Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are utilized when determining the fair value of investment properties. The significant Level 3 inputs include:
Valuation TechniqueSignificant Unobservable InputsRelationship of Unobservable Inputs to Fair ValueMitigating Factors
Discounted cash flow analysis1
•  Future cash flows – primarily driven by net operating income
•  Increases (decreases) in future cash flows increase (decrease) fair value
Increases (decreases) in cash flows tend to be accompanied by increases (decreases) in discount rates that may offset changes in fair value from cash flows
•  Discount rate
Increases (decreases) in discount rate decrease (increase) fair value
Increases (decreases) in discount rates tend to be accompanied by increases (decreases) in cash flows that may offset changes in fair value from discount rates
•  Terminal capitalization rate

Increases (decreases) in terminal capitalization rate decrease (increase) fair value
Increases (decreases) in terminal capitalization rates tend to be accompanied by increases (decreases) in cash flows that may offset changes in fair value from terminal capitalization rates
•  Investment horizon
Increases (decreases) in the investment horizon decrease (increase) fair value
Increases (decreases) in the investment horizon tend to be the result of changing cash flow profiles that may result in higher (lower) growth in cash flows prior to stabilizing in the terminal year
1.Certain investment properties are valued using the direct capitalization method instead of a discounted cash flow model. Under the direct capitalization method, a capitalization rate is applied to estimated current year cash flows.
The company’s investment properties are diversified by asset type, asset class, geography and market. Therefore, there may be mitigating factors in addition to those noted above, such as changes to assumptions that vary in direction and magnitude across different geographies and markets.
