Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 include the accounts and operating results of the Company and the Operating Partnership. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), in preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in banking institutions that may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We have not realized any losses of such cash investments or accounts and mitigate risk by using nationally recognized banking institutions.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow in connection with gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties. These sales proceeds will be reinvested in qualifying replacement properties under Section 1031 of the Code or returned to us upon expiration of the applicable exchange period. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments. For purposes of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, changes in restricted cash are aggregated with cash and cash equivalents.
Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation
Investment in real estate is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. We review our properties on a quarterly basis for potential impairment and record a provision if impairments are identified. To determine if an impairment may exist, we review our properties and identify those that have had either an event of change or event of circumstances warranting further assessment of recoverability (such as a decrease in occupancy, a decline in general market conditions or a change in the expected hold period of an asset or asset group). The judgments regarding the existence of indicators of impairment are based on the operating performance, market conditions, as well as our ability to hold and our intent with regard to each property. If further assessment of recoverability is needed, we estimate the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the property and its eventual disposition. Estimated future net cash flows are based on estimates of future operating performance and market conditions. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property or group of properties, we will recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount in which carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property or group of properties. The assessment of fair value requires the use of estimates and assumptions relating to the timing and amounts of cash flow projections, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates.
We classify properties and related assets and liabilities as held for sale when the sale of an asset has been approved by management, a legally enforceable contract has been executed and the buyer's due diligence period, if any, has expired. Once classified as held for sale, the respective assets and liabilities are presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Depreciation ceases and the properties are valued at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose.
Interest expense, real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel and other costs directly attributable to development projects are capitalized during periods in which activities necessary to prepare the development for its intended use are in progress. Interest is capitalized based on the weighted average borrowing rate during the construction period. Upon substantial completion, construction in progress is reclassified to building and tenant improvements and depreciation is commenced.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives: 
 Years
Buildings and Improvements
7 to 50
Land Improvements
4 to 25
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
2 to 5
Tenant ImprovementsShorter of Useful Life or Terms of Related Lease
Construction expenditures for tenant improvements, leasehold improvements and leasing commissions (inclusive of incentive compensation costs of personnel directly attributable to executed leases) are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized.
Upon acquisition of a property, we allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consists of land, buildings, tenant improvements, construction in progress, leasing commissions and deferred lease intangibles including in-place lease assets and above market and below market lease assets and liabilities. We allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The determination of fair value includes the use of significant assumptions such as land comparables, discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rent assumptions. Acquired above and below market lease intangibles are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rental rates and the in-place rental rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases or the remaining term of the lease plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases. The value of above and below market lease intangibles, which are included as assets or liabilities in the line items Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net or Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are amortized as an increase or decrease to rental revenue over the remaining initial lease term, plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.
The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values based on an estimate of the lease revenue received during a reasonable lease-up period as if the property was vacant on the date of acquisition. The value of in-place lease intangibles, which are included in the line item Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are amortized over the remaining initial lease term (including expected renewal periods) as adjustments to depreciation and other amortization expense. If a tenant fully terminates its lease early, the unamortized portion of the tenant improvements, leasing commissions, above and below market intangibles and the in-place lease value is immediately accelerated and fully amortized on the date of the termination.
Our typical acquisitions consist of properties whereby substantially all the fair value or gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (land, building, construction in progress and in-place leases) and, therefore, are accounted for as asset acquisitions, which permits the capitalization of transaction costs to the basis of the acquired property.
Deferred leasing intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net and Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of the following:

Amortization expense related to in-place leases and tenant relationships was $5,975, $5,419 and $6,735 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, lease revenue increased by $2,698, $3,482 and $4,430, respectively, related to net amortization of above and below market leases. We will recognize net amortization expense related to deferred leasing intangibles over the next five years for properties owned as of December 31, 2025 as follows:

Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs, which include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing, are amortized over the terms of the respective loans. Unamortized debt issuance costs are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date. Debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the respective debt liability, consistent with the treatment of debt discounts, except for the debt issuance costs related to the unsecured credit facility which are included in the line item Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Investment in Joint Venture
Investment in joint venture represents a noncontrolling equity interest in a joint venture arrangement. We have determined to account for our investment in the Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting, as we do not have a majority voting interest, operational control or financial control. Control is determined using accounting standards related to the consolidation of joint ventures and variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Under the equity method of accounting, our share of earnings or losses of the Joint Venture is reflected in income as earned and contributions or distributions increase or decrease our investment in the Joint Venture as paid or received, respectively. Differences between our carrying value of our investment in the Joint Venture and our underlying equity are amortized and included as an adjustment to our equity in income (loss) or recognized, either in whole or in part, during the period that real estate assets are sold from the Joint Venture.
We account for our interests in the Joint Venture using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model. Under this method, we record our Equity in Income (Loss) of the Joint Venture based on our proportionate share of the Joint Venture's earnings based on our ownership interest, after giving effect to incentive fees which we are entitled to receive.
We classify distributions received from the Joint Venture using the cumulative earnings approach. In general, distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, our cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceed cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of our investments in joint venture arrangements may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if our estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the investment's carrying value over its fair value.
Noncontrolling Interests
Limited Partner Units are reported within Partners' Capital in the Operating Partnership's balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 because they are not redeemable for cash or other assets (a) at a fixed or determinable date, (b) at the option of the Unitholder or (c) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Operating Partnership. Redemption can be effectuated, as determined by the General Partner, either by exchanging the Units for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, or by paying cash equal to the fair market value of such shares.
The Operating Partnership is the only significant asset of the Company and economic, fiduciary and contractual means align the interests of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Company's Board of Directors and officers of the Company direct the Company to act when acting in its capacity as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Because of this, the Operating Partnership is deemed to have effective control of the form of redemption consideration. As of December 31, 2025, all criteria were met for the Operating Partnership to control the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of the Company's common shares required to be delivered upon redemption of all remaining Limited Partner Units.
Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own a 43% interest in the Joint Venture that is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Our ownership interest in the Joint Venture is held through a partnership with a third party ("Joint Venture Partnership"). We concluded that we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Joint Venture Partnership. As a result, we consolidate the Joint Venture Partnership, which holds an aggregate 49% interest in the Joint Venture and reflect the third-party's interest as Noncontrolling Interests within the financial statements of the Company and Operating Partnership. See Note 5.
Stock Based Compensation
We measure compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally the vesting period.
Revenue Recognition
We lease our properties to tenants under agreements that are classified as leases. We recognize, as rental income, the total minimum lease payments under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance, and other property operating expenses are recovered from our tenants and recognized as tenant recovery revenue in the same period we incur the related expenses. As the timing and straight-line pattern of transfer to the lessee for rental revenue and the associated rental recoveries are the same and our leases qualify as operating leases, we account for the present rental revenue and tenant recovery revenue as a single component under Lease Revenue.
We assess the collectibility of lease receivables (including future minimum rental payments) at commencement and throughout the lease term. If we conclude that collection of lease payments is not probable at lease commencement, we will recognize lease payments only as they are received. If collection of lease payments is concluded to be probable at commencement and our assessment of collectibility changes during the lease term, any difference between the revenue that would have been received under the straight-line method and the lease payments that have been collected will be recognized as a current period adjustment to Lease Revenue and revenue will subsequently be accounted for on a cash basis until such time that collection of future rent is deemed probable.
If a lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether we or the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvements funded by the tenant are treated as lease payments which are deferred and amortized as revenue over the lease term. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, we record any tenant improvement allowance paid to tenant as a lease inducement and amortize it as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.
We recognize fees received from tenants to fully terminate their lease prior to the contractual end date on a straight-line basis from the notification date through the revised lease end date.
Property Expenses
Property expenses include real estate taxes, utilities, repairs and maintenance, property insurance as well as the cost of our property management personnel and other costs of managing our properties. Several of our leases require tenants to pay real estate taxes directly to taxing authorities. We exclude from property expenses certain lessor costs, such as real estate taxes, that we contractually require tenants to pay directly to a third party on our behalf. The amounts paid directly to third parties by tenants for lessor costs are also excluded from lease revenues.
Lessee Accounting
We are a lessee on a limited number of ground and office leases. We elected the practical expedient to combine our lease and related nonlease components for our lessee building leases. Right of Use ("ROU") assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our variable lease payments consist of nonlease services related to the lease. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use information available at lease commencement to estimate an appropriate incremental borrowing rate on a fully-collateralized basis to determine the present value of lease payments. Many of our lessee agreements include options to extend the lease, which we do not include in our lease terms unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate
Asset sales are generally recognized when control of the asset being sold is transferred to the buyer. As the assets are sold, their costs and related accumulated depreciation, if any, are derecognized with resulting gains or losses reflected in net income.
When our tenants' leases contain purchase options, we assess the probability that the tenant will execute the purchase option both at lease commencement or at the time the tenant communicates their intent to execute the purchase option. If we determine the execution of the purchase option is reasonably certain, we will account for the lease as a sales-type lease and derecognize the associated real estate assets on our balance sheet and record a gain or loss on sale.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must satisfy certain organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to its dividend paid deduction, to its stockholders. Management intends to continue to operate in a manner that will allow the Company to maintain its REIT status.
As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes to shareholders an amount equal to or in excess of the Company's taxable income, and therefore is entitled to a dividends paid deduction for qualifying distributions. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would become subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and generally would be prohibited from re-electing REIT status for the four taxable years following such disqualification.
REIT qualification reduces, but does not eliminate, the amount of state and local taxes we pay. In addition, certain activities that we undertake may be conducted by entities which have elected to be treated as a TRS, which are subject to federal, state and local income taxes. A benefit or provision has been made for federal, state and local income taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's Operating Partnership is treated as a partnership for federal and most state income tax purposes. As such, taxable income or loss is passed through to, and reported by, each of the partners in accordance with their ownership interests.
Earnings Per Share and Earnings Per Unit ("EPS" and "EPU")
We use the two-class method of computing earnings per common share or Unit, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Basic net income per common share or Unit is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders or Unitholders by the weighted average number of common shares or Units outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share or Unit is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders or Unitholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares or Units outstanding and any dilutive non-participating securities for the period.
Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, we have used derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk on anticipated offerings of long-term debt. Receipts or payments resulting from the settlement of derivative instruments used to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured notes are amortized over the life of the derivative or the life of the debt and are included in interest expense. Receipts or payments resulting from derivative instruments used to convert floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt are also recognized as a component of interest expense.
To qualify for hedge accounting, derivative instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge. In addition, at the inception of a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship, the underlying transaction or transactions, must be, and are expected to remain, probable of occurring consistent with our related assertions. We recognize all derivative instruments at fair value in the line items Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net or Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated in hedging relationships or that do not meet the criteria of hedge accounting are recognized in earnings. For derivative instruments designated in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, changes in fair value related to the effective portion of the derivative instruments are recognized in the line item Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, whereas changes in fair value of the ineffective portion are recognized in earnings. If a derivative instrument ceases to be highly effective as a hedge, or if it becomes probable the underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, we discontinue cash flow hedge accounting prospectively and record the appropriate adjustment to earnings based on the current fair value of the derivative instrument.
The credit risks associated with derivative instruments are managed through the evaluation and ongoing monitoring of the creditworthiness of the counterparties. In the event that a counterparty fails to meet the terms of a derivative instrument, our exposure is limited to the fair value of the instrument, not its notional amount.
Fair Value
GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value based on observable and unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions of pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. We estimate fair value using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three broad levels:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability; and
Level 3 - unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists for the asset or liability.
Our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that we would realize on disposition.
Segment Reporting
Management views the Company as operating within a single business segment. Our primary activities include acquiring, developing, leasing and managing industrial properties across various geographic markets within the United States. We manage our operations on a consolidated basis to assess performance and make strategic operating decisions. Although we have target markets, we do not operate individual markets independently from our overall portfolio nor do we distinguish our business or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of assessing overall performance. Our Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM").
The CODM uses consolidated net income as the primary measure to assess overall company performance and to allocate resources. Consolidated net income is presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and provides a comprehensive view of the Company's financial performance, including both property and non-property financial results. The CODM reviews significant expenses associated with the Company's single operating segment, including property-related and corporate-level costs, which are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We do not report asset information for our single segment as it is not utilized by our CODM for assessing performance or allocating resources. Asset values for our properties are reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at historical cost which may not reflect current market value.
Our property portfolio is well diversified across a broad range of tenants and industries. No single tenant or property accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced income tax disclosures, including further disaggregation of federal and state income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the year ended December 31, 2025. We adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. The additional required disclosures related to ASU 2023-09 are included in Note 9.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires enhanced disclosures regarding income statement expenses, including disaggregation of significant categories such as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, property operating expenses and employee compensation, within relevant expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. We are currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on our financial statement disclosures.
