A portion of the property can potentially be converted to office space, of which we obtain the right to occupy, in part. An entity owned by an immediate family member of our CEO also made an investment in the LLC for a 10% ownership, is the managing member and holds the right to purchase our interest in the LLC.

In 2021, we originated a $63.4 million bridge loan to a third party to purchase a multifamily property from a multifamily-focused commercial real estate investment fund sponsored and managed by our CEO and one of his immediate family members, which fund has no continued involvement with the property following the purchase.
