent
market activity of similar property transactions. We tested the projected operating results of properties by
comparing inputs and assumptions to executed lease agreements or recent market activity and operating
expenses incurred at similar operating properties owned by the Company. We performed sensitivity
analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes to the estimated fair value of the collateral that
would result from changes in the assumptions. We also assessed the historical accuracy of management’s
estimates.
Accounting for Acquisition of Operating Properties
Description of
the Matter
During 2021, the Company completed three operating property acquisitions for a total purchase price of
$92.9 million as described in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements. These transactions
were accounted for as asset acquisitions.
Auditing the Company's accounting for these acquisitions was challenging due to the significant estimation
required by management to determine the fair values of the acquired assets used to allocate costs of the
acquisitions on a relative fair value basis. The significant estimation was primarily due to the sensitivity of
the respective fair values to underlying assumptions. The significant assumptions used to estimate the
values of the tangible and intangible assets included the replacement cost of the properties, total lease-up
time and lost rental revenues during such time, market rents, estimated future cash flows and other
valuation assumptions.
F-4
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our
Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over
the Company’s acquisition and purchase price allocation process, including controls over management’s
review of the significant assumptions described above. For example, we tested controls over management’s
review of the valuation methodology, the purchase price allocation, and the significant assumptions used.
To test the costs allocated to the tangible and intangible assets, we involved our valuation specialists and
performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the Company’s valuation
methodologies, testing the significant assumptions described above and testing the completeness and
accuracy of the underlying data. For example, we compared the significant assumptions to observable
market data, including other properties within the same submarkets and to historical costs incurred by the
Company in developing and constructing similar assets. We also performed sensitivity analyses of the
significant assumptions to evaluate the change in fair values resulting from the changes in assumptions. In
addition, we compared the Company’s estimated fair values of acquired assets to independent estimates
developed by our valuation specialist.

Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
F-13
The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company, the
Operating Partnership, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and any interests in variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the
Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on management’s historical
experience and best judgment after considering past, current, and expected events and economic conditions. Actual
results could differ from management’s estimates.
Segments
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that management reviews information for operational decision-
making purposes. Management evaluates the performance of each of the Company’s properties individually and
aggregates such properties into segments based on their economic characteristics and classes of tenants. The Company
operates in four business segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate,
and (iv) general contracting and real estate services. The Company’s general contracting and real estate services
business develops and builds properties for its own account and also provides construction and development services
to both related and third parties.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. The amounts
previously classified as Interest expense on indebtedness and Interest expense on finance leases for the year ended
December 31, 2020 in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income are now included in a single
line item as Interest expense. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously
reported.
Revenue Recognition
Rental Revenues
The Company leases its properties under operating leases and recognizes base rents when earned on a straight-line
basis over the lease term. Rental revenues include $4.9 million, $5.9 million and $3.4 million of straight-line rent
adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The Company begins recognizing
rental revenue when the tenant has the right to take possession of or controls the physical use of the property under
lease. The extended collection period for accrued straight-line rental revenue along with the Company’s evaluation of
tenant credit risk may result in the nonrecognition of all or a portion of straight-line rental revenue until the collection
of substantially all such revenue for a tenant is probable. The Company recognizes contingent rental revenue (e.g.,
percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. The Company recognizes leasing
incentives as reductions to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leasing incentive amortization
was $0.7 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The Company recognizes fair value
adjustments recorded at the time of lease assumption in rental income on a straight-line basis as a reduction to revenue
over the remaining life of the lease or any renewal periods for which the Company determines have value at the time
of acquisition. The Company recognizes cost reimbursement revenue for real estate taxes, operating expenses, and
common area maintenance costs on an accrual basis during the periods in which the expenses are incurred. The
Company recognizes lease termination fees either upon termination or amortizes them over any remaining lease term.
General Contracting and Real Estate Services Revenues
The Company recognizes general contracting revenues as a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in
an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For
each construction contract, the Company identifies the performance obligations, which typically include the delivery
of a single building constructed according to the specifications of the contract. The Company estimates the total
transaction price, which generally includes a fixed contract price and may also include variable components such as
early completion bonuses, liquidated damages, or cost savings to be shared with the customer. Variable components of
F-14
the contract price are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of
revenue will not occur. The Company recognizes the estimated transaction price as revenue as it satisfies its
performance obligations; the Company estimates its progress in satisfying performance obligations for each contract
using the input method, based on the proportion of incurred costs relative to total estimated construction costs at
completion. Construction contract costs include all direct material, direct labor, subcontract costs, and overhead costs
directly related to contract performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability,
including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, are all significant judgments
that may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which they are determined.
Additionally, the estimated costs at completion are affected by management’s forecasts of anticipated costs to be
incurred and contingency reserves for exposures related to unknown costs, such as design deficiencies and
subcontractor defaults. The estimated variable consideration is also affected by claims and unapproved change orders,
which may result from changes in the scope of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts
are recognized immediately in the period in which such losses are determined. The Company defers pre-contract costs
when such costs are directly associated with specific anticipated contracts and their recovery is probable.
The Company recognizes real estate services revenues from property development and management as it satisfies its
performance obligations under these service arrangements.
The Company assesses whether multiple contracts with a single counterparty may be combined into a single contract
for the revenue recognition purposes based on factors such as the timing of the negotiation and execution of the
contracts and whether the economic substance of the contracts was contemplated separately or in tandem.
Real Estate Investments
Income producing property primarily includes land, buildings, and tenant improvements and is stated at cost. Real
estate investments held for development include land. The Company reclassifies real estate investments held for
development to construction in progress upon commencement of construction. Construction in progress is stated at
cost. Direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with the development, redevelopment, construction, leasing, or
expansion of real estate assets are capitalized as a cost of the property. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as
incurred.
The Company capitalizes direct and indirect project costs associated with the initial development of a property until
the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalized project costs include pre-acquisition,
development, and preconstruction costs including overhead, salaries, and related costs of personnel directly involved,
real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, ground rent, and interest. Interest capitalized during the years ended December 31,
2021, 2020, and 2019 was $1.5 million, $3.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Overhead, salaries and related
personnel costs capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 were $2.1 million, $2.6 million
and $3.1 million, respectively.
The Company capitalizes predevelopment costs directly identifiable with specific properties when the development of
such properties is probable. Capitalized predevelopment costs are presented within other assets in the consolidated
balance sheets. Land for which development activities have not yet commenced are presented separately as land held
for development in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized predevelopment costs as of December 31, 2021 and
2020 were $8.3 million and $15.4 million, respectively. Costs attributable to unsuccessful projects are expensed.
Income producing property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings
Capital improvements
Equipment
Tenant improvements
Operating Property Acquisitions
39 years
5—20 years
3—7 years
Term of the related lease
(or estimated useful life, if shorter)
Acquisitions of operating properties have been and will generally be accounted for as acquisitions of a group of assets,
with costs incurred to effect an acquisition, including title, legal, accounting, brokerage commissions, and other related
costs, being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. In connection with such acquisitions, the Company
F-15
identifies and recognizes all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their relative fair values as of the acquisition
date. The purchase price allocations to tangible assets, such as land, site improvements, and buildings and
improvements are presented within income producing property in the consolidated balance sheets and depreciated over
their estimated useful lives. Acquired lease intangible assets are presented as a separate component of assets on the
consolidated balance sheets. Acquired lease intangible liabilities are presented within other liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheets. The Company amortizes in-place lease assets as depreciation and amortization expense on
a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. The Company amortizes above-market lease assets
as reductions to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. The Company
amortizes below-market lease liabilities as increases to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term
of the related leases. The Company amortizes below-market ground lease assets as increases to amortization of right-
of-use assets - finance leases expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. Conversely,
the Company amortizes above-market ground lease assets as decreases to amortization of right-of-use assets - finance
leases expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases.
The Company values land based on a market approach, looking to recent sales of similar properties, adjusting for
differences due to location, the state of entitlement, as well as the shape and size of the parcel. Improvements to land
are valued using a replacement cost approach. The approach applies industry standard replacement costs adjusted for
geographic specific considerations and reduced by estimated depreciation. The value of buildings acquired is estimated
using the replacement cost approach, assuming the buildings were vacant at acquisition. The replacement cost
approach considers the composition of the structures acquired, adjusted for an estimate of depreciation. The estimate
of depreciation is made considering industry standard information and depreciation curves for the identified asset
classes. The value of acquired lease intangibles considers the estimated cost of leasing the properties as if the acquired
buildings were vacant, as well as the value of the current leases relative to market-rate leases. The in-place lease value
is determined using an estimated total lease-up time and lost rental revenues during such time. The value of current
leases relative to market-rate leases is based on market rents obtained for comparable leases. Given the significance of
unobservable inputs used in the valuation of acquired real estate assets, the Company classifies them as Level 3 inputs
in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company values debt assumed in connection with operating property acquisitions based on a discounted cash flow
analysis of the expected cash flows of the debt. Such analysis considers the contractual terms of the debt, including the
period to maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair
value hierarchy.
Real Estate Sales
The Company accounts for the sale of real estate assets and any related gain in accordance with the accounting
guidance applicable to sales of real estate, which establishes standards for recognition of profit on all real estate sales
transactions other than retail land sales. The Company recognizes the sale and associated gain or loss once it transfers
control of the real estate asset and the Company does not have significant continuing involvement.
Real Estate Investments Held for Sale
Real estate assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less
estimated costs to sell. Once a property is classified as held for sale, it is no longer depreciated. A property is classified
as held for sale when: (i) senior management commits to a plan to sell the property, (ii) the property is available for
immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to conditions usual and customary for such sales, (iii) an active
program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated, (iv) the sale is
expected to be completed within one year, (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is
reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely
that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
As of December 31, 2021, Hoffler Place and Summit Place were classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2020,
the 7-Eleven outparcel at Hanbury Village and a land parcel adjacent to Nexton Square were classified as held for sale.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is
necessary, the Company compares the carrying amount of any such real estate asset with the undiscounted expected
F-16
future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and
eventual disposition. If the carrying amount of a real estate asset exceeds the associated estimate of undiscounted
expected future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the real estate asset’s carrying value to its fair
value. The impairment charges recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily relate to the
$3.0 million impairment of Socastee Commons, which was sold during the year ended December 31, 2021, and the
$18.3 million impairment of Hoffler Place and Summit Place, which were classified as held for sale as of December
31, 2021. The impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019
represent unamortized leasing or acquired intangible assets related to vacated tenants.
Interest Income
Interest income on notes receivable is accrued based on the contractual terms of the loans and when it is deemed
collectible. Many loans provide for accrual of interest and fees that will not be paid until maturity of the loan. Interest
is recognized on these loans at the accrual rate subject to the determination that accrued interest and fees are ultimately
collectible, based on the underlying collateral and the status of development activities, as applicable. If this
determination cannot be made, recognition of interest income may be fully or partially deferred until it is ultimately
paid.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits, investments in money market funds, and investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents amounts held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, and reserves for capital
improvements.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable include amounts from tenants for base rents, contingent rents, and cost reimbursements as well as
accrued straight-line rental revenue. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, accrued straight-line rental revenue presented
within accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets was $24.7 million and $21.3 million, respectively.
The Company’s evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable and the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful
accounts is based primarily upon evaluations of individual accounts receivable, current economic conditions, historical
experience, and other relevant factors. The Company establishes a reserve for any receivable associated with a tenant
when collection of substantially all operating lease payments for a tenant is not probable. As of both December 31,
2021 and 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.4 million. The Company reflects these amounts as a
component of rental income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Notes Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses
Notes receivable primarily represent financing to third parties in the form of mezzanine loans or preferred equity
investments for the development of new real estate. The Company's mezzanine loans are typically made to borrowers
who have little or no equity in the underlying development projects. Mezzanine loans are secured, in part, by pledges
of ownership interests of the entities that own the underlying real estate. The loans generally have junior liens on the
respective real estate projects.
The Company’s allowance for loan losses on notes receivable is evaluated using risk ratings that correspond to
probabilities of default and loss given default. Risk ratings are determined for each loan after consideration of progress
of development activities, including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected
mezzanine and senior loan balances. The Company's risk ratings are as follows:
•
•
Pass: loans in this category are adequately collateralized by a development project with conditions materially
consistent with the Company's underwriting assumptions.
Special Mention: loans in this category show signs that the economic performance of the project may suffer as a
result of slower-than-expected leasing activity or an extended development or marketing timeline. Loans in this
category warrant increased monitoring by management.
F-17
•
Substandard: loans in this category may not be fully collected by the Company unless remediation actions are
taken. Remediation actions may include obtaining additional collateral or assisting the borrower with asset
management activities to prepare the project for sale. The Company will also consider placing the loan on
nonaccrual status if it does not believe that additional interest accruals will ultimately be collected.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company measures expected credit losses to be incurred over the remaining
contractual term based on the risk rating of each loan. If a loan is rated as substandard, the Company then estimates
expected credit losses as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the outstanding loan and the estimated
projected sales proceeds of the underlying collateral. Changes to the allowance for loan losses resulting from quarterly
evaluations are recorded through provision for unrealized credit losses on the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income.
The Company's loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to the borrowers over the life of the
loan, which future funding commitments are also subject to the current expected credit losses model. The current
expected credit losses provision related to future loan fundings is recorded as a component of Other Liabilities on the
Company's consolidated balance sheet. This provision is estimated using the same process outlined above for the
Company's outstanding loan balances, and changes in this component of the provision will similarly impact the
Company's consolidated net income. For both the funded and unfunded portions of the Company's loans, the Company
consider the risk rating of each loan as the primary credit quality indicator underlying its assessment.
The Company places loans on nonaccrual status when the loan balance, together with the balance of any senior loans,
approximately equals the estimated realizable value of the underlying development project.
Guarantees
The Company measures and records a liability for the fair value of its guarantees on a nonrecurring basis upon
issuance using Level 3 internally-developed inputs. These guarantees typically relate to payments that could be
required of the Company to senior lenders on its mezzanine loan investments. The Company bases its estimated fair
value on the market approach, which compares the guarantee terms and credit characteristics of the underlying
development project to other projects for which guarantee pricing terms are available. The offsetting entry for the
guarantee liability is a premium on the related loan receivable. The liability is amortized on a straight-line basis over
the remaining term of the loan. On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the likelihood of a contingent liability in
connection with these guarantees and will record an additional guarantee liability if the unamortized guarantee liability
is insufficient.
Leasing Costs
Commissions paid by the Company to third parties to originate a lease are deferred and amortized as depreciation and
amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Leasing costs are presented within other
assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Leasing Incentives
Incentives paid by the Company to tenants are deferred and amortized as reductions to rental revenues on a straight-
line basis over the term of the related lease. Leasing incentives are presented within other assets in the consolidated
balance sheets.
Debt Issuance Costs
Financing costs are deferred and amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the
related debt. Debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt
liability in the consolidated balance sheets.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company may enter into interest rate derivatives to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not
use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes derivative financial
instruments at fair value and presents them within other assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Gains
and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives that are neither designated nor qualify as hedging
F-18
instruments are recognized within the change in fair value of derivatives and other caption in the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income. For derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss is reported as a
component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged
forecasted transaction affects earnings.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the compensation cost of restricted stock awards based on the grant date fair value. The
Company recognizes compensation cost for the vesting of restricted stock awards using the accelerated attribution
method. Compensation cost associated with the vesting of restricted stock awards is presented within either general
and administrative expenses or general contracting and real estate services expenses in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income. Stock-based compensation for personnel directly involved in the construction and
development of a property is capitalized. The effect of forfeitures of awards is recorded as they occur.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For continued qualification as a
REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements,
including a requirement to pay distributions to stockholders of at least 90% of annual taxable income, excluding net
capital gains. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to income tax on net income distributed as dividends to
stockholders. The Company is subject to state and local income taxes in some jurisdictions and, in certain
circumstances, may also be subject to federal excise taxes on undistributed income. In addition, certain of the
Company’s activities must be conducted by subsidiaries that have elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary
("TRS") subject to both federal and state income taxes. The Operating Partnership conducts its development and
construction businesses through the TRS. The related income tax provision or benefit attributable to the profits or
losses of the TRS and any taxable income of the Company is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for deferred income tax in accordance with GAAP. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary
differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using the statutory rates expected to be applied in the periods in which those
temporary differences are settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized
in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets when it is more
likely than not that such assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax
assets, all evidence, both positive and negative, is evaluated. Items considered in this analysis include the ability to
carry back losses, the reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and expectations of future earnings.
Under GAAP, the amount of tax benefit to be recognized is the amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be
sustained upon examination. Management analyzes its tax filing positions in the U.S. federal, state and local
jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns for all open tax years. If, based on this analysis,
management determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established. The Company recognizes
accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, the
entire amount of unrecognized tax positions would be recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes.
Discontinued Operations
Disposals representing a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial
results are reported as discontinued operations.
Net Income Per Share
The Company calculates net income per share based upon the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted net
income per share is calculated after giving effect to all significant potential dilutive shares outstanding during the
period. Potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period include unvested restricted stock awards. However,
there were no significant potential dilutive shares outstanding for each of the three years ended December 31, 2021,
2020, and 2019. As a result, basic and diluted outstanding shares were the same for each period presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform -
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848), which became effective on
March 12, 2020 and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients
for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in
ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company is
currently evaluating the effect that adopting this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements.
Earnings Per Share
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 an update to ASC Topic 470 and ASC Topic 815, which will be
effective beginning January 1, 2022. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and removes
certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. This
ASU also simplifies diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas and provides updated disclosure
requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial
statements.
3.
Segments
Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by the Company’s chief
operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. Net operating income is not a measure of operating income
or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash
needs. As a result, net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of
liquidity. Not all companies calculate net operating income in the same manner. The Company considers net operating
income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in
understanding the core operations of the Company’s real estate and construction businesses.

Leases
Lessee Disclosures
As a lessee, the Company has eight ground leases on seven properties. These ground leases have maximum lease terms
(including renewal options) that expire between 2074 and 2117. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the
Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease
term. Five of these leases have been classified as operating leases and three of these leases have been classified as
finance leases. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive
covenants.
The components of lease cost for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

As a lessor, the Company leases its properties under operating leases and recognizes base rents on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. The Company also recognizes revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse
the Company on an accrual basis for certain expenses such as utilities, janitorial services, repairs and maintenance,
security and alarms, parking lot and ground maintenance, administrative services, management fees, insurance, and
real estate taxes. Rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives amortized on a straight-line
basis over the term of the applicable lease. In addition, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue (e.g.,
percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. Many tenant leases include one or
more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 15 years or more. The exercise
of lease renewal options is at the tenant's sole discretion. The Company includes a renewal period in the lease term
only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably certain.

immediately refinanced with a new $84.4 million loan. This refinanced loan bears interest at a rate of the Secured
Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 2.66% and matures on November 1, 2030. As part of this
financing transaction, the partnership also purchased an interest rate cap for $0.1 million with a SOFR strike rate of
1.84%, which expires on November 1, 2023. Due to a preferred return that we receive on this investment, no value was
assigned to our partner's investment in this property at the time of the acquisition.

related to the Socastee Commons shopping center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The Company anticipated a
decline in cash flows due to the expiration of the anchor tenant lease. The Company had not re-leased the anchor
tenant space and had determined that it was not probable that this space would be leased at rates sufficient to recover
the Company’s investment in the property. The Company recorded an impairment loss equal to the excess of the book
value of the property’s assets over the estimated fair value of the property during the first quarter of 2021. On

Other 2020 Real Estate Transactions
On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into an operating agreement with a partner to develop a mixed-use
property in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Company had an 80% interest in 10th and Tryon Partners, LLC (the "Tryon
Partnership"). On January 10, 2020, the Tryon Partnership purchased land for a purchase price of $6.3 million for this
project. The Company was responsible for funding the equity requirements of this development, including the
$6.3 million purchase of the land. Management has concluded that this entity was a VIE as it lacked sufficient equity
to fund its operations without additional financial support. The Company was the developer of the project and had the
power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impacted its financial performance. Therefore, the
Company was the project's primary beneficiary and consolidated the Tryon Partnership in its consolidated financial
statements. On January 14, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 20% ownership interest in the partnership. See
Note 19 for additional information.
On September 12, 2019, the Company entered into an operating agreement with a partner to develop a mixed-use
property in Belmont, North Carolina. The Company has an 85% interest in Chronicle Holdings, LLC (the "Chronicle
Partnership"). On March 20, 2020, the Chronicle Partnership purchased land for a purchase price of $2.3 million for
this project. The Company is responsible for funding the equity requirements of this development, including the
$2.3 million purchase of the land. Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE as it lacks sufficient equity to
fund its operations without additional financial support. The Company is the developer of the project and has the
power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its financial performance. Therefore, the
Company is the project's primary beneficiary and consolidates the Chronicle Partnership in its consolidated financial
statements.
On May 29, 2020, the Company sold a portfolio of seven retail properties for $90.0 million. The portfolio consisted of
Alexander Pointe, Bermuda Crossroads, Gainsborough Square, Harper Hill Commons, Indian Lakes Crossing,
Renaissance Square, and Stone House Square. The gain on sale was $2.8 million. In connection with the sale of this
portfolio, the Company repaid $61.9 million on the revolving credit facility, resulting in net proceeds of $25.9 million.
On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into an operating agreement with a partner to develop a mixed-use project
in Gainesville, Georgia. The Company has a 95% ownership interest in Gainesville Development, LLC (the
"Gainesville Partnership"). The Gainesville Partnership acquired undeveloped land on August 31, 2020 for a purchase
price of $5.0 million and immediately began development of the site. The Company is responsible for funding the
equity requirements of this development, which are estimated to total $17.3 million. Management has concluded that
this entity is a VIE as it lacks sufficient equity to fund its operations without additional financial support. By August
31, 2023, the Company is required to acquire its partner's 5% ownership interest for up to $4.2 million, subject to the
initial operating performance of the property. As the Company is required to obtain this ownership interest, the
Company consolidates the project in its consolidated financial statements. The Company has recorded a note payable
liability of $3.8 million, which is the fair value of the anticipated payments to be made to its partner.
On September 1, 2020, the Company completed the sale of the Walgreens outparcel at Hanbury Village. Net proceeds
after the transaction costs were $7.0 million. The gain on disposition was $3.6 million.
On October 2, 2020, the Company purchased the remaining 20% noncontrolling interest in the Southern Post, a mixed-
use development project in Roswell, Georgia in exchange for a cash payment of $3.5 million and future consideration
of $1.5 million to be paid in cash upon satisfaction of certain conditions.
Other 2019 Real Estate Transactions
On April 1, 2019, the Company sold Waynesboro Commons for a sale price of $1.1 million. There was no gain or loss
recognized on the disposition.
On August 15, 2019, the Company sold Lightfoot Marketplace for a sale price of $30.3 million. The gain on
disposition was $4.5 million. In conjunction with this sale, the Company paid off the $17.9 million note payable
secured by this property. The Company retained the interest rate swap associated with the note payable.
On October 15, 2019, the Company entered into an operating agreement with a partner to develop the Southern Post, a
mixed-use project in Roswell, Georgia. The Company has an 80% interest in the partnership. On October 25, 2019, the
partnership, 1023 Roswell, LLC, purchased land for a purchase price of $5.0 million in cash for this project. The
Company is responsible for funding the equity requirements of this development, including the $5.0 million purchase
F-28
of the land. Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE as it lacks sufficient equity to fund its operations
without additional financial support. The Company is the developer of the project and has the power to direct the
activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance and is the party most closely associated with the
project. Therefore, the Company is the project's primary beneficiary and consolidates the project in its consolidated
financial statements.
Equity Method Investment
Harbor Point Parcel 3
The Company owns a 50% interest in Harbor Point Parcel 3, a joint venture with Beatty Development Group, for
purposes of developing T. Rowe Price's new global headquarters office building in Baltimore, Maryland. The
Company is a noncontrolling partner in the joint venture and will serve as the project's general contractor. During the
year ended December 31, 2021, the Company invested $11.6 million in Harbor Point Parcel 3. The Company has an
estimated equity commitment of $30.0 million relating to this project. As of December 31, 2021 the carrying value of
the Company's investment in Harbor Point Parcel 3 was $12.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Harbor
Point Parcel 3 had no operating activity, and therefore the Company received no allocated income.
Based on the terms of the operating agreement, the Company has concluded that Harbor Point Parcel 3 is a VIE and
that the Company holds a variable interest. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project
that most significantly impact its performance. Accordingly, the Company is not the project’s primary beneficiary and,
therefore, does not consolidate Harbor Point Parcel 3 in its consolidated financial statements. The Company has
significant influence over the project due to its 50% ownership as well as certain rights and responsibilities relating to
the development project. The Company's investment in the project is recorded as an equity method investment in the
consolidated balance sheets.

Delray Beach Plaza
On October 27, 2017, the Company invested in the development of an estimated $20.0 million Whole Foods-anchored
center located in Delray Beach, Florida. The Company's investment was in the form of a mezzanine loan of up to
$13.1 million to the developer, Delray Plaza Holdings, LLC ("DPH"). The Company has agreed to guarantee payment
of up to $4.8 million of the senior construction loan. On January 8, 2019, this loan was modified to increase the
maximum amount of the loan to $15.0 million and the payment guarantee amount increased to $5.2 million. The
mezzanine loan bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum.
During 2020, the Delray Beach Plaza loan was modified to (i) increase the maximum amount of the loan to
$17.0 million, with $2.0 million of additional funds borrowed at an interest rate of 6% in order to fund final
development activities, (ii) extend the maturity date to April 1, 2020, and (iii) require the borrower to tender 125,843
Class A Units that were pledged as collateral for this loan and establish a $2.5 million reserve account to be used for
certain unpaid development project costs.
On February 26, 2021, the Company acquired Delray Beach Plaza, a Whole Foods-anchored retail property located in
Delray Beach, Florida for a contract price of $27.6 million plus capitalized transaction costs of $0.2 million. The
developer of this property repaid the Company's mezzanine note receivable of $14.3 million at the time of the
acquisition, which consisted of $12.3 million of principal and $2.0 million of accrued interest.
Interlock Commercial
In October 2018, the Company financed a bridge loan with a maximum commitment of $4.0 million to The Interlock,
LLC ("Interlock"), the developer of the office and retail components of The Interlock, a new mixed-use public-private
partnership with Georgia Tech in West Midtown Atlanta. This loan was subsequently modified as described below.
On December 21, 2018, the Company entered into a mezzanine loan agreement with Interlock for a maximum
principal amount of $67.0 million and a total maximum commitment, including accrued interest reserves, of $95.0
F-30
million. The previous loan was repaid from proceeds of the mezzanine loan. The mezzanine loan bears interest at a rate
of 15.0% per annum and matures at the earlier of (i) 24 months after the original maturity date or earlier termination
date of the senior construction loan or (ii) any sale, transfer, or refinancing of the project. In the event that the maturity
date is established as being 24 months after the original maturity date or earlier termination date of the senior
construction loan, Interlock will have the right to extend the maturity date for 5 years.
On April 19, 2019, the borrower executed its senior construction loan, and the Company's payment guarantee of up to
$30.7 million became effective. See Note 15 for additional information. See Note 18 for additional discussion.
In May 2020, the Company modified the Interlock Commercial loan to allow for an additional $8.0 million of loan
funding; this additional loan funding may be available for cost overruns as well as the building of townhome units as
an additional phase of this development project. The borrower subsequently decided to forego development of these
townhome units. The borrower also modified the senior construction loan on the project.
On October 2, 2020, the Interlock Commercial loan was modified to decrease the exit fee, subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions. As a result, the exit fee for this loan may range from $6.5 million to $7.5 million. The Company has
reduced its estimate of exit fees to be collected to $6.5 million and prospectively adjusted the recognition of the exit
fee in interest income. The Company has recognized $4.9 million of this fee as of December 31, 2021.
In March 2021, the Company loaned an additional $7.5 million as part of the Interlock Commercial loan to fund
project costs due to an additional equity requirement to reduce the senior loan. In September 2021, the loan was
modified to increase the maximum loan commitment to $107.0 million, including $70.1 million of principal, and to
modify and clarify certain rights and responsibilities under the loan.
Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE. Because Interlock is the developer of The Interlock, the Company
does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. Therefore,
the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the project in its consolidated financial
statements.
Nexton Multifamily
On April 1, 2021, the Company entered into a $22.3 million preferred equity investment for the development of a
multifamily property located in Summerville, South Carolina, adjacent to the Company's Nexton Square property. The
investment has economic terms consistent with a note receivable, including a mandatory redemption or maturity on
October 1, 2026, and it is accounted for as a note receivable. The Company's investment bears interest at a rate of
11%, compounded annually.
Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE. Because the other investor in the project, TP Nexton LLC, is the
developer of Nexton Multifamily, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most
significantly impact its performance. Accordingly, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and does not
consolidate the project in its consolidated financial statements.
Solis Apartments at Interlock
On December 21, 2018, the Company entered into a mezzanine loan agreement with Interlock Mezz Borrower, LLC
("Solis Interlock"), the developer of Solis Apartments at Interlock, which is the apartment component of The Interlock.
The mezzanine loan had a maximum principal commitment of $25.2 million and a total maximum commitment,
including accrued interest reserves, of $41.1 million. The mezzanine loan bore interest at a rate of 13.0% per annum.
On June 7, 2021 the borrower paid off the Solis Apartments at Interlock note receivable in full. The Company received
a total of $33.0 million, which consisted of $23.2 million outstanding principal, $7.4 million of accrued interest, and a
prepayment premium of $2.4 million that resulted from the early payoff of the loan.
Guarantee liabilities

Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its mezzanine lending activities. As of December 31, 2021,
the Company had two mezzanine loans, both of which are financing development projects in various stages of
completion or lease-up. Each of these projects is subject to a loan that is senior to the Company’s mezzanine loan.
Interest on these loans is paid in kind and is generally not expected to be paid until a sale of the project after
completion of the development.
The Company updated the risk ratings for each of its notes receivable as of December 31, 2021 and obtained industry
loan loss data relative to these risk ratings. Each of the outstanding loans as of December 31, 2021 was "Pass" rated.
The Company’s analysis resulted in an allowance for loan losses of approximately $1.0 million as of the year ended
December 31, 2021.
At December 31, 2021, the Company reported $126.4 million of notes receivable, net of allowances of $1.0 million. At
December 31, 2020, the Company reported $135.4 million of notes receivable, net of allowances of $2.6 million.

Company expects to bill and collect substantially all construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings as of December 31, 2021 during the year ending December 31, 2022.

Credit Facility
The Company has a senior credit facility that was amended and restated on October 3, 2019, which provides for a
$355.0 million credit facility comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving
credit facility") and a $205.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the
revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $700.0 million,
subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit
facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2024, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain
conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled
maturity date of January 24, 2025.
F-36
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus a margin ranging from
1.30% to 1.85%, and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80%, in
each case depending on the Company's total leverage. The Company is also obligated to pay an unused commitment
fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending
on the amount of borrowings under the credit facility. As of December 31, 2021, the interest rates on the revolving
credit facility and the term loan facility were 1.70% and 1.65%, respectively. If the Company attains investment grade
credit ratings from Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investor Service, the Operating Partnership may elect to have
borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings. The Company may, at any time, voluntarily
prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are
guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such
guaranty. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative
and negative covenants. The Company's ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to ongoing compliance
with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions. The credit agreement includes
customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default,
if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid
principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due
and payable.
On January 7, 2021, the Operating Partnership entered into a $15.0 million standby letter of credit using the available
capacity under the credit facility to guarantee the funding of its investment in the Harbor Point Parcel 3 joint venture,
which is the developer of T. Rowe Price's new global headquarters. This letter of credit was available for draw down
on the revolving credit facility in the event the Company did not meet its equity requirement. The letter of credit
expired on January 4, 2022 and was not required to be renewed.
The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement.

deadline for the Company to meet a lease-up requirement included in the loan agreement from October 1, 2021 to
February 1, 2022. At February 1, 2022, it was determined that the Company did not meet the lease-up requirement
stipulated. The covenant requires the property to be 75% leased, and the property was 70% leased as of that date. This
was not an event of default but did trigger an appraisal for the property.

For the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, realized losses are reclassified out of accumulated other
comprehensive loss to interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income due to payments made
to the swap counterparty. During the next 12 months, the Company anticipates reclassifying approximately
$2.0 million of net hedging losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings to offset the variability of
the hedged items during this period.

100 million shares of preferred stock. The Company had 63.0 million and 59.1 million shares of common stock issued
and outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had 6.8 million shares of its Series A
Preferred Stock (as defined below) issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Common Stock
On February 26, 2018, the Company commenced an at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "2018
ATM Program") through which the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its common stock. Upon
commencing the 2018 ATM Program, the Company simultaneously terminated the 2016 ATM Program. On August 6,
2019, the Company entered into amendments (the "Amendments") to the separate sales agreements related to the 2018
ATM Program, which, among other things, increased the aggregate offering price of shares of the Company’s common
stock under the ATM Program from $125.0 million to $180.7 million. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019, the Company issued and sold 92,577 and 5,871,519 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of
$18.23 and $16.76 per share under the 2018 ATM Program, receiving net proceeds after offering costs and
commissions of $1.7 million and $97.0 million, respectively.
On March 10, 2020, the Company commenced a new at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM
Program") through which the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its common stock and shares
of its 6.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") having an
aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, to or through its sales agents and, with respect to shares of its
common stock, may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through the forward purchaser. Upon
F-40
commencing the ATM Program, the Company simultaneously terminated the 2018 ATM Program. During the years
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company issued and sold 3,801,731 and 1,783,768 shares of common stock
at a weighted average price of $13.87 and $10.48 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after
offering costs and commissions, of $51.7 million and $18.4 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31,
2021, the Company did not issue any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program. During the year
ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued and sold 713,418 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at a weighted
average price of $22.88 per share (inclusive of accrued dividends) under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds,
after offering costs and commissions, of $16.1 million.
Preferred Stock
On June 18, 2019, the Company issued 2,530,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference
of $25.00 per share, which included 330,000 shares issued upon the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to
purchase additional shares. Net proceeds from the offering, after the underwriting discount but before offering
expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $61.3 million. The Company used the net proceeds to fund a
portion of the purchase price of Thames Street Wharf, a 263,426 square foot office building located in the Harbor
Point neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. The balance of the net proceeds was used to repay a portion of the
outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, on June 18, 2019, the Operating Partnership issued to
the Company 2,530,000 6.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the "Series A Preferred
Units"), which have economic terms that are identical to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A
Preferred Units were issued in exchange for the Company’s contribution of the net proceeds from the offering of the
Series A Preferred Stock to the Operating Partnership.
On August 20, 2020, the Company sold 3,600,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock at a public offering price of
$24.75 per share (inclusive of accrued dividends), for net proceeds, after the underwriting discount and offering
expenses payable by the Company, of approximately $86.1 million, pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated August
13, 2020, and a base prospectus dated March 9, 2020. The offering was a re-opening of the Company’s previous
issuances of Series A Preferred Stock. The additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold in the offering form a
single series, and are fully fungible, with the other outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company used
the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit
facility and for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, on August 20, 2020, the Operating Partnership issued
to the Company 3,600,000 Series A Preferred Units, which have economic terms that are identical to the Series A
Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Units were issued in exchange for the Company’s contribution of the net
proceeds from the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock to the Operating Partnership.
Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of each January,
April, July and October. The first dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock was paid on October 15, 2019. The Series
A Preferred Stock does not have a stated maturity date and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption
provisions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to the
Company's common stock with respect to the payment of distributions and other amounts. Except in instances relating
to preservation of the Company's qualification as a REIT or pursuant to the Company’s special optional redemption
right, the Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to June 18, 2024. On and after June 18, 2024, the Company
may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, for cash at
a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but
excluding, the redemption date.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the terms of the
Series A Preferred Stock), the Company has a special optional redemption right that enables it to redeem the Series A
Preferred Stock, in whole or in part and within 120 days after the first date on which a change of control has occurred
resulting in neither the Company nor the surviving entity having a class of common stock listed on the New York
Stock Exchange, NYSE American, or NASDAQ or the acquisition of beneficial ownership of its stock entitling a
person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all our stock entitled to vote generally in election of
directors. The special optional redemption price is $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether
or not declared) to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
F-41
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, holders will have the right (unless the Company has elected to exercise its
special optional redemption right to redeem their Series A Preferred Stock) to convert some or all of such holder’s
Series A Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the lesser of:
•
the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accrued
and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the change of control conversion date (unless the change of control
conversion date is after a record date for a Series A Preferred Stock distribution payment and prior to the
corresponding Series A Preferred Stock distribution payment date, in which case no additional amount for such
accrued and unpaid distribution will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined in the
articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock); and
•
2.97796 (i.e., the Share Cap), subject to certain adjustments;
subject, in each case, to certain adjustments and provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration of equivalent
value as described in the articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Noncontrolling Interests
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company held a 75.3% and 73.9% common interest in the Operating
Partnership, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company also held a preferred interest in the Operating
Partnership in the form of preferred units with a liquidation preference of $171.1 million. The Company is the primary
beneficiary of the Operating Partnership as it has the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership and the
rights to absorb 75.3% of the net income of the Operating Partnership. As the primary beneficiary, the Company
consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests in
the Company represent units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company. As
of December 31, 2021, there were 20,633,485 Class A Units of limited partnership interest in the Operating
partnership not held by the Company. The Company's financial position and results of operations are the same as those
of the Operating Partnership.
Additionally, the Operating Partnership owns a majority interest in certain non-wholly-owned operating and
development properties. The noncontrolling interest for investment entities of $0.6 million relates to the minority
partners' interest in certain joint venture entities as of December 31, 2021. The noncontrolling interest for consolidated
real estate entities was $0.5 million as of December 31, 2020.
On January 4, 2021, a holder of Class A Units tendered 12,000 Class A Units for redemption by the Operating
Partnership, which the Company elected to satisfy by issuing an equal number of shares of common stock.
On October 1, a holder of Class A Units tendered 220,000 Class A Units for redemption by the Operating Partnership,
which the Company elected to satisfy by making a cash payment of $2.9 million.
Holders of OP Units may not transfer their units without the Company’s prior consent as general partner of the
Operating Partnership. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, holders of Class A Units may tender their units
for redemption by the Operating Partnership in exchange for cash equal to the market price of shares of the Company’s
common stock at the time of redemption or, at the Company’s option and sole discretion, for unregistered or registered
shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, the Company presents OP Units of the Operating
Partnership not held by the Company as noncontrolling interests within equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
Dividends and Class A Unit Distributions
During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the Company declared dividends per common share and
distributions per unit of $0.64, $0.44, and $0.84, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and
2019, these common stock dividends totaled $39.3 million, $25.3 million, and $45.4 million, respectively, and these
Operating Partnership distributions totaled $13.3 million, $9.2 million, and $16.9 million, respectively.

restricted stock units to certain employees. The performance period for these awards is three years, with a required
two-year service period immediately following the expiration of the performance period in order to fully vest. The
compensation expense and the effect on the Company’s weighted average diluted shares calculation were immaterial.
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, 5,760 shares were issued with a grant date fair value of $15.19 per
share due to the partial vesting of performance units awarded to certain employees in 2017. Of those shares, 1,926

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.
The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Inputs — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities
Level 3 Inputs — unobservable inputs
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values.
Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of
interest rate swaps and caps. The Company measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices
provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation
techniques.
Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are not measured at fair value but for which the fair value is disclosed
include the Company's notes receivable and indebtedness. The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash
flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms
of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For
disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement.
F-44
Considerable judgment is used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial
instruments.

Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other
matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the
likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
The Company currently is a party to various legal proceedings, none of which management expects will have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Management accrues a
liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably
estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined by management to be probable and a range of loss can be
reasonably estimated, management accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range
F-47
is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are
expensed as incurred. Management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or
in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations;
however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.
Under the Company’s leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify the Company from and against all liabilities,
costs, and expenses imposed upon or asserted against it as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the
operation of the properties by the tenant.

expired on January 4, 2022 and was not required to be renewed.
The Operating Partnership has entered into standby letters of credit related to the guarantee of future performance on
