Rental Property Revenues: The Company recognizes contractual revenues from leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease. Our leases regularly include allowances for tenant improvements. If we determine the improvements are our assets, we capitalize the cost of the improvements and recognize depreciation expense associated with such improvements over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease. If the improvements are tenant assets, we defer the cost of improvements funded by us as a lease incentive asset and amortize it as a reduction of rental revenue over the term of the lease. Our determination of whether improvements are our assets or tenant assets also affects when we commence revenue recognition in connection with a lease. The Company records deferred revenue for the portion of Company owned tenant improvements funded by or reimbursed by tenants and amortizes this amount on a straight-line basis into rental income over the term of the related lease. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had unamortized deferred income related to tenant-funded tenant improvements of $255.2 million and $228.4 million, respectively, included in deferred income on the consolidated balance sheets. During 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $34.6 million, $28.4 million, and $20.0 million, respectively, in revenues related to the amortization of tenant-funded tenant improvements.
