As of June 30, 2014, the Company had letter of credit obligations of $8.1 million. The Company believes that the likelihood is remote that there will be a draw upon these letter of credit obligations.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had 17 buildings under development. These buildings are expected to contain, when completed, a total of 5.7 million square feet of leasable space and represent an anticipated aggregate investment of $467.3 million. At June 30, 2014, development in progress totaled $329.7 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2014, the Company had invested $10.8 million in deferred leasing costs related to these development buildings. See Note 12 for details of the Company's commitments related to the development of the Comcast Innovation and Technology Center.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company was committed to $10.5 million in improvements on certain buildings and land parcels.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.
