1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
JBG SMITH Properties ("JBG SMITH"), a Maryland real estate investment trust ("REIT"), owns and operates a portfolio of commercial and multifamily assets amenitized with ancillary retail. JBG SMITH's portfolio reflects its longstanding strategy of owning and operating assets within Metro-served submarkets in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area that have high barriers to entry and vibrant urban amenities. Over half of our portfolio is in National Landing where we serve as the exclusive developer for Amazon.com, Inc.'s ("Amazon") new headquarters and where Virginia Tech's planned new $ 1 billion Innovation Campus is located. In addition, our third-party asset management and real estate services business provides fee-based real estate services to the Washington Housing Initiative ("WHI") Impact Pool, Amazon, the legacy funds formerly organized by The JBG Companies ("JBG") (the "JBG Legacy Funds") and other third parties. Substantially all our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, JBG SMITH Properties LP ("JBG SMITH LP"), our operating partnership. As of March 31, 2021, JBG SMITH, as its sole general partner, controlled JBG SMITH LP and owned 90.5 % of its common limited partnership units ("OP Units"). JBG SMITH is hereinafter referred to as "we," "us," "our" or other similar terms. References to "our share" refer to our ownership percentage of consolidated and unconsolidated assets in real estate ventures.
We were organized for the purpose of receiving, via the spin-off on July 17, 2017 (the "Separation"), substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Vornado Realty Trust's ("Vornado") Washington, D.C. segment. On July 18, 2017, we acquired the management business and certain assets and liabilities of JBG (the "Combination"). The Separation and the Combination are collectively referred to as the "Formation Transaction."
As of March 31, 2021, our Operating Portfolio consisted of 63 operating assets comprising 42 commercial assets totaling 13.3 million square feet ( 11.4 million square feet at our share) and 21 multifamily assets totaling 7,800 units ( 5,999 units at our share). Additionally, we have: (i) two under-construction multifamily assets totaling 1,130 units ( 969 units at our share); (ii) nine wholly owned near-term development assets totaling 4.8 million square feet of estimated potential development density; and (iii) 29 future development assets totaling 14.8 million square feet ( 12.0 million square feet at our share) of estimated potential development density.
We derive our revenue primarily from leases with commercial and multifamily tenants, which include fixed and percentage rents, and reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses such as real estate taxes, property operating expenses, and repairs and maintenance. In addition, our third-party asset management and real estate services business provides fee-based real estate services.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain certain information required in annual financial statements and notes as required under GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Table of Contents
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs"), including JBG SMITH LP. See Note 5 for additional information on our VIEs. The portions of the equity and net income (loss) of consolidated entities that are not attributable to us are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
References to our financial statements refer to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. References to our balance sheets refer to our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. References to our statements of operations refer to our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. References to our statements of comprehensive income (loss) refer to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. References to our statements of cash flows refer to our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as dividends to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. We currently adhere and intend to continue to adhere to these requirements and to maintain our REIT status in future periods. We also participate in the activities conducted by our subsidiary entities that have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries under the Code. As such, we are subject to federal, state and local taxes on the income from these activities.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant of these estimates include: (i) the underlying cash flows and holding periods used in assessing impairment; (ii) the determination of useful lives for tangible and intangible assets; and (iii) the assessment of the collectability of receivables, including deferred rent receivables.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the novel coronavirus ("COVID- 19"). The significance, extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on us and our tenants remains largely uncertain and dependent on near-term and future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the continued severity, duration, transmission rate and geographic spread of COVID-19, the roll-out, effectiveness and willingness of people to take COVID-19 vaccines, the extent and effectiveness of the containment measures taken, and the response of the overall economy, the financial markets and the population, particularly in the area in which we operate. The ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 is highly uncertain; however, the effects of COVID-19 on us and our tenants have affected estimates used in the preparation of the underlying cash flows used in assessing our long-lived assets for impairment and the assessment of the collectability of receivables from tenants, including deferred rent receivables. We have made what we believe to be appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent these estimates differ from actual results, our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.
Due to the business disruptions and challenges caused by COVID-19, we have provided rent deferrals and other lease concessions to certain tenants. We have entered into agreements with certain tenants, many of which have been placed on
10
Table of Contents
the cash basis of accounting, resulting in the deferral to future periods or abatement of $ 1.9 million of rent that had been contractually due in the first quarter of 2021. We are in the process of negotiating additional rent deferrals and other lease concessions with some of our tenants, which have been considered when establishing credit losses against billed and deferred rent receivables. During 2020, we put substantially all co-working tenants and retailers except for grocers, pharmacies, essential businesses and certain national credit tenants on the cash basis of accounting.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform ("Topic 848"). Topic 848 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in Topic 848 is optional and may be elected over the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 as reference rate reform activities occur. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, no elections were made. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to (i) the assertion that our hedged forecasted transactions remain probable and (ii) the assessments of effectiveness for future London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves our past presentation of our derivatives. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections, as applicable.
3. Assets Held for Sale
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had a real estate property that was classified as held for sale. The amounts included in "Assets held for sale" in our balance sheets primarily represent the carrying value of real estate. The following is a summary of assets held for sale:

(2) As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our total investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures are greater than the net book value of the underlying assets by $ 19.5 million and $ 18.9 million, resulting principally from capitalized interest, partially offset by our zero investment balance in the real estate venture with CPPIB that owns 1101 17th Street .
We provide leasing, property management and other real estate services to our unconsolidated real estate ventures. We recognized revenue, including expense reimbursements, of $ 5.9 million and $ 6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 for such services.
Reconsideration events could cause us to consolidate these unconsolidated real estate ventures in the future or deconsolidate a consolidated entity. We evaluate reconsideration events as we become aware of them. Reconsideration events include amendments to real estate venture agreements and changes in our partner's ability to make contributions to the venture. Under certain circumstances, we may purchase our partner's interest.

5. Variable Interest Entities
We hold various interests in entities deemed to be VIEs, which we evaluate at acquisition, formation, after a change in the ownership agreement, after a change in the entity's economics or after any other reconsideration event to determine if the VIE should be consolidated in our financial statements or should no longer be considered a VIE. An entity is a VIE because it is in the development stage and/or does not hold sufficient equity at risk, or conducts substantially all its operations on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. We will consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, which entails having the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Certain criteria we assess in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE include our influence over significant business activities, our voting rights, and any noncontrolling interest kick-out or participating rights.
Unconsolidated VIEs
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had interests in entities deemed to be VIEs. Although we are engaged to act as the managing partner in charge of day-to-day operations of these investees, we are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, as we do not hold unilateral power over activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the respective VIE's performance. We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the net carrying amounts of our investment in these entities were $ 116.3 million and $ 116.2 million, which are included in "Investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures" in our balance sheets. Our equity in the income of unconsolidated VIEs is included in "Income (loss) from unconsolidated real estate ventures, net" in our statements of operations. Our maximum loss exposure in these entities is limited to our investments, construction commitments and debt guarantees. See Note 17 for additional information.
Consolidated VIEs
JBG SMITH LP is our most significant consolidated VIE. We hold 90.5 % of the limited partnership interest in JBG SMITH LP, act as the general partner and exercise full responsibility, discretion and control over its day-to-day management. The noncontrolling interests of JBG SMITH LP do not have substantive liquidation rights, substantive kick-out rights without cause, or substantive participating rights that could be exercised by a simple majority of noncontrolling interest limited partners (including by such a limited partner unilaterally). Because the noncontrolling interest holders do not have these rights, JBG SMITH LP is a VIE. As general partner, we have the power to direct the activities of JBG SMITH LP that most
13
Table of Contents
significantly affect its performance, and through our majority interest, we have both the right to receive benefits from and the obligation to absorb losses of JBG SMITH LP. Accordingly, we are the primary beneficiary of JBG SMITH LP and consolidate it in our financial statements. Because we conduct our business and hold our assets and liabilities through JBG SMITH LP, its total assets and liabilities comprise substantially all of our consolidated assets and liabilities.
Through the structure of the 1900 Crystal Drive transaction we executed in March 2021, we have the ability to facilitate an exchange out of an asset into 1900 Crystal Drive . We leased the land underlying 1900 Crystal Drive located in National Landing to a lessee, which plans to construct an 808 -unit multifamily asset comprising two towers with ground floor retail. The ground lessee has engaged us to be the development manager for the construction of 1900 Crystal Drive, and separately, we are the lessee in a master lease of the asset. We have an option to acquire the asset until a specified period after completion. In March 2021, the ground lessee entered into a mortgage loan collateralized by the leasehold interest with a maximum principal balance of $ 227.0 million and an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.0 % per annum. As of March 31, 2021, no proceeds had been received from the mortgage loan. In connection with the mortgage loan, we have guaranteed the completion of the asset and provided certain carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy). The ground lessee is obligated to invest $ 17.5 million of equity funding, and we are obligated to provide the additional project funding through a mezzanine loan to the ground lessee. As of March 31, 2021, the balance of the ground lessee’s equity contribution was $ 9.7 million. We determined that 1900 Crystal Drive is a VIE and that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, we consolidated the VIE with the lessee's ownership interest shown as "Noncontrolling interests" in our balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. The ground lease, the mezzanine loan and the master lease described above are eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31, 2021, the VIE had total assets and liabilities totaling $ 5.7 million and $ 585,000 . The assets can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIE, and the liabilities include third-party liabilities of the VIE for which the creditors or beneficial interest holders do not have recourse against us.

While the licenses are issued for ten years , as long as we act within the requirements and constraints of the regulatory authorities, the renewal and extension of these licenses is reasonably certain at minimal cost. Accordingly, we have concluded that the licenses are indefinite-lived intangible assets .

9. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
JBG SMITH LP
OP Units held by persons other than JBG SMITH are redeemable for cash or, at our election, our common shares, subject to certain limitations. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, unitholders redeemed 119,178 and 787,253 OP Units, which we elected to redeem for an equivalent number of our common shares. As of March 31, 2021, outstanding OP Units totaled 13.7 million, representing a 9.5 % ownership interest in JBG SMITH LP. On our balance sheets, our OP Units and certain vested long-term incentive partnership units ("LTIP Units") are presented at the higher of their redemption value or their carrying value, with such adjustments recognized in "Additional paid-in capital." Redemption value per OP Unit is equivalent to the market value of one of our common shares at the end of the period. In April 2021, unitholders redeemed 171,978 OP Units, which we elected to redeem for an equivalent number of our common shares.
Consolidated Real Estate Venture
We are a partner in a consolidated real estate venture that owns a multifamily asset located in Washington, D.C. Pursuant to the terms of the real estate venture agreement, we will fund all capital contributions until our ownership interest reaches a maximum of 97.0 %. Our partner can redeem its interest for cash under certain conditions. As of March 31, 2021, we held a 96.0 % ownership interest in the real estate venture.

11. Share-Based Payments
LTIP Units and Time-Based LTIP Units
In January 2021, we granted 485,753 LTIP Units with time-based vesting requirements ("Time-Based LTIP Units") to management and other employees with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $ 29.21 per unit that vest ratably over four years subject to continued employment. Compensation expense for these units is being recognized over a four-year period.
Additionally, in January 2021, we granted 163,065 fully vested LTIP Units, with a grant-date fair value of $ 29.54 per unit, to certain employees who elected to receive all or a portion of their cash bonus, related to 2020 service, as LTIP Units. Compensation expense totaling $ 4.8 million for these LTIP Units was recognized in 2020.
The aggregate grant-date fair value of these Time-Based LTIP Units and LTIP Units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $ 19.0 million. The LTIP Units were valued based on the closing common share price on the date of grant and the Time-Based LTIP Units were valued using Monte Carlo simulations. The following is a summary of the significant assumptions used to value the Time-Based LTIP Units:
Expected volatility
39.0 %
Risk-free interest rate
0.1 %
Post-grant restriction periods

Table of Contents
In April 2021, as part of their annual compensation, we granted a total of 71,792 fully vested LTIP Units to non-employee trustees with an aggregate grant-date fair value of $ 1.9 million. The LTIP Units may not be sold while such trustee is serving on the Board of Trustees.
Performance-Based LTIP Units
In January 2021, we granted 627,874 LTIP Units with performance-based vesting requirements ("Performance-Based LTIP Units") to management and other employees with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $ 15.14 per unit. Our Performance-Based LTIP Units have a three-year performance period. 50 % of any Performance-Based LTIP Units that are earned vest at the end of the three-year performance period and the remaining 50 % vest on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued employment. If, however, the Performance-Based LTIP Units do not achieve a positive absolute total shareholder return ("TSR") at the end of the three-year performance period, but satisfy the relative performance criteria thereof, 50 % of the units that otherwise could have been earned will be forfeited, and the remaining units that are earned will vest if and when we achieve a positive TSR during the succeeding seven years , measured at the end of each quarter. In January 2021, the three-year performance period ended for the Performance-Based LTIP Units granted on February 2, 2018. Based on our relative performance and absolute TSR over the three-year performance period, 100 % of the units granted were earned.
The aggregate grant-date fair value of the Performance-Based LTIP Units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $ 9.5 million, valued using Monte Carlo simulations. Compensation expense for the Performance-Based LTIP Units is being recognized over a four-year period. The following is a summary of the significant assumptions used to value the Performance-Based LTIP Units:
Expected volatility
34.0 %
Dividend yield
2.6 %
Risk-free interest rate
0.2 %
Restricted Share Units ("RSUs")
Beginning in 2021, certain non-executive employees were granted RSUs with time-based vesting requirements ("Time-Based RSUs") and RSUs with performance-based vesting requirements ("Performance-Based RSUs") as part of their annual compensation. Vesting requirements and compensation expense recognition for the Time-Based RSUs and the Performance-Based RSUs are identical to those of the Time-Based LTIP Units and Performance-Based LTIP Units. In January 2021, we granted 18,343 Time-Based RSUs with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $ 31.33 per unit, and 11,886 Performance-Based RSUs with a grant-date fair value of $ 15.14 per unit.
The aggregate grant-date fair value of the RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $ 755,000 . The Time-Based RSUs were valued based on the closing price on the date of grant and the Performance-Based RSUs were valued using Monte Carlo simulations with the same significant assumptions used to value the Performance-Based LTIP Units above.

The effect of the redemption of OP Units and Time-Based LTIP Units that were outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 is excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per common share as the assumed exchange of such units for common shares on a one-for-one basis was antidilutive (the assumed redemption of these units would have no impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share). Since OP Units and Time-Based LTIP Units, which are held by noncontrolling interests, are attributed gains at an identical proportion to the common shareholders, the gains attributable and their equivalent weighted average OP Unit and Time-Based LTIP Unit impact are excluded from net income (loss) available to common shareholders and from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in calculating diluted earnings

per common share. Performance-Based LTIP Units, Special Performance-Based LTIP Units, Formation Awards and RSUs, which totaled 3.9 million and 4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as they were antidilutive, but potentially could be dilutive in the future.
15. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
To manage or hedge our exposure to interest rate risk, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of a variety of derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had various derivative financial instruments consisting of interest rate swap and cap agreements that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The net unrealized loss on our derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges was $ 33.8 million and $ 43.9 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and was recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in our balance sheets, of which a portion was reclassified to "Redeemable noncontrolling interests." Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $ 14.9 million as an increase to interest expense.
Accounting Standards Codification 820 ("Topic 820"), Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and
Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available.
The fair values of the derivative financial instruments are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and observable inputs. The derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following is a summary of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The fair values of our derivative financial instruments were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative financial instrument. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate market data and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While it was determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy under authoritative accounting
21
Table of Contents
guidance, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the derivatives also utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. However, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments was assessed, and it was determined that these adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments. As a result, it was determined that the derivative financial instruments in their entirety should be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The net unrealized gains and losses included in "Other comprehensive income (loss)" in our statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were attributable to the net change in unrealized gains or losses related to the interest rate swaps that were outstanding during those periods, none of which were reported in our statements of operations as the interest rate swaps were documented and qualified as hedging instruments.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all financial assets and liabilities were reflected in our balance sheets at amounts which, in our estimation, reasonably approximated their fair values, except for the following:

(1) The carrying amount consists of principal only.
The fair values of the mortgages payable and unsecured term loans were determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our mortgages payable is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit profiles based on market sources. The fair value of our unsecured term loans is calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the facilities using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms.
16. Segment Information
We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, each of our individual properties is a separate operating segment. We define our reportable segments to be aligned with our method of internal reporting and the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results, allocates resources and manages our business. Accordingly, we aggregate our operating segments into three reportable segments (commercial, multifamily, and third-party asset management and real estate services) based on the economic characteristics and nature of our assets and services.
The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of our operating segments, with the exception of the third-party asset management and real estate services business, based on the net operating income ("NOI") of properties within each segment. NOI includes property rental revenue and parking revenue, and deducts property operating expenses and real estate taxes.
With respect to the third-party asset management and real estate services business, the CODM reviews revenue streams generated by this segment ("Third-party real estate services, including reimbursements"), as well as the expenses attributable to the segment ("General and administrative: third-party real estate services"), which are both disclosed

17. Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $ 150.0 million per occurrence and in the aggregate, and property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $ 1.5 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties. We also maintain coverage, through our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary, for a portion of the first loss on the above limits and for both terrorist acts and for nuclear, biological, chemical
24
Table of Contents
or radiological terrorism events with limits of $ 2.0 billion per occurrence. These policies are partially reinsured by third-party insurance providers.
We will continue to monitor the state of the insurance market, and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. We cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of the insurance coverage, which could be material.
Our debt, consisting of mortgages payable secured by our properties, a revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans, contains customary covenants requiring adequate insurance coverage. Although we believe that we currently have adequate insurance coverage, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect the ability to finance or refinance our properties.
Construction Commitments
As of March 31, 2021, we had construction in progress that will require an additional $ 351.3 million to complete ($ 345.9 million related to a consolidated entity and $ 5.4 million related to an unconsolidated real estate venture at our share), based on our current plans and estimates, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next four years . These capital expenditures are generally due as the work is performed, and we expect to finance them with debt proceeds, proceeds from asset recapitalizations and sales, issuance and sale of securities, and available cash.
Environmental Matters
Most of our assets have been subject, at some point, to environmental assessments that are intended to evaluate the environmental condition of the subject and surrounding assets. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our overall business, financial condition or results of operations, or that have not been anticipated and remediated during site redevelopment as required by law. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant cost to us. Environmental liabilities totaled $ 18.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and are included in "Other liabilities, net" in our balance sheets.
Other
As of March 31, 2021, we had committed tenant-related obligations totaling $ 58.2 million ($ 54.6 million related to our consolidated entities and $ 3.6 million related to our unconsolidated real estate ventures at our share). The timing and amounts of payments for tenant-related obligations are uncertain and may only be due upon satisfactory performance of certain conditions.
There are various legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
From time to time, we (or ventures in which we have an ownership interest) have agreed, and may in the future agree with respect to unconsolidated real estate ventures, to (i) guarantee portions of the principal, interest and other amounts in connection with borrowings, (ii) provide customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) in connection with borrowings or (iii) provide guarantees to lenders and other third parties for the completion of development projects. We customarily have agreements with our outside venture partners whereby the partners agree to reimburse the real estate venture or us for their share of any payments made under certain of these guarantees. At times, we also have agreements with certain of our outside venture partners whereby we agree to either indemnify the partners and/or the associated ventures with respect to certain contingent liabilities associated with operating assets or to reimburse our partner for its share of any payments made by them under certain guarantees. Guarantees (excluding environmental) customarily terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying debt. Amounts that we may be required to pay in future periods in relation to guarantees associated with budget overruns or operating losses are not estimable.
25
Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2021, we had additional capital commitments and certain recorded guarantees to our unconsolidated real estate ventures totaling $ 53.8 million. As of March 31, 2021, we had no principal payment guarantees related to our unconsolidated real estate ventures.
Additionally, with respect to borrowings of our consolidated entities, we have agreed, and may in the future agree, to (i) guarantee portions of the principal, interest and other amounts, (ii) provide customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) or (iii) provide guarantees to lenders, tenants and other third parties for the completion of development projects. As of March 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of principal payment guarantees was $ 8.3 million for our consolidated entities.
In connection with the Formation Transaction, we have an agreement with Vornado regarding tax matters (the "Tax Matters Agreement") that provides special rules that allocate tax liabilities if the distribution of JBG SMITH shares by Vornado, together with certain related transactions, is determined not to be tax-free. Under the Tax Matters Agreement, we may be required to indemnify Vornado for any taxes and related amounts and costs resulting from a violation by us of the Tax Matters Agreement.
18. Transactions with Related Parties
Our third-party asset management and real estate services business provides fee-based real estate services to the WHI, Amazon, the JBG Legacy Funds and other third parties. We provide services for the benefit of the JBG Legacy Funds that own interests in the assets retained by the JBG Legacy Funds. In connection with the contribution to us of the assets formerly owned by the JBG Legacy Funds as part of the Formation Transaction, the general partner and managing member interests in the JBG Legacy Funds that were held by certain former JBG executives (and who became members of our management team and/or Board of Trustees) were not transferred to us and remain under the control of these individuals. In addition, certain members of our senior management and Board of Trustees have ownership interests in the JBG Legacy Funds and own carried interests in each fund and in certain of our real estate ventures that entitle them to receive cash payments if the fund or real estate venture achieves certain return thresholds.
We launched the WHI with the Federal City Council in June 2018 as a scalable market-driven model that uses private capital to help address the scarcity of housing for middle income families. We are the manager for the WHI Impact Pool, which is the social impact debt financing vehicle of the WHI. As of March 31, 2021, the WHI Impact Pool closed on capital commitments totaling $ 114.4 million, which includes a commitment from us of $ 11.2 million.
The third-party real estate services revenue, including expense reimbursements, from the JBG Legacy Funds and the WHI Impact Pool was $ 5.8 million and $ 8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had receivables from the JBG Legacy Funds and the WHI Impact Pool totaling $ 7.9 million and $ 7.5 million for such services.
We rented our former corporate offices from an unconsolidated real estate venture and made payments totaling $ 271,000 and $ 1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
We have agreements with Building Maintenance Services ("BMS"), an entity in which we have a minor preferred interest, to supervise cleaning, engineering and security services at our properties. We paid BMS $ 4.3 million and $ 5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, which is included in "Property operating expenses" in our statements of operations.
19. Subsequent Events
On April 29, 2021, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $ 0.225 per common share, payable on May 27, 2021 to shareholders of record as of May 13, 2021.
In April 2021, we entered into two real estate ventures, in which we have 50 % ownership interests, to design, develop, manage and own approximately 2.0 million square feet of new mixed-use development located in Potomac Yard, the southern portion of National Landing. Our venture partner contributed a land site that is entitled for 1.3 million square feet
26
Table of Contents
of development it controls at Potomac Yard Landbay F, while we contributed the adjacent land with over 700,000 square feet of estimated development capacity at Potomac Yard Landbay G. We will also act as pre-developer, developer, property manager and leasing agent for all future commercial and residential properties on the site. As part of the transaction, our venture partner elected to accelerate the monetization of a 2013 promote interest in the land contributed by it to the ventures. The total amount of the promote expected to be paid is approximately $ 17.5 million, of which $ 4.3 million will be paid to certain of our non-employee trustees and certain of our executives.
