Dispositions

​

In March 2026, the Company sold four operating communities located in various markets with a total of 1,159 apartment homes for gross proceeds of $362.0 million, resulting in total gains of approximately $157.4 million.

​

In June 2026, the Company sold an operating community located in Nashville, Tennessee with 206 apartment homes for gross proceeds of $41.5 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $35.7 million.

​

In July 2026, the Company contributed one wholly-owned operating community, with 360 apartment homes located in Nashville, Tennessee, to our existing joint venture with LaSalle, while maintaining our 51% ownership interest in the venture. The contribution resulted in the Company no longer retaining a controlling interest in the community, and the Company deconsolidated the operating community. In connection with the contribution, our joint venture partner contributed cash and new debt was placed on the newly contributed operating community and an existing operating community, resulting in the Company receiving approximately $103.2 million of cash proceeds. The transaction was accounted for as a partial sale and resulted in a gain of approximately $75.2 million, which was recorded in Gain/(loss) on sale of real estate owned on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, which consisted of the gain on

the partial sale and the initial measurement of our retained interest at fair value. (See Note 5, Joint Ventures and Partnerships for further discussion).

In July 2026, the Company sold an operating community located in Seattle, Washington with 235 apartment homes for gross proceeds of $157.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $93.7 million.

Other Activity

Predevelopment, development, and redevelopment projects and related costs are capitalized and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total real estate owned, net of accumulated depreciation. The Company capitalizes costs directly related to the predevelopment, development, and redevelopment of a capital project, which include, but are not limited to, interest, real estate taxes, insurance, and allocated development and redevelopment overhead related to support costs for personnel working on the capital projects. We use our professional judgment in determining whether such costs meet the criteria for capitalization or must be expensed as incurred. These costs are capitalized only during the period in which activities necessary to ready an asset for its intended use are in progress and such costs are incremental and identifiable to a specific activity to get the asset ready for its intended use. These costs, excluding the direct costs of development and redevelopment and capitalized interest, for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, were $2.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, were $8.9 million and $5.5 million, respectively. Total capitalized interest was $2.6 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $7.0 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As each apartment home in a capital project is completed and becomes available for lease-up, the Company ceases capitalization on the related portion of the costs and depreciation commences over the estimated useful life.

We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the future operation and disposition of those assets are less than the net book value of those assets. Our cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions and our estimated holding periods. The net book value of impaired assets is reduced to fair value. Our estimates of fair value represent our best estimate based upon Level 3 inputs such as industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions. The Company did not recognize any impairments in the value of its long-lived assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

In connection with the acquisition of certain properties, the Company agreed to pay certain of the tax liabilities of certain contributors if the Company sells one or more of the properties contributed in a taxable transaction prior to the expiration of specified periods of time following the acquisition. The Company may, however, sell, without being required to pay any tax liabilities, any of such properties in a non-taxable transaction, including, but not limited to, a tax-deferred Section 1031 exchange. 

Further, the Company has agreed to maintain certain debt some of which may be guaranteed by certain contributors for specified periods of time following the acquisition. The Company, however, has the ability to refinance or repay guaranteed debt or to substitute new debt if the debt and the guaranty continue to satisfy certain conditions.
