Real Estate Rental Revenue
−Removed: Real estate expenses
+Added: Real estate rental revenue from our apartment communities is comprised of (a) rent from operating leases of residential apartments with terms of approximately one year or less, recognized on a straight-line basis, (b) revenue from the recovery of operating expenses from our residents, (c) credit losses on lease related receivables, (d) revenue from leases of retail space at our apartment communities and (e) parking and other tenant charges.
+Added: Real estate rental revenue from same-store residential properties decreased $1.6 million, or 1.1%, to $141.3 million for 2021, compared to $142.9 million for 2020, primarily due to higher rent abatements ($1.3 million), lower rental income ($1.1 million) and higher credit losses ($0.3 million), partially offset by higher recoveries ($0.5 million), lower waived one-time fees ($0.3 million) due to COVID-19 concessions, higher move-in charges ($0.2 million) and higher parking income ($0.1 million).
+Added: Real estate rental revenue from acquisitions increased due to the acquisition of The Oxford ($1.4 million) during the third quarter of 2021 and Assembly Eagles Landing ($0.9 million) during the fourth quarter of 2021.
+Added: Real estate rental revenue from development properties increased due to the continued lease-up of the Trove development ($5.0 million).

+Added: Real estate expenses from same-store residential properties increased $0.1 million, or 0.2%, to $51.1 million for 2021, compared to $51.0 million for 2020, primarily due to higher expenses related to contract maintenance and supplies ($0.5 million), utilities ($0.4 million) and insurance ($0.4 million) expenses, partially offset by lower real estate tax expenses ($0.8 million), repairs and maintenance ($0.2 million) and administrative ($0.2 million) expenses.
+Added: Real estate expenses from development properties increased $1.7 million due to the continued lease-up of the Trove development.
+Added: Other NOI classified as continuing operations decreased due to the sales of Monument II ($3.7 million) and 1227 25th Street ($2.8 million) during the fourth quarter of 2020 and the sale of John Marshall II ($1.4 million) during the second quarter of 2020, partially offset by higher NOI at Watergate 600 ($0.1 million).
+Added: Other Income and Expenses
+Added: Property management expenses:
+Added: These expenses include costs directly related to the third-party management of property operations and corporate management and other costs.
+Added: General and administrative expenses :
+Added: Increase primarily due to a higher short-term incentive compensation expense ($2.5 million), higher deferred tax expense ($0.5 million), higher office rent ($0.5 million), higher share-based compensation expense ($0.4 million) and higher corporate insurance expense ($0.3 million), partially offset by lower legal fees ($0.6 million).
+Added: Transformation costs:
+Added: During 2021 we incurred $6.6 million of costs related to the strategic transformation, including the allocation of internal costs, consulting, advisory and termination benefits.
Depreciation and amortization :

+Added: Loss on sale of real estate, net:
+Added: The loss during 2020 was primarily due to losses on the sales of John Marshall II ($6.9 million) and Monument II ($8.6 million), partially offset by a gain on the sale of 1227 25th Street ($1.1 million).

+Added: Total $ 34,063 $ 37,305 $ (3,242) (8.7) %
+Added: • Interest expense for notes payable :
+Added: Decrease primarily due to lower interest payments resulting from the prepayment during 2021 of $300.0 million of unsecured notes originally scheduled to mature in October 2022, the prepayment of our $150.0 million 2015 Term Loan in December 2020, the $150.0 million 2020 Term Loan executed in May 2020 and prepaid in November 2020 and the prepayment of a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan during 2021.
+Added: These were partially offset by the $350.0 million Green Bonds executed in December 2020.
+Added: • Interest expense for mortgage notes payable :
+Added: Decrease due to repayment of the mortgage note secured by Yale West Apartments in January 2020.
+Added: • Interest expense for line of credit :
+Added: Decrease primarily due to lower weighted average borrowings of $34.8 million and a lower weighted average interest rate of 1.1% during 2021, as compared to $204.8 million and 1.5%, respectively, during 2020.
+Added: • Capitalized interest :
+Added: Decrease primarily due to placing into service assets at Trove.

+Added: During the third quarter of 2021 we recognized a $12.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the prepayment of the $300.0 million of unsecured notes that were originally scheduled to mature in October 2022, a $0.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the prepayment of a $150.0 million portion of the $250.0 million 2018 Term Loan and a $0.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the renewal of our Revolving Credit Facility, all of which were repaid in connection with our strategic transformation, using the proceeds from the sales of the Office Portfolio and Retail Portfolio.
+Added: During the fourth quarter of 2020, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million related to the prepayments of the $150.0 million 2020 Term Loan originally scheduled to mature in May 2021 and the $150.0 million 2015 Term Loan originally scheduled to mature in March 2021.
+Added: During the second quarter of 2020, we recognized a loss of $0.2 million related to the prepayment of all $250.0 million of our 4.95% Senior Notes originally scheduled to mature in October 2020.
+Added: These losses were partially offset by a gain of $0.5 million on the prepayment of the mortgage note secured by Yale West Apartments during the first quarter of 2020.
+Added: Other income :
+Added: Other income in 2021 primarily consists of a legal settlement ($1.3 million), a real estate tax refund for an office property sold in 2018 ($1.3 million), a gain on life insurance ($1.0 million) and a construction easement at a retail property ($0.4 million).
+Added: Discontinued operations:
+Added: Income from properties sold or held for sale:
+Added: The decrease during 2021 is primarily due to lower real estate rental revenue ($47.6 million) as a result of the sale of the Office Portfolio and the sale of the Retail Portfolio during the third quarter of 2021.
+Added: This was partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization ($26.8 million), lower real estate expenses ($17.7 million) and lower management fees ($1.6 million).
+Added: Gain on sale of real estate, net:
+Added: The net gain during 2021 is due to the gain on sale of the Retail Portfolio ($57.7 million), partially offset by the loss on sale of the Office Portfolio ($11.2 million).
