100 Binney Street achieves $1 billion valuation milestone in recapitalization

During 1Q22, we completed the sale of a 70% interest in 100 Binney Street in our Cambridge/Inner Suburbs submarket of Greater Boston for a sales price of $713.2 million, or $2,353 per RSF, at capitalization rates of 3.6% and 3.5% (cash basis), representing an excess of $413.6 million above our book value of the 70% interest sold. The sales price at 100% represents a property valuation of $1.02 billion. Proceeds from this sale will be reinvested into our highly leased value-creation pipeline and acquisitions with development and redevelopment opportunities.

Continued high demand drives visibility for future growth aggregating $665 million of incremental annual rental revenue

Our highly leased value-creation pipeline of current and key near-term projects that are under construction or that will commence construction in the next six quarters is expected to generate greater than $665 million of incremental annual rental revenue, primarily commencing from 2Q22 through 1Q25.

  • 8.0 million RSF of our value-creation projects are either under construction or expected to commence construction in the next six quarters.
  • 77% leased/negotiating.

Strong and flexible balance sheet with significant liquidity

  • Investment-grade credit ratings ranked in the top 10% among all publicly traded U.S. REITs as of March 31, 2022.
  • Net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA of 5.5x and fixed-charge coverage ratio of 5.1x for 1Q22 annualized.
  • Total debt and preferred stock to gross assets of 28% as of March 31, 2022.
  • $5.7 billion liquidity as of March 31, 2022.

Continued dividend strategy to share growth in cash flows with stockholders

Common stock dividend declared for 1Q22 of $1.15 per common share, aggregating $4.54 per common share for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, up 24 cents, or 6%, over the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. Our FFO payout ratio of 57% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 allows us to continue to share growth in cash flows from operating activities with our stockholders while also retaining a significant portion for reinvestment.

About the Company

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE:ARE), an S&P 500® urban office real estate investment trust ("REIT"), is the first, longest-tenured, and pioneering owner, operator, and developer uniquely focused on collaborative life science, agtech, and technology campuses in AAA innovation cluster locations, with a total market capitalization of $42.8 billion and an asset base in North America of 74.2 million square feet ("SF") as of March 31, 2022. The asset base in North America includes 41.9 million RSF of operating properties and 5.4 million RSF of Class A properties undergoing construction, 10.4 million RSF of near-term and intermediate-term development and redevelopment projects, and 16.5 million SF of future development projects. Founded in 1994, Alexandria pioneered this niche and has since established a significant market presence in key locations, including Greater Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, Maryland, and Research Triangle. Alexandria has a longstanding and proven track record of developing Class A properties clustered in urban life science, agtech, and technology campuses that provide our innovative tenants with highly dynamic and collaborative environments that enhance their ability to successfully recruit and retain world-class talent and inspire productivity, efficiency, creativity, and success. Alexandria also provides strategic capital to transformative life science, agtech, and technology companies through our venture capital platform. We believe our unique business model and diligent underwriting ensure a high-quality and diverse tenant base that results in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value.
