CENTERSPACE AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

March 31, 2025

NOTE 1 • ORGANIZATION 

Centerspace, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Centerspace,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a North Dakota real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, management, acquisition, redevelopment, and development of apartment communities. As of March 31, 2025, Centerspace owned interests in 71 apartment communities consisting of 13,012 apartment homes.

NOTE 2 • BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Centerspace conducts a majority of its business activities through a consolidated operating partnership, Centerspace, LP, a North Dakota limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as well as through a number of other consolidated subsidiary entities. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of all its subsidiaries in which it maintains a controlling interest, including the Operating Partnership. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also reflect the Operating Partnership’s ownership of a joint venture entity in which the Operating Partnership has a general partner or controlling interest. This entity is consolidated into the Company’s operations, with noncontrolling interests reflecting the noncontrolling partners’ share of ownership, income, and expenses.

UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Centerspace’s unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, have been included.

The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain previously reported amounts within net cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income (loss) as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, total assets, liabilities or equity as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the classifications within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following table provides a brief description of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) recent accounting standards updates (“ASU”).

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses; ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Clarifying the Effective Date	This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring public companies disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. In 2025, an additional ASU was issued to provide clarification on the effective date of the original ASU.	This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.	The ASU will require additional disclosure but is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and deposits in money market mutual funds. The Company is potentially exposed to credit risk for cash deposited with FDIC-insured financial institutions in accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Although past bank failures have increased the risk of loss in such accounts, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, restricted cash consisted of $6.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for real estate deposits and escrows held by lenders. Escrows include funds deposited with a lender for payment of real estate taxes and insurance and reserves to be used for replacement of structural elements and mechanical equipment at certain communities. The funds are under the control of the lender. Disbursements are made after supplying written documentation to the lender.

LEASES

As a lessor, Centerspace primarily leases multifamily apartment homes which qualify as operating leases with terms that are generally one year or less. Rental revenues are recognized in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, using a method that represents a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, rental income represents approximately 98.4% and 98.2% of total revenues, respectively, and includes gross market rent less adjustments for gain or loss to lease, concessions, vacancy loss, and bad debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, other property revenues represent the remaining 1.6% and 1.8% of total revenues, respectively, and are primarily driven by other fee income, which is typically recognized when earned, at a point in time.

Some of the Company’s apartment communities have commercial spaces available for lease. Lease terms for these spaces typically range from three to fifteen years. The leases for commercial spaces generally include options to extend the lease for additional terms.

Many of the leases contain non-lease components for utility reimbursement from residents and common area maintenance from commercial tenants. Centerspace has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components. The combined components are included in lease income and are accounted for under ASC 842.

The aggregate amount of future scheduled lease income on commercial operating leases, excluding any variable lease income and non-lease components, as of March 31, 2025, was as follows:

	(in thousands)
2025 (remainder)	$	2,036
2026	2,651
2027	2,378
2028	2,012
2029	1,688
Thereafter	6,073
Total scheduled lease income - operating leases	$	16,838

REVENUES AND GAINS OR LOSSES ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE

Revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled for those goods and services.

Revenue streams that are included in revenues from contracts with customers include other property revenues such as application fees and other miscellaneous items. Centerspace recognizes revenue for these rental related items not included as a component of a lease as earned.

The following table presents the disaggregation of revenue streams for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

		(in thousands)
		Three Months Ended March 31,
Revenue Stream	Applicable Standard	2025		2024
Fixed lease income - operating leases	Leases	$	62,197	$	60,034
Variable lease income - operating leases	Leases	3,831		3,287
Other property revenue	Revenue from contracts with customers	1,065		1,185
Total revenue		$	67,093	$	64,506

In addition to lease income and other property revenue, the Company recognizes gains or losses on the sale of real estate and other investments when the criteria for derecognition of an asset are met, including when (1) a contract exists and (2) the buyer obtained control of the nonfinancial asset that was sold. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not recognize a gain or loss on the sale of real estate and other investments, compared to a loss of $577,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Any gain or loss on real estate dispositions is net of certain closing and other costs associated with the disposition.

IN-PLACE LEASE AMORTIZATION

The Company records in-place lease assets at the time of acquisition. The amortization periods reflects the average remaining term of in-place leases acquired, which are generally less than one year for multifamily apartment homes. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to intangibles, included within depreciation and amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

MARKET CONCENTRATION RISK

The Company is subject to increased exposure from economic and other competitive factors specific to markets where it holds a significant percentage of the carrying value of its real estate portfolio. As of March 31, 2025, Centerspace held more than 10% of the carrying value of its real estate portfolio in the Minneapolis, Minnesota and Denver, Colorado markets.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including real estate investments, for impairment indicators at least quarterly. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions, expected holding period of each property, and legal and environmental concerns. If indicators exist, the Company compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for the property against the carrying amount of that property. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is generally recorded for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount. If the anticipated holding period for properties, the estimated fair value of properties, or other factors change based on market conditions or otherwise, the evaluation of impairment charges may be different and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of estimated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future physical occupancy, rental rates, and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Plans to hold properties over longer periods decrease the likelihood of recording impairment losses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not record a loss for impairment on real estate.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Centerspace has determined that its Operating Partnership and each of its less-than-wholly owned real estate partnerships are variable interest entities (each, a “VIE”), as the limited partners or the functional equivalent of limited partners lack substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, and the VIEs are required to be consolidated on the balance sheet because the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIEs and has

9

both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs as well as the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Because the Operating Partnership is a VIE, all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held through a VIE.

REAL ESTATE RELATED NOTES RECEIVABLE

In connection with the acquisition of The Lydian, an apartment community in Denver, Colorado, the Company has a tax increment financing note receivable (“TIF”) with an initial principal balance of $4.1 million. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the principal balance was $4.1 million, which appears within other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The note bears an interest rate of 6.0% with payments due periodically each year.

In connection with the acquisition of Ironwood, an apartment community in New Hope, Minnesota, the Company has a tax increment financing note receivable (“TIF”) with a principal balance of $5.1 million and $5.2 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which appears within other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The note bears an interest rate of 4.5% with payments due in February and August of each year. The note matures February 1, 2039, and may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time.

In 2023, the Company originated a $15.1 million mezzanine loan for the development of an apartment community located in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. The mezzanine loan bears interest at 10.0% per annum which accrues interest that is added to the principal balance and is payable at maturity. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had funded $15.1 million of the mezzanine loan. The loan matures in December 2027 unless extended to December 2028 in accordance with the terms of the mezzanine loan agreement. The loan is secured by a pledge of and first priority security interest against 100% of the membership interests in the mezzanine borrower and the agreement provides the Company with an option to purchase the development at a discount to future appraised value. The loan represents an investment in an unconsolidated variable interest entity. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE as Centerspace does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance nor does Centerspace have significant influence over the entity. The note receivable appears within other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the property operating expenses, excluding real estate taxes line item. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, total advertising expense was $623,000 and $738,000, respectively.

INVOLUNTARY CONVERSION OF ASSETS

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Centerspace recorded $512,000 in casualty losses resulting from two new insurance events and updated loss estimates on two previously reported events. Any business interruption insurance proceeds will be recognized when received in accordance with ASC 610-30.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Centerspace recognized $618,000 in casualty loss resulting from updated loss estimates from four separate insurance events at apartment communities. Any business interruption insurance proceeds will be recognized when received in accordance with ASC 610-30.

In April 2023, a portion of an apartment community was destroyed by fire. The Company recorded a write-down of the apartment community asset, in accordance with ASC 610-30 on involuntary conversion of non-monetary assets, totaling $1.3 million with an offsetting insurance receivable recorded within other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the claim was settled for $1.6 million, including remediation and other operating expenses.

NOTE 3 • NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) outstanding during the period. Centerspace has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under its 2015 Incentive Plan, Series D Convertible Preferred Units (“Series D preferred units”), and Series E Convertible Preferred Units (“Series E preferred units”), which could have a dilutive effect on net income (loss) per share upon vesting of the RSUs, upon exercising of ISOs, or upon conversion of the Series D or Series E preferred units (refer to Note 4 for further discussion of the Series D and the Series E preferred units). The Company calculates diluted net income (loss) per share using the treasury stock method for RSUs and ISOs and the if converted method for Series D preferred units and Series E preferred units. Other than the issuance of RSUs, ISOs, Series D preferred units, and Series E preferred units, there are no outstanding options, warrants, convertible stock, or other contractual obligations requiring issuance of additional common shares that would result in a dilution of net income (loss). Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership, limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem their limited partnership units (“Units”) any time following the first anniversary of the date they acquired such Units (“Exchange Right”). Upon the exercise of Exchange Rights, and in Centerspace’s sole discretion, it may issue common shares in exchange for Units on a one-for-one basis.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic and diluted net income (loss) per share reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, dividends to preferred unitholders and the impact of Units and Series E preferred units are excluded from the calculation of net income (loss) per common share - diluted as they were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating partnership units of 980,000, Series D preferred units of 228,000, as converted, Series E preferred units of 1.9 million, as converted, time-based RSUs and options of 35,000, and performance-based RSUs of 43,000 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because they were anti-dilutive as including these items would have improved net loss per share.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, operating partnership units of 854,000, Series D preferred units of 228,000, as converted, Series E preferred units of 2.1 million, as converted, time-based RSUs of 20,000, and performance-based RSUs of 41,000 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because they were anti-dilutive as including these items would have improved net loss per share.

NOTE 4 • MEZZANINE EQUITY AND EQUITY

Series D Preferred Units (Mezzanine Equity). Series D preferred units outstanding were 165,600 preferred units at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Series D preferred units have a par value of $100 per preferred unit. The Series D preferred unit holders receive a preferred distribution at the rate of 3.862% per year and have a put option which allows the holder to redeem any or all of the Series D preferred units for cash equal to the issuance price. Each Series D preferred unit is convertible, at the holder’s option, into 1.37931 Units. The Series D preferred units have an aggregate liquidation value of $16.6 million. Changes in the redemption value are based on changes in the trading value of common shares and are charged to common shares on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets each quarter. The holders of the Series D preferred units do not have voting rights. Distributions to Series D unitholders are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity within net income (loss) attributable to controlling interests and noncontrolling interests.

Series C Preferred Shares. On August 30, 2024, we delivered notice to holders of the Series C preferred shares that we intended to redeem all 3.9 million Series C preferred shares at a redemption price equal to $25 per share plus any accrued but unpaid distributions per share up to and including the redemption date of September 30, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the Company completed the redemption of all the outstanding Series C preferred shares for an aggregate redemption price of $97.0 million, excluding distributions, which was $3.5 million in excess of the carrying value. Such shares were no longer outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Series C preferred shares were nonvoting and redeemable for cash at $25 per share at Centerspace’s option. Holders of these shares were entitled to cumulative distributions, payable quarterly (as and if declared by the Board of Trustees). Distributions accrued at an annual rate of $1.65625 per share, which is equal to 6.625% of the $25 per share liquidation preference, quarterly until September 30, 2024.

Operating Partnership Units. The Operating Partnership had 972,000 and 980,000 outstanding Units at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Exchange Rights. Centerspace redeemed Units in exchange for common shares in connection with Unitholders exercising their exchange rights during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 as detailed in the table below.

Series E Preferred Units (Noncontrolling Interests). Centerspace had 1.6 million Series E preferred units outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Each Series E preferred unit has a par value of $100. The Series E preferred unit holders receive a preferred distribution at the rate of 3.875% per year. Each Series E preferred unit is convertible, at the holder’s option, into 1.20482 Units. Centerspace has the option, at its sole election, to convert Series E preferred units into Units if its stock has traded at or above $83 per share for 15 of 30 consecutive trading days and it has made at least three consecutive quarters of distributions with a rate of at least $0.804 per Unit. The Series E preferred units have an aggregate liquidation preference of $158.2 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The holders of the Series E preferred units do not have voting rights.

The Company redeemed Series E preferred units in exchange for common shares in connection with Series E unitholders exercising their exchange rights during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 as detailed below.

Common Shares and Equity Awards. Common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, totaled 16.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Centerspace issued 7,818 and 3,742 common shares, respectively, with a total grant-date fair value of $786,000 and $445,000, respectively, as share-based compensation for employees and trustees under its 2015 Incentive Plan. These shares vested based on performance and service criteria. Refer to Note 11 for additional details on share-based compensation.

Equity Distribution Agreement. On September 9, 2024, Centerspace amended its equity distribution agreement in connection with the at-the-market offering (“ATM Program”) through which it may offer and sell common shares in amounts and at times determined by management. The amendment increased the maximum aggregate offering price of common shares available for offer and sale thereunder from $250.0 million to $500.0 million. Under the ATM Program, the Company may enter into separate forward sale agreements. The proceeds from the sale of common shares under the ATM Program may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions, construction or mezzanine loans, community renovations, and the repayment of indebtedness. There were no sales of common shares under the ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. As of March 31, 2025, common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $262.9 million remained available under the ATM Program.

Share Repurchase Program. The Company had a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), providing for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $50 million of the Company’s outstanding common shares. This program expired on March 10, 2025. Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company was authorized to repurchase common shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block trades or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

(4)Interest rate is fixed.

As of March 31, 2025, 45 apartment communities were not encumbered by mortgages and were available to provide credit support for the unsecured borrowings. The Company’s primary unsecured credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility” or “Facility”) is a revolving, multi-bank line of credit, with Bank of Montreal serving as administrative agent. The line of credit has total commitments and borrowing capacity of up to $250.0 million, based on the value of unencumbered properties. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $204.0 million beyond the $46.0 million drawn under the Facility, priced at an interest rate of 5.71%. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $206.0 million beyond the $44.0 million drawn under the Facility, priced at an interest rate of 5.81%. On July 26, 2024, the Unsecured Credit Facility was amended to extend maturity and to modify the leverage-based margin ratios applicable to borrowings. As amended, this Facility matures in July 2028, with an option to extend maturity for up to two additional six-month periods and has an accordion option to increase borrowing capacity up to $400.0 million.

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the benchmark alternative reference rate under the Facility. As amended, the interest rates on the line of credit are based on the consolidated leverage ratio, at the Company’s option, on either the lender’s base rate plus a margin, ranging from 20-80 basis points, or daily or term SOFR, plus a margin that ranges from 120-180 basis points with the consolidated leverage ratio described under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended. The Unsecured Credit Facility and unsecured senior notes are subject to customary financial covenants and limitations. The Company believes that it was in compliance with all such financial covenants and limitations as of March 31, 2025.

In September 2024, Centerspace entered into an operating line of credit agreement with US Bank, N.A. which has a borrowing capacity of up to $10.0 million and pricing based on SOFR. This operating line of credit terminates in September 2025 and is designed to enhance treasury management activities and more effectively manage cash balances. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $2.7 million and $3.4 million outstanding on this line of credit, respectively.

13

Centerspace had a private shelf agreement with PGIM, Inc., an affiliate of Prudential Financial, Inc., and certain affiliates of PGIM, Inc. (collectively, “PGIM”) under which the Company issued $175.0 million in unsecured senior promissory notes (“Unsecured Shelf Notes”). On October 28, 2024, the shelf agreement was amended to extend the period of time during which the Company may borrow money to October 2027 and to increase the borrowing capacity to $300.0 million. The Company also has a separate private note purchase agreement with PGIM and certain other lenders for the issuance of $125.0 million of senior unsecured promissory notes (“Unsecured Club Notes”, and, collectively with the Unsecured Shelf Notes, the “unsecured senior notes”), of which all $125.0 million was issued in September 2021. The following table shows the notes issued under both agreements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Series 2021-D	$	15,000	September 17, 2034	2.78	%

Centerspace has a $198.9 million Fannie Mae Credit Facility Agreement (“FMCF”). The FMCF is secured by mortgages on 11 apartment communities. The notes are interest-only, with varying maturity dates of 7, 10, and 12 years, and a blended, weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.78%. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the FMCF had a balance of $198.9 million. The FMCF is included within mortgages payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2025, Centerspace owned 15 apartment communities that served as collateral for mortgage loans, in addition to the apartment communities secured by the FMCF. All of these mortgage loans were non-recourse to the Company other than for standard carve-out obligations. As of March 31, 2025, the Company believes that there were no material defaults or instances of material noncompliance in regard to any of these mortgage loans. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the mortgage loans had a balance of $418.5 million and $420.4 million, respectively, excluding unamortized premiums and discounts. The mortgage loans are included within mortgages payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 6 • DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Centerspace had, in the past, used interest rate derivatives to stabilize interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily used interest rate swap contracts to fix variable interest rate debt.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualified as cash flow hedges were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to interest expense in the periods in which interest payments are incurred on variable rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates an additional $232,000 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company had no remaining interest rate swaps.

NOTE 7 • FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. For variable rate line of credit debt that re-prices frequently, fair values are based on carrying values.

In determining the fair value of other financial instruments, Centerspace applies FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures.” Fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (Levels 1 and 2) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant data (Level 3). Fair value estimates may differ from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of the assets and liabilities.

Centerspace utilizes an income approach with Level 3 inputs based on expected future cash flows to value the notes receivable. The unobservable inputs include market transactions for similar instruments, management estimates of comparable interest rates (range of 5.00% to 9.00%), and instrument specific credit risk (range of 0.5% to 1.0%). Changes in the fair value of these receivables from period to period are reported in interest and other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Centerspace had investments totaling $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in real estate technology venture funds consisting of privately held entities that develop technology related to the real estate industry. These investments appear within other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investments are measured at net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient under ASC 820. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had unfunded commitments of $850,000.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

There were no non-financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The fair value of unsecured senior notes and mortgages payable is estimated based on the discounted cash flows of the loans using market research and management estimates of comparable interest rates, excluding any prepayment penalties (Level 3).

NOTE 9 • SEGMENTS 

Centerspace operates in a single reportable segment which includes the ownership, management, development, redevelopment, and acquisition of apartment communities. Each of the operating properties is considered a separate operating segment because each property earns revenues, incurs expenses, and has discrete financial information.

16

The chief executive officer and chief financial officer are the chief operating decision-makers (“CODM”). The CODMs evaluate each property’s operating results, using net operating income (“NOI”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess property performance, and do not group the properties based on geography, size, or type for this purpose. The Company defines NOI as total real estate revenues less property operating expenses, including real estate taxes. Centerspace believes that NOI is an important measure of operating performance for real estate because it provides a measure of operations that excludes gain (loss) on the sale of real estate and other assets, impairment, depreciation, amortization, financing, including interest income and interest expense, property management expenses, loss on litigation settlement, casualty losses, and general and administrative expense.

The apartment communities have similar long-term economic characteristics and similar operating characteristics, such as type and length of lease, services offered to residents, and property management practices. No apartment community comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues, profits, or assets. Accordingly, the apartment communities are aggregated into a single reportable segment, Multifamily. “All other” is composed of non-multifamily properties, non-multifamily components of mixed-use properties and apartment communities the Company has disposed or designated as held for sale, which did not meet the aggregation criteria.

The following tables present NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, along with reconciliations to net income (loss) as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment assets are also reconciled to total assets as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 10 • COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation.  Centerspace is involved in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of business and believes that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

18

Environmental Matters.  Under various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal of, or remediation of, certain hazardous or toxic substances in, on, around, or under the property. While the Company currently has no knowledge of any material violation of environmental laws, ordinances, or regulations at any of the properties, there can be no assurance that areas of contamination will not be identified at any of its properties or that changes in environmental laws, regulations, or cleanup requirements would not result in material costs.

Limitations on Taxable Dispositions.  Twenty-eight properties, consisting of approximately 5,162 apartment homes, are subject to limitations on taxable dispositions under agreements entered into with certain sellers or contributors of the properties and are effective for varying periods. Centerspace does not believe that the agreements materially affect the conduct of its business or its decisions whether to dispose of these properties during the limitation period because it generally holds these and other properties for investment purposes rather than for sale. In addition, where the Company deems it to be in the shareholders’ best interests to dispose of such properties, it generally seeks to structure sales of such properties as tax-deferred transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Otherwise, the Company may be required to provide tax indemnification payments to the parties to these agreements.

Unfunded Commitments. As of March 31, 2025, Centerspace had unfunded commitments of $850,000 in two real estate technology venture funds. Refer to Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding these investments.

NOTE 11 • SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based awards are provided to officers, non-officer employees, and trustees under the 2015 Incentive Plan approved by shareholders on September 15, 2015, as amended and restated on May 18, 2021 (the “2015 Incentive Plan”), which allows for awards in the form of cash, unrestricted and restricted common shares, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and RSUs up to an aggregate of 775,000 shares over the ten-year period in which the plan is in effect. Under the 2015 Incentive Plan, officers and non-officer employees may earn share awards under a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which is a forward-looking program that measures long-term performance over the stated performance period. These awards are payable to the extent deemed earned in shares. The terms of the long-term incentive awards granted under the revised program may vary from year to year. Through March 31, 2025, awards under the 2015 Incentive Plan consisted of restricted and unrestricted common shares, RSUs, and stock options. The Company accounts for forfeitures of restricted and unrestricted common shares, RSUs, and stock options when they occur instead of estimating the forfeitures.

2025 LTIP Awards

Awards granted to employees on January 1, 2025, consisted of an aggregate of 25,121 time-based RSU awards and 11,870 performance RSUs based on total shareholder return (“TSR”). The time-based RSUs vest as to one-third of the shares on each of January 1, 2026, January 1, 2027, and January 1, 2028.

The performance RSUs are earned based on the Company’s TSR as compared to the FTSE Nareit Equity Index over a forward looking three-year period. The maximum number of performance RSUs eligible to be earned is 23,740 RSUs, which is 200% of the performance RSUs granted. Earned awards (if any) will fully vest as of the last day of the measurement period. These awards have market conditions in addition to service conditions that must be met for the awards to vest. Compensation expense is recognized ratably based on the grant date fair value, as determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model, regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and the awards ultimately vest. Therefore, previously recorded compensation expense is not adjusted in the event that the market conditions are not achieved. The Company based the expected volatility on a weighted average of the historical volatility of the Company’s daily closing share price, the risk-free interest rate on U.S. treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the remaining performance period of the award, and the expected term on the performance period of the award. The assumptions used to value the TSR performance RSUs were an expected volatility of 27.30%, a risk-free interest rate of 4.27%, and an expected life of 3 years. The share price at the grant date, January 1, 2025, was $66.15 per share.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Total share-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all outstanding share-based awards was $858,000 and $749,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Executive Summary

We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, manages, acquires, redevelops, and develops apartment communities. We primarily focus on investing in markets characterized by stable and growing economies, strong employment, and an attractive quality of life that we believe, in combination, lead to higher demand for apartment homes and retention of our residents. As of March 31, 2025, we owned interests in 71 apartment communities consisting of 13,012 apartment homes. Property owned, as presented in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at historical cost, was $2.5 billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Renting apartment homes is our primary source of revenue, and our business objective is to provide great homes. We strive to maximize resident satisfaction and retention by investing in high-quality assets in desirable locations and creating vibrant apartment communities through resident-centered operations. We believe that delivering superior resident experiences will enhance resident satisfaction while also driving profitability for our business and shareholders. We have paid quarterly distributions continuously since our first distribution in 1971.

Overview of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

•For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue increased by $2.6 million or 4.0% to $67.1 million, compared to $64.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to increased revenue from same-store and non-same-store communities, offset by decreased revenue from dispositions. 

•Same-store revenues increased by 3.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period of the prior year, driving a 2.1% increase in same-store NOI compared to the same period of the prior year.

•Net loss was $0.22 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net loss of $0.37 per diluted share for the same period of the prior year.

•Non-GAAP Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) per diluted share decreased 1.6% to $1.21 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.23 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. See the description of Core FFO on page 25 and the reconciliation of net loss available to common shareholders to FFO and Core FFO on page 26. This decrease was primarily due to a one-time property tax refund that occurred in the prior year that did not occur in the current year. The drivers of these changes are discussed in more detail in the “Results of Operations” section below.

Results of Operations

GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as total real estate revenues less property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and is reconciled to operating income below. We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate because it provides a measure of operations that is unaffected by sales of real estate and other investments, impairment, depreciation, amortization, financing costs, property management expenses, casualty gains (losses), loss on litigation settlement, and general and administrative expenses. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), net income (loss) available for common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.

We have provided certain information on a same-store and non-same-store basis. Same-store apartment communities are owned or stabilized for substantially all of the periods being compared and, in the case of newly-acquired or constructed communities, have achieved a target level of physical occupancy of 90%, or re-positioned communities when they have achieved stabilized operations. We define re-positioned communities as having significant development and construction activity on existing buildings pursuant to an authorized plan, which has an impact on current operating results, occupancy and the ability to lease space with the intended result of improved community cash flow and competitive position through extensive unit and amenity upgrades. We categorize a re-positioned community as same-store when the development and construction activity has been completed, and operations have stabilized. This is typically reaching an overall occupancy of 90%. Not all communities undergoing value add are considered a re-positioned community. Non-same-store communities are communities not owned or stabilized as of the beginning of the previous year, including re-positioned communities, and excluding communities held for sale and the non-multifamily components of mixed-use properties.

On the first day of each calendar year, we determine the composition of our same-store pool for that year as well as adjust the previous year, which allows us to evaluate the performance of existing apartment communities and their contribution to net income (loss). We believe that measuring performance on a same-store basis is useful to investors because it enables evaluation of how a fixed pool of communities are performing year-over-year. We use this measure to assess whether or not we have been successful in increasing NOI, raising average rental revenue, renewing the leases with existing residents, controlling operating costs, and making prudent capital improvements. The discussion below focuses on the main factors affecting real estate revenue and real estate expenses from same-store apartment communities because changes from one year to another in real estate revenue and expenses from non-same-store communities are generally due to the addition of those communities to our real estate portfolio, and accordingly provide less useful information for evaluating the ongoing operational performance of our real estate portfolio.

For the comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, two apartment communities and one apartment community, respectively, were non-same-store. Sold communities are included in “Dispositions,” for all periods presented, while “Other properties” includes non-multifamily properties and the non-multifamily components of mixed-use properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we disposed of two apartment communities, consisting of 205 apartment homes.

* Not a meaningful percentage.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
Weighted Average Occupancy(1)	2025		2024
Same-store	95.8	%	94.6	%
Non-same-store	88.9	%	94.2	%
Total	95.6	%	94.6	%

(1)Weighted average occupancy is defined as the percentage resulting from dividing actual rental revenue by scheduled rental revenue. Scheduled rental revenue represents the value of all apartment homes, with occupied homes valued at contractual rental rates pursuant to leases and vacant apartment homes valued at estimated market rents. When calculating actual rents for occupied apartment homes and market rents for vacant homes, delinquencies and concessions are not taken into account. Market rates are determined using the currently offered effective rates on new leases at the community and are used as the starting point in determination of the market rates of vacant apartment homes. Centerspace believes that weighted average occupancy is a meaningful measure of occupancy because it considers the value of each vacant unit at its estimated market rate. Weighted average occupancy may not completely reflect short-term trends in physical occupancy, and the calculation of weighted average occupancy may not be comparable to that disclosed by other REITs and other real estate companies.

Number of Apartment Homes	as of March 31, 2025	as of March 31, 2024

Non-same-store	417	288
Total	13,012	12,883

Same-store analysis.  Revenue from same-store communities increased 3.5%, or $2.2 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was attributable to 2.2% growth in average monthly revenue per occupied home for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and an increase of 1.2% in occupancy as weighted average occupancy increased from 94.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to 95.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, at same-store communities increased by 5.8% or $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. At same-store communities, controllable expenses (which exclude insurance and real estate taxes) increased by $316,000, primarily due to an increase in utilities, offset by decreases in repairs and maintenance and administrative and marketing expenses. Non-controllable expenses at same-store communities increased by $1.1 million, due to real estate taxes, including a refund resulting from a tax appeal in the first quarter of 2024 that did not occur in the first quarter of 2025. Same-store NOI increased by $781,000 to $38.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $38.1 million in the same period of the prior year.

Non-same-store analysis. Revenue from non-same-store communities increased by $744,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes at non-same-store communities increased by $450,000. NOI at non-same-store communities increased by $294,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenue, property operating expenses, and NOI from non-same-store communities is due to the addition of an apartment community during the fourth quarter of the prior year, offset by a $104,000 decrease in NOI from a community going through repositioning with lower occupancy resulting from full unit upgrades requiring relocation of residents.

Other properties and dispositions analysis. Revenue from other properties, which encompasses our commercial and mixed-use activity, increased by $211,000 while revenue from dispositions decreased by $529,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, at other properties increased by $158,000 while such expenses decreased by $326,000 for dispositions, compared to the same period in the prior year. NOI at other properties increased by $53,000 and NOI on dispositions decreased $203,000, compared to the same period in the prior year. We disposed of two apartment communities in the first quarter of 2024.

Property management expenses. Property management expense, consisting of property management overhead and property management fees paid to third parties, increased by 4.4% to $2.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation costs resulting from new positions and increased pay rates compared to the same period of the prior year.

Casualty loss. Casualty loss was $532,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $820,000 in the same period of the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to less claim activity in the current period compared to the same period of the prior year. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the report for more details.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by 2.4% to $27.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $27.0 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation on apartment communities driven by the addition of an apartment community in the fourth quarter of the prior year along with value add and acquisition capital projects, offset by a decrease in amortization of in-place leases and a decrease in depreciation from sold properties.

General and administrative expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased by $374,000 to $5.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4.6 million in the same period of the prior year. Compensation costs from higher share-based compensation and consulting fees increased in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period of the prior year.

Loss on sale of real estate and other investments. There was no gain or loss on the sale of real estate and other investments in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a loss of $577,000 in the same period of the prior year. Refer to Note 8 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Interest expense.  Interest expense increased by 4.6% to $9.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $9.2 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to higher mortgage interest and amortization of debt discount resulting from the assumption of a mortgage in connection with an acquisition in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

24

Interest and other income. Interest and other income increased to $708,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $340,000 in the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to interest income on a real estate related note receivable in the current period that was not fully funded by the end of first quarter of 2024.

Net loss available to common shareholders. Net loss available to common shareholders was $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $5.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations.

We believe that Funds from Operations (“FFO”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure used as a standard supplemental measure for equity real estate investment trusts, is helpful to investors in understanding operating performance, primarily because its calculation does not assume the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as implied by the historical cost convention of GAAP and the recording of depreciation and amortization.

We use the definition of FFO adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding:

•depreciation and amortization related to real estate;

•gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets;

•gains and losses from change in control;

•impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity; and

•similar adjustments for partially owned consolidated real estate entities.

The exclusion in Nareit’s definition of FFO of gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets and impairment write-downs helps to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the base of investments and assists management and investors in comparing those operating results between periods.

Due to limitations of the Nareit FFO definition, we have made certain interpretations in applying this definition. We believe that all such interpretations not specifically provided for in the Nareit definition are consistent with this definition. Nareit’s FFO White Paper 2018 Restatement clarified that impairment write-downs of land related to a REIT’s main business are excluded from FFO and a REIT has the option to exclude impairment write-downs of assets that are incidental to the main business.

While FFO is widely used by us as a primary performance metric, not all real estate companies use the same definition of FFO or calculate FFO the same way. Accordingly, FFO presented here is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other GAAP measurement of performance, but rather should be considered as an additional, supplemental measure. FFO also does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund all cash needs, including our ability to service indebtedness or make distributions to shareholders.

Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”), a non-GAAP measure, is FFO adjusted for non-routine items or items not considered core to business operations. By further adjusting for items that are not considered part of core business operations, we believe that Core FFO provides investors with additional information to compare core operating and financial performance between periods. Core FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or as any other GAAP measurement of performance, but rather should be considered an additional supplemental measure. Core FFO also does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund all cash flow needs, including the ability to service indebtedness or make distributions to shareholders. Core FFO is a non-GAAP and non-standardized financial measure that may be calculated differently by other REITs and that should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.

Net loss available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $3.7 million compared to net loss of $5.5 million for the same period of the prior year. FFO applicable to common shares and Units for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased to $23.2 million compared to $20.9 million for the comparable period of the prior year, representing an increase of 10.9%. This FFO increase was primarily due to dividends to preferred shareholders that occurred in the prior year that did not occur in the same period of the current year along with increased NOI from same-store communities and non-same-store communities, lower casualty loss activity, and an increase in interest in other income, offset by decreased NOI from dispositions and increased general and administrative expense and interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We strive to maintain a strong balance sheet and preserve financial flexibility, which we believe should enhance our ability to capitalize on appropriate investment opportunities as they may arise. We intend to continue to focus on core fundamentals, which include generating positive cash flows from operations, maintaining appropriate debt levels and leverage ratios, and controlling overhead costs.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flows generated from operations. Other sources include availability under our unsecured lines of credit, proceeds from property dispositions, including restricted cash related to net tax deferred proceeds, offerings of preferred and common shares under our shelf registration statement, including offerings of common shares under our ATM Program, and long-term unsecured debt and secured mortgages.

Our primary liquidity demands are normally-recurring operating and overhead expenses, debt service and repayments, capital improvements to our communities, distributions to the holders of our preferred shares, common shares, Series D and Series E preferred units, and Units, value-add redevelopment, common and preferred share buybacks and Unit redemptions, funding of mezzanine loans or real estate related notes, and acquisitions of additional communities.

Although we believe that our financial condition and liquidity are sufficient to meet our reasonably anticipated liquidity demands, factors that could increase or decrease our future liquidity include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates or sources of financing, general volatility in capital and credit markets, changes in minimum REIT dividend requirements, and our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms, or at all. As a result of the foregoing conditions or general economic conditions in our markets that affect our ability to attract and retain residents, we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations. If we are unable to obtain capital from other sources, we may not be able to pay the distribution required to maintain our status as a REIT, make required principal and interest payments, make strategic acquisitions or make necessary routine capital improvements or undertake value add renovation opportunities with respect to our existing portfolio of operating assets.

As of March 31, 2025, we had total liquidity of approximately $223.2 million, which included $211.3 million available on the lines of credit based on the value of unencumbered properties and $11.9 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2024, we had total liquidity of approximately $224.6 million, which included $212.6 million available on the lines of credit based on the value of unencumbered properties and $12.0 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Debt

As of March 31, 2025, we had a multibank, revolving line of credit with total commitments and borrowing capacity of $250.0 million, based on the value of unencumbered properties, (the “Unsecured Credit Facility” or “Facility”). As of March 31, 2025, there was $46.0 million outstanding on this line of credit and additional borrowing availability was $204.0 million. At December 31, 2024, the line of credit borrowing capacity was $250.0 million based on the value of unencumbered properties, of which $44.0 million was outstanding and additional borrowing availability was $206.0 million. The line of credit is utilized to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance property acquisitions, to finance capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. On July 26, 2024, the Unsecured Credit Facility was amended to extend maturity and to modify the leverage-based margin ratios applicable to borrowings. As amended, this Facility matures in July 2028, with an option to extend maturity for up to two additional six-month periods and has an accordion option to increase borrowing capacity up to $400.0 million.

As amended, the interest rates on the line of credit are based on the consolidated leverage ratio, at our option, on either the lender’s base rate plus a margin, ranging from 20-80 basis points, or the daily or term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus a margin that ranges from 120-180 basis points, with the consolidated leverage ratio described under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended.

In September 2024, we entered into an operating line of credit agreement with US Bank, N.A. which has a borrowing capacity of up to $10.0 million and pricing based on SOFR. This operating line of credit terminates in September 2025 and is designed to enhance treasury management activities and more effectively manage cash balances. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $2.7 million and $3.4 million outstanding on this line of credit, respectively.

We had a private shelf agreement with PGIM, Inc., an affiliate of Prudential Financial, Inc., and certain affiliates of PGIM, Inc. (collectively, “PGIM”) under which we have issued $175.0 million in unsecured senior promissory notes (“Unsecured Shelf Notes”). On October 28, 2024, the shelf agreement was amended to extend the period of time during which we may borrow money to October 2027 and to increase the borrowing capacity to $300.0 million. We also had a separate private note purchase agreement with PGIM and certain other lenders for the issuance of $125.0 million of senior unsecured promissory notes (“Unsecured Club Notes”, and collectively with the Unsecured Shelf Notes, the “unsecured senior notes”), of which all $125.0

27

million was issued in September 2021. The following table shows the notes issued under both agreements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

	(in thousands)
	Amount		Maturity Date	Fixed Interest Rate
Series A	$	75,000	September 13, 2029	3.84	%
Series B	$	50,000	September 30, 2028	3.69	%
Series C	$	50,000	June 6, 2030	2.70	%
Series 2021-A	$	35,000	September 17, 2030	2.50	%
Series 2021-B	$	50,000	September 17, 2031	2.62	%
Series 2021-C	$	25,000	September 17, 2032	2.68	%
Series 2021-D	$	15,000	September 17, 2034	2.78	%

We have a $198.9 million Fannie Mae Credit Facility Agreement (the “FMCF”). The FMCF is currently secured by mortgages on 11 apartment communities. The notes are interest-only, with varying maturity dates of 7, 10, and 12 years, and a blended, weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.78%. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the FMCF had a balance of $198.9 million. The FMCF is included within mortgages payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Mortgage loan indebtedness, excluding unamortized premiums and discounts and the FMCF, was $418.5 million and $420.4 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, on 15 apartment communities. All of our mortgage debt is collateralized by apartment communities and is non-recourse at fixed rates of interest, with staggered maturities. This reduces the exposure to changes in interest rates, which minimizes the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our results of operations and cash flows. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on mortgage debt was 4.02%. Further information can be found in Note 5 - Debt in the Condensed Consolidated notes.

Equity

We amended our equity distribution agreement in connection with the at the market offering (“ATM Program”) through which we may offer and sell common shares in amounts and at times determined by management. The amendment increased the maximum aggregate offering price of common shares available for offer and sale thereunder from $250.0 million to $500.0 million. Under the ATM Program, we may enter into separate forward sale agreements. The proceeds from the sale of common shares under the ATM Program may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions, construction or mezzanine loans, community renovations, and the repayment of indebtedness. There were no sales of common shares under the ATM program during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $262.9 million remained available under the ATM Program. Further information can be found in Note 4 - Mezzanine Equity and Equity in the Condensed Consolidated notes.

We had a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), providing for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $50.0 million of our outstanding common shares which expired on March 10, 2025. Under the Share Repurchase Program, we were authorized to repurchase common shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block trades or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The specific timing and amount of repurchases varied based on available capital resources or other financial and operational performance, market conditions, securities law limitations, and other factors. There were no common shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The table below provides details on the common shares repurchased under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

	(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Three Months Ended March 31,	Number of Common Shares	Aggregate Cost(1)		Average Price Per Share(1)
2024	88	$	4,703	$	53.62

(1)Amount includes commissions.

We had 1.6 million Series E preferred units outstanding on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Each Series E preferred unit has a par value of $100. The Series E preferred unit holders receive a preferred distribution at the rate of 3.875% per year. Each Series E preferred unit is convertible, at the holder’s option, into 1.20482 Units. The Series E preferred units have an aggregate liquidation preference of $158.2 million. The holders of the Series E preferred units do not have voting rights.

Changes in Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.9 million and restricted cash consisting of $6.1 million of real estate deposits and escrows held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, and capital additions. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.0 million and restricted cash consisting of $1.1 million of escrows held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, and capital additions.

The following discussion relates to changes in consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash which are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Part I, Item 1 above.

In addition to cash flows from operations, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated capital from various activities, including:

•Receiving $1.4 million in net draws on the lines of credit.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used capital for various activities, including:

•Funding capital improvements for apartment communities of approximately $5.0 million;

•Repaying $1.9 million of mortgage principal; and

•Paying distributions on common shares, Series E preferred units, and Units of $14.7 million.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

Contractual obligations and other commitments were disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and other commitments since that report was filed.

Inflation and Supply Chain

Our apartment leases generally have terms of one year or less, which means that, in an inflationary environment, we would have the ability, subject to market conditions, to increase rents upon the commencement of new leases or renewal of existing leases to manage the impact of inflation on our business. However, the cost to operate and maintain communities could increase at a rate greater than our ability to increase rents, which could adversely affect our results of operations. High inflation could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases.

We also continue to monitor pressures surrounding supply chain challenges. Supply chain and inflationary pressures are likely to result in increased operating expenses, specifically, increases in energy costs, labor related costs, and construction materials for repairs and maintenance or capital projects. A worsening of the current environment could contribute to delays in obtaining construction materials and result in higher than anticipated costs, which could prevent us from obtaining expected returns on value add projects.

We continue to have access to the financial markets; however, a prolonged disruption of the markets or a decline in credit and financing conditions could negatively affect our ability to access capital necessary to fund our operations or refinance maturing debt in the future. Additionally, rising interest rates could negatively impact our borrowing costs for any variable rate borrowings or refinancing activity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2025, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of critical accounting policies is included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025, under the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information. There have been no other significant changes to the critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

29

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future revenue, cash flows, and fair values of certain financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market prices and interest rates.

Our exposure to market risk is primarily related to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates on our current and future fixed and variable rate debt obligations. Our operating results are, therefore, affected by changes in interest rates, including SOFR. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025, under the heading “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a more complete discussion of the Company’s interest rate sensitivity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:  

In connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d), management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has identified no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

31

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of the Company’s operations, the Company becomes involved in litigation. At this time, the Company knows of no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of the Company’s property is the subject.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Uncertain global macro-economic and political conditions could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Our results of operations are materially affected by economic and political conditions in the United States and internationally, including inflation, deflation, interest rates, recession, availability of capital, and the effects of governmental initiatives to manage economic conditions. The current conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, resulting sanctions and related countermeasures by the United States and other countries, could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in the credit and capital markets and the economy in general, which could weaken our operations and financial performance. Any development or escalation of these conflicts, or any new conflicts, including those resulting from the policies of the U.S. Presidential Administration, could significantly affect worldwide political stability and cause turmoil in the capital markets and generally in the global financial system. Additionally, geopolitical and macroeconomic consequences of these events cannot be predicted but could severely impact the world economy.

There is also substantial uncertainty surrounding tariffs and international trade relations, and it is difficult for us to predict future trade measures and the impact they will have on our business and operations. In early 2025, the U.S. government imposed tariffs on many countries and indicated an intent to to impose individualized heightened tariffs on certain countries and foreign goods. In response, some countries imposed retaliatory countermeasures, including reciprocal tariffs. It is unclear whether any of the tariffs will remain in effect, whether the heightened tariffs will be imposed, or whether the U.S. government or any other country will impose new tariffs or other trade restrictions.

These tariffs, along with any additional tariffs or trade restrictions that may be implemented by the U.S. or retaliatory trade measures or tariffs implemented by other countries, could result in reduced economic activity, increased costs in operating our business, reduced spending on housing, limits on trade with the U.S. or other potentially adverse economic outcomes. In addition, current uncertainty surrounding tariffs and international trade relations has caused capital markets globally to experience significant volatility.

The occurrence of any of these could cause current or potential residents to delay or decrease spending on housing as their budgets are impacted by economic or political conditions. The inability of current and potential residents to pay market rents may adversely affect our earnings and cash flows. In addition, deterioration of conditions in worldwide capital markets could limit our ability to obtain financing to fund our operations and capital expenditures.

Other than as set forth above, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds 

Sales of Securities

On March 31, 2025, we issued 400 unregistered common shares to limited partners of Centerspace, LP upon exercise of their Exchange Rights for an equal number of Units. All such issuances of our common shares were exempt from registration as private placements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. We have registered the resale of such common shares under the Securities Act.

(a)    The Participant’s interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable on each of the vesting dates set forth above (each, a “Vesting Date”) if the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Vesting

Commencement Date through each applicable Vesting Date. Except as provided in paragraphs 2(b) or (c), if the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated prior to a Vesting Date, any Restricted Stock Units that remain unvested as of the date of such termination shall be forfeited.

(b)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until the date the Participant’s employment is terminated due to Disability or death that occurs before the last Vesting Date, then any Restricted Stock Units that remain unvested will vest in full and become nonforfeitable as of the date of such termination.

(c)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until a Control Change Date that occurs before the last Vesting Date and the Participant’s employment is terminated pursuant to a Qualifying Termination as of the Control Change Date or within twelve months following the Control Change Date, then any Restricted Stock Units that remain unvested will vest in full and become nonforfeitable as of the Control Change Date.

3.    Issuance and Settlement.

(a)    After any Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 2, the Company shall cause to be issued to the Participant, or to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or estate in the event of the Participant’s death, one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Restricted Stock Unit, subject to applicable required tax withholding. The Committee shall cause the Shares issuable in connection with the vesting of any such Restricted Stock Units to be issued as soon as practicable after vesting, but in all events no later than 30 days after vesting, and the Participant shall have no power to affect the timing of such issuance. Such issuance shall be evidenced by a stock certificate or appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company and shall be in complete settlement and satisfaction of such vested Restricted Stock Units.

(b)    The Participant may elect to satisfy any applicable required tax arising in relation to the Restricted Stock Units by (i) delivering cash (including check, draft, money order or wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company) or (ii) having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be delivered having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required tax withholding. In the case of clause (ii), the Company will not deliver to the Participant any fractional Shares (or equivalent cash value) remaining after reduction for withholding; rather, any remaining fractional Shares will be cancelled without payment.

4.    Shareholder Rights. The Restricted Stock Units do not entitle the Participant to any rights of a shareholder of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall accumulate an unvested right to payment of cash dividend equivalents on the Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units if cash dividends are declared by the Company on the Shares on or after the Date of Grant. Such dividend equivalents will be in an amount of cash per Restricted Stock Unit equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to one Share, subject to applicable required tax withholding. The Participant shall be entitled solely to payment of accumulated dividend equivalents with respect to the number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the number of Shares

2

ultimately issued to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement. Dividend equivalents will be paid to the Participant as soon as administratively possible following the date that the Shares are issued to the Participant. The Participant shall not be entitled to dividend equivalents with respect to dividends declared prior to the Date of Grant. All dividend equivalents accumulated with respect to forfeited Restricted Stock Units shall also be irrevocably forfeited. As of the date of issuance of Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issued pursuant hereto.

5.    Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following shall have the following meanings:

(a)    “Cause” means (i) the Participant’s willful conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or an Affiliate, monetarily or otherwise; (ii) the Participant’s material breach of written agreement between the Participant and the Company; (iii) the Participant’s breach of the Participant’s fiduciary duties to the Company or an Affiliate; (iv) the Participant’s conviction of any crime (or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendre to any crime) constituting a felony; or (v) the Participant’s entering into an agreement or consent decree or being the subject of any regulatory order that in any of such cases prohibits the Participant from serving as an officer or director of a company that has publicly traded securities. A termination of the Participant shall not be for “Cause” unless the decision to terminate the Participant is set forth in a resolution of the Board to that effect and which specifies the particulars thereof and that is approved by a majority of the members of the Board (exclusive of the Participant if the Participant is a member of the Board) adopted at a meeting called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Participant and an opportunity for the Participant to be heard before the Board). No act or failure to act by the Participant will be deemed “willful” if it was done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith or with a reasonable belief on the part of the Participant that the action or omission was in the best interests of the Company or an Affiliate. Any act or failure to act by the Participant based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based on the advice of counsel to the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith and in the best interest of the Company and its Affiliates.

(b)    “Disability” means the Participant has been determined, by a physician selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Participant, to be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

(c)    “Good Reason” means, without the express written consent of the Participant (i) a change in the Participant’s position with the Company or an Affiliate which results in a material diminution of the Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction by the Company or an Affiliate in the annual rate of the Participant’s base salary; or (iii) a change in the location of the Participant’s principal office to a different place that is more than fifty miles from the Participant’s principal office immediately prior to such change. A reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual base pay shall be material if the rate of annual base

3

salary on any date is less than ninety percent (90%) of the Participant’s highest rate of annual base pay as in effect on any date in the preceding thirty-six (36) months; provided, however, that a reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual base pay shall be disregarded to the extent that the reduction is applied similarly to the Company’s other officers or other employees. Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, a change in the Participant’s duties or responsibilities or a reduction in the annual rate of the Participant’s base salary in connection with the Participant’s termination of employment (for Cause, Disability or retirement), shall not constitute Good Reason and the Participant shall not have Good Reason to resign solely because the Company does not have common shares or other securities that are publicly traded. A resignation by the Participant shall not be with “Good Reason” unless the Participant gives the Company written notice specifying the event or condition that the Participant asserts constitutes Good Reason, the notice is given no more than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event or initial existence of the condition that the Participant asserts constitutes Good Reason and the Company has failed to remedy or cure the event or condition during the thirty day period after such written notice is given to the Company.

(d)    “Qualifying Termination” means a termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates on account of (i) the Participant’s death, (ii) the Participant’s Disability, (iii) the Company’s termination of the Participant for a reason other than Cause or Disability, or (iv) the Participant’s resignation with Good Reason.

6.    No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement and the grant of the Stock Unit Award do not give the Participant any rights with respect to continued employment by the Company or an Affiliate. This Agreement and the grant of the Stock Unit Award shall not interfere with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment.

7.    Change in Capital Structure. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the terms of this Agreement and the number and kind of Shares shall be adjusted as the Board determines to be equitably required in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or other similar changes in capitalization.

8.    Governing Law; Venue. The laws of the State of North Dakota shall govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement including, without limitation, its validity, interpretation, construction and performance but without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Any party bringing a legal action or proceeding against any other party arising out of or relating to this Agreement may bring the legal action or proceeding in the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota or in any court of the State of North Dakota sitting in Minot, North Dakota. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) any objection it may now or later have to the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this

4

Agreement brought in a court described in the preceding sentence and (ii) any claim that any legal action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.    Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. All references herein to the Plan shall mean the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant.

10.    Participant Bound by Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available to the Participant and the Participant agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Plan.

11.    Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations stated above and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s successors in interest and the Company and any successors of the Company.

12.    Recoupment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s rights in the Restricted Stock Units, the Shares and any dividends, dividend equivalents or other distributions paid or payable with respect to the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares are subject to recoupment or repayment if, and to the extent that, such action is required under applicable law or any Company recoupment or “clawback” policy.

Restricted Stock Units may not be transferred by the Participant without the Committee’s prior written consent other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

2.    Vesting of the Shares.

(a)    The Participant’s interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable on each of the vesting dates set forth above (each, a “Vesting Date”) if the

(a)    After any Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 2, the Company shall cause to be issued to the Participant, or to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or estate in the event of the Participant’s death, one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Restricted Stock Unit, subject to applicable required tax withholding. The Committee shall cause the Shares issuable in connection with the vesting of any such Restricted Stock Units to be issued as soon as practicable after vesting, but in all events no later than 30 days after vesting, and the Participant shall have no power to affect the timing of such issuance. Such issuance shall be evidenced by a stock certificate or appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company and shall be in complete settlement and satisfaction of such vested Restricted Stock Units.

TSR Performance Share Unit Agreement

Name of Participant:    [[FIRSTNAME]] [[LASTNAME]]
Target No. of Performance Share Units Covered: [[SHARESGRANTED]] (100% of Target Performance)	Date of Grant:     [[GRANTDATE]]

    THIS PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) governs the Stock Unit Award granted by Centerspace, a North Dakota real estate investment trust (the “Company”) to the above-named individual (the “Participant”), in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A copy of the Plan has been made available to the Participant. Unless the context indicates otherwise, capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

1.    Grant of Performance Share Units.

(a)    In accordance with the Plan, and effective as of the Date of Grant specified above, the Company has granted to the Participant the number of Performance Share Units specified at the beginning of this Agreement (collectively, the “Performance Share Units,” and each a “Performance Share Unit.”). Each Performance Share Unit represents the right to receive a share of Common Stock (a “Share”) and dividend equivalent amounts corresponding to the Share, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

(b)    The Performance Share Units granted to the Participant shall be credited to an account in the Participant’s name. This account shall be a record of book-keeping entries only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the number of Shares to be issued to or in respect of the Participant pursuant to this Agreement. Performance Share Units may not be transferred by the Participant without the Committee’s prior written consent other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

2.    Earned and Vested Performance Share Units.

(a)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until the last day of the Measurement Period, the Participant shall earn the number of Performance Share Units determined by taking the percentage earned in the table shown below, and multiplying the percentage times the target number of Performance Share Units specified at the beginning of this Agreement. The number of Performance Share Units that will be earned pursuant to this Section 2 will be determined by reference to the

Company TSR for the Measurement Period as compared to the TSRs of the constituent members of the REIT Index for the Measurement Period, as provided in the table below:

Company Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Relative to the FTSE Nareit Equity Index	% of Performance Share Units Earned
Below 25th percentile	0%
25th percentile (Threshold)	25%
50th percentile (Target)	100%
75th percentile or above (Maximum)	200%

Note: Interpolation between points in the table above will be on a straight-line basis (from threshold to target and from target to maximum). Fractional vested Performance Share Units will be rounded down to the nearest whole Unit.

(b)    As soon as practicable after the end of the Measurement Period, but in all events no later than March 31, 2026 (the “Determination Date”), the Committee shall certify the number of Performance Share Units (if any) that are earned and vested pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, and the Company shall cause the Shares issuable in connection with the vesting of any such Performance Share Units to be issued in accordance with Section 3; provided, however, that if the Measurement Period ends on account of a Change in Control, the Committee’s determination and certification shall be the “Control Change Date.”

(c)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until the date of a Qualifying Termination that occurs before the last day of the Measurement Period, then (i) the Performance Share Units will remain outstanding until the last day of the Measurement Period, (ii) the number of earned Performance Share Units shall be determined in accordance with Section 2(a), and (iii) the Participant will have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in a pro rata number of the earned Performance Share Units as of the last day of the Measurement Period. The pro rata number of earned Performance Share Units that vest shall be determined by multiplying the total number of earned Performance Share Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate from the first day of the Measurement Period to the date of a Qualifying Termination and the denominator of which is 1,095.

(d)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until a Control Change Date that occurs before the last day of the Measurement Period, then (i) the number of earned Performance Share Units shall be determined in accordance with Section 2(a) as of the Control Change Date; and (ii) the Participant will have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in a pro rata number of the earned Performance Share Units as of the Control Change Date. The pro rata number of earned Performance Share Units that vest shall be determined by multiplying the total number of earned Performance Share Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the

2

Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate from the first day of the Measurement Period to the Control Change Date, and the denominator of which is 1,095.

(e)    Any Performance Share Units that do not vest pursuant to this Agreement shall be forfeited without consideration therefor.

3.    Issuance and Settlement.

(a)    After any Performance Share Units vest in accordance with Section 2, the Company shall cause to be issued to the Participant, or to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or estate in the event of the Participant’s death, one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Performance Share Unit, subject to applicable required tax withholding. The Committee shall cause the Shares issuable in connection with the vesting of any such Performance Share Units to be issued as of the Determination Date, and the Participant shall have no power to affect the timing of such issuance. Such issuance shall be evidenced by a stock certificate or appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company and shall be in complete settlement and satisfaction of such vested Performance Share Units.

(b)    The Participant may elect to satisfy any applicable required tax arising in relation to the Performance Share Units by (i) delivering cash (including check, draft, money order or wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company), or (ii) having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be delivered having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required tax withholding. In the case of clause (ii), the Company will not deliver to the Participant any fractional Shares (or equivalent cash value) remaining after reduction for withholding; rather, any remaining fractional Shares will be cancelled without payment.

4.    Shareholder Rights. The Performance Share Units do not entitle the Participant to any rights of a shareholder of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall accumulate an unvested right to payment of cash dividend equivalents on the Shares underlying Performance Share Units if cash dividends are declared by the Company on the Shares on or after the Date of Grant. Such dividend equivalents will be in an amount of cash per Performance Share Unit equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to one Share, subject to applicable required tax withholding. The Participant shall be entitled solely to payment of accumulated dividend equivalents with respect to the number of Performance Share Units equal to the number of Shares ultimately issued to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement. Dividend equivalents will be paid to the Participant as soon as administratively possible following the date that the Shares are issued to the Participant. The Participant shall not be entitled to dividend equivalents with respect to dividends declared prior to the Date of Grant. All dividend equivalents accumulated with respect to forfeited Performance Share Units shall also be irrevocably forfeited. As of the date of issuance of Shares underlying Performance Share Units,

3

the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issued pursuant hereto.

5.    Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following shall have the following meanings:

(a)    “Cause” means (i) the Participant’s willful conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or an Affiliate, monetarily or otherwise; (ii) the Participant’s material breach of a written agreement between the Participant and the Company; (iii) the Participant’s breach of the Participant’s fiduciary duties to the Company or an Affiliate; (iv) the Participant’s conviction of any crime (or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendre to any crime) constituting a felony; or (v) the Participant’s entering into an agreement or consent decree or being the subject of any regulatory order that in any of such cases prohibits the Participant from serving as an officer or director of a company that has publicly traded securities. A termination of the Participant shall not be for “Cause” unless the decision to terminate the Participant is set forth in a resolution of the Board to that effect and which specifies the particulars thereof and that is approved by a majority of the members of the Board (exclusive of the Participant if the Participant is a member of the Board) adopted at a meeting called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Participant and an opportunity for the Participant to be heard before the Board). No act or failure to act by the Participant will be deemed “willful” if it was done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith or with a reasonable belief on the part of the Participant that the action or omission was in the best interests of the Company or an Affiliate. Any act or failure to act by the Participant based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based on the advice of counsel to the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith and in the best interest of the Company and its Affiliates.

(b)    “Company TSR” means the compounded annual growth rate, expressed as a percentage (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent (0.1%)) in the value of a common share of beneficial interest (“Common Share”) during the Measurement Period reflecting the appreciation/depreciation in the price per Common Share and dividends paid on a Common Share during the Measurement Period, including the reinvestment of dividends.  The Company TSR for each 12-month period in the Measurement Period (or any fractional year that ends on the last day of the Measurement Period) shall be calculated as follows:  (i) the closing price of the Common Share on the last day of such period (but using the average closing price for the 20 trading days ending on the last day of the Measurement Period for the last such period) plus dividends paid during such period divided by (ii) the closing price of the Common Share on the first day of such 12-month period (but using the average closing price for the 20 trading days ending before the first day of the Measurement Period for the first 12-month period). The Company TSR shall be calculated using information currently reported under “Comparative Returns” by Bloomberg L.P. or such other reporting service that the Committee may designate from time to time.”  If the Measurement Period ends on account of a Change in Control, the

TSR Performance Share Unit Agreement

Name of Participant:    [[FIRSTNAME]] [[LASTNAME]]
Target No. of Performance Share Units Covered: [[SHARESGRANTED]] (100% of Target Performance)	Date of Grant:     [[GRANTDATE]]

    THIS PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) governs the Stock Unit Award granted by Centerspace, a North Dakota real estate investment trust (the “Company”) to the above-named individual (the “Participant”), in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A copy of the Plan has been made available to the Participant. Unless the context indicates otherwise, capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

1.    Grant of Performance Share Units.

(a)    In accordance with the Plan, and effective as of the Date of Grant specified above, the Company has granted to the Participant the number of Performance Share Units specified at the beginning of this Agreement (collectively, the “Performance Share Units,” and each a “Performance Share Unit.”). Each Performance Share Unit represents the right to receive a share of Common Stock (a “Share”) and dividend equivalent amounts corresponding to the Share, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

(b)    The Performance Share Units granted to the Participant shall be credited to an account in the Participant’s name. This account shall be a record of book-keeping entries only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the number of Shares to be issued to or in respect of the Participant pursuant to this Agreement. Performance Share Units may not be transferred by the Participant without the Committee’s prior written consent other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

2.    Earned and Vested Performance Share Units.

(a)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until the last day of the Measurement Period, the Participant shall earn the number of Performance Share Units determined by taking the percentage earned in the table shown below, and multiplying the percentage times the target number of Performance Share Units specified at the beginning of this Agreement. The number of Performance Share Units that will be earned pursuant to this Section 2 will be determined by reference to the

Company TSR for the Measurement Period as compared to the TSRs of the constituent members of the REIT Index for the Measurement Period, as provided in the table below:

Company Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Relative to the FTSE Nareit Equity Index	% of Performance Share Units Earned
Below 25th percentile	0%
25th percentile (Threshold)	50%
50th percentile (Target)	100%
75th percentile or above (Maximum)	200%

Note: Interpolation between points in the table above will be on a straight-line basis (from threshold to target and from target to maximum). Fractional vested Performance Share Units will be rounded down to the nearest whole Unit.

(b)    As soon as practicable after the end of the Measurement Period, but in all events no later than March 31, 2027 (the “Determination Date”), the Committee shall certify the number of Performance Share Units (if any) that are earned and vested pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, and the Company shall cause the Shares issuable in connection with the vesting of any such Performance Share Units to be issued in accordance with Section 3; provided, however, that if the Measurement Period ends on account of a Change in Control, the Committee’s determination and certification shall be the “Control Change Date.”

(c)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until the date of a Qualifying Termination that occurs before the last day of the Measurement Period, then (i) the Performance Share Units will remain outstanding until the last day of the Measurement Period, (ii) the number of earned Performance Share Units shall be determined in accordance with Section 2(a), and (iii) the Participant will have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in a pro rata number of the earned Performance Share Units as of the last day of the Measurement Period. The pro rata number of earned Performance Share Units that vest shall be determined by multiplying the total number of earned Performance Share Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate from the first day of the Measurement Period to the date of a Qualifying Termination and the denominator of which is 1,095.

(d)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until a Control Change Date that occurs before the last day of the Measurement Period, then (i) the number of earned Performance Share Units shall be determined in accordance with Section 2(a) as of the Control Change Date; and (ii) the Participant will have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in a pro rata number of the earned Performance Share Units as of the Control Change Date. The pro rata number of earned Performance Share Units that vest shall be determined by multiplying the total number of earned Performance Share Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the

2

Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate from the first day of the Measurement Period to the Control Change Date, and the denominator of which is 1,095.

(e)    Any Performance Share Units that do not vest pursuant to this Agreement shall be forfeited without consideration therefor.

3.    Issuance and Settlement.

(a)    After any Performance Share Units vest in accordance with Section 2, the Company shall cause to be issued to the Participant, or to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or estate in the event of the Participant’s death, one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Performance Share Unit, subject to applicable required tax withholding. The Committee shall cause the Shares issuable in connection with the vesting of any such Performance Share Units to be issued as of the Determination Date, and the Participant shall have no power to affect the timing of such issuance. Such issuance shall be evidenced by a stock certificate or appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company and shall be in complete settlement and satisfaction of such vested Performance Share Units.

(b)    The Participant may elect to satisfy any applicable required tax arising in relation to the Performance Share Units by (i) delivering cash (including check, draft, money order or wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company), or (ii) having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be delivered having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required tax withholding. In the case of clause (ii), the Company will not deliver to the Participant any fractional Shares (or equivalent cash value) remaining after reduction for withholding; rather, any remaining fractional Shares will be cancelled without payment.

4.    Shareholder Rights. The Performance Share Units do not entitle the Participant to any rights of a shareholder of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall accumulate an unvested right to payment of cash dividend equivalents on the Shares underlying Performance Share Units if cash dividends are declared by the Company on the Shares on or after the Date of Grant. Such dividend equivalents will be in an amount of cash per Performance Share Unit equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to one Share, subject to applicable required tax withholding. The Participant shall be entitled solely to payment of accumulated dividend equivalents with respect to the number of Performance Share Units equal to the number of Shares ultimately issued to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement. Dividend equivalents will be paid to the Participant as soon as administratively possible following the date that the Shares are issued to the Participant. The Participant shall not be entitled to dividend equivalents with respect to dividends declared prior to the Date of Grant. All dividend equivalents accumulated with respect to forfeited Performance Share Units shall also be irrevocably forfeited. As of the date of issuance of Shares underlying Performance Share Units,

3

the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issued pursuant hereto.

5.    Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following shall have the following meanings:

(a)    “Cause” means (i) the Participant’s willful conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or an Affiliate, monetarily or otherwise; (ii) the Participant’s material breach of a written agreement between the Participant and the Company; (iii) the Participant’s breach of the Participant’s fiduciary duties to the Company or an Affiliate; (iv) the Participant’s conviction of any crime (or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendre to any crime) constituting a felony; or (v) the Participant’s entering into an agreement or consent decree or being the subject of any regulatory order that in any of such cases prohibits the Participant from serving as an officer or director of a company that has publicly traded securities. A termination of the Participant shall not be for “Cause” unless the decision to terminate the Participant is set forth in a resolution of the Board to that effect and which specifies the particulars thereof and that is approved by a majority of the members of the Board (exclusive of the Participant if the Participant is a member of the Board) adopted at a meeting called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Participant and an opportunity for the Participant to be heard before the Board). No act or failure to act by the Participant will be deemed “willful” if it was done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith or with a reasonable belief on the part of the Participant that the action or omission was in the best interests of the Company or an Affiliate. Any act or failure to act by the Participant based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based on the advice of counsel to the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith and in the best interest of the Company and its Affiliates.

(b)    “Company TSR” means the compounded annual growth rate, expressed as a percentage (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent (0.1%)) in the value of a common share of beneficial interest (“Common Share”) during the Measurement Period reflecting the appreciation/depreciation in the price per Common Share and dividends paid on a Common Share during the Measurement Period, including the reinvestment of cash dividends on Common Shares (the number of additional Common Shares as the result of reinvestment of cash dividends shall be determined using the same methodology as used for calculating additional Common Shares under the Company’s Distribution Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (i.e., the number of shares is determined based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Shares as traded on the NYSE only during regular NYSE hours on the distribution payment date)).  The Company TSR for each 12-month period in the Measurement Period (or any fractional year that ends on the last day of the Measurement Period) shall be calculated as follows:  (i) the closing price of the Common Share on the last day of such period (but using the average closing price for the 20 trading days ending on the last day of the Measurement Period for the last such period) plus cash dividends paid during such period divided by (ii) the closing price of the Common Share on the first day of such 12-month period (but using the average closing price for the 20 trading days ending before the first day of such 12-month period (or, if traded for fewer than 20 trading days ending before the first day of such 12-month period, such

4

fewer number of days)). The Company TSR shall be calculated using information currently reported under “Comparative Returns” by Bloomberg L.P. or such other reporting service that the Committee may designate from time to time.”  If the Measurement Period ends on account of a Change in Control, the Company TSR for the period from the most recent fiscal year-end to the Control Change Date shall be annualized for purposes of calculating the Company TSR.

(c)    “Disability” means the Participant has been determined, by a physician selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Participant, to be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

(d)    “Good Reason” means, without the express written consent of the Participant, (i) a change in the Participant’s position with the Company or an Affiliate which results in a material diminution of the Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction by the Company or an Affiliate in the annual rate of the Participant’s base salary; or (iii) a change in the location of the Participant’s principal office to a different place that is more than fifty miles from the Participant’s principal office immediately prior to such change. A reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual base pay shall be material if the rate of annual base salary on any date is less than ninety percent (90%) of the Participant’s highest rate of annual base pay as in effect on any date in the preceding thirty-six (36) months; provided, however, that a reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual base pay shall be disregarded to the extent that the reduction is applied similarly to the Company’s other officers or other employees. Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, a change in the Participant’s duties or responsibilities or a reduction in the annual rate of the Participant’s base salary in connection with the Participant’s termination of employment (for Cause, Disability, or retirement), shall not constitute Good Reason and the Participant shall not have Good Reason to resign solely because the Company does not have common shares or other securities that are publicly traded. A resignation by the Participant shall not be with “Good Reason” unless the Participant gives the Company written notice specifying the event or condition that the Participant asserts constitutes Good Reason, the notice is given no more than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event or initial existence of the condition that the Participant asserts constitutes Good Reason, and the Company has failed to remedy or cure the event or condition during the thirty day period after such written notice is given to the Company.

(e)    “Measurement Period” means the period beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 or (ii) a Change in Control Date.

(f)    “Qualifying Termination” means a termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates on account of (i) the Participant’s death, (ii) the

5

Participant’s Disability, (iii) the Company’s termination of the Participant for a reason other than Cause or Disability, or (iv) the Participant’s resignation with Good Reason.

(g)    “REIT Index” means the FTSE Nareit Equity Index, subject to changes based on the Rules for Changes in Constituent Members of the REIT Index During the Measurement Period, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(h)    “TSR of a constituent member of the REIT Index” means the total shareholder return of such member, calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth in Section 5(b) above; provided, however, that TSR of a constituent member of the REIT Index shall not include Company TSR.

6.    No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement and the grant of the Stock Unit Award do not give the Participant any rights with respect to continued employment by the Company or an Affiliate. This Agreement and the grant of the Stock Unit Award shall not interfere with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment.

7.    Change in Capital Structure. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the terms of this Agreement and the number and kind of Shares shall be adjusted as the Board determines to be equitably required in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or other similar changes in capitalization.

8.    Governing Law; Venue. The laws of the State of North Dakota shall govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement including, without limitation, its validity, interpretation, construction and performance but without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

    THIS PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) governs the Stock Unit Award granted by Centerspace, a North Dakota real estate investment trust (the “Company”), with the approval of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) and the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Company, to the above-named individual (the “Participant”), in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A copy of the Plan has been made available to the Participant. Unless the context indicates otherwise, capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

1.    Grant of Performance Share Units.

(a)    In accordance with the Plan, and effective as of the Date of Grant specified above, the Company has granted to the Participant the number of Performance Share Units specified at the beginning of this Agreement (collectively, the “Performance Share Units,” and each a “Performance Share Unit.”). Each Performance Share Unit represents the right to receive a share of Common Stock (a “Share”) and dividend equivalent amounts corresponding to the Share, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

(b)    The Performance Share Units granted to the Participant shall be credited to an account in the Participant’s name. This account shall be a record of book-keeping entries only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the number of Shares to be issued to or in respect of the Participant pursuant to this Agreement. Performance Share Units may not be transferred by the Participant without the Committee’s prior written consent other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

2.    Earned and Vested Performance Share Units.

(a)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until the last day of the Measurement Period, the Participant shall earn the number of Performance Share Units determined by taking the percentage earned in the table shown below, and multiplying the percentage times the target number of Performance Share Units specified at the beginning of this Agreement. The number of Performance Share Units that will be earned pursuant to this Section 2 will be determined by reference to the

Company TSR for the Measurement Period as compared to the TSRs of the constituent members of the REIT Index for the Measurement Period, as provided in the table below:

Company Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Relative to the FTSE Nareit Equity Index	% of Performance Share Units Earned
Below 25th percentile	0%
25th percentile (Threshold)	50%
50th percentile (Target)	100%
75th percentile or above (Maximum)	200%

Note: Interpolation between points in the table above will be on a straight-line basis (from threshold to target and from target to maximum). Fractional vested Performance Share Units will be rounded down to the nearest whole Unit.

(b)    As soon as practicable after the end of the Measurement Period, but in all events no later than March 31, 2028 (the “Determination Date”), the Committee shall certify the number of Performance Share Units (if any) that are earned and vested pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, and the Company shall cause the Shares issuable in connection with the vesting of any such Performance Share Units to be issued in accordance with Section 3; provided, however, that if the Measurement Period ends on account of a Change in Control, the Committee’s determination and certification shall be the “Control Change Date.”

(c)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until the date of a Qualifying Termination that occurs before the last day of the Measurement Period, then (i) the Performance Share Units will remain outstanding until the last day of the Measurement Period, (ii) the number of earned Performance Share Units shall be determined in accordance with Section 2(a), and (iii) the Participant will have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in a pro rata number of the earned Performance Share Units as of the last day of the Measurement Period. The pro rata number of earned Performance Share Units that vest shall be determined by multiplying the total number of earned Performance Share Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate from the first day of the Measurement Period to the date of a Qualifying Termination and the denominator of which is 1,095.

(d)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until a Control Change Date that occurs before the last day of the Measurement Period, then (i) the number of earned Performance Share Units shall be determined in accordance with Section 2(a) as of the Control Change Date; and (ii) the Participant will have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in a pro rata number of the earned Performance Share Units as of the Control Change Date. The pro rata number of earned Performance Share Units that vest shall be determined by multiplying the total number of earned Performance Share Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the

2

Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate from the first day of the Measurement Period to the Control Change Date, and the denominator of which is 1,095.

(e)    Any Performance Share Units that do not vest pursuant to this Agreement shall be forfeited without consideration therefor.

3.    Issuance and Settlement.

(a)    After any Performance Share Units vest in accordance with Section 2, the Company shall cause to be issued to the Participant, or to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or estate in the event of the Participant’s death, one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Performance Share Unit, subject to applicable required tax withholding. The Committee shall cause the Shares issuable in connection with the vesting of any such Performance Share Units to be issued as of the Determination Date, and the Participant shall have no power to affect the timing of such issuance. Such issuance shall be evidenced by a stock certificate or appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company and shall be in complete settlement and satisfaction of such vested Performance Share Units.

(b)    The Participant may elect to satisfy any applicable required tax arising in relation to the Performance Share Units by (i) delivering cash (including check, draft, money order or wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company), or (ii) having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be delivered having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required tax withholding. In the case of clause (ii), the Company will not deliver to the Participant any fractional Shares (or equivalent cash value) remaining after reduction for withholding; rather, any remaining fractional Shares will be cancelled without payment.

4.    Shareholder Rights. The Performance Share Units do not entitle the Participant to any rights of a shareholder of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall accumulate an unvested right to payment of cash dividend equivalents on the Shares underlying Performance Share Units if cash dividends are declared by the Company on the Shares on or after the Date of Grant. Such dividend equivalents will be in an amount of cash per Performance Share Unit equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to one Share, subject to applicable required tax withholding. The Participant shall be entitled solely to payment of accumulated dividend equivalents with respect to the number of Performance Share Units equal to the number of Shares ultimately issued to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement. Dividend equivalents will be paid to the Participant as soon as administratively possible following the date that the Shares are issued to the Participant. The Participant shall not be entitled to dividend equivalents with respect to dividends declared prior to the Date of Grant. All dividend equivalents accumulated with respect to forfeited Performance Share Units shall also be irrevocably forfeited. As of the date of issuance of Shares underlying Performance Share Units,

3

the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issued pursuant hereto.

5.    Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following shall have the following meanings:

(a)    “Cause” means (i) the Participant’s willful conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or an Affiliate, monetarily or otherwise; (ii) the Participant’s material breach of a written agreement between the Participant and the Company; (iii) the Participant’s breach of the Participant’s fiduciary duties to the Company or an Affiliate; (iv) the Participant’s conviction of any crime (or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendre to any crime) constituting a felony; or (v) the Participant’s entering into an agreement or consent decree or being the subject of any regulatory order that in any of such cases prohibits the Participant from serving as an officer or director of a company that has publicly traded securities. A termination of the Participant shall not be for “Cause” unless the decision to terminate the Participant is set forth in a resolution of the Board to that effect and which specifies the particulars thereof and that is approved by a majority of the members of the Board (exclusive of the Participant if the Participant is a member of the Board) adopted at a meeting called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Participant and an opportunity for the Participant to be heard before the Board). No act or failure to act by the Participant will be deemed “willful” if it was done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith or with a reasonable belief on the part of the Participant that the action or omission was in the best interests of the Company or an Affiliate. Any act or failure to act by the Participant based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based on the advice of counsel to the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith and in the best interest of the Company and its Affiliates.

(b)    “Company TSR” means the compounded annual growth rate, expressed as a percentage (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent (0.1%)) in the value of a common share of beneficial interest (“Common Share”) during the Measurement Period reflecting the appreciation/depreciation in the price per Common Share and dividends paid on a Common Share during the Measurement Period, including the reinvestment of cash dividends on Common Shares (the number of additional Common Shares as the result of reinvestment of cash dividends shall be determined using the same methodology as used for calculating additional Common Shares under the Company’s Distribution Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (i.e., the number of shares is determined based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Shares as traded on the NYSE only during regular NYSE hours on the distribution payment date)). The Company TSR for each 12-month period in the Measurement Period (or any fractional year that ends on the last day of the Measurement Period) shall be calculated as follows: (i) the closing price of the Common Share on the last day of such period (but using the average closing price for the 20 trading days ending on the last day of the Measurement Period for the last such period) plus cash dividends paid during such period divided by (ii) the closing price of the Common Share on the first day of such 12-month period (but using the average closing price for the 20 trading days ending before the first day of such 12-month period (or, if traded for fewer than 20 trading days ending before the first day of such 12-month period, such

4

fewer number of days)). The Company TSR shall be calculated using information currently reported under “Comparative Returns” by Bloomberg L.P. or such other reporting service that the Committee may designate from time to time.”  If the Measurement Period ends on account of a Change in Control, the Company TSR for the period from the most recent fiscal year-end to the Control Change Date shall be annualized for purposes of calculating the Company TSR.

(c)    “Disability” means the Participant has been determined, by a physician selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Participant, to be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

(d)    “Good Reason” means, without the express written consent of the Participant, (i) a change in the Participant’s position with the Company or an Affiliate which results in a material diminution of the Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction by the Company or an Affiliate in the annual rate of the Participant’s base salary; or (iii) a change in the location of the Participant’s principal office to a different place that is more than fifty miles from the Participant’s principal office immediately prior to such change. A reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual base pay shall be material if the rate of annual base salary on any date is less than ninety percent (90%) of the Participant’s highest rate of annual base pay as in effect on any date in the preceding thirty-six (36) months; provided, however, that a reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual base pay shall be disregarded to the extent that the reduction is applied similarly to the Company’s other officers or other employees. Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, a change in the Participant’s duties or responsibilities or a reduction in the annual rate of the Participant’s base salary in connection with the Participant’s termination of employment (for Cause, Disability, or retirement), shall not constitute Good Reason and the Participant shall not have Good Reason to resign solely because the Company does not have common shares or other securities that are publicly traded. A resignation by the Participant shall not be with “Good Reason” unless the Participant gives the Company written notice specifying the event or condition that the Participant asserts constitutes Good Reason, the notice is given no more than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event or initial existence of the condition that the Participant asserts constitutes Good Reason, and the Company has failed to remedy or cure the event or condition during the thirty day period after such written notice is given to the Company.

(e)    “Measurement Period” means the period beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2027 or (ii) a Change in Control Date.

(f)    “Qualifying Termination” means a termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates on account of (i) the Participant’s death, (ii) the

5

Participant’s Disability, (iii) the Company’s termination of the Participant for a reason other than Cause or Disability, or (iv) the Participant’s resignation with Good Reason.

(g)    “REIT Index” means the FTSE Nareit Equity Index, subject to changes based on the Rules for Changes in Constituent Members of the REIT Index During the Measurement Period, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(h)    “TSR of a constituent member of the REIT Index” means the total shareholder return of such member, calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth in Section 5(b) above; provided, however, that TSR of a constituent member of the REIT Index shall not include Company TSR.

6.    No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement and the grant of the Stock Unit Award do not give the Participant any rights with respect to continued employment by the Company or an Affiliate. This Agreement and the grant of the Stock Unit Award shall not interfere with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment.

7.    Change in Capital Structure. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the terms of this Agreement and the number and kind of Shares shall be adjusted as the Board determines to be equitably required in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or other similar changes in capitalization.

8.    Governing Law; Venue. The laws of the State of North Dakota shall govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement including, without limitation, its validity, interpretation, construction and performance but without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Any party bringing a legal action or proceeding against any other party arising out of or relating to this Agreement may bring the legal action or proceeding in the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota or in any court of the State of North Dakota sitting in Minot, North Dakota. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) any objection it may now or later have to the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement

6

brought in a court described in the preceding sentence, and (ii) any claim that any legal action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.    Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. All references herein to the Plan shall mean the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant.

10.    Participant Bound by Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available to the Participant and the Participant agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Plan.

11.    Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations stated above and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s successors in interest and the Company and any successors of the Company.

12.    Recoupment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s rights in the Performance Share Units, Shares and any dividends, dividend equivalents or other distributions paid or payable with respect to the Performance Share Units or Shares are subject to recoupment or repayment if, and to the extent that, such action is required under applicable law or any Company recoupment or “clawback” policy.

EXHIBIT A

Rules for Changes in Constituent Members of the REIT Index During the Measurement Period

1.    If, during the Measurement Period, two constituent members of the REIT Index merge, the surviving company will be a constituent member of the REIT Index for such Measurement Period.

2.    If, during the Measurement Period, a constituent member of the REIT Index merges with a company that is not a constituent member of the REIT Index and the constituent member is the surviving company, the surviving company will be a constituent member of the REIT Index for such Measurement Period.

3.    If, during the Measurement Period, a constituent member of the REIT Index merges with a company that is not a constituent member of the REIT index and the non-constituent member is the surviving company, the surviving company will not be a constituent member of the REIT Index for such Measurement Period.

4.    If, during the Measurement Period, a constituent member of the REIT Index is acquired, such company will be removed from the REIT Index for the Measurement Period.

5.    If, during the Measurement Period, the common stock of a constituent member of the REIT Index ceases to be traded or quoted on a national securities exchange by reason of a merger, acquisition, spin-off, going private transaction, or other similar corporate transaction, such company will be removed from the REIT Index for the Measurement Period.

6.    If a constituent member of the REIT Index consummates a spin-off or split-off transaction during the Measurement Period and the original constituent member remains publicly traded, such original constituent member will continue to be a constituent member of the REIT Index for the such Measurement Period; however, the spun-off or split-off company will not be included as a constituent member of the REIT Index for such Measurement Period.

7.    A constituent member of the REIT Index that ceases to be traded or quoted on a national securities exchange by reason of exchange delisting, bankruptcy, liquidation, or dissolution during the Measurement Period will remain a constituent member of the REIT Index for purposes of calculating the TSR of constituent members of the REIT Index (with such constituent member treated as having a TSR of negative one hundred percent (-100%) and ranked at the bottom of the REIT Index).

Stock Option Agreement

This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) governs the Stock Option Award granted by Centerspace, a North Dakota real estate investment trust (the “Company”), to the below-named individual (the “Participant”), in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A copy of the Plan has been made available to the Participant. Unless the context indicates otherwise, capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

I.    NOTICE OF STOCK OPTION GRANT

Name: [[FIRSTNAME]] [[LASTNAME]]                            

Address: Centerspace, 800 LaSalle Ave, Ste 1600, Minneapolis, MN 55402

The undersigned Participant has been granted an Option to purchase shares of Common Stock (“Shares”) of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, as follows:

Date of Grant:    [[GRANTDATE]]

Vesting Commencement Date:    [[VESTINGSTARTDATE]]

Exercise Price per Share:    [[GRANTPRICE]]

Total Number of Shares Granted:    [[SHARESGRANTED]]

Type of Option:    [[GRANTTYPE]]

Term/Expiration Date:    [[GRANTEXPIRATIONDATE]]

Vesting Schedule:

[[ALLVESTSEGS]]

This Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, according to the following vesting schedule:

Except as provided in Section 2 below, the shares subject to the Option shall vest in equal installments on January 1, 2024, January 1, 2025, January 1, 2026 and January 1, 2027, until all shares are vested on January 1, 2027, subject to the Participant remaining in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Grant Date until the applicable vesting date. If the application of the vesting schedule results in the vesting of a fractional share, the number of shares vested shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and such remaining unvested fractional shares shall vest with the last vesting tranche(s).

Termination Period:

This Option shall be exercisable for three (3) months after the Participant terminates employment with the Company and all Affiliates, unless such termination is due to the Participant’s death or Disability, in which case this Option shall be exercisable for twelve (12) months after the Participant’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in no event may this Option be exercised after the Term/Expiration Date as provided above and this Option may be subject to earlier termination as provided in the Plan.

II.    AGREEMENT

1.    Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant in Part I of this Agreement (the “Participant”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Shares”), at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.

If designated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”). The $100,000 rule states that no more than $100,000 of ISO Shares may become exercisable in any calendar year and still qualify as an ISO. When determining the $100,000 limit for a given calendar year, (i) the grant date value of the ISO Shares is always used, even if the grant date is not in the same calendar year in which the Shares become exercisable; and (ii) all of the Participant’s ISO Shares that become exercisable in the same calendar year under all Options awarded to the Participant are aggregated.

2.    Exercise of Option.

(a)    Right to Exercise. Except as provided below, this Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

(b)    Death; Disability. If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Grant Date until the date the Participant’s employment is terminated due to Disability or death that occurs before the last vesting date in the Vesting Schedule, then any Options that remain unvested will vest in full and become non-forfeitable as of the date of such termination.

(c)    Change in Control. If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Grant Date until a Control Change Date that occurs before the last vesting date in the Vesting Schedule and the Participant’s employment is terminated pursuant to a Qualifying Termination as of the Control Change Date or within twelve months

2

following the Control Change Date, then any Options that remain unvested will vest in full and become nonforfeitable as of the Control Change Date.

(d)    Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form (the “Exercise Notice”) or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may determine, which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares, together with any applicable tax withholding. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price, together with any applicable tax withholding.

No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise comply with applicable laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Participant on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

3.    Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Participant:

(a)    cash;

(b)    check;

(c)    if approved in the sole discretion of the Administrator at the time of exercise, by a net exercise;

(d)    if approved in the sole discretion of the Administrator at the time of exercise, surrender of other Shares which (i) shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, and (ii) must be owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, if accepting such Shares, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, shall not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.

4.    Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Participant.

5.    Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

3

6.    Tax Obligations.

(a)    Tax Withholding. The Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Participant) for the satisfaction of all federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

(b)    Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to the Participant herein is an ISO, and if the Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one (1) year after the date of exercise, the Participant shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. The Participant agrees that the Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Participant.

7.    Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following shall have the following meanings:

(a)    “Cause” means (i) the Participant’s willful conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or an Affiliate, monetarily or otherwise; (ii) the Participant’s material breach of written agreement between the Participant and the Company; (iii) the Participant’s breach of the Participant’s fiduciary duties to the Company or an Affiliate; (iv) the Participant’s conviction of any crime (or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendre to any crime) constituting a felony; or (v) the Participant’s entering into an agreement or consent decree or being the subject of any regulatory order that in any of such cases prohibits the Participant from serving as an officer or director of a company that has publicly traded securities. A termination of the Participant shall not be for “Cause” unless the decision to terminate the Participant is set forth in a resolution of the Board to that effect and which specifies the particulars thereof and that is approved by a majority of the members of the Board (exclusive of the Participant if the Participant is a member of the Board) adopted at a meeting called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Participant and an opportunity for the Participant to be heard before the Board). No act or failure to act by the Participant will be deemed “willful” if it was done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith or with a reasonable belief on the part of the Participant that the action or omission was in the best interests of the Company or an Affiliate. Any act or failure to act by the Participant based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based on the advice of counsel to the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith and in the best interest of the Company and its Affiliates.

(b)    “Disability” means the Participant has been determined, by a physician selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Participant, to be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

4

(c)    “Good Reason” means, without the express written consent of the Participant (i) a change in the Participant’s position with the Company or an Affiliate which results in a material diminution of the Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction by the Company or an Affiliate in the annual rate of the Participant’s base salary; or (iii) a change in the location of the Participant’s principal office to a different place that is more than fifty miles from the Participant’s principal office immediately prior to such change. A reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual base pay shall be material if the rate of annual base salary on any date is less than ninety percent (90%) of the Participant’s highest rate of annual base pay as in effect on any date in the preceding thirty-six (36) months; provided, however, that a reduction in the Participant’s rate of annual base pay shall be disregarded to the extent that the reduction is applied similarly to the Company’s other officers or other employees. Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, a change in the Participant’s duties or responsibilities or a reduction in the annual rate of the Participant’s base salary in connection with the Participant’s termination of employment (for Cause, Disability or retirement), shall not constitute Good Reason and the Participant shall not have Good Reason to resign solely because the Company does not have common shares or other securities that are publicly traded. A resignation by the Participant shall not be with “Good Reason” unless the Participant gives the Company written notice specifying the event or condition that the Participant asserts constitutes Good Reason, the notice is given no more than ninety days after the occurrence of the event or initial existence of the condition that the Participant asserts constitutes Good Reason and the Company has failed to remedy or cure the event or condition during the thirty day period after such written notice is given to the Company.

(d)    “Qualifying Termination” means a termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates on account of (i) the Participant’s death, (ii) the Participant’s Disability, (iii) the Company’s termination of the Participant for a reason other than Cause or Disability or (iv) the Participant’s resignation with Good Reason.

8.    No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement and the grant of the Stock Option Award do not give the Participant any rights with respect to continued employment or service relationship by the Company or an Affiliate. This Agreement and the grant of the Stock Option Award shall not interfere with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment or other service.

9.    Change in Capital Structure. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the terms of this Agreement and the number and kind of Shares shall be adjusted as the Board determines to be equitably required in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or other similar changes in capitalization.

10.    Governing Law; Venue. The laws of the State of North Dakota shall govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement including, without limitation, its validity, interpretation, construction and performance but without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Any party bringing a legal action or proceeding against any other party arising out of or relating to this Agreement may bring the legal action or proceeding in the United States District Court for the

5

District of North Dakota or in any court of the State of North Dakota sitting in Minot, North Dakota. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) any objection it may now or later have to the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in a court described in the preceding sentence and (ii) any claim that any legal action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

11.    Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. All references herein to the Plan shall mean the Plan as in effect on the Grant Date.

12.    Participant Bound by Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available to the Participant and the Participant agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Plan.

13.    Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations stated above and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s successors in interest and the Company and any successors of the Company.

14.    Recoupment.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Centerspace conducts a majority of its business activities through a consolidated operating partnership, Centerspace, LP, a North Dakota limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as well as through a number of other consolidated subsidiary entities. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of all its subsidiaries in which it maintains a controlling interest, including the Operating Partnership. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also reflect the Operating Partnership’s ownership of a joint venture entity in which the Operating Partnership has a general partner or controlling interest. This entity is consolidated into the Company’s operations, with noncontrolling interests reflecting the noncontrolling partners’ share of ownership, income, and expenses.

UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Centerspace’s unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, have been included.

The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain previously reported amounts within net cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income (loss) as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, total assets, liabilities or equity as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the classifications within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following table provides a brief description of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) recent accounting standards updates (“ASU”).

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses; ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Clarifying the Effective Date	This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring public companies disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. In 2025, an additional ASU was issued to provide clarification on the effective date of the original ASU.	This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.	The ASU will require additional disclosure but is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and deposits in money market mutual funds. The Company is potentially exposed to credit risk for cash deposited with FDIC-insured financial institutions in accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Although past bank failures have increased the risk of loss in such accounts, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, restricted cash consisted of $6.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for real estate deposits and escrows held by lenders. Escrows include funds deposited with a lender for payment of real estate taxes and insurance and reserves to be used for replacement of structural elements and mechanical equipment at certain communities. The funds are under the control of the lender. Disbursements are made after supplying written documentation to the lender.

LEASES

As a lessor, Centerspace primarily leases multifamily apartment homes which qualify as operating leases with terms that are generally one year or less. Rental revenues are recognized in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, using a method that represents a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, rental income represents approximately 98.4% and 98.2% of total revenues, respectively, and includes gross market rent less adjustments for gain or loss to lease, concessions, vacancy loss, and bad debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, other property revenues represent the remaining 1.6% and 1.8% of total revenues, respectively, and are primarily driven by other fee income, which is typically recognized when earned, at a point in time.

Some of the Company’s apartment communities have commercial spaces available for lease. Lease terms for these spaces typically range from three to fifteen years. The leases for commercial spaces generally include options to extend the lease for additional terms.

Many of the leases contain non-lease components for utility reimbursement from residents and common area maintenance from commercial tenants. Centerspace has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components. The combined components are included in lease income and are accounted for under ASC 842.

The aggregate amount of future scheduled lease income on commercial operating leases, excluding any variable lease income and non-lease components, as of March 31, 2025, was as follows:

	(in thousands)
2025 (remainder)	$	2,036
2026	2,651
2027	2,378
2028	2,012
2029	1,688
Thereafter	6,073
Total scheduled lease income - operating leases	$	16,838

REVENUES AND GAINS OR LOSSES ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE

Revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled for those goods and services.

Revenue streams that are included in revenues from contracts with customers include other property revenues such as application fees and other miscellaneous items. Centerspace recognizes revenue for these rental related items not included as a component of a lease as earned.

The following table presents the disaggregation of revenue streams for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

		(in thousands)
		Three Months Ended March 31,
Revenue Stream	Applicable Standard	2025		2024
Fixed lease income - operating leases	Leases	$	62,197	$	60,034
Variable lease income - operating leases	Leases	3,831		3,287
Other property revenue	Revenue from contracts with customers	1,065		1,185
Total revenue		$	67,093	$	64,506

In addition to lease income and other property revenue, the Company recognizes gains or losses on the sale of real estate and other investments when the criteria for derecognition of an asset are met, including when (1) a contract exists and (2) the buyer obtained control of the nonfinancial asset that was sold. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not recognize a gain or loss on the sale of real estate and other investments, compared to a loss of $577,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Any gain or loss on real estate dispositions is net of certain closing and other costs associated with the disposition.

IN-PLACE LEASE AMORTIZATION

The Company records in-place lease assets at the time of acquisition. The amortization periods reflects the average remaining term of in-place leases acquired, which are generally less than one year for multifamily apartment homes. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to intangibles, included within depreciation and amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

MARKET CONCENTRATION RISK

The Company is subject to increased exposure from economic and other competitive factors specific to markets where it holds a significant percentage of the carrying value of its real estate portfolio. As of March 31, 2025, Centerspace held more than 10% of the carrying value of its real estate portfolio in the Minneapolis, Minnesota and Denver, Colorado markets.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including real estate investments, for impairment indicators at least quarterly. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions, expected holding period of each property, and legal and environmental concerns. If indicators exist, the Company compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for the property against the carrying amount of that property. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is generally recorded for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount. If the anticipated holding period for properties, the estimated fair value of properties, or other factors change based on market conditions or otherwise, the evaluation of impairment charges may be different and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of estimated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future physical occupancy, rental rates, and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Plans to hold properties over longer periods decrease the likelihood of recording impairment losses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not record a loss for impairment on real estate.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Centerspace has determined that its Operating Partnership and each of its less-than-wholly owned real estate partnerships are variable interest entities (each, a “VIE”), as the limited partners or the functional equivalent of limited partners lack substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, and the VIEs are required to be consolidated on the balance sheet because the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIEs and has

both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs as well as the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Because the Operating Partnership is a VIE, all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held through a VIE.

REAL ESTATE RELATED NOTES RECEIVABLE

In connection with the acquisition of The Lydian, an apartment community in Denver, Colorado, the Company has a tax increment financing note receivable (“TIF”) with an initial principal balance of $4.1 million. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the principal balance was $4.1 million, which appears within other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The note bears an interest rate of 6.0% with payments due periodically each year.

In connection with the acquisition of Ironwood, an apartment community in New Hope, Minnesota, the Company has a tax increment financing note receivable (“TIF”) with a principal balance of $5.1 million and $5.2 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which appears within other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The note bears an interest rate of 4.5% with payments due in February and August of each year. The note matures February 1, 2039, and may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time.

In 2023, the Company originated a $15.1 million mezzanine loan for the development of an apartment community located in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. The mezzanine loan bears interest at 10.0% per annum which accrues interest that is added to the principal balance and is payable at maturity. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had funded $15.1 million of the mezzanine loan. The loan matures in December 2027 unless extended to December 2028 in accordance with the terms of the mezzanine loan agreement. The loan is secured by a pledge of and first priority security interest against 100% of the membership interests in the mezzanine borrower and the agreement provides the Company with an option to purchase the development at a discount to future appraised value. The loan represents an investment in an unconsolidated variable interest entity. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE as Centerspace does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance nor does Centerspace have significant influence over the entity. The note receivable appears within other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) outstanding during the period. Centerspace has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under its 2015 Incentive Plan, Series D Convertible Preferred Units (“Series D preferred units”), and Series E Convertible Preferred Units (“Series E preferred units”), which could have a dilutive effect on net income (loss) per share upon vesting of the RSUs, upon exercising of ISOs, or upon conversion of the Series D or Series E preferred units (refer to Note 4 for further discussion of the Series D and the Series E preferred units). The Company calculates diluted net income (loss) per share using the treasury stock method for RSUs and ISOs and the if converted method for Series D preferred units and Series E preferred units. Other than the issuance of RSUs, ISOs, Series D preferred units, and Series E preferred units, there are no outstanding options, warrants, convertible stock, or other contractual obligations requiring issuance of additional common shares that would result in a dilution of net income (loss). Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership, limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem their limited partnership units (“Units”) any time following the first anniversary of the date they acquired such Units (“Exchange Right”). Upon the exercise of Exchange Rights, and in Centerspace’s sole discretion, it may issue common shares in exchange for Units on a one-for-one basis.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic and diluted net income (loss) per share reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating partnership units of 980,000, Series D preferred units of 228,000, as converted, Series E preferred units of 1.9 million, as converted, time-based RSUs and options of 35,000, and performance-based RSUs of 43,000 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because they were anti-dilutive as including these items would have improved net loss per share.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, operating partnership units of 854,000, Series D preferred units of 228,000, as converted, Series E preferred units of 2.1 million, as converted, time-based RSUs of 20,000, and performance-based RSUs of 41,000 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because they were anti-dilutive as including these items would have improved net loss per share.

MEZZANINE EQUITY AND EQUITY

Series D Preferred Units (Mezzanine Equity). Series D preferred units outstanding were 165,600 preferred units at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Series D preferred units have a par value of $100 per preferred unit. The Series D preferred unit holders receive a preferred distribution at the rate of 3.862% per year and have a put option which allows the holder to redeem any or all of the Series D preferred units for cash equal to the issuance price. Each Series D preferred unit is convertible, at the holder’s option, into 1.37931 Units. The Series D preferred units have an aggregate liquidation value of $16.6 million. Changes in the redemption value are based on changes in the trading value of common shares and are charged to common shares on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets each quarter. The holders of the Series D preferred units do not have voting rights. Distributions to Series D unitholders are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity within net income (loss) attributable to controlling interests and noncontrolling interests.

Series C Preferred Shares. On August 30, 2024, we delivered notice to holders of the Series C preferred shares that we intended to redeem all 3.9 million Series C preferred shares at a redemption price equal to $25 per share plus any accrued but unpaid distributions per share up to and including the redemption date of September 30, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the Company completed the redemption of all the outstanding Series C preferred shares for an aggregate redemption price of $97.0 million, excluding distributions, which was $3.5 million in excess of the carrying value. Such shares were no longer outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Series C preferred shares were nonvoting and redeemable for cash at $25 per share at Centerspace’s option. Holders of these shares were entitled to cumulative distributions, payable quarterly (as and if declared by the Board of Trustees).

The amendment increased the maximum aggregate offering price of common shares available for offer and sale thereunder from $250.0 million to $500.0 million. Under the ATM Program, the Company may enter into separate forward sale agreements. The proceeds from the sale of common shares under the ATM Program may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions, construction or mezzanine loans, community renovations, and the repayment of indebtedness. There were no sales of common shares under the ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. As of March 31, 2025, common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $262.9 million remained available under the ATM Program.

Share Repurchase Program. The Company had a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), providing for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $50 million of the Company’s outstanding common shares. This program expired on March 10, 2025. Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company was authorized to repurchase common shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block trades or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

amended.

(4)Interest rate is fixed.

As of March 31, 2025, 45 apartment communities were not encumbered by mortgages and were available to provide credit support for the unsecured borrowings. The Company’s primary unsecured credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility” or “Facility”) is a revolving, multi-bank line of credit, with Bank of Montreal serving as administrative agent. The line of credit has total commitments and borrowing capacity of up to $250.0 million, based on the value of unencumbered properties. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $204.0 million beyond the $46.0 million drawn under the Facility, priced at an interest rate of 5.71%. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $206.0 million beyond the $44.0 million drawn under the Facility, priced at an interest rate of 5.81%. On July 26, 2024, the Unsecured Credit Facility was amended to extend maturity and to modify the leverage-based margin ratios applicable to borrowings. As amended, this Facility matures in July 2028, with an option to extend maturity for up to two additional six-month periods and has an accordion option to increase borrowing capacity up to $400.0 million.

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the benchmark alternative reference rate under the Facility. As amended, the interest rates on the line of credit are based on the consolidated leverage ratio, at the Company’s option, on either the lender’s base rate plus a margin, ranging from 20-80 basis points, or daily or term SOFR, plus a margin that ranges from 120-180 basis points with the consolidated leverage ratio described under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended. The Unsecured Credit Facility and unsecured senior notes are subject to customary financial covenants and limitations. The Company believes that it was in compliance with all such financial covenants and limitations as of March 31, 2025.

In September 2024, Centerspace entered into an operating line of credit agreement with US Bank, N.A. which has a borrowing capacity of up to $10.0 million and pricing based on SOFR. This operating line of credit terminates in September 2025 and is designed to enhance treasury management activities and more effectively manage cash balances. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $2.7 million and $3.4 million outstanding on this line of credit, respectively.

Centerspace had a private shelf agreement with PGIM, Inc., an affiliate of Prudential Financial, Inc., and certain affiliates of PGIM, Inc. (collectively, “PGIM”) under which the Company issued $175.0 million in unsecured senior promissory notes (“Unsecured Shelf Notes”). On October 28, 2024, the shelf agreement was amended to extend the period of time during which the Company may borrow money to October 2027 and to increase the borrowing capacity to $300.0 million. The Company also has a separate private note purchase agreement with PGIM and certain other lenders for the issuance of $125.0 million of senior unsecured promissory notes (“Unsecured Club Notes”, and, collectively with the Unsecured Shelf Notes, the “unsecured senior notes”), of which all $125.0 million was issued in September 2021. The following table shows the notes issued under both agreements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Centerspace has a $198.9 million Fannie Mae Credit Facility Agreement (“FMCF”). The FMCF is secured by mortgages on 11 apartment communities. The notes are interest-only, with varying maturity dates of 7, 10, and 12 years, and a blended, weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.78%. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the FMCF had a balance of $198.9 million. The FMCF is included within mortgages payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2025, Centerspace owned 15 apartment communities that served as collateral for mortgage loans, in addition to the apartment communities secured by the FMCF. All of these mortgage loans were non-recourse to the Company other than for standard carve-out obligations. As of March 31, 2025, the Company believes that there were no material defaults or instances of material noncompliance in regard to any of these mortgage loans. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the mortgage loans had a balance of $418.5 million and $420.4 million, respectively, excluding unamortized premiums and discounts.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Centerspace had, in the past, used interest rate derivatives to stabilize interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily used interest rate swap contracts to fix variable interest rate debt.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualified as cash flow hedges were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to interest expense in the periods in which interest payments are incurred on variable rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates an additional $232,000 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company had no remaining interest rate swaps.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. For variable rate line of credit debt that re-prices frequently, fair values are based on carrying values.

In determining the fair value of other financial instruments, Centerspace applies FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures.” Fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (Levels 1 and 2) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant data (Level 3). Fair value estimates may differ from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of the assets and liabilities.

Centerspace utilizes an income approach with Level 3 inputs based on expected future cash flows to value the notes receivable. The unobservable inputs include market transactions for similar instruments, management estimates of comparable interest rates (range of 5.00% to 9.00%), and instrument specific credit risk (range of 0.5% to 1.0%). Changes in the fair value of these receivables from period to period are reported in interest and other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Centerspace had investments totaling $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in real estate technology venture funds consisting of privately held entities that develop technology related to the real estate industry. These investments appear within other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investments are measured at net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient under ASC 820. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had unfunded commitments of $850,000.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

There were no non-financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The fair value of unsecured senior notes and mortgages payable is estimated based on the discounted cash flows of the loans using market research and management estimates of comparable interest rates, excluding any prepayment penalties (Level 3).

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENTS

SEGMENTS 

Centerspace operates in a single reportable segment which includes the ownership, management, development, redevelopment, and acquisition of apartment communities. Each of the operating properties is considered a separate operating segment because each property earns revenues, incurs expenses, and has discrete financial information.

The chief executive officer and chief financial officer are the chief operating decision-makers (“CODM”). The CODMs evaluate each property’s operating results, using net operating income (“NOI”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess property performance, and do not group the properties based on geography, size, or type for this purpose. The Company defines NOI as total real estate revenues less property operating expenses, including real estate taxes. Centerspace believes that NOI is an important measure of operating performance for real estate because it provides a measure of operations that excludes gain (loss) on the sale of real estate and other assets, impairment, depreciation, amortization, financing, including interest income and interest expense, property management expenses, loss on litigation settlement, casualty losses, and general and administrative expense.

The apartment communities have similar long-term economic characteristics and similar operating characteristics, such as type and length of lease, services offered to residents, and property management practices. No apartment community comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues, profits, or assets. Accordingly, the apartment communities are aggregated into a single reportable segment, Multifamily. “All other” is composed of non-multifamily properties, non-multifamily components of mixed-use properties and apartment communities the Company has disposed or designated as held for sale, which did not meet the aggregation criteria.

The following tables present NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, along with reconciliations to net income (loss) as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment assets are also reconciled to total assets as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation.  Centerspace is involved in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of business and believes that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters.  Under various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal of, or remediation of, certain hazardous or toxic substances in, on, around, or under the property. While the Company currently has no knowledge of any material violation of environmental laws, ordinances, or regulations at any of the properties, there can be no assurance that areas of contamination will not be identified at any of its properties or that changes in environmental laws, regulations, or cleanup requirements would not result in material costs.

Limitations on Taxable Dispositions.  Twenty-eight properties, consisting of approximately 5,162 apartment homes, are subject to limitations on taxable dispositions under agreements entered into with certain sellers or contributors of the properties and are effective for varying periods. Centerspace does not believe that the agreements materially affect the conduct of its business or its decisions whether to dispose of these properties during the limitation period because it generally holds these and other properties for investment purposes rather than for sale. In addition, where the Company deems it to be in the shareholders’ best interests to dispose of such properties, it generally seeks to structure sales of such properties as tax-deferred transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Otherwise, the Company may be required to provide tax indemnification payments to the parties to these agreements.

Unfunded Commitments. As of March 31, 2025, Centerspace had unfunded commitments of $850,000 in two real estate technology venture funds. Refer to Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding these investments.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2025

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based awards are provided to officers, non-officer employees, and trustees under the 2015 Incentive Plan approved by shareholders on September 15, 2015, as amended and restated on May 18, 2021 (the “2015 Incentive Plan”), which allows for awards in the form of cash, unrestricted and restricted common shares, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and RSUs up to an aggregate of 775,000 shares over the ten-year period in which the plan is in effect. Under the 2015 Incentive Plan, officers and non-officer employees may earn share awards under a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which is a forward-looking program that measures long-term performance over the stated performance period. These awards are payable to the extent deemed earned in shares. The terms of the long-term incentive awards granted under the revised program may vary from year to year. Through March 31, 2025, awards under the 2015 Incentive Plan consisted of restricted and unrestricted common shares, RSUs, and stock options. The Company accounts for forfeitures of restricted and unrestricted common shares, RSUs, and stock options when they occur instead of estimating the forfeitures.

2025 LTIP Awards

Awards granted to employees on January 1, 2025, consisted of an aggregate of 25,121 time-based RSU awards and 11,870 performance RSUs based on total shareholder return (“TSR”). The time-based RSUs vest as to one-third of the shares on each of January 1, 2026, January 1, 2027, and January 1, 2028.

The performance RSUs are earned based on the Company’s TSR as compared to the FTSE Nareit Equity Index over a forward looking three-year period. The maximum number of performance RSUs eligible to be earned is 23,740 RSUs, which is 200% of the performance RSUs granted. Earned awards (if any) will fully vest as of the last day of the measurement period. These awards have market conditions in addition to service conditions that must be met for the awards to vest. Compensation expense is recognized ratably based on the grant date fair value, as determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model, regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and the awards ultimately vest. Therefore, previously recorded compensation expense is not adjusted in the event that the market conditions are not achieved. The Company based the expected volatility on a weighted average of the historical volatility of the Company’s daily closing share price, the risk-free interest rate on U.S. treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the remaining performance period of the award, and the expected term on the performance period of the award. The assumptions used to value the TSR performance RSUs were an expected volatility of 27.30%, a risk-free interest rate of 4.27%, and an expected life of 3 years. The share price at the grant date, January 1, 2025, was $66.15 per share.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Total share-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all outstanding share-based awards was $858,000 and $749,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2025

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Centerspace conducts a majority of its business activities through a consolidated operating partnership, Centerspace, LP, a North Dakota limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as well as through a number of other consolidated subsidiary entities. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of all its subsidiaries in which it maintains a controlling interest, including the Operating Partnership. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also reflect the Operating Partnership’s ownership of a joint venture entity in which the Operating Partnership has a general partner or controlling interest. This entity is consolidated into the Company’s operations, with noncontrolling interests reflecting the noncontrolling partners’ share of ownership, income, and expenses.

UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Centerspace’s unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, have been included.

The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain previously reported amounts within net cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income (loss) as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, total assets, liabilities or equity as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the classifications within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following table provides a brief description of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) recent accounting standards updates (“ASU”).

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses; ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Clarifying the Effective Date	This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring public companies disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. In 2025, an additional ASU was issued to provide clarification on the effective date of the original ASU.	This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.	The ASU will require additional disclosure but is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and deposits in money market mutual funds. The Company is potentially exposed to credit risk for cash deposited with FDIC-insured financial institutions in accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Although past bank failures have increased the risk of loss in such accounts, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

RESTRICTED CASH

Escrows include funds deposited with a lender for payment of real estate taxes and insurance and reserves to be used for replacement of structural elements and mechanical equipment at certain communities. The funds are under the control of the lender. Disbursements are made after supplying written documentation to the lender.

LEASES

As a lessor, Centerspace primarily leases multifamily apartment homes which qualify as operating leases with terms that are generally one year or less. Rental revenues are recognized in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, using a method that represents a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, rental income represents approximately 98.4% and 98.2% of total revenues, respectively, and includes gross market rent less adjustments for gain or loss to lease, concessions, vacancy loss, and bad debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, other property revenues represent the remaining 1.6% and 1.8% of total revenues, respectively, and are primarily driven by other fee income, which is typically recognized when earned, at a point in time.

Some of the Company’s apartment communities have commercial spaces available for lease. Lease terms for these spaces typically range from three to fifteen years. The leases for commercial spaces generally include options to extend the lease for additional terms.

Many of the leases contain non-lease components for utility reimbursement from residents and common area maintenance from commercial tenants. Centerspace has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components. The combined components are included in lease income and are accounted for under ASC 842.

REVENUES AND GAINS OR LOSSES ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE

Revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled for those goods and services.

Revenue streams that are included in revenues from contracts with customers include other property revenues such as application fees and other miscellaneous items. Centerspace recognizes revenue for these rental related items not included as a component of a lease as earned.

In addition to lease income and other property revenue, the Company recognizes gains or losses on the sale of real estate and other investments when the criteria for derecognition of an asset are met, including when (1) a contract exists and (2) the buyer obtained control of the nonfinancial asset that was sold. Any gain or loss on real estate dispositions is net of certain closing and other costs associated with the disposition.

IN-PLACE LEASE AMORTIZATION

The Company records in-place lease assets at the time of acquisition. The amortization periods reflects the average remaining term of in-place leases acquired, which are generally less than one year for multifamily apartment homes. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to intangibles, included within depreciation and amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

MARKET CONCENTRATION RISK

The Company is subject to increased exposure from economic and other competitive factors specific to markets where it holds a significant percentage of the carrying value of its real estate portfolio. As of March 31, 2025, Centerspace held more than 10% of the carrying value of its real estate portfolio in the Minneapolis, Minnesota and Denver, Colorado markets.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including real estate investments, for impairment indicators at least quarterly. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions, expected holding period of each property, and legal and environmental concerns. If indicators exist, the Company compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for the property against the carrying amount of that property. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is generally recorded for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount. If the anticipated holding period for properties, the estimated fair value of properties, or other factors change based on market conditions or otherwise, the evaluation of impairment charges may be different and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of estimated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future physical occupancy, rental rates, and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Plans to hold properties over longer periods decrease the likelihood of recording impairment losses.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Centerspace has determined that its Operating Partnership and each of its less-than-wholly owned real estate partnerships are variable interest entities (each, a “VIE”), as the limited partners or the functional equivalent of limited partners lack substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, and the VIEs are required to be consolidated on the balance sheet because the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIEs and has

both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs as well as the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Because the Operating Partnership is a VIE, all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held through a VIE.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the property operating expenses, excluding real estate taxes line item.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualified as cash flow hedges were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to interest expense in the periods in which interest payments are incurred on variable rate debt.
