NOTE 2. RENTAL PROPERTIES

As of June 30, 2026, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships owned 3,411 residential apartment units in 27 residential and mixed-use complexes (collectively, the “Apartment Complexes”). The Partnership also owns 19 condominium units in a residential condominium complex, all of which are leased to residential tenants (collectively referred to as the “Condominium Units”). The Apartment Complexes and Condominium Units are located primarily in the metropolitan Boston area of Massachusetts.

Additionally, as of June 30, 2026, the Partnership and Subsidiary Partnerships owned two commercial shopping centers in Framingham, commercial buildings in Newton and Brookline, commercial space in mixed-use properties in Boston, Brockton, Belmont and Newton, all in Massachusetts. These properties are referred to collectively as the “Commercial Properties.”

The Partnership also owned a 40% to 50% ownership interest in seven residential and mixed use complexes (the “Investment Properties”) at June 30, 2026 with a total of 688 apartment units, accounted for using the equity method of consolidation. See Note 15 for summary information on these investments.

On June 18, 2025, the Partnership, through its subsidiaries, purchased a mixed-use property comprising 396 residential units and 3 commercial units in Belmont, Massachusetts for $172,000,000. Closing costs were approximately $218,000. Additionally, the Partnership, through its subsidiaries, purchased two commercial properties for $3,000,000 in Belmont, Massachusetts. The property acquisitions were financed through proceeds from the sale of U.S. Treasury bills, additional borrowings on the Master Credit Facility of $40,000,000, and proceeds of an interim mortgage loan of $67,500,000. From the purchase price, the Partnership allocated approximately $4,714,000 for in-place leases, approximately $305,000 to the value of tenant relationships and $1,165,000 to the value of below-market leases. These amounts are being amortized over 12 and 36 months respectively. The loan was refinanced on December 30, 2025. The refinanced loan for $67,656,000 is interest only at a rate of 5.19% and a maturity date of December 30, 2035.

On January 28, 2026, the Partnership sold the two commercial office buildings for the sales price of approximately $2,600,000, with closing costs of approximately $142,000, incurring an additional loss of approximately $151,000.

In December, 2023, the Partnership received approval from MassHousing to construct a 72 unit apartment building in accordance with Chapter 40B to include 17 affordable units on the Mill Street Development site. In addition, Mill Street Development deposited $75,000 into escrow to comply with the 40B project requirement of a cost certification of total development costs upon completion of the project. The Partnership demolished the existing building structures in order to start construction in 2024. The property was placed in service on January 1, 2026. Total investment was approximately $35 million. On December 23, 2025, the Partnership closed a $17,500,000 loan with Brookline Bank at an interest rate of 5.68% interest only, with a two year term.
