Amortization of customer relationship value, acquired in-place lease value and other intangibles (a component of depreciation and amortization expense) was approximately $65.3 million and $58.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and approximately $185.5 million and $172.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

​

In connection with the Columbia Capital Acquisition, we recognized intangible assets related to customer relationship value, existing investment management contracts and trade names. Amortization expense related to these intangible assets was approximately $4.4 million from the acquisition date through September 30, 2026.

​

Amortization of acquired below-market leases, net of acquired above-market leases, resulted in an increase in rental and other services revenue of $2.5 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and approximately $5.3 million and $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

​

Estimated annual amortization for each of the five succeeding years and thereafter, commencing October 1, 2026 is as follows:
