Impact of COVID-19 on our Business
Overview
In light of the changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainty regarding the duration, severity, and possible resurgence of the pandemic in future periods, the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business is currently unknown and unquantifiable. While the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on theU.S. economy and theU.S. real estate industry remains to be seen, the pandemic has already presented significant challenges for us and many of our tenants. In the near-term, we and many of our tenants are focusing on implementing contingency plans to manage business disruptions caused by the pandemic and related actions intended to mitigate its spread. In the long-term, REITs and other real estate companies might need to re-assess and consider modifying their operating models, underwriting criteria, and liquidity position to mitigate the impacts of future economic downturns, including as a result of the potential resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in future months, the timing, severity, and duration of which cannot be predicted. 30
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
We anticipate the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the related actions intended to mitigate its spread will continue to adversely affect business activity, particularly relating to our retail tenants, across the markets in which we operate. We have observed the impact of COVID-19 manifest in the form of business closures or significantly limited operations at certain times in our retail portfolio, with the exception of tenants operating in certain "essential" businesses, which has resulted, and may in the future result in, a decline in on-time rental payments, increased requests from tenants for temporary rental relief, and potentially permanent closure of certain businesses. We expect these conditions to continue in varying duration and severity until such time when the COVID-19 pandemic is effectively contained. When COVID-19 is contained, depending on the rate and effectiveness of the containment efforts deployed by various national, state, and local governments, we anticipate a rebound in economic activity, although we are unable to predict the nature, timing, and sustainability of an economic recovery. In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, we took proactive, aggressive actions to adopt social distancing policies at our offices, properties, and construction jobsites, including: transitioning our office employees to a remote work environment during certain periods of time, which was greatly assisted by recent enhancements to our IT systems; limiting the number of employees attending in-person meetings; implementing limitations on travel; and ensuring all construction jobsites continue to comply with state and local social distancing and other health and safety protocols implemented by the Company. To further strengthen our financial flexibility and efficiently manage through the uncertainty caused by COVID-19, our Board of Directors temporarily suspended the payment of quarterly cash dividends on shares of our common stock and Class A common units for the second quarter of 2020. As a result of improvement in general economic conditions and the Company's operating performance, our Board of Directors reinstated quarterly cash dividends on shares of our common stock and Class A common units with a cash dividend of$0.11 per share and unit, for the third quarter of 2020, which was paid onOctober 8, 2020 to stockholders and OP unitholders of record onSeptember 30, 2020 . In addition,Lou Haddad , our President and Chief Executive Officer, voluntarily elected to reduce his base compensation by 25%, and each of our directors, includingDan Hoffler andRuss Kirk , voluntarily elected to reduce their cash retainers and annual equity awards by 25%, in each case effective as ofMay 1, 2020 . From an operational perspective, we have remained in regular communication with our tenants, property managers, and vendors, and, where appropriate, have provided guidance relating to the availability of government relief programs that could support our tenants' businesses. In response to the market and industry trends, we also have pursued, and expect to continue to pursue, cost-saving initiatives to align our overall cost structure, including proactively deferring previously announced development activity at several of our projects, postponing certain acquisition activity, slowing down redevelopment activity at The Cosmopolitan, and suspending non-essential capital expenditures. Although we believe these measures and other measures we may implement in the future will help mitigate the financial impacts of the pandemic on our business, there can be no assurances that we will accurately forecast the impact of adverse economic conditions on our business or that we will effectively align our cost structure, capital investments, and other expenditures with our revenue and spending levels in the future. To evaluate market trends affecting public REITs across asset classes and to assess our response to COVID-19 relative to our peers, we have been monitoring information that has been released by public REITs, summary data released by theNational Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") and other publicly available sources, and information obtained during our regular discussions with tenants. While we view information gathered from publicly available sources as helpful in assessing broader trends affecting the commercial real estate industry, we can provide no assurances that the estimates and assumptions used in preparing this third-party information are applicable to our business or ultimately will prove to be accurate. In addition, our asset management team, together with the rest of senior management, has dedicated significant resources to monitoring detailed portfolio performance on a real-time basis, including rent collections, requests for rent relief and uncollected payments, as well as negotiating rent deferments and other relief with certain of our tenants. We will continue to actively monitor the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our and our tenants' businesses and may take further actions to alter our business practices if we determine that such changes are in the best interests of our employees, tenants, residents, stockholders, and third-party construction customers, or as required by federal, state, or local authorities. It is not clear what the potential effects of such alterations or modifications, if any, may have on our business, including the effects on our tenants and residents and the corresponding impact on our results of operations and financial condition for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and thereafter. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted onMarch 27, 2020 inthe United States . We continue to assess the potential impacts of this and subsequent legislation, including our eligibility and our 31

tenants for funding under programs designed to provide financial assistance toU.S. businesses. We have availed ourselves of the option to defer payment of the employer share ofSocial Security payroll taxes that would otherwise have been owed from the date of enactment of the CARES Act throughDecember 31, 2020 . We believe the diversification of our business across multiple asset classes (i.e., office, retail and multifamily), together with our third-party construction business, will help to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business to a greater extent than if our business were concentrated in a single asset class. However, as discussed in greater detail below, we expect the impact of the pandemic to continue to have a particularly adverse effect on many of our retail tenants, which will continue to adversely affect our results of operations even if the performance of our office and multifamily assets and our construction business remain close to historical levels. Furthermore, if the impacts of the pandemic continue for an extended period of time, we expect that certain office tenants and multifamily residents will experience greater financial distress, which could result in late payments, requests for rental relief, business closures, decreases in occupancy, reductions in rent, or increases in rent concessions or other accommodations, as applicable.
Operating Property Portfolio
Office Tenants
As ofOctober 27, 2020 , we had collected 100% of office tenant rent due for the third quarter of 2020 and 100% of office tenant rent forOctober 2020 . Data reported corresponds to tenant type and does not correspond to the reporting segment classification of the properties as a whole. InJune 2020 , following discussion withWeWork , we agreed to terminate the lease of the top two office floors ofWills Wharf inHarbor Point , prior to our funding any tenant improvements. We received a termination fee of$1.3 million , including a$1.0 million reimbursement of legal and leasing fees.
Retail Tenants
In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, state and local governments have enacted various measures at various times, including orders to close all businesses not deemed essential, isolate residents to their homes or places of residence, and practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. These government-imposed measures, coupled with customers reducing their in-person purchasing activity in light of health concerns or personal financial distress, have resulted in significant disruptions to retail businesses around the country, including in the markets in which we own retail assets. InOctober 2020 , we terminated the leases for Regal Cinemas inColumbus Village II (part of theTown Center of Virginia Beach ) andHarrisonburg, Virginia . We are evaluating potential uses for the existing buildings as well as potential redevelopment concepts at each location. We wrote off the accounts receivable for this tenant as an adjustment to rental revenue totaling$1.1 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2020 . As ofOctober 27, 2020 , we had collected 93% of retail tenant rent due for the third quarter of 2020 and 94% of retail tenant rent due forOctober 2020 . The October collections exclude rent due from the two subsequently terminated leases with Regal Cinemas. In addition to the amounts recorded for Regal Cinemas, the company recorded$0.4 million in bad debt charges for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2020 , which is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues and was primarily the result of retail tenant delinquencies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As ofSeptember 30, 2020 , we had the following significant known lease terminations: ABR per Leased Tenant Property Effective Date SF Impact ABR Impact SF Bed, Bath, & Beyond North Point Center 1/31/2021 30,000$ 300,000 $ 10.00 Bed, Bath, & Beyond Wendover Village 1/31/2021 33,696 404,352 12.00 Regal Cinemas (a) Columbus Village II 10/20/2020 51,545 995,334 19.31 Regal Cinemas (a) Harrisonburg Regal 10/25/2020 49,000 717,850 14.65 Bi-Lo (a) Socastee Commons 1/31/2021 46,673 492,400 10.55 Total/Weighted Average 210,914$ 2,909,936 $ 13.80

Table of Contents Multifamily Tenants As ofOctober 27, 2020 , we had collected 98% of multifamily tenant rent due for the third quarter of 2020 and 97% of multifamily tenant rent due forOctober 2020 . Data reported corresponds to tenant type and does not correspond to the reporting segment classification of the properties as a whole. Due to actions taken by state governments and limited working capacity for government courts and agencies, certain properties in our multifamily portfolio were subject to increased restrictions that limited our ability to evict tenants or charge late fees throughSeptember 30, 2020 . At this time, certain restrictions previously in place have been lifted and many government courts and agencies have re-opened; however, there may be similar restrictions and limited working capacity for government courts and agencies in the future. OnSeptember 4, 2020 , theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (the "CDC") issued an order to temporarily halt residential evictions to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 that effectively prohibits evictions for nonpayment throughDecember 31, 2020 nationwide for residential tenants who submit a signed copy of a declaration form to their landlords. The specific declaration form to be used was prepared by theCDC and attached to the order. The order does not, on its own, prevent landlords from filing suits, obtaining judgments, or filing writs. It only prevents landlords from carrying out evictions if the tenant submits the signed declaration form to the landlord. If the tenant does not provide the declaration, the tenant can be evicted. The order does not apply to evictions that are for reasons other than nonpayment rent. The penalties for an organization that violates the order include fines of up to$200,000.00 per event ($500,000.00 if the eviction results in death). The order does not relieve any individual of any obligation to pay rent or comply with any other obligation under a lease, nor does it preclude the charging or collecting of fees, penalties, or interest as a result of the failure to pay rent under the terms of a lease. The order does not apply to commercial tenants.

• City restrictions in place which prohibit rent increases, notices of
increases, or assessment of late fees during the
emergency. These restrictions will be in place until the governor's
state of emergency is lifted and for ninety (90) days thereafter. • State restrictions in place which prohibit evictions of tenants affected by COVID-19. Evictions cannot be processed until the state of emergency is terminated and the catastrophic health emergency is rescinded. The governor's state of emergency order was renewed again onJuly 31, 2020 . OnOctober 30, 2020 , the Company acquired 79% of the partnership that owns theResidences at Annapolis Junction . The same restrictions listed above for our properties inBaltimore, Maryland also apply to this property.

Construction and Development Business
As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, all of our construction jobsites remain open and operational, and we intend to continue third-party construction work unless government-imposed restrictions are implemented that prohibit or significantly restrict the continuation of construction work. As ofSeptember 30, 2020 , we had a third-party construction backlog of approximately$122.7 million . With respect to our development pipeline, we proactively deferred theChronicle Mill ,Southern Post , and Ten Tryon development projects in order to provide additional balance sheet flexibility until economic conditions stabilize, each of which had previously been scheduled to commence during the second quarter of 2020.The Summit Place project was completed inJune 2020 , and portions of theWills Wharf project were completed during the second quarter of 2020.The Wills Wharf project has sufficient construction loan commitments to fund the remaining estimated costs to complete; however, the disruption in global supply chains and our desire to prioritize the health and safety of our workforce may cause delays.

Solis Apartments at Interlock: This project is estimated to be completed during the second quarter of 2021. Current estimates of future operating results and projected sales proceeds from this project continue to support the full collection of our principal and interest upon sale of the project. Interlock Commercial: This project is estimated to be completed during the second quarter of 2021. InMay 2020 , we modified the mezzanine loan to allow for an additional$8.0 million of loan funding for purposes of building townhome units as an additional phase of this development project. Current estimates of future operating results and projected sales proceeds from this project continue to support the full collection of our principal and interest upon sale of the project. OnOctober 2, 2020 , we modified the loan to decrease the exit fee upon satisfaction of certain conditions that reduce our risk as a lender. There are no remaining funding commitments for the outstanding mezzanine loans. We continue to monitor leasing activity at these projects, as applicable, and will monitor the impact of COVID-19 on leasing activity and development activity at each of these projects.

Segment Results of Operations
As ofSeptember 30, 2020 , we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate, and (iv) general contracting and real estate services, which are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"). Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) ("NOI") is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States ("GAAP") and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of NOI to net income. We define same store properties as those properties that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is fully or partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the occupancy criterion above is again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.

The increase relates primarily to increased occupancy across the same store portfolio. Office same store NOI for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 decreased 3.4% compared to the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2019 . The decrease relates primarily to the relocation of the Company's construction division to space withinArmada Hoffler Tower which became vacant after a tenant chose to downsize. The Company's construction division previously occupied space at an adjacent property that is classified as retail for segment reporting purposes.
