ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as noted below:
Changes in Trade Policies, Including the Imposition of Tariffs, Could Adversely Affect Our Tenants, Ability to Lease Space, Development Activities, and Operating Costs
Changes in international trade policies and the implementation or expansion of tariffs or other trade restrictions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Tariffs imposed on consumer goods could negatively impact the operations and profitability of some of our tenants, potentially affecting their ability to meet rent obligations or renew leases. Tariffs may further impact our ability to lease unoccupied space by affecting market demand. Tariffs on construction materials, appliances, fixtures, and other goods used in the development, renovation, and maintenance of our properties may lead to increased project costs and delays. To the extent that our tenants or service providers are adversely affected by such trade policies, or if our own property-related costs increase materially, our financial performance could be adversely impacted.

A Prolonged Federal Government Shutdown Could Adversely Affect Some of Our Tenants
We lease space to U.S. government agencies through the General Services Administration (GSA). A prolonged federal government shutdown could result in delayed or suspended funding for these agencies, potentially affecting their ability to meet rent obligations. In addition, some of our other tenants may rely heavily on federal funding, grants, or contracts. A sustained shutdown could weaken their financial condition, affect their ability to meet rent obligations, and decrease the likelihood of lease renewals. To the extent our tenants are adversely impacted by a federal government shutdown, our financial performance could be adversely impacted.
