As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net carrying value of real estate collateralizing our mortgage loans totaled $1.7 billion and $2.1 billion. Our mortgage loans contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties and, in certain circumstances, require lender approval of tenant leases and/or yield maintenance upon repayment prior to maturity.

In September 2025, in connection with the acquisition of the remaining 45.0% interest in the unconsolidated real estate venture that owned 1101 17th Street, we assumed the related $60.0 million non-recourse interest-only mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 3.40% and a maturity date of July 14, 2026, which was recorded at its estimated fair value of $30.4 million. See Note 3 for additional information. In March 2025, we entered into a five-year interest-only $258.9 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.03% collateralized by the Ashley and Potomac buildings at RiverHouse Apartments and repaid the outstanding $307.7 million mortgage loan that was collateralized by the Ashley, Potomac and James buildings. In November 2024, the mortgage loan collateralized by The Grace and Reva was refinanced with a five-year interest-only $273.6 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.19%.

In June 2025, in connection with the sale of WestEnd25, we repaid the related $97.5 million mortgage loan. In February 2025, in connection with the sale of 8001 Woodmont, we repaid the related $99.7 million mortgage loan. In December 2024, in connection with the sale of 2101 L Street, the lender of the related $120.9 million mortgage loan accepted the proceeds from the sale and $6.7 million of cash as repayment of the mortgage loan, resulting in a $9.2 million gain on the extinguishment of debt, which was included in "Gain (loss) on the extinguishment of debt, net" in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. In September 2024, we repaid the $83.3 million mortgage loan collateralized by 201 12th Street S., 200 12th Street S., and 251 18th Street S. In June 2023, we repaid $142.4 million in mortgage loans collateralized by Falkland Chase-South & West and 800 North Glebe Road.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had various interest rate swap and cap agreements on certain of our mortgage loans with an aggregate notional value of $756.0 million and $1.4 billion. See Note 19 for additional information.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our unsecured revolving credit facility and term loans totaling $1.5 billion consisted of a $750.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in June 2027, a $200.0 million term loan ("Tranche A-1 Term Loan") maturing in January 2027, as extended in January 2026, a $400.0 million term loan ("Tranche A-2 Term Loan") maturing in January 2028 and a $120.0 million term loan ("2023 Term Loan") maturing in June 2028. We have the option to increase the $750.0 million revolving credit facility or add term loans up to $500.0 million. The revolving credit facility has two six-month extension options.

Based on the terms as of December 31, 2025, the interest rate for the credit facility varies based on a ratio of our total outstanding indebtedness to a valuation of certain real property and assets, and ranges (i) in the case of the revolving credit facility, from daily SOFR plus 1.40% to daily SOFR plus 1.85%, (ii) in the case of the Tranche A-1 Term Loan, from one-month term SOFR plus 1.15% to one-month term SOFR plus 1.75%, (iii) in the case of the Tranche A-2 Term Loan, from one-month term SOFR plus 1.25% to one-month term SOFR plus 1.80% and (iv) in the case of the 2023 Term Loan, from one-month term SOFR plus 1.25% to one-month term SOFR plus 1.80%.

The agreements for our unsecured revolving credit facility and term loans include customary restrictive covenants, that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, to engage in material asset sales, mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, and in certain circumstances, to pay dividends, make distributions and repurchase common shares, and also include requirements to maintain financial ratios. Our ability to borrow is subject to compliance with these covenants, and failure to comply with our covenants could cause a default, and we may then be required to repay such debt.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
