Lease Agreements - Company as Lessee
As of December 31, 2025, the Company is a lessee of corporate office space, ground leases and a parking lease associated with various consolidated properties and equipment. The Company has three office leases with lease expiration dates ranging from 2026 to 2030, and seven ground leases and the parking lease with lease expiration dates ranging from 2027 to 2083. The corporate office leases occasionally contain renewal options of approximately five years while certain ground leases contain renewal options that can extend the lease term from approximately 10 to 39 years.
A majority of the Company’s ground leases and the parking lease are subject to changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Furthermore, certain of the Company’s ground leases include rental payments based on a percentage of gross or net income. While lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes in the CPI or percentage of gross or net income, such changes are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no material finance leases.

Practical Expedients
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes the lease expense for such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has elected to account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) as a single combined lease component as the lease components are the predominant elements of the combined components.
