Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies
Leasing
As part of its ordinary re-leasing activities, the Company has agreed and anticipates that it will continue to agree to provide rent concessions to tenants and incur leasing costs with respect to its properties, including amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space and/or building systems, or tenant improvement allowances, landlord agreements to perform and pay for certain improvements, and leasing commissions. These rent concessions and leasing costs could be significant and are expected to vary due to factors such as competitive market conditions for leasing of commercial office space and the volume of square footage subject to re-leasing by the Company.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had the following estimated total outstanding commitments (in thousands):
Total (1)
Tenant improvement allowances $ 54,118 
Reimbursable landlord work (2)
6,551 
Non-reimbursable landlord work (2)
6,219 
Leasing commissions 323 
Total $ 67,211 
____________________________________
(1)Outstanding commitments do not include rent concessions as such amounts are recorded as a component of straight-line rent receivable, net, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(2)Landlord work represents specific improvements agreed to within the lease agreement to be performed by us, as landlord, as a new and non-recurring obligation and in order to induce the tenant to enter into a new lease or lease renewal or extension. Commitments for reimbursable and non-reimbursable landlord work include estimates and are subject to change.
The timing of the Company’s cash outlay for tenant improvement allowances is significantly uncertain and will depend upon the applicable tenant’s schedule for the improvements and corresponding use of capital, if any. For assets financed on the CMBS Loan, the Company has funded reserves with the lender for tenant improvement allowances and rent concessions. The restricted cash included in the reserve was $34.7 million as of September 30, 2024, including $23.6 million for tenant improvement allowances and $11.1 million for rent concessions, and is included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be party to various legal proceedings which it believes are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of its business. The Company does not believe that any such legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated position or results of operations.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition, in each case, that it believes will have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated position or results of operations.
