Executive Overview Business Description We develop, redevelop, acquire, own and operate multifamily apartment communities inNew England , theNew York /New Jersey metro area, the Mid-Atlantic, thePacific Northwest , and Northern andSouthern California , as well as in our expansion markets ofRaleigh-Durham andCharlotte, North Carolina ,Southeast Florida ,Dallas andAustin, Texas , andDenver, Colorado . We focus on leading metropolitan areas that we believe historically have been characterized by growing employment in high wage sectors of the economy, higher home ownership cost and a diverse and vibrant quality of life. We believe these market characteristics have offered and will continue to offer the opportunity for superior long-term risk-adjusted returns on apartment community investments relative to other markets that do not have these characteristics. We seek to create long-term shareholder value by accessing cost effective capital; deploying that capital to develop, redevelop and acquire apartment communities in our markets; leveraging our scale and competencies in technology and data science to operate apartment communities; and selling communities when they no longer meet our long-term investment strategy or when pricing is attractive. Our strategic vision is to be the leading apartment company in selectU.S. markets, providing a range of distinctive living experiences that customers value. We pursue this vision by targeting what we believe are among the best markets and submarkets, leveraging our strategic capabilities in market research and consumer insight with disciplined capital allocation and balance sheet management. Our communities are predominately upscale and generally command among the highest rents in their markets. However, we also pursue the ownership and operation of apartment communities that target a variety of customer segments and price points, consistent with our goal of offering a broad range of products and services. We regularly evaluate the market allocation of our investments by current market value and share of total revenue and NOI, as well as relative asset value and submarket positioning.
Second Quarter 2022 Operating Highlights
•Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 was$138,691,000 , a decrease of$309,262,000 , or 69.0%, from the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in real estate sales and related gains, partially offset by an increase in NOI from communities, over the prior year period. •Same Store NOI attributable to our apartment rental operations, including parking and other ancillary residential revenue ("Residential"), for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 was$391,626,000 , an increase of$56,763,000 , or 17.0%, over the prior year period. The increase over the prior year period was due to an increase in Residential rental revenues of$64,397,000 , or 12.9%, partially offset by an increase in Residential property operating expenses of$7,760,000 , or 4.8%. 25
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents COVID-19 Pandemic The impact on our consolidated results of operations from the Pandemic for future periods will depend, among other factors, on (i) the effect of the Pandemic on the multifamily industry and the general economy, including from measures taken by businesses and the government, such as governmental limitations on the ability of multifamily owners to evict residents who are delinquent in the payment of their rent, and (ii) the preferences of consumers and businesses for living and working arrangements both during and after the Pandemic.
Second Quarter 2022 Development Highlights

Communities Overview
Our real estate investments consist primarily of current operating apartment communities ("Current Communities"), consolidated and unconsolidated communities in various stages of development ("Development" communities and "Unconsolidated Development " communities) and Development Rights (as defined below). Our Current Communities are further classified as Same Store communities, Other Stabilized communities, Lease-Up communities, Redevelopment communities and Unconsolidated communities. While we generally establish the classification of communities on an annual basis, we update the classification of communities during the calendar year to the extent that our plans with regard to the disposition or redevelopment of a community change. The following is a description of each category:
Current Communities are categorized as Same Store, Other Stabilized, Lease-Up, Redevelopment, or Unconsolidated according to the following attributes:
•Same Store is composed of consolidated communities where a comparison of operating results from the prior year to the current year is meaningful as these communities were owned and had stabilized occupancy as of the beginning of the respective prior year period. For the six month periods endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, Same Store communities are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, had stabilized occupancy as ofJanuary 1, 2021 , are not conducting or are not probable to conduct substantial redevelopment activities and are not held for sale as ofJune 30, 2022 or probable for disposition to unrelated third parties within the current year. A community is considered to have stabilized occupancy at the earlier of (i) attainment of 90% physical occupancy or (ii) the one-year anniversary of completion of development or redevelopment. 26
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
•Other Stabilized is composed of completed consolidated communities that we own and that are not Same Store but that had stabilized occupancy, as defined above, as ofJanuary 1, 2022 , or which were acquired subsequent toJanuary 1, 2021 . Other Stabilized includes stabilized wholly-owned communities inCharlotte, North Carolina andDallas, Texas , the two new expansion markets we entered in 2021, but excludes communities that are conducting or are probable to conduct substantial redevelopment activities within the current year, as defined below.
•Lease-Up is composed of consolidated communities where construction has been complete for less than one year and that do not have stabilized occupancy.
•Redevelopment is composed of consolidated communities where substantial redevelopment is in progress or is probable to begin during the current year. Redevelopment is considered substantial when (i) capital invested during the reconstruction effort is expected to exceed the lesser of$5,000,000 or 10% of the community's pre-redevelopment basis and (ii) physical occupancy is below or is expected to be below 90% during, or as a result of, the redevelopment activity.
•Unconsolidated is composed of communities that we have an indirect ownership interest in through our investment interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.
Development is composed of consolidated communities that are either currently under construction, or were under construction and were completed during the current year. These communities may be partially or fully complete and operating.Unconsolidated Development is composed of communities that are either currently under construction, or were under construction and were completed during the current year, in which we have an indirect ownership interest through our investment interest in an unconsolidated joint venture. These communities may be partially or fully complete and operating. Development Rights are development opportunities in the early phase of the development process where we either have an option to acquire land or enter into a leasehold interest, where we are the buyer under a long-term conditional contract to purchase land, where we control the land through a ground lease or own land to develop a new community, or where we are the designated developer in a public-private partnership. We capitalize related pre-development costs incurred in pursuit of new developments for which we currently believe future development is probable.

Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased$309,262,000 , or 69.0%, to$138,691,000 and$189,441,000 , or 32.1%, to$400,735,000 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The decreases for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 are primarily due to decreases in real estate sales and related gains, partially offset by increases in NOI from communities, over the prior year periods. 29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents NOI is considered by management to be an important and appropriate supplemental performance measure to net income because it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of a community or communities prior to the allocation of any corporate-level or financing-related costs. NOI reflects the operating performance of a community and allows for an easier comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets. In addition, because prospective buyers of real estate have different financing and overhead structures, with varying marginal impact to overhead as a result of acquiring real estate, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets. We define NOI as total property revenue less direct property operating expenses (including property taxes), and excluding corporate-level income (including management, development and other fees), corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses, expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries, interest expense, net, gain on extinguishment of debt, net, general and administrative expense, income from investments in unconsolidated entities, depreciation expense, income tax (benefit) expense, casualty and impairment loss, gain on sale of communities, gain on other real estate transactions, net, net for-sale condominium activity and net operating income from real estate assets sold or held for sale. NOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance. NOI should also not be considered an alternative to net cash flow from operating activities, as determined by GAAP, as a measure of liquidity, nor is NOI indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Residential NOI represents results attributable to our apartment rental operations, including parking and other ancillary residential revenue.

The increase in our Same Store Residential NOI for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 is due to increases in Residential rental revenue of$64,397,000 , or 12.9%, and$106,366,000 , or 10.7%, respectively, partially offset by increases in Residential property operating expenses of$7,760,000 , or 4.8%, and$15,294,000 , or 4.7%, over the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively. Rental and other income increased$82,720,000 , or 14.7%, and$145,636,000 , or 13.1%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the increased rental revenue from our stabilized wholly-owned communities, discussed below. The Pandemic, and direct and indirect related economic, regulatory and operating impacts, may adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. If the financial condition of our residents and commercial tenants deteriorates, and/or regulations that limit our ability to evict residents and tenants continue or are adopted, that may result in higher than normal uncollectible lease revenue. The Pandemic may also depress consumer demand for our apartments for a variety of reasons, including (i) if consumers decide to live in markets that are less costly than ours for one or more reasons, such as a decline in their income, remote working arrangements, or if they cannot freely access neighborhood amenities like restaurants, gyms and entertainment venues; (ii) that consumers who would otherwise rent may seek home ownership; and (iii) ongoing downward pressures on demand for certain types of housing (e.g., corporate apartment homes) or by certain consumers (e.g., students or consumers who require seasonal job-related demand such as in the entertainment industry). Consolidated Communities - The weighted average number of occupied apartment homes for consolidated communities increased to 77,225 apartment homes for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to 74,999 homes for the prior year period. The weighted average monthly rental revenue per occupied apartment home increased to$2,709 for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 compared to$2,466 in the prior year period. Same Store rental revenue increased$65,838,000 , or 13.1%, and$109,121,000 , or 10.9% for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods. •Residential rental revenue increased$64,397,000 , or 12.9%, and$106,366,000 , or 10.7%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increases for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 was partially due to a reduction in uncollectible lease revenue of$8,883,000 and$13,885,000 , respectively. See below for a table detailing the change in Same Store Residential rental revenue by market for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , including the attribution of the change between rental rates and Economic Occupancy. •During the Pandemic we increased our use of residential concessions relative to concessions granted prior to 2020. While concessions granted remained slightly elevated relative to periods prior to 2020, concessions for our Same Store communities granted in the six months endedJune 30, 2022 decreased from the prior year period by$25,621,000 to$4,012,000 . We amortize concessions on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective leases (generally one year), reducing the income recognized over the lease term. With the decreased amount of concessions granted, the amortization of residential concessions for our Same Store communities also decreased. For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , amortized concessions decreased by$18,499,000 contributing to the increase in revenue as compared to the prior year period. The remaining net unamortized balance of Same Store residential concessions atJune 30, 2022 was$4,679,000 . •Commercial rental revenue increased$1,441,000 , or 31.6%, and$2,755,000 , or 29.4%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to the improved financial performance of our commercial tenants. 31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The following table presents the increase in Same Store Residential rental revenue by component, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the prior year periods (unaudited): For the three months

(1) Economic Occupancy takes into account the fact that apartment homes of different sizes and locations within a community have different economic impacts on a community's gross revenue. Economic Occupancy is defined as gross potential revenue less vacancy loss, as a percentage of gross potential revenue. Gross potential revenue is determined by valuing occupied homes at leased rates and vacant homes at market rents. Vacancy loss is determined by valuing vacant units at current market rents. Direct property operating expenses, excluding property taxes, increased$8,342,000 , or 7.2%, and$16,095,000 , or 7.0%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increases for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 are primarily due to the addition of newly developed and acquired apartment communities as well as increased operating expenses at our Same Store communities as discussed below. Same Store Residential direct property operating expenses, excluding property taxes, represents substantially all of total Same Store operating expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 . Same Store Residential direct property operating expenses, excluding property taxes, increased$7,536,000 , or 7.3%, and$13,422,000 , or 6.6%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increases for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 are primarily due to increased utilities and maintenance costs as well as bad debt associated with resident expense reimbursements. 32

Property taxes increased$1,417,000 , or 1.0%, for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the prior year period. The increase for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 is primarily due to the addition of newly developed and acquired apartment communities and increased assessments for our stabilized portfolio, partially offset by decreased property taxes from dispositions. Same Store Residential property taxes represents substantially all of total Same Store property taxes for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 . Same Store Residential property taxes increased$1,872,000 , or 1.6%, for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the prior year period. The increase for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 is due to increased assessments across the portfolio and the expiration of property tax incentive programs at certain of our properties inNew York City , partially offset by successful appeals in the current year period in excess of the prior year period. Corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses increased$6,425,000 , or 25.6%, and$9,933,000 , or 19.7%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to increased compensation related costs as well as costs related to increased investment in technology initiatives in the current year periods to improve future efficiency in services for residents and prospects. Expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries primarily reflect costs incurred for development pursuits not yet considered probable for development, as well as the abandonment of Development Rights and costs related to abandoned acquisition and disposition pursuits and any recoveries of costs incurred. These costs can be volatile, particularly in periods of increased acquisition pursuit activity, periods of economic downturn or when there is limited access to capital, and therefore may vary significantly from year to year. In addition, the timing for potential recoveries will not always align with the timing for expensing an abandoned pursuit. Expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries, increased$711,000 and$1,868,000 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Interest expense, net increased$2,693,000 , or 4.8%, and$6,606,000 , or 6.1%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods. This category includes interest costs offset by capitalized interest pertaining to development and redevelopment activity, amortization of premium/discount on debt, interest income, any mark to market impact from derivatives not in qualifying hedge relationships and the recognition of expected credit losses for the SIP. The increases for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 are primarily due to a decrease in capitalized interest, an increase in the amount of unsecured indebtedness and the recognition of the expected credit losses from our SIP, partially offset by a combination of a decrease in variable rates on, and amounts of, secured indebtedness. Depreciation expense increased$14,830,000 , or 8.0%, and$33,319,000 , or 9.1%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the addition of newly developed and acquired apartment communities, partially offset by dispositions. General and administrative expense ("G&A") increased$2,826,000 , or 15.3%, and$2,895,000 , or 8.1%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , as compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to increases in compensation related expenses in the current year periods. Casualty and impairment loss for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 consists of a$1,177,000 charge recognized for the property and casualty damages resulting from a fire at a wholly-owned community that occurred during the three months endedJune 30, 2021 . Income from investments in unconsolidated entities decreased$24,079,000 and$23,295,000 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the gain from the sale of the final two communities in theMultifamily Partners AC JV LP (the "AC JV") in the prior year periods. Gain on sale of communities decreased$334,165,000 and$239,092,000 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The amount of gain realized in a given period depends on many factors, including the number of communities sold, the size and carrying value of the communities sold and the market conditions in the local area. The gain of$149,204,000 for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 was primarily due to the sale of three wholly-owned communities. The gains of$334,569,000 and$388,296,000 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, were primarily due to the sale of six and seven wholly-owned communities, respectively. 33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Net for-sale condominium activity is a net expense of$71,000 and net gain of$165,000 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 and a net expense of$647,000 and$1,560,000 for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, and is comprised of the net gain before taxes on the sale of condominiums at The Park Loggia and associated marketing, operating and administrative costs. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , we sold 13 and 28 residential condominiums at The Park Loggia, for gross proceeds of$41,002,000 and$81,338,000 , respectively, resulting in a gain in accordance with GAAP of$467,000 and$1,469,000 , respectively. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , we sold 16 and 26 residential condominiums at The Park Loggia for gross proceeds of$38,392,000 and$53,001,000 , respectively, resulting in a gain in accordance with GAAP of$575,000 and$706,000 , respectively. In addition, we incurred$538,000 and$1,222,000 for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and$1,304,000 and$2,266,000 for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in marketing, operating and administrative costs.
Reconciliation of FFO and Core FFO
Consistent with the definition adopted by theBoard of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts® ("Nareit"), we calculate Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders ("FFO") as net income or loss attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for: •gains or losses on sales of previously depreciated operating communities; •cumulative effect of change in accounting principle; •impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate assets; •write-downs of investments in affiliates due to a decrease in the value of depreciable real estate assets held by those affiliates; •depreciation of real estate assets; and •similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, including those from a change in control. FFO and FFO adjusted for non-core items, or "Core FFO," as defined below, are generally considered by management to be appropriate supplemental measures of our operating and financial performance. In calculating FFO, we exclude gains or losses related to dispositions of previously depreciated property and exclude real estate depreciation, which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates. FFO can help with the comparison of the operating and financial performance of a real estate company between periods or as compared to different companies. By further adjusting for items that are not considered by us to be part of our core business operations, Core FFO can help with the comparison of the core operating performance year over year. We believe that in order to understand our operating results, FFO and Core FFO should be considered in conjunction with net income as presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.
We calculate Core FFO as FFO, adjusted for:
•joint venture gains (if not adjusted through FFO), non-core costs and promoted interests from partnerships; •casualty and impairment losses or gains, net on non-depreciable real estate; •gains or losses from early extinguishment of consolidated borrowings; •development pursuit write-offs and expensed transaction costs, net of recoveries; •third-party business interruption insurance proceeds and the related lost NOI that is covered by the expected third party business interruption insurance proceeds; •property and casualty insurance proceeds and legal settlement activity; •gains or losses on sales of assets not subject to depreciation and other investment gains or losses; •advocacy contributions, representing payments to promote our business interests; •hedge ineffectiveness or gains or losses from derivatives not designated as hedges for accounting purposes; •expected credit losses associated with the lending commitments under the SIP; •severance related costs; •executive transition compensation costs; •net for-sale condominium activity, including gains, marketing, operating and administrative costs and imputed carry cost; •income taxes; and •other non-core items. FFO and Core FFO do not represent net income in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income, which remains the primary measure, as an indication of our performance. In addition, FFO and Core FFO as calculated by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculations of FFO and Core FFO. 34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The following is a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO attributable to common stockholders and to Core FFO attributable to common stockholders (unaudited, dollars in thousands, except per share amounts): For the three months ended For the six months ended 6/30/2022 6/30/2021 6/30/2022 6/30/2021

FFO and Core FFO also do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities, as determined by GAAP, as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, it is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. 35

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We employ a disciplined approach to our liquidity and capital management. When we source capital, we take into account both our view of the most cost effective alternative available and our desire to maintain a balance sheet that provides us with flexibility. Our principal focus on near-term and intermediate-term liquidity is to ensure we have adequate capital to fund: •development and redevelopment activity in which we are currently engaged or in which we plan to engage; •the minimum dividend payments on our common stock required to maintain our REIT qualification under the Code; •debt service and principal payments either at maturity or opportunistically before maturity; •funding requests for borrowers under our SIP; •normal recurring operating expenses and corporate overhead expenses; and •investment in our operating platform, including strategic investments. Factors affecting our liquidity and capital resources are our cash flows from operations, financing activities and investing activities (including dispositions) as well as general economic and market conditions. Cash flows from operations are determined by operating activities and factors including but not limited to (i) the number of apartment homes currently owned, (ii) rental rates, (iii) occupancy levels, (iv) uncollectible lease revenue levels or interruptions in collections caused by market conditions and (v) operating expenses with respect to apartment homes. The timing and type of capital markets activity in which we engage is affected by changes in the capital markets environment, such as changes in interest rates or the availability of cost-effective capital. Our plans for development, redevelopment, non-routine capital expenditure, acquisition and disposition activity are affected by market conditions and capital availability. We frequently review our liquidity needs, especially in periods with volatile market conditions, as well as the adequacy of cash flows from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We had cash, cash equivalents and cash in escrow of$260,191,000 atJune 30, 2022 , a decrease of$283,597,000 from$543,788,000 atDecember 31, 2021 . The following discussion relates to changes in cash, cash equivalents and cash in escrow due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included elsewhere in this report. Operating Activities - Net cash provided by operating activities increased to$640,048,000 for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 from$568,629,000 for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , primarily due to increases in rental income, including the impact of uncollectible lease revenue.

Variable Rate Unsecured Credit Facility
We have a$1,750,000,000 revolving variable rate unsecured credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the "Credit Facility") which matures inFebruary 2024 . The Credit Facility bears interest at varying levels based on (i) the LIBOR applicable to the period of borrowing for a particular draw of funds from the facility (e.g., one month to maturity, three months to maturity, etc.) and (ii) the rating levels for our unsecured notes. The current stated pricing for drawn borrowings is LIBOR plus 0.775% per annum (3.14% atJuly 29, 2022 ), assuming a one month borrowing rate. The annual facility fee for the Credit Facility remained at 0.125%, resulting in a fee of$2,188,000 annually based on the$1,750,000,000 facility size and based on our current credit rating. We had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and had$6,914,000 outstanding in letters of credit that reduced our borrowing capacity as ofJuly 29, 2022 . In addition, we had$41,432,000 outstanding in additional letters of credit unrelated to the Credit Facility as ofJuly 29, 2022 .
Commercial Paper Program
InMarch 2022 , we established the Commercial Paper Program. Under the terms of the Commercial Paper Program, we may issue, from time to time, unsecured commercial paper notes with varying maturities of less than one year. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be issued, repaid and re-issued from time to time, with the maximum aggregate face or principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed$500,000,000 . The Commercial Paper Program is backstopped by our commitment to maintain available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to actual borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program. As ofJuly 29, 2022 , we had$175,000,000 outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program.
Financial Covenants
We are subject to financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility and the Commercial Paper Program, Term Loan and the indentures under which our unsecured notes were issued. The principal financial covenants include the following: •limitations on the amount of total and secured debt in relation to our overall capital structure; •limitations on the amount of our unsecured debt relative to the undepreciated basis of real estate assets that are not encumbered by property-specific financing; and •minimum levels of debt service coverage.
We were in compliance with these covenants at
In addition, some of our secured borrowings include yield maintenance, defeasance, or prepayment penalty provisions, which would result in us incurring an additional charge in the event of a full or partial prepayment of outstanding principal before the scheduled maturity. These provisions in our secured borrowings are generally consistent with other similar types of debt instruments issued during the same time period in which our borrowings were secured.
Continuous Equity Offering Program
InMay 2019 , we commenced CEP V under which we may sell (and/or enter into forward sale agreements for the sale of) up to$1,000,000,000 of our common stock from time to time. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined, including market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our determinations of the appropriate funding sources. We engaged sales agents for CEP V who receive compensation of up to 1.5% of the gross sales price for shares sold. We expect that, if entered into, we will physically settle each forward sale agreement on one or more dates prior to the maturity date of that particular forward sale agreement and to receive aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the number of shares underlying the particular forward agreement multiplied by the forward sale price. However, we may also elect to cash settle or net share settle a forward sale agreement. In connection with each forward sale agreement, we will pay the forward seller, in the form of a reduced initial forward sale price, a commission of up to 1.5% of the sales prices of all borrowed shares of common stock sold. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 and throughJuly 29, 2022 , we had no sales under this program. InDecember 2021 , we entered into a forward contract under CEP V to sell 68,577 shares of common stock for approximate proceeds of$16,000,000 net of offering fees and discounts and based on the initial forward price, with settlement of the forward contract to occur on one or more dates not later thanDecember 31, 2022 . The final proceeds will be determined 37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents on the date(s) of settlement after adjustments for our dividends and a daily interest factor. As ofJuly 29, 2022 , we had$705,961,000 remaining authorized for issuance under this program, after consideration of the forward contract.
Forward Equity Offering
In addition to CEP V, during the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , we completed an underwritten public offering of 2,000,000 shares of common stock offered in connection with forward contracts entered into with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers. Assuming full physical settlement of the forward contracts, which we expect to occur no later thanDecember 31, 2023 , we will receive approximate proceeds of$494,200,000 net of offering fees and discounts and based on the initial forward price. The final proceeds will be determined on the date(s) of settlement and are subject to certain customary adjustments for our dividends and a daily interest factor during the term of the forward contracts.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
As ofJune 30, 2022 , we had$150,000,000 in aggregate outstanding pay fixed interest rate swap agreements that were entered into as hedges of changes in interest rates for our anticipated debt issuance activity. At the time of the future debt issuance activity, we expect to cash settle the swaps and either pay or receive cash for the then current fair value. Assuming that we issue the debt as expected, the hedging impact from these positions will then be recognized over the life of the issued debt as a yield adjustment.
Stock Repurchase Program
InJuly 2020 , our Board of Directors approved the 2020 Stock Repurchase Program. Purchases of common stock under the 2020 Stock Repurchase Program may be exercised at our discretion with the timing and number of shares repurchased depending on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The 2020 Stock Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 and throughJuly 29, 2022 , we had no repurchases of shares under this program. As ofJuly 29, 2022 , we had$316,148,000 remaining authorized for purchase under this program.
Future Financing and Capital Needs - Debt Maturities and Material Obligations
One of our principal long-term liquidity needs is the repayment of long-term debt at maturity. For both our unsecured and secured notes, a portion of the principal of these notes may be repaid prior to maturity. Early retirement of our unsecured or secured notes could result in gains or losses on extinguishment. If we do not have funds on hand sufficient to repay our indebtedness as it becomes due, it will be necessary for us to refinance or otherwise provide liquidity to satisfy the debt at maturity. This refinancing may be accomplished by uncollateralized private or public debt offerings, equity issuances, additional debt financing that is secured by mortgages on individual communities or groups of communities or borrowings under our Credit Facility or Commercial Paper Program. In addition, to the extent we have amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program, we are obligated to repay the short-term indebtedness at maturity through either current cash on hand or by incurring other indebtedness, including by way of borrowing under our Credit Facility. Although we believe we will have the capacity to meet our currently anticipated liquidity needs, we cannot assure you that capital from additional debt financing or debt or equity offerings will be available or, if available, that they will be on terms we consider satisfactory.
During the six months ended
The following table details our consolidated debt obligations, including the effective interest rate and contractual maturity dates, and principal payments for periodic amortization and maturities for the next five years, excluding our Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program and amounts outstanding related to communities classified as held for sale, for debt outstanding atJune 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands).

39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents In addition to consolidated debt, we have scheduled contractual obligations associated with (i) ground leases for land underlying current operating or development communities and commercial and parking facilities and (ii) office leases for our corporate headquarters and regional offices. As ofJune 30, 2022 , other than as discussed in this Form 10-Q, there have been no other material changes in our scheduled contractual obligations as disclosed in our Form 10-K.
Future Financing and Capital Needs - Portfolio and Capital Markets Activity
We invest in various real estate and real estate related investments, which include (i) the acquisition, development and redevelopment of communities both wholly-owned and through the formation of joint ventures, (ii) investments in other real estate-related ventures through direct and indirect investments in property technology and environmentally focused companies and investment management funds and (iii) other indirect investments in real estate through the SIP, all as further discussed below. In 2022, we expect to meet our liquidity needs from one or more of a variety of internal and external sources, which may include (i) real estate dispositions, (ii) cash balances on hand as well as cash generated from our operating activities, (iii) borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, (iv) issuances under the Commercial Paper Program and (v) secured and unsecured debt financings. Additional sources of liquidity in 2022 may include the issuance of common and preferred equity, including the issuance of shares of our common stock under CEP V. Our ability to obtain additional financing will depend on a variety of factors, such as market conditions, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to the real estate industry, our credit ratings and credit capacity, as well as the perception of lenders regarding our long or short-term financial prospects. Before beginning new construction or reconstruction activity in 2022, including activity related to communities owned by unconsolidated joint ventures, we plan to source sufficient capital to complete these undertakings, although we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such financing. In the event that financing cannot be obtained, we may abandon Development Rights, write-off associated pre-development costs that were capitalized and/or forego reconstruction activity. In such instances, we will not realize the increased revenues and earnings that we expected from such Development Rights or reconstruction activity and significant losses could be incurred. From time to time we use joint ventures to hold or develop individual real estate assets. We generally employ joint ventures to mitigate asset concentration or market risk and secondarily as a source of liquidity. We may also use joint ventures related to mixed-use land development opportunities and new markets where our partners bring development and operational expertise and/or experience to the venture. Each joint venture or partnership agreement has been individually negotiated, and our ability to operate and/or dispose of a community in our sole discretion may be limited to varying degrees depending on the terms of the joint venture or partnership agreement. We cannot assure you that we will achieve our objectives through joint ventures. In evaluating our allocation of capital within our markets, we sell assets that do not meet our long-term investment criteria or when capital and real estate markets allow us to realize a portion of the value created over our ownership periods and redeploy the proceeds from those sales to develop and redevelop communities. Because the proceeds from the sale of communities may not be immediately redeployed into revenue generating assets that we develop, redevelop or acquire, the immediate effect of a sale of a community for a gain is to increase net income, but reduce future total revenues, total expenses and NOI until such time as the proceeds have been redeployed into revenue generating assets. We believe that the temporary absence of future cash flows from communities sold will not have a material impact on our ability to fund future liquidity and capital resource needs. 40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Unconsolidated Real Estate Investments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Development Rights AtJune 30, 2022 , we had$194,458,000 in acquisition and related capitalized costs for direct interests in eight land parcels we own. In addition, we had$51,227,000 in capitalized costs (including legal fees, design fees and related overhead costs) related to (i) 20 Development Rights for which we control the land parcel, typically through a conditional agreement or option to purchase or lease the land, as well as (ii) costs incurred for four Development Rights that are additional development phases of existing stabilized operating communities we own and which will be constructed on land currently adjacent to or directly associated with those operating communities for which we own the land. Collectively, the land held for development and associated costs for deferred development rights relate to 32 Development Rights for which we expect to develop new apartment communities in the future. The Development Rights range from those beginning design and architectural planning to those that have completed site plans and drawings and can begin construction almost immediately. We estimate that the successful completion of all of these communities would ultimately add approximately 10,913 apartment homes to our portfolio. Substantially all of these apartment homes will offer features like those offered by the communities we currently own. The Development Rights are in different stages of the due diligence and regulatory approval process. The decisions as to which of the Development Rights to invest in, if any, or to continue to pursue once an investment in a Development Right is made, are business judgments that we make after we perform financial, demographic and other analyses. In the event that we do not proceed with a Development Right, we generally would not recover any of the capitalized costs incurred in the pursuit of those communities, unless we were to recover amounts in connection with the sale of land; however, we cannot guarantee a recovery. Pre-development costs incurred in the pursuit of Development Rights for which future development is not yet considered probable are expensed as incurred. In addition, if the status of a Development Right changes, making future development no longer probable, any unrecoverable capitalized pre-development costs are charged to expense. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , we incurred a charge of$2,364,000 and$3,351,000 , respectively, for expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries, which include development pursuits that were not yet probable of future development at the time incurred, or for pursuits that we determined were no longer probable of being developed.
Structured Investment Program
During the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , we entered into the first commitments under the SIP, through which we provide mezzanine loans or preferred equity to third-party multifamily developers. The initial commitments under the SIP are for two mezzanine loans of up to$79,575,000 in the aggregate, to fund multifamily development projects inDenver, CO andPleasant Hill, CA. As ofJuly 29, 2022 , we have funded$8,188,000 of these commitments. You should carefully review Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K, as well as the discussion under Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this report, for a discussion of the risks associated with our investment activity. 44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Insurance and Risk of Uninsured Losses We maintain commercial general liability insurance and property insurance with respect to all of our communities, with insurance policies issued by a combination of third party insurers as well as a wholly-owned captive insurance company. These policies, along with other insurance policies we maintain, have policy specifications, insured and self-insured limits, exclusions and deductibles that we consider commercially reasonable. We utilize a wholly-owned captive insurance company to insure certain types and amounts of risks, which include property damage and resulting business interruption losses, general liability insurance and other construction related liability risks. The captive is utilized to insure other limited levels of risk, which may be in part reinsured by third party insurance. There are, however, certain types of losses (including, but not limited to, losses arising from nuclear liability, pandemic or acts of war) that are not insured, in full or in part, because they are either uninsurable or the cost of insurance makes it, in management's view, economically impractical. You should carefully review the discussion under Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K for a discussion of risks associated with an uninsured property or casualty loss. Our communities are insured for certain property damage and business interruption losses through a combination of community specific insurance policies and/or a master property insurance program which covers the majority of our communities. This master property program provides a$400,000,000 limit for any single occurrence and annually in the aggregate, subject to certain sub-limits and exclusions. Under the master property program, we are subject to various deductibles per occurrence, as well as additional self-insured retentions. In addition to our potential liability for the various policy self-insured retentions and deductibles, our captive insurance company is directly responsible for 100% of the first$25,000,000 of losses (per occurrence) and 10% of the second$25,000,000 of losses (per occurrence) incurred by the master property insurance policy. Our master property insurance program includes coverage for losses resulting from customary perils, including but not limited to wildfires and windstorms. Limits, deductibles, self-insured retentions and coverages may increase or decrease annually during the insurance renewal process, which occurs on different dates throughout the calendar year. Many of ourWest Coast communities are located within the general vicinity of active earthquake faults. Many of our communities are near, and thus susceptible to, the major fault lines inCalifornia , including the San Andreas Fault, the Hayward Fault or other geological faults that are known or unknown. We cannot assure you that an earthquake would not cause damage or losses greater than our current insured levels. We procure property damage and resulting business interruption insurance coverage with a loss limit of$175,000,000 for any single occurrence and in the annual aggregate for losses resulting from earthquakes subject to deductibles and self-insured retentions. However, for any losses resulting from earthquakes at communities located inCalifornia orWashington , the loss limit is$200,000,000 for any single occurrence and in the annual aggregate subject to deductibles and self-insured retentions. OurSoutheast Florida communities could be impacted by significant storm events like hurricanes. We include coverage for losses arising from these types of weather events within our master property insurance program. We cannot assure you that a significant storm event would not cause damage or losses greater than our current insured levels. Our communities and construction sites are insured for third-party liability losses through a combination of community specific insurance policies and/or coverage provided under a master commercial general liability and umbrella/excess insurance program. The master commercial general liability and umbrella/excess insurance policies cover the majority of our communities and construction sites and are subject to certain coverage limitations and exclusions, which the Company believes are commercially reasonable. After applicable self-insured retentions borne by us, our captive insurance company is directly responsible for the first$2,000,000 of losses (per occurrence) covered by the master general liability insurance policy. Just as with office buildings, transportation systems and government buildings, apartment communities could become targets of terrorism. Our communities are insured for terrorism related losses through theTerrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act ("TRIPRA") program. This coverage extends to most of our casualty exposures (subject to deductibles and insured limits) and certain property insurance policies. We have also purchased private-market insurance for property damage due to terrorism with limits of$600,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate that includes certain coverages (not covered under TRIPRA) such as domestic-based terrorism. This insurance, often referred to as "non-certified" terrorism insurance, is subject to deductibles, limits and exclusions. 45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents An additional consideration for insurance coverage and potential uninsured losses is mold growth or other environmental contamination. Mold growth may occur when excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. If a significant mold problem arises at one of our communities, we could be required to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected community and could be exposed to other liabilities. For further discussion of the risks and our related prevention and remediation activities, please refer to the discussion under Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors - We may incur costs due to environmental contamination or non-compliance" of our Form 10-K. We cannot provide assurance that we will have coverage under our existing policies for property damage or liability to third parties arising as a result of exposure to mold or a claim of exposure to mold at one of our communities. We also maintain other insurance programs that provide coverage for events including but not limited to employee dishonesty, loss of data, and liability associated with management of certain employee benefit plans. These policies are subject to maximum loss limits and include coverage limitations or exclusion that may preclude us from fully recovering.
The amount or types of insurance we maintain may not be sufficient to cover all losses and we may change our policy limits, coverages, and self-insured retentions or deductibles at any time.

We cannot assure the future results or outcome of the matters described in these statements; rather, these statements merely reflect our current expectations of the approximate outcomes of the matters discussed. We do not undertake a duty to update these forward-looking statements, and therefore they may not represent our estimates and assumptions after the date of this report. You should not rely on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should carefully review the discussion under Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this report, for further discussion of risks associated with forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that might cause such differences include those related to the Pandemic, including, among other factors, (i) the Pandemic's effect on the multifamily industry and the general economy, including from measures taken by businesses and the government, such as governmental limitations on the ability of multifamily owners to evict residents who are delinquent in the payment of their rent and (ii) the preferences of consumers and businesses for living and working arrangements both during and after the Pandemic. In addition, the effects of the Pandemic are likely to heighten the following risks, which we routinely face in our business.
Some of the factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
•we may fail to secure development opportunities due to an inability to reach agreements with third-parties to obtain land at attractive prices or to obtain desired zoning and other local approvals; •we may abandon or defer development opportunities for a number of reasons, including changes in local market conditions which make development less desirable, increases in costs of development, increases in the cost of capital or lack of capital availability, resulting in losses;
•construction costs of a community may exceed our original estimates;
•we may not complete construction and lease-up of communities under development or redevelopment on schedule, resulting in increased interest costs and construction costs and a decrease in our expected rental revenues;
•the timing and net proceeds of condominium sales at The Park Loggia may not equal our current expectations;
•occupancy rates and market rents may be adversely affected by competition and local economic and market conditions which are beyond our control;
•financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all, and our cash flows from operations and access to cost effective capital may be insufficient for the development of our pipeline which could limit our pursuit of opportunities;
•the impact of new landlord-tenant laws and rent regulations may be greater than we expect;
•our cash flows may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, and we may be unable to refinance existing indebtedness or the terms of such refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness;
•we may be unsuccessful in our management of joint ventures and the REIT vehicles that are used with certain joint ventures;
47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents •laws and regulations implementing rent control or rent stabilization, or otherwise limiting our ability to increase rents, charge fees or evict tenants, may impact our revenue or increase our costs;
•our expectations, estimates and assumptions as of the date of this filing regarding outstanding legal proceedings are subject to change;
•the possibility that we may choose to pay dividends in our stock instead of cash, which may result in stockholders having to pay taxes with respect to such dividends in excess of the cash received, if any; and •investments made under the SIP in either mezzanine debt or preferred equity of third-party multifamily development may not be repaid as expected or the development may not be completed on schedule, which could require us to engage in litigation, foreclosure actions, and/or first party project completion to recover our investment, which may not be recovered in full or at all in such event.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, or different assumptions were made, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, resulting in different financial results or a different presentation of our financial statements. Our critical accounting policies consist of the following: (i) cost capitalization and (ii) abandoned pursuit costs and asset impairment. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed materially from the discussion of our significant accounting policies found in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Form 10-K. 48
