At December 31, 2023, the gross book value of our real estate assets at cost plus certain acquisition costs, before depreciation and purchase price allocations and less impairment write downs, was $7.2 billion.
As of December 31, 2023, we owned an equity interest in each of the Seaport JV and the LSMD JV that own medical office and life science properties located in five states with an aggregate of approximately 2.2 million rentable square feet that were 98% leased with an average (by annualized rental income) remaining lease term of 5.3 years.
−Removed: We are closely monitoring the impacts of the current economic and market conditions on all aspects of our business, including, but not limited to, labor availability, high inflation, rising or sustained high interest rates, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risks and economic downturns or recessions.

−Removed: In response to inflationary pressures, the U.S.
−Removed: Federal Reserve has significantly increased the federal funds rate since the beginning of 2022 and has signaled that further significant increases are likely to occur.
−Removed: These inflationary pressures and rising interest rates in the United States and globally have given rise to increasing concerns that the U.S.
−Removed: economy may soon enter an economic downturn or recession and they have caused disruptions in the financial markets.
−Removed: An economic recession, or continued or intensified disruptions in the financial markets, could adversely affect our financial condition and that of our managers, operators and tenants, could adversely impact the ability or willingness of our managers, operators, tenants or residents to pay the contractual amounts of returns, rents or other obligations due to us, could impair our ability to effectively deploy our capital or realize our investments on favorable terms, may restrict our access to, and would likely increase our cost of capital, and may cause the values of our properties and of our securities to decline.
−Removed: The senior living industry experienced significant disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: Although our and certain of our managers' and other operators' and tenants' businesses have improved from low points experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have not returned to pre-pandemic levels and there is a risk that they may not return to pre-pandemic levels due to changed market practices, delayed returns to prior market practices, current market and economic conditions, such as rising or sustained high interest rates and high inflation, labor market challenges, supply chain challenges, geopolitical instability (such as the war in Ukraine) and economic downturns or recessions, or otherwise.
−Removed: For example, occupancy in our SHOP segment has generally increased, but not to pre-pandemic levels, and we may continue to face challenges in our SHOP segment with labor availability and wage inflation, along with cost pressures from supply chain disruptions and commodity price inflation.
−Removed: As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to determine what the ultimate impacts will be on our, our managers', operators', our tenants' and other stakeholders' businesses, operations, financial results and financial position.
−Removed: For further information and risks relating to these economic uncertainties, including changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and their impact on our business and financial condition, see elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including "Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements," Part I, Item 1 "Business" and Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors".

+Added: In response to significant and prolonged increases in inflation, the U.S.
+Added: Federal Reserve has raised interest rates multiple times since the beginning of 2022.
+Added: Although the U.S.
+Added: Federal Reserve has indicated that it may lower interest rates in 2024, we cannot be sure that it will do so, and interest rates may remain at the current high levels or continue to increase.
+Added: These inflationary pressures in the United States, as well as global geopolitical instability and tensions, have given rise to uncertainty regarding economic downturns or a possible recession and potential disruptions in the financial markets.
+Added: An economic recession, or continued or intensified disruptions in the financial markets, could adversely affect our financial condition and that of our managers, operators and tenants, could adversely impact the ability or willingness of our managers, operators, tenants or residents to pay amounts owed to us, could impair our ability to effectively deploy our capital or realize our target returns on our investments, may restrict our access to, and would likely increase our cost of, capital, and may cause the values of our properties and of our securities to decline.
+Added: We are encouraged by positive trends, including increases in rates and occupancy, in our SHOP segment.
+Added: Additionally, we also expect favorable supply and demand dynamics in the senior living industry to enable our operators to generate better returns at our communities than we have experienced in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: While certain costs, primarily labor, insurance and food costs, have increased, we expect these cost increases to moderate and decline, which will provide our operators the opportunity to increase rates in excess of increases in costs, resulting in improving returns to us.
+Added: On April 11, 2023, we and Office Properties Income Trust, or OPI, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which we and OPI agreed that we would merge with and into OPI, with OPI as the surviving entity in the merger.

−Removed: Pursuant to a restructuring of our business arrangements with Five Star effective January 1, 2020, or the 2020 Restructuring Transaction, our previously existing master leases and management and pooling agreements with Five Star were terminated and replaced with new management agreements and a related omnibus agreement, which agreements were subsequently replaced in June 2021, as described below.
−Removed: The conversion of our leasing arrangements with Five Star to management arrangements was a significant change in our historical arrangements with Five Star and has resulted, and likely will continue to result in future periods, in our realizing significantly different operating results from our senior living communities, including increased variability.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2022, Five Star managed 119 senior living communities for our account.

In June 2021, we amended our then existing management arrangements with Five Star and Five Star agreed to cooperate with us in transitioning 108 of our senior living communities to other third party managers.
We and Five Star entered into an amended and restated master management agreement, or the Master Management Agreement, for the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage.
+Added: Pursuant to the Master Management Agreement, Five Star receives a
+Added: management fee equal to 5% of the gross revenues realized at the applicable senior living communities plus reimbursement for its direct costs and expenses related to such communities.

+Added: Unless otherwise agreed, the target capital investment increases annually based on the greater of the annual increase of CPI or 2%.
+Added: Any senior living communities that are undergoing a major renovation or repositioning are excluded from the calculation of the incentive fee.
+Added: The Master Management Agreement expires in 2036, subject to Five Star's right to extend for two consecutive five year terms if Five Star achieves certain performance targets for the combined managed communities portfolio, unless earlier terminated.
+Added: Pursuant to the Master Management Agreement, beginning in 2025, we have the right to terminate up to 10% of the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage, based on total revenues per year for failure to meet 80% of a target EBITDA for the applicable period.
In addition, Five Star delivered to us a related amended and restated guaranty agreement pursuant to which Five Star is continuing to guarantee the payment and performance of each of its applicable subsidiary's obligations under the applicable management agreements.

GENERAL INDUSTRY TRENDS
−Removed: Our medical office and life science properties have been impacted by at least two major industry trends for the past 10 years which are continuing at this time and that have impacted our investment activities.
−Removed: First, medical practices are being consolidated into hospital systems.
−Removed: This has caused the number of free standing medical practices to decline.
−Removed: At the same time, the number of multi-practice medical office buildings that are anchor leased by hospital systems who employ doctors has increased.
−Removed: We believe hospital systems will continue the trend of providing an increasing amount of services in off campus medical offices away from main hospital campuses in order to reduce costs and serve as many patients as possible, which is reinforced by consumers' preference for healthcare services to be provided away from hospital campuses and closer to their residence or work locations.
−Removed: Second, various advances in medical science have caused a large investment in new bio-medical research companies that require office, lab and medical products manufacturing space.
−Removed: We believe that about 35% of our total investments in our Office Portfolio segment may be considered biotech and life science properties as of December 31, 2022.
+Added: The healthcare industry remains one of the most resilient commercial real estate sectors, in part due to the scale of the U.S.
+Added: healthcare market, which collectively represents approximately 17% of the U.S.
+Added: GDP, according to CMS.
+Added: The healthcare sector’s continued expansion has been driven by rising standards of care, increasing life expectancies and other demographic trends, as well as funding from both public and private sources.
+Added: In the medical office sector, the industry has been trending toward a greater proportion of outpatient care resulting in an increasing number of multi-practice medical office buildings, anchor leased by hospital systems, and a decline in free-standing medical practices, a potential benefit to our Office Portfolio.
+Added: The pandemic further accelerated this trend because of stronger consumer preference for off-campus care in more convenient locations.
+Added: Costs within the industry continue to be in focus with health system operating margins being under pressure in recent years, which is, while moderating, a theme that may continue in 2024.
+Added: In the life science sector, particularly with properties that provide laboratory or medical manufacturing space, over the years there has been significant capital invested across the bio-medical research space, driving a large increase in demand for laboratory and research space.
+Added: Venture capital funding reached an all-time high in 2021;
+Added: however, such funding significantly declined in 2022 and 2023.
+Added: Funding in the past two years has been increasingly concentrated on companies located in the top three markets of Boston, San Francisco and San Diego with more stringent requirements.
+Added: New construction of life science properties hit record levels in 2021 and 2023 across major markets, and the construction pipeline, while decreasing, remains elevated into 2024.
+Added: This has been met by softening demand from tenants and resulted in rising vacancy rates across the major life science markets.
We believe that the primary market for senior living services is individuals age 80 and older.
According to U.S.
−Removed: Census data, the age 75+ demographic is projected to be among the fastest growing age cohorts in the United States over the next 20 years, and according to the CMS, the age 85+ demographic is projected to grow over 30% over the next five years.
+Added: Census data, the age 75+ demographic is projected to be among the fastest growing age cohorts in the United States over the next 20 years, and according to CMS, the age 85+ demographic is projected to grow over 30% over the next five years.
Also, as a result of medical advances, seniors are living longer.
3 unchanged sentences
The medical advances which are increasing average life spans are also causing some seniors to delay moving to senior living communities until they require greater care or to forgo moving to senior living communities altogether, but we do not believe this factor is sufficient to offset the long term positive demographic trends causing increased demand for senior living communities for the foreseeable future.
−Removed: In recent years, a significant number of new senior living communities have been developed and continue to be developed.
−Removed: Although the rate of newly started developments declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath, the increased supply of senior living communities that has resulted from recent development activity has increased competitive pressures on our managers and tenants, particularly in certain geographic markets where we own senior living communities, and we expect these competitive challenges to continue for at least the next few years.
−Removed: These competitive challenges may prevent our managers and tenants from maintaining or improving occupancy and rates at our senior living communities, which may increase the risk of default under our leases, reduce the rents and returns we may receive and earn from our leased and managed senior living communities and adversely affect the profitability of our senior living communities, and may cause the value of our properties to decline.
−Removed: In response to these competitive pressures, we have invested capital in our existing senior living communities and expect to continue to do so in order that our communities may remain competitive with newer communities.
−Removed: For a discussion of and the risks relating to these economic uncertainties, including changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and their impact on us and our business, see elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including "Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements," Part I, Item 1 "Business" and Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors".
+Added: We believe there is a favorable mix of increased demand and limited supply for senior living communities which we expect will benefit us and our existing portfolio of senior living communities in the future.
+Added: As a result of elevated financing and construction costs over recent years, inventory growth for senior living communities has reached a new low.
+Added: According to NIC, annual inventory growth was 1.3% across all markets during the fourth quarter of 2023.
+Added: Additionally, annual absorption was
+Added: 4.1% for the fourth quarter of 2023, according to NIC.
