Key capital events
- In February 2023, we opportunistically issued $1.0 billion of unsecured senior notes payable with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.95% and a weighted-average maturity of 21.2 years. The unsecured senior notes include:
- $500.0 million of 4.75% green unsecured senior notes due 2035; and

- As of 1Q23, we have outstanding forward equity agreements from 2022 aggregating 699 thousand shares of common stock with expected net proceeds of $102.5 million.
- As of March 31, 2023, the remaining aggregate amount available under our ATM program for future sales of common stock was $141.9 million.
Investments
- As of March 31, 2023:
- Our non-real estate investments aggregated $1.6 billion.
- Unrealized gains presented in our consolidated balance sheet were $336.8 million, comprising gross unrealized gains and losses aggregating $459.3 million and $122.5 million, respectively.
- For 1Q23, investment loss of $45.1 million presented in our consolidated statements of operations consisted of $20.7 million of realized gains and $65.9 million of unrealized losses/changes in fair value.
External growth and investments in real estate
Alexandria's value-creation pipeline drives visibility for future growth aggregating over $610 million of incremental net operating income
- Highly leased value-creation pipeline of current and four near-term projects expected to generate greater than $610 million of incremental net operating income, primarily commencing from 2Q23 through 1Q26.
- 6.7 million RSF of value-creation projects, 74% of which is leased/negotiating.
- 79% of the leased RSF of our value-creation projects was generated from our client base of over 850 tenants.
- During 1Q23, we placed into service development and redevelopment projects aggregating 453,511 RSF across multiple submarkets, resulting in $23 million of incremental annual net operating income.
- Annual net operating income (cash basis) is expected to increase by $41 million upon the burn-off of initial free rent from recently delivered projects.
Subsequent events
Sale of partial interest in consolidated real estate joint venture
As of March 31, 2023, our investment in 15 Necco Street, a development project aggregating 345,995 RSF located in our Seaport Innovation District submarket, was held in a consolidated real estate joint venture in which 90% was owned by us and 10% was owned by our existing joint venture partner.
In April 2023, an investor acquired a 20% interest in this joint venture, which consists of an 18% interest sold by us and a 2% interest sold by our existing partner. The sales price of the 18% interest sold by us was $66.1 million. Upon completion of the sale, our ownership interest in the consolidated joint venture is 72% and our existing and new partners' noncontrolling interests are 8% and 20%, respectively. We retained control over this real estate joint venture and therefore continue to consolidate it. We expect our new joint venture partner to contribute capital aggregating $119.0 million to fund construction spending over time and to accrete its ownership interest in the joint venture from 20% to 37%. Our ownership percentage is expected to decline from 90% prior to this transaction to 57%.
Asset held for sale
In January 2020, we acquired a three-building office campus aggregating 509,702 RSF in our Route 128 submarket. At the time of our acquisition, the campus was fully occupied with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 6.1 years. We had intended to convert the campus into office/laboratory space through redevelopment upon the expirations of the acquired in-place leases.
Since our acquisition, the macroeconomic environment and demand for office space have deteriorated considerably. In April 2023, upon meeting the criteria for classification as held for sale, we recognized a real estate impairment charge of approximately $139 million to reduce our investment in this campus to its current fair value less costs to sell from the book value of $259 million. These buildings represent our only pure operating office campus in the Greater Boston market, and we expect to complete the sale in mid-2023.
Industry and ESG leadership: catalyzing and leading the way for positive change to benefit human health and society
- In March 2023, Alexandria was named one of Newsweek's Most Trustworthy Companies in America. The Company was one of only six S&P 500 REITs recognized based on three main public touchpoints of trust: customer trust, investor trust and employee trust.
- During 1Q23, Alexandria earned several awards in recognition of excellence in operations, asset management, development, and leasing across our regions:
- In our Greater Boston market, Alexandria received two 2023 BOMA Mid-Atlantic TOBY (The Outstanding Building of the Year) awards — Corporate Facility of the Year for 225 Binney Street on our Alexandria Center® at Kendall Square mega campus and Building Under 100,000 SF for 700 Technology Square on our Alexandria Technology Square® mega campus. The TOBY Awards honor and recognize quality in commercial buildings and reward excellence in building management.
- In our San Diego market, Alexandria was selected for two 2023 CoStar Impact Awards: Commercial Development of the Year for 10055 Barnes Canyon Road on our SD Tech by Alexandria mega campus; and Lease of the Year for a near-term development project on our Campus Point by Alexandria mega campus. The CoStar Impact Awards recognize exemplary commercial real estate transactions and projects completed in 2022 that have significantly influenced their communities.
- In our Research Triangle market, Alexandria earned three awards in the Triangle Business Journal's 2023 SPACE Awards — Top Office Development for 8 Davis Drive on our Alexandria Center® for Advanced Technologies mega campus, Top Life Science/Laboratory Lease at 7 Triangle Drive, and Top Flex Lease at our Alexandria Center® for Life Science – Durham mega campus. The annual SPACE Awards recognize the Research Triangle's top real estate developments and transactions.
- In January 2023, Alexandria became a founding sponsor of the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) new Labs2Zero program. As a founding sponsor, we are helping drive the development of I2SL's new roadmap, which aims to improve the energy and emissions performance of existing and future laboratory buildings.

The decline of 20 basis points in our 2023 guidance range for occupancy percentage in North America as of December 31, 2023 relates to a two-building value-creation project aggregating 201,499 RSF in our Greater Houston submarket to convert office space to office/laboratory space through redevelopment. One building aggregates 130,765 RSF and is 36% leased, with initial occupancy expected to commence in 2023. In connection with our strategic review of projected 2023 construction spending, we temporarily paused construction work on the second building, which aggregates 70,734 RSF, until further lease-up of the 130,765 RSF building. As of March 31, 2023, the vacant 70,734 RSF building was classified as an operating property.

Represents a development project under construction aggregating 345,995 RSF, 97% of which is leased to the Lilly Institute for Genetic Medicine. In April 2023, an investor acquired a 20% interest in this joint venture, which consists of an 18% interest sold by us and a 2% interest sold by our existing partner. Upon completion of the sale, our ownership interest in the consolidated real estate joint venture is 72% and our existing and new partners' noncontrolling interests are 8% and 20%, respectively. We retained control over this real estate joint venture and therefore continue to consolidate it. We expect our new joint venture partner to contribute capital aggregating $119.0 million to fund construction spending over time and to accrete its ownership interest in the joint venture from 20% to 37%. Our ownership percentage is expected to decline from 90% prior to this transaction to 57%.
