Item 2. Properties
On October 3, 2014, we entered into a 15-year lease for approximately 23,000 square feet of office space at 2 Gansevoort Street, New York, NY 10014, at an average annual rent of $2.7 million. We took possession of this space, which serves as our principal executive offices, in December 2015, and took occupancy in April 2016. Total rent expense, over the full term of the lease for this space will approximate $40.7 million. In conjunction with the lease, we entered into Desk Space Agreements with two related parties: Opus Point Partners Management, LLC (“OPPM”) and TGTX, to occupy 10% and 45%, respectively, of the office space that requires them to pay their share of the average annual rent of $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The total net rent expense to us is approximate $16.0 million over the lease term. These initial rent allocations will be adjusted periodically for each party based upon actual percentage of the office space occupied. As of 2020, only TGTX continues in a Desk Space Agreement with us, as OPPM dissolved in 2019. Additionally, we have reserved the right to execute desk space agreements with other third parties and those arrangements will also affect the cost of the lease actually borne by us.
In October 2015, we entered into a 5-year lease for approximately 6,100 square feet of office space in Waltham, MA at an average annual rent of approximately $0.2 million. We took occupancy of this space in January 2016. In December 2020, we amended our lease and entered into a new two-year extension of the same office space in Waltham, MA at an average annual rent of $0.2 million. The term of this amended lease commences on April 1, 2021 and will expire on March 31, 2023.

In June 2017, Journey extended its lease for 2,295 square feet of office space in Scottsdale, AZ by one year, at an average annual rent of approximately $55,000. Journey originally took occupancy of this space in November 2014.
In August 2018, Journey amended their lease and entered into a new two-year extension for 3,681 square feet of office space in a larger suite at the same location in Scottsdale, AZ at an annual rate of approximately $0.1 million. The term of this amended lease commenced on December 1, 2018 and expired on November 30, 2020. In August 2020, Journey entered into a third amendment to their lease and agreed to a new 25-month extension of the same office space in Scottsdale, AZ at an average annual rent of $0.1 million. The term of this third lease amendment commenced on December 1, 2020 and will expire on December 31, 2022.
Mustang
On October 27, 2017, Mustang entered into a lease agreement with WCS – 377 Plantation Street, Inc., a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement, we agreed to lease 27,043 square feet from the landlord, located at 377 Plantation Street in Worcester, MA (the “Facility”), through November 2026, subject to additional extensions at the Company’s option. Base rent, net of abatements of $0.6 million over the lease term, totals approximately $3.6 million, on a triple-net basis.
The terms of the lease also require that we post an initial security deposit of $0.8 million, in the form of $0.5 million letter of credit and $0.3 million in cash, which increased to $1.3 million ($1.0 million letter of credit, $0.3 million in cash) on November 1, 2019. After the fifth lease year, the letter of credit obligation is subject to reduction.
The Facility began operations for the production of personalized CAR T and gene therapies in 2018.
We believe that our and our partners’ existing facilities are adequate to support our current requirements. We also believe that we will be able to obtain suitable additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms on an “as needed basis.”
