In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused, and continues to cause, severe disruptions in the global economy, including that of the United States. The circumstances surrounding COVID-19 continue to evolve at a rapid pace in the United States. Specifically, New York and San Francisco, the markets in which we operate and where a majority of our assets are located, have reacted by instituting quarantines, “pause” orders, “shelter-in-place” rules, restrictions on travel, and restrictions on the types of business that can operate. While our buildings have and continue to remain open and are operating responsibly, we have received letters from several tenants requesting “short-term” rent relief. We are in the process of evaluating tenant requests on a case-by-case basis. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes us at this time from making any predictions as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 may have on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
