property investmentp yrr our overall strategy is to continue to increase our investment in quality industrial properties in both existing and select new markets and to continue to increase our investment in on-campus or hospital affiliated medical offf fice ff properties .pursuant to this strategy , we evaluate development and acquisition opportunities based upon our market yy outlook , including general economic conditions , supply and long-term growth potential .our ability to make future property investments is dependent upon identifying suitable acquisition and development opportunities , and our continued access to our longer-term sources of liquidity , including issuances of debt or equity securities as well asyy generating cash flow by disposing of selected properties .leasing/capital costsg p tenant improvements and lease-related costs pertaining to our initial leasing of newly completed space , or vacant tt space in acquired properties , are referred to as first generation expenditures .such first generation expenditures for tenant improvements are included within "development of real estate investments" in our consolidated statements of cash flows , while such expenditures for lease-related costs are included within "other deferred leasing costs." cash expenditures related to the construction of a building's shell , as well as the associated site improvements , are also included within "development of real estate investments" in our consolidated statements of cash flows .tenant improvements and leasing costs to re-let rental space that we previously leased to tenants are referred to as tt second generation expenditures .building improvements that are not specific to any tenant , but serve to improve integral components of our real estate properties , are also second generation expenditures .one of the principal uses of our liquidity is to fund the second generation leasing/capital expenditures of our real estate investments .the following table summarizes our second generation capital expenditures by type of expenditure , as well as capital expenditures for the development of real estate investments and for other deferred leasing costs ( in thousands ) : .
