(1)Refer to the table on the next page that shows the categorization of our real estate joint ventures under the consolidation framework.
(2)In addition to the real estate joint ventures listed, we have one consolidated real estate joint venture in the Greater Boston market in which a partner holds a $49.6 million
redeemable noncontrolling interest earning a fixed return as of December 31, 2025.
(3)Includes 1450, 1500, and 1700 Owens Street and 455 Mission Bay Boulevard South.
(4)Includes 10210, 10260, 10290, and 10300 Campus Point Drive and 4110, 4135, 4155, 4161, 4165, 4224, and 4242 Campus Point Court.
(5)The noncontrolling interest share of our joint venture partner is anticipated to decrease to 25%, as we expect to fund the majority of future construction costs at the
campus until our ownership interest increases to 75%, after which future capital would be contributed pro rata with our partner.
(6)Includes 9605, 9645, 9675, 9725, 9735, 9805, 9808, 9855, and 9868 Scranton Road and 10055, 10065, and 10075 Barnes Canyon Road.
(7)Includes 9965, 9975, 9985, and 9995 Summers Ridge Road.
(8)In addition to the real estate joint ventures listed, we hold an interest in two insignificant unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. 
(9)Represents a joint venture with a local real estate operator in which our joint venture partner manages the day-to-day activities that significantly affect the economic
performance of the joint venture.
Our consolidation policy is described under “Consolidation” in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our
consolidated financial statements. Consolidation accounting is highly technical, but its framework is primarily based on the controlling
financial interests and benefits of the joint ventures. We generally consolidate a joint venture that is a legal entity that we control (i.e.,
we have the power to direct the activities of the joint venture that most significantly affect its economic performance) through contractual
rights, regardless of our ownership interest, and where we determine that we have benefits through the allocation of earnings or losses
and fees paid to us that could be significant to the joint venture (the “VIE model”).
We also generally consolidate joint ventures when we have a controlling financial interest through voting rights and where our
voting interest is greater than 50% (the “voting model”). Voting interest differs from ownership interest for some joint ventures. We
account for joint ventures that do not meet the consolidation criteria under the equity method of accounting by recognizing our share of
income and losses.

two insignificant unconsolidated real estate joint ventures.
Consolidated real estate joint ventures
99 Coolidge Avenue
In July 2025, we amended the agreement for our consolidated real estate joint venture at 99 Coolidge Avenue in our
Cambridge/Inner Suburbs submarket, pursuant to which the carrying amount of our partner’s noncontrolling interest was adjusted from
$42.0 million to $48.7 million. We continued to control and consolidate the joint venture. Accordingly, we accounted for the $6.7 million
adjustment as an equity transaction and recognized it in additional paid-in capital.
Pursuant to the amended agreement, our partner’s noncontrolling interest was converted into a $48.7 million redeemable
noncontrolling interest that accrues a fixed 4.05% annual preferred return (“distributions”) and no longer participates in the joint
venture’s earnings or distributions in excess of preferred return.
As of December 31, 2025, the contractual preferred interest amount of $48.7 million and accrued distribution of
$844 thousand were classified as redeemable noncontrolling interests within temporary equity in our consolidated balance sheet and
consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. The amended agreement provides our partner with the option to require us to purchase
its preferred interest for $48.7 million, plus any unpaid distributions. This option was exercised in January 2026, and we expect to
complete the redemption in the first quarter of 2026.
Pacific Technology Park and 199 East Blaine Street
Prior to September 2025, we had two consolidated real estate joint ventures with one partner through its affiliates: (i) a joint
venture that owned Pacific Technology Park, a non-Megacampus of five non-laboratory properties aggregating 544,352 RSF in our
Sorrento Mesa submarket, in which we had a 50% ownership interest and our partner held the remaining 50% ownership interest, and
(ii) a joint venture that owned a laboratory building at 199 East Blaine Street, aggregating 115,084 RSF on the Alexandria Center® for
Life Science – Eastlake Megacampus in our Lake Union submarket, in which we had a 30% ownership interest and our partner held the
remaining 70% ownership interest.
In September 2025, we completed the following transaction with our partner through its affiliates:
(i)We sold our 50% controlling interest in the consolidated joint venture that owned Pacific Technology Park for a sales price
of $96.0 million. In connection with this disposition, we derecognized our partner’s noncontrolling interest of $82.4 million
and recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $9.3 million in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2025; and
(ii)We acquired our partner’s 70% noncontrolling interest at 199 East Blaine Street for a purchase price of $94.4 million. We
accounted for this acquisition as an equity transaction, with the $66.3 million excess of the purchase price over the
$30.3 million book value of the noncontrolling interest acquired less costs to sell, recognized in additional paid-in capital
and no gain or loss recognized in earnings.
As a result of this transaction, we received proceeds of $1.6 million. As of December 31, 2025, we own 100% of 199 East
Blaine Street and no longer have an ownership interest in Pacific Technology Park.
409 and 499 Illinois Street
In December 2025, our consolidated joint venture that owned properties at 409 and 499 Illinois Street in our Mission Bay
submarket of San Francisco Bay market, sold these properties, aggregating 466,297 RSF, to the existing tenant following its exercise of
a purchase right included in its lease agreement. We had a 25.0% ownership interest in this joint venture. The properties were sold for a
sales price of $721.1 million, of which our share is $180.3 million. We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $416.7 million
(including our $103.9 million share) in our consolidated statement of operations for the year end December 31, 2025. As of December
31, 2025, we no longer have an ownership interest in this joint venture.
601, 611, 651, 681, 685, 701, 705, and 751 Gateway Boulevard
We held a 50% ownership interest in 601, 611, 651, 681, 685, and 701 Gateway Boulevard consolidated joint venture and a
51% interest in 751 Gateway Boulevard consolidated joint venture, aggregating 1.6 million RSF, located in our South San Francisco
submarket of San Francisco Bay market.
On December 30, 2025, we completed the sales of our interests in these joint ventures for $283.2 million (representing our
share) with no gain or loss recognized. As of December 31, 2025, we no longer have ownership interests in these consolidated real
estate joint ventures. Refer to Note 3 – “Sales of real estate assets and impairment of real estate for information about real estate
impairments recognized in connection with this disposition.
285, 299, 307, and 345 Dorchester Avenue
Prior to December 2025, we held a 60.0% ownership interest in a consolidated joint venture that owned land parcels at 285,
299, 307, and 345 Dorchester Avenue, aggregating 1.0 million SF, located in our Seaport Innovation District submarket of Greater
Boston market.
In December 2025, we sold our 60.0% ownership interest in the consolidated joint venture to our partner for a sales price of
$33.5 million. As of December 31, 2025, we no longer have an ownership interest in this real estate joint venture. Refer to Note 3 –
Sales of real estate assets and impairment of real estate for information about real estate impairments recognized in connection with
this disposition.
Consolidated VIEs’ balance sheet information
We, together with joint venture partners, hold interests in real estate joint ventures that we consolidate in our financial
statements. These existing joint ventures provide significant equity capital to fund a portion of our future construction spending, and our
joint venture partners may also contribute equity into these entities for financing-related activities.
The table below aggregates the balance sheet information of our consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in

(1)The decrease in this balance as of December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, is primarily due to the sale of our interests and the acquisition of noncontrolling
interests in various consolidated joint ventures during 2025, as discussed in the “Consolidated real estate joint ventures” section above within this Note 4 – Consolidated
and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures.
In determining whether to aggregate the balance sheet information of consolidated VIEs, we considered the similarity of each
VIE, including the primary purpose of these entities to own, manage, operate, and lease real estate properties owned by the VIEs, and
the similar nature of our involvement in each VIE as a managing member. Due to the similarity of the characteristics, we present the
balance sheet information of these entities on an aggregated basis. None of our consolidated VIEs’ assets have restrictions that limit
their use to settle specific obligations of the VIE. Other than a put option described in “99 Coolidge Avenue” above, there are no
creditors or other partners of our consolidated VIEs that have recourse to our general credit, and our maximum exposure to our
consolidated VIEs is limited to our variable interests in each VIE.
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate joint ventures
Noncontrolling interests represent the third-party interests in consolidated real estate joint ventures in which we have a
controlling interest. Noncontrolling interests are adjusted for additional contributions and distributions, the proportionate share of the net
earnings or losses, and other comprehensive income or loss. Distributions, profits, and losses related to these entities are allocated in
accordance with the respective operating agreements. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we distributed
$951.8 million and $256.7 million, respectively, to our consolidated real estate joint venture partners.
Unconsolidated real estate joint ventures
Our investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, accounted for under the equity method and classified in
investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in our consolidated balance sheets, consisted of the following as of
December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

(1)The decrease is primarily due to an impairment charge of $11.7 million recognized in December 2025 to write off the carrying amount of our investment in our 
unconsolidated real estate joint venture at 1450 Research Boulevard, which owns a property aggregating 42,012 RSF located in our Maryland market, upon our
determination that the impairment was other than temporary.
Our maximum exposure to our unconsolidated VIEs is limited to our investment in each VIE, except for our 101 West Dickman
Street unconsolidated real estate joint venture in which we guarantee up to $6.7 million of the outstanding balance related to the VIE’s
secured construction loan.

venture partners, including our share of $10.8 million.
