The following table provides lease cost information for the Company’s operating and finance leases for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended December 31, |
| Lease costs | | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Operating lease costs (1) | | $ | 14,620 | | | $ | 14,583 | | | $ | 14,451 | |
| Finance lease costs | | | | | | |

_______________
(1)One of the operating leases relates to an asset that was in development for the year ended December 31, 2025, and predevelopment for the year ended December 31, 2024 and a portion of the year ended December 31, 2023. As such, the operating lease costs were capitalized.
(2)The finance leases relate to either land, buildings or assets that are/were in development. For land leases classified as finance leases because of a purchase option that the Company views as an economic incentive, the Company follows its existing policy and does not depreciate land because it is assumed to have an indefinite life. For all other finance leases, the Company would amortize the right of use asset over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. If the finance lease relates to a property under development, the amortization of the right of use asset may be eligible for capitalization. For assets under development, depreciation may commence once the asset is placed in-service and depreciation would be recognized in accordance with the Company’s policy.
(3)One of the finance leases relates to an asset under development for a portion of the year ended December 31, 2023. As such, a portion of the interest amount was capitalized. There were no finance leases related to assets under development for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025.
