Real Estate Investment Activity
During the third quarter, KRC executed a 15-year lease with creative workspace provider NeueHouse for the entire historical office component of its Columbia Square mixed-use development project located in Hollywood, CA, and a 12-year lease with cloud-storage and content management services provider Box Inc. for 100% of its Crossing/900 office project under construction in Redwood City, CA. With these transactions in place, 79% of KRC’s office development under construction was pre-leased.
In October, KRC commenced construction on a 73,000 square-foot office building, The Heights at Del Mar, located in the Del Mar submarket of San Diego. The company expects to invest approximately $45 million in the development project, which is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Within its existing development program, as of October 2014, KRC had six development projects under construction aggregating just under 2.1 million square feet with scheduled completion dates ranging from year-end 2014 through 2016. The company estimates its total investment in these six projects will be approximately $1.2 billion.
KRC also completed the sale of a 67,000 square-foot office property located in Irvine, CA, during the quarter, generating gross proceeds of approximately $15 million, and executed contracts to sell two additional properties located in San Rafael, CA, and Orange, CA, that together total 229,000 square feet and are expected to generate aggregate proceeds of approximately $60 million. The two transactions are anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Financing Activity
In August, KRC issued $400.0 million of unsecured senior notes in an underwritten public offering. The notes pay interest semi-annually at 4.25% and mature in August 2029. During the quarter, the company also repaid all $83.0 million of its Series B unsecured senior notes upon maturity in August, as well as $37.0 million of its 4.25% Exchangeable Notes due November 2014 as a result of early redemptions.
Management Comments
“With our West Coast real estate markets among the most dynamic in the nation, KRC’s operating teams are delivering strong results across all our strategic priorities,” said John Kilroy, Jr., the company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Vacancies within our stabilized portfolio are now at frictional levels, our active office development pipeline at quarter end was approximately 79% pre-leased, and our same-store operating results have benefited from rising rents. Equally important, our unrelenting focus on top quality, contemporary office space located in highly sought after urban locales is strengthening the KRC franchise among our potential tenants and enhancing the long-term value of our portfolio.”

________________________
(1) We calculate FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets.
We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.
Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide.
However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.
(2) FFO includes amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements of $2.7 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $7.7 million and $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
(3) Reported amounts are attributable to common stockholders and common unitholders.
