The Partnership has between a 40%-50% ownership interests in each investment. The other investors are the Brown Family related entities and five current and former employees of the Management Company. The Brown Family’s ownership interest was between 47.6% and 59%, with the balance owned by the others. A description of each investment is as follows:

On October 28, 2009 the Partnership invested approximately $15,925,000 in a joint venture to acquire a 40% interest in a residential property located in Brookline, Massachusetts. The property, Hamilton Park Towers LLC, referred to as Dexter Park, or Hamilton Park, is a 409 unit residential complex. The purchase price was $129,500,000. The original mortgage was $89,914,000 with an interest rate of 5.57% and was to mature in 2019. The mortgage called for interest only payments for the first two years of the loan and amortized over 30 years thereafter.

On May 31, 2018, Hamilton Park Towers, LLC, entered into a Mortgage Note with John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) in the principal amount of $125,000,000. Interest only payments on the Note are payable on a monthly basis at a fixed interest rate of 3.99% per annum, and the principal amount of the Note is due and payable on June 1, 2028. The Note is secured by a mortgage on the Dexter Park apartment complex located at 175 Freeman Street, Brookline, Massachusetts pursuant to a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement dated May 31, 2018. The Note is guaranteed by the Partnership and HBC Holdings, LLC pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated May 31, 2018.

Hamilton Park used the proceeds of the loan to pay off an outstanding loan of approximately $82,000,000 and distributed approximately $41,200,000 to its owners. The Partnership’s share of the distribution was approximately $16,500,000. As a result of the distribution, the carrying value of the investment fell below zero. The Partnership will continue to account for the investment using the equity method of accounting, although the Partnership has no legal obligation to fund its’ share of any future operating deficiencies as needed.

On July 8, 2016, Hamilton 1025 LLC paid off the outstanding balance of the mortgage balance.

This mortgage is currently in the process of a refinancing which is to be completed prior to the maturity date of the loan.

On August 23, 2023, Hamilton on Main Apartments, LLC (the “Borrower”), a 50% owned joint venture of the Partnership, received notice from KeyBank, as servicer for the lender of a $16,900,000 loan, indicating that the Borrower failed to comply with certain terms of the loan documents pertaining to the transfer of interests in the Borrower that occurred on the occasion of Harold Brown’s death, and that such transfer constitutes an event of default under the loan documents. While the Borrower has disputed that any events of default actually exist, it worked diligently with KeyBank to obtain KeyBank’s consent to the transfer. On March 8, 2024, the Borrower received notice from KeyBank that it was providing ex-post facto consent to the transfer of interest subject to certain conditions being met by the Borrower. The Partnership’s share of costs associated with the transfer of interests in the Borrower was approximately $107,000. On April 18, 2024 the Borrower and KeyBank executed amended loan documents reflecting the transfer of interest in the Borrower. In conjunction with the execution of the amended loan documents, KeyBank provided a courtesy reduction equal to 50% of the transfer fee.

After the refinancing, the Joint Venture made a distribution of $1,610,000 to the Partnership. As a result of the distribution, the carrying value of the investment fell below zero. The Partnership will continue to account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. Although the Partnership has no legal obligation, the Partnership

intends to fund its share of any future operating deficits if needed. At June 30, 2024, the balance of this mortgage before unamortized deferred financing costs is approximately $8,364,000. This investment is referred to as 345 Franklin, LLC.
