Key capital events

  • In July 2024, we executed an agreement with the lender group to amend and restate our unsecured senior line of credit to, among other changes, extend the maturity date from January 22, 2028 to January 22, 2030, including extension options that we control. We expect that the amendment and restatement will become effective in September 2024 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.
  • During 2Q24, we entered into new forward equity sales agreements aggregating $27.8 million to sell 230 thousand shares of common stock under our ATM program at an average price of $122.32 (before underwriting discounts). We expect to settle these forward equity sales agreements in 2024. As of July 22, 2024, the remaining aggregate amount available under our ATM program for future sales of common stock was $1.47 billion.

Investments

  • As of June 30, 2024:
    • Our non-real estate investments aggregated $1.5 billion.
    • Unrealized gains presented in our consolidated balance sheet were $159.8 million, comprising gross unrealized gains and losses aggregating $284.2 million and $124.4 million, respectively.
  • Investment loss of $43.7 million for 2Q24 presented in our consolidated statement of operations consisted of $33.4 million of realized gains, partially offset by $12.8 million of impairment charges and $64.2 million of unrealized losses.

Other key highlights

Subsequent event

  • In July 2024, we executed an amendment to our existing ground lease agreement at the Alexandria Technology Square® mega campus aggregating 1.2 million RSF in our Cambridge submarket to extend the term by 24 years from January 1, 2065 to December 31, 2088. The amendment requires that we prepay our entire rent obligation for the extended lease term aggregating $270.0 million in two equal installments during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. This amount will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term from July 2024 through December 2088, and the amended operating lease will result in an incremental annual rent expense of approximately $3.6 million. Alexandria Technology Square® is a foundational mega campus in the heart of the global life science ecosystem in Cambridge and is the Greater Boston base of operations of key strategic long-tenured tenants such as Novartis AG, GlaxoSmithKline plc, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Mass General Brigham. Securing this ground lease through December 2088 significantly enhances the long-term value of our investment in this critical mega campus.

Industry and corporate responsibility leadership: catalyzing and leading the way for positive change to benefit human health and society

  • In June 2024, we released our 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report, which reinforces our longstanding operational excellence across our differentiated Labspace® platform and highlights:
    • Our new target to reduce operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by advancing our energy efficiency, electrification, alternative energy, and renewable electricity initiatives. As an example of our renewable electricity initiatives, a recent long-term power purchase agreement in our Greater Boston market is expected to enable us to meet 100% of the electricity needs for Alexandria-paid accounts in this market with renewable energy.
    • Our pioneering corporate responsibility pillars, which aim to address the most pressing issues facing our nation, including the mental health and addiction crises.
  • In April 2024, Alexandria earned several 2024 regional TOBY (The Outstanding Building of the Year) Awards from BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association). The TOBY Awards are the commercial real estate industry's highest recognition honoring excellence in commercial building management and operations.
    • In the BOMA Mid-Atlantic region, 60 Binney Street on the Alexandria Center® at Kendall Square mega campus won in the Life Science category and Building 1400 on the Alexandria Center® at One Kendall Square mega campus won in the Renovated Building category.
    • In the BOMA Pacific Southwest region, the Alexandria Center® for Life Science – San Carlos mega campus won in the Life Science category.
    • In the BOMA Pacific Northwest region, 1165 Eastlake Avenue East on the Alexandria Center® for Life Science – Eastlake mega campus won in the Life Science category.
  • Additionally, our innovative energy district at the Alexandria Center® for Life Science – South Lake Union mega campus received the Seattle 2030 District's 2024 Vision Award for Energy, and 6040 George Watts Hill Drive, Phase II, in Research Triangle was recognized as the Best Development Project in the 2024 Triangle Commercial Real Estate Women's (TCREW) Champion Awards.

(1)

Calculated in accordance with standards established by the Nareit Board of Governors.

(2)

Primarily related to two non-real estate investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV.

(3)

Primarily related to two potential acquisitions in our Greater Boston market, which aggregated 1.4 million of future development RSF. We initially expected to close these acquisitions after 2024 for an aggregate purchase price of $366.8 million. Our intent for each site included the demolition of existing buildings upon expiration of the existing in-place leases and the development of life science properties. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we decided to no longer proceed with these acquisitions as a result of the current macroeconomic environment that negatively impacted the financial outlooks for these projects, and recognized this impairment charge.
