You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I-Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q.
Overview of Our Company
Clipper Realty Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) is a self-administered and self-managed real estate company that acquires, owns, manages, operates and repositions multifamily residential and commercial properties in the New York metropolitan area, with a current portfolio in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Our primary focus is to own, manage and operate our portfolio and to acquire and reposition additional multifamily residential and commercial properties in the New York metropolitan area. The Company has been organized and operates in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the U.S. federal income tax law and elected to be treated as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company owned:
- two neighboring residential/retail rental properties at 50 Murray Street and 53 Park Place in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan;
- one residential property complex in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn consisting of 59 buildings;
- two primarily commercial properties in Downtown Brooklyn (one of which includes 36 residential apartment units);
- one residential/retail rental property at 1955 1st Avenue in Manhattan;
- one residential rental property at 107 Columbia Heights in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn;
- one residential rental property at 1010 Pacific Street in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn; and
- one residential rental property at 953 Dean Street, in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.
On May 30, 2025, the Company completed the sale of 10 West 65th Street in Manhattan, a 6-story residential building with approximately 76,000 square feet of residential rental GLA. for gross proceeds of $45,500. The Company incurred $1,900 in closing costs and paid $800 in accrued interest at closing. At closing, the Company repaid in full its $31,200 mortgage note (the “Mortgage”) with Flagstar Bank (“Flagstar”) (see note 4 above). The Company recorded a loss on the disposal of long-lived assets of $685 in conjunction with closing of the sale in the second quarter of 2025, after previously recording a loss on impairment of long-lived assets of $33,780 in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
These properties are located in the most densely populated major city in the United States, each with immediate access to mass transportation.
The Company’s ownership interest in its initial portfolio of properties, which includes the Tribeca House, Flatbush Gardens and the two Livingston Street properties, was acquired in the formation transactions in connection with the private offering. These properties are owned by the LLC subsidiaries, which are managed by the Company through the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s interests in the LLC subsidiaries generally entitle the Operating Partnership to all cash distributions from, and the profits and losses of, the LLC subsidiaries other than the preferred distributions to the continuing investors who hold Class B LLC units in these LLC subsidiaries. The continuing investors own an aggregate amount of 26,317,396 Class B LLC units, representing 62.1% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis. Accordingly, the Operating Partnership’s interests in the LLC subsidiaries entitle the Operating Partnership to receive 37.9% of the aggregate distributions from the LLC subsidiaries. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, owns all the ownership interests in the Aspen property, the Clover House property, the 1010 Pacific Street property and the Dean Street property.
How We Derive Our Revenue
Our revenue consists primarily of rents received from our residential, commercial and, to a lesser extent, retail tenants. We have two reportable operating segments, Residential Rental Properties and Commercial Rental Properties. See Note 9, “Segment Reporting” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Trends
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s residential properties continued to have elevated occupancy levels and experienced growth in rental rates, as a result of a robust rental market in the New York metro area. The average rental rate per square foot at the Tribeca House property at March 31, 2026, was $89.64, up from $83.03 at March 31, 2025. At the Flatbush Gardens property, average residential rent per square foot at March 31, 2026 was $32.67, up from $30.80 at March 31, 2025. At the Clover House property, average residential rent per square foot at March 31, 2026 was $90.44, up from $86.74 at March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s office property 250 Livingston Street was vacant as the City of New York vacated as of August 23, 2025. The Company is currently seeking new tenants to replace the City of New York. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to replace the City of New York as its tenant or will be able to replace it at comparable rents. Until a new tenant is located, the Company expects to lose approximately $16,000 per annum in combined rental income and property tax and common area maintenance reimbursements and the property will not be able to fund its debt service.
Additionally, our lease with the City of New York at 141 Livingston expired in December 2025, although the City of New York continues to occupy its office space and pays its rent in accordance with the terms of the expired lease. The Company and the City of New York are negotiating the terms of a five-year extension of their expired lease. There can be no assurance that the negotiations will conclude with an agreement, and the Company is at risk of not replacing the City of New York as its tenant or not being able to replace it at comparable rents. See note 4 to condensed consolidated financial statements, “- Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
Throughout the first three months of 2026 and all of 2025, we continued to benefit from relatively low interest rates on our debt. Our weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2026, was approximately 4.2% per annum.
Results of Operations
Our focus throughout 2025 and year-to-date 2026 has been to manage our properties to optimize revenues and control costs, while continuing to renovate and reposition certain properties. The discussion below highlights the specific properties contributing to the changes in the results of operations and focuses on the properties that were in operation for the full period in each comparison and excludes the results of 10 West 65th Street due to its sale on May 30, 2025, and 953 Dean Street which was put into service on August 1, 2025.

27
Revenue. Residential rental income increased to $30,201 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $28,120 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to increases in rental rates and leased occupancy at all properties in 2026 and slightly lower bad debt expense. For example, The average rental rate per square foot at the Tribeca House property at March 31, 2026, was $89.64, up from $83.03 at March 31, 2025. At the Flatbush Gardens property, average residential rent per square foot at March 31, 2026 was $32.67, up from $30.80 at March 31, 2025. At the Clover House property, average residential rent per square foot at March 31, 2026 was $90.44, up from $86.74 at March 31, 2025.
Commercial rental income decreased to $6,206 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $10,205 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to the City of New York exiting 250 Livingston on August 23, 2025.
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses include property-level costs such as compensation costs for property-level personnel, repairs and maintenance, supplies, utilities and landscaping. Property operating expenses increased to $10,027 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $9,911 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher repairs and maintenance and utilities expenses partially offset by lower payroll, legal costs and supplies.
Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance expenses increased to $7,545 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $7,349 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to slightly increased real estate taxes across the portfolio.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased to $3,947 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $3,707 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the accrual of various fees related to our default on the 250 Livingston building.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $7,306 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $7,346 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Litigation Settlement and other. Litigation settlement and other increased to $3,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to the accrual of a loss reserve on the Sanchez litigation case.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, increased to $12,783 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $10,964 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily as a result of the Company accruing default interest on the 250 Livingston loan.
Net loss. As a result of the foregoing, net loss increased to $8,801 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $952 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, we had $1,285,799 of indebtedness, net of unamortized issuance costs, secured by our properties, $26,083 of cash and cash equivalents, and $28,568 of restricted cash. See Note 4, “Notes Payable” of our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company’s property-level debt.
As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to stockholders on an annual basis. We expect that these needs will be met by cash generated from operations and other sources, including proceeds from secured mortgages and unsecured indebtedness, proceeds from additional equity issuances and cash generated from the sale of property.
Short-Term and Long-Term Liquidity Needs
Our short-term liquidity needs will primarily be to fund operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures, property taxes and insurance, interest and scheduled debt principal payments, general and administrative expenses, and distributions to stockholders and unit holders. We generally expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and cash on hand, and we believe we will have sufficient resources to meet our short-term liquidity requirements
Our principal long-term liquidity needs will primarily be to fund additional property acquisitions, major renovation and upgrading projects, and debt payments and retirements at maturity. We do not expect that net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet all of these long-term liquidity needs. We anticipate meeting our long-term liquidity requirements by using cash as an interim measure and funds from public and private equity offerings and long-term secured and unsecured debt offerings. The Company sold its property at 10 West 65th Street during the year ended December 31, 2025, and was able to net approximately $13,000 in proceeds from such sale. Additionally, the Company refinanced its existing construction loan at its Dean Street property with a maximum of $160,000 bridge loan, of which $141,750 was drawn at closing, an additional $6,250 was subsequently drawn and the Company may potentially draw additional amounts that can be used for general corporate purposes.
We believe that as a publicly traded REIT, we will have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements. These sources include the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity. However, we cannot provide assurance that this will be the case. Our ability to secure additional debt will depend on a number of factors, including our cash flow from operations, our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed. Our ability to access the equity capital markets will depend on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about our company.
We believe that our current cash flows from operations and cash on hand, coupled with additional mortgage debt, will be sufficient to allow us to continue operations, satisfy our contractual obligations and make distributions to our stockholders and the members of our LLC subsidiaries for at least the next twelve months. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able to refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness in the future on favorable terms or at all.
Distributions
In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must currently distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. On February 24, 2026, the company declared dividends and distributions on our common shares, Class B LLC units and LTIP units totaling $4,712 paid on March 19, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we paid dividends and distributions on our common shares, Class B LLC units and LTIP units totaling $4,712 and $4,614, respectively.
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands)
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating activities | $3,568 | $6,676 |
| Investing activities | (1,925) | (9,680) |
| Financing activities | (5,146) | 5,543 |
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were as follows:
Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $3,568 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $6,676 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the Company having less cash collections at our commercial rental properties as a result the 250 Livingston vacancy described above.
Net cash used by investing activities was $1,925 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9,680 used for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreased capital spending at the Dean Street development as it was completed in 2025.
Net cash used by financing activities was $5,146 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to ($5,543) provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash was used in the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily by dividends and distributions of $4,712 and loan amortization payments of $434. Cash was provided in the three months ended March 31, 2025, by $6,371 borrowings related to the Dean Street property development, partially offset by $578 of loan amortization payments and loan issuance costs of $250
Income Taxes
No provision has been made for income taxes since all of the Company’s operations are held in pass-through entities and accordingly the income or loss of the Company is included in the individual income tax returns of the partners or members.
We elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, beginning with our first taxable three months ended March 31, 2015. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. We believe that we are organized and operate in a manner that will enable us to qualify and be taxed as a REIT and we intend to continue to operate to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
Inflation
Inflation has recently become a factor in the United States economy and has increased the cost of acquiring, developing, replacing and operating properties. A substantial portion of our interest costs relating to operating properties are fixed through 2027. Leases at our residential rental properties, which comprise approximately 79% of our revenue, are short-term in nature and permit rent increases to recover increased costs, and our longer-term commercial and retail leases generally allow us to recover some increased operating costs.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we disclose and discuss funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and net operating income (“NOI”), all of which meet the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.
While management and the investment community in general believe that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors, neither FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, nor NOI should be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income from operations as an indication of our performance. We believe that to understand our performance further, FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and NOI should be compared with our reported net income (loss) or income from operations and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations
FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment adjustments, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by NAREIT.
AFFO is defined by us as FFO excluding amortization of identifiable intangibles incurred in property acquisitions, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization costs incurred in originating debt, interest rate cap mark-to-market adjustments, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt, gain on involuntary conversion, gain on termination of lease, impairment of long-lived assets, disposals of long-lived assets and certain litigation-related expenses, less recurring capital spending.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation and valuation adjustments from net income. We consider FFO useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring operating performance. We further consider AFFO useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent net income (loss) or cash flows from operations computed in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income (loss) as reliable measures of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as measures of liquidity.
Neither FFO nor AFFO measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities computed in accordance with GAAP. Further, FFO and AFFO as disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculations of FFO and AFFO.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the Company’s FFO and AFFO for the periods presented to net loss, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):
| FFO | Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Net loss | $(11,144) | $(35,103) |
| Real estate depreciation and amortization | 7,979 | 7,636 |
| FFO | $(3,165) | $(27,467) |
| AFFO | ||
| FFO | $(3,165) | $(27,467) |
| Amortization of real estate tax intangible | 120 | 120 |
| Straight-line rent adjustments | (197) | 22 |
| Amortization of debt origination costs | 869 | 457 |
| Amortization of LTIP awards | 1,086 | 1,143 |
| Impairment of long lived assets | — | 33,780 |
| Litigation settlement and other | 3,600 | |
| Recurring capital spending | (60) | (35) |
| AFFO | $2,253 | $8,020 |
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before allocation to non-controlling interests, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of identifiable intangibles, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, interest expense (net), acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt, impairment of long-lived assets, disposals of long-lived assets and certain litigation-related expenses, less gain on involuntary conversion and gain on termination of lease.
We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful financial measure of our core operating performance.
However, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Adjusted EBITDA, and accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented to net loss, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):
| Adjusted EBITDA | Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Net loss | $(11,144) | $(35,103) |
| Real estate depreciation and amortization | 7,979 | 7,636 |
| Amortization of real estate tax intangible | 120 | 120 |
| Straight-line rent adjustments | (197) | 22 |
| Amortization of LTIP awards | 1,086 | 1,143 |
| Interest expense, net | 15,546 | 11,522 |
| Impairment of long-lives assets | — | 33,780 |
| Litigation settlement and other | 3,600 | — |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $16,990 | $19,120 |
Net Operating Income
We believe that NOI is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as income from operations plus real estate depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, amortization of identifiable intangibles and straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, impairment of long-lived assets less gain on termination of lease. We believe that this measure is widely recognized and provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We use NOI to evaluate our performance because NOI allows us to evaluate the operating performance of our company by measuring the core operations of property performance and capturing trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. NOI is also a widely used metric in valuation of properties.
However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of NOI for the periods presented to income from operations, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):
| NOI | Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Income from operations | $4,402 | $(23,581) |
| Real estate depreciation and amortization | 7,979 | 7,636 |
| General and administrative expenses | 4,107 | 3,825 |
| Amortization of real estate tax intangible | 120 | 120 |
| Straight-line rent adjustments | (197) | 22 |
| Impairment of long -lived assets | — | 33,780 |
| Litigation settlement and other | 3,600 | — |
| NOI | $20,011 | $21,802 |
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three months ended December 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Market risk
As filed, 1,059 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Our future income, cash flows and fair value relevant to our financial instruments depend upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Based upon the nature of our operations, the principal market risk to which we are exposed is the risk related to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control, contribute to interest rate risk.
A one percent change in interest rates on our $148.0 million of variable rate debt as of March 31, 2026, would impact annual net loss by approximately $1.5 million.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had one interest rate cap with US Bank that caps the SOFR portion of the interest rate on the 953 Dean Street Loans at 6%.
The fair value of the Company’s notes payable was approximately $1,285.8 million and $1,267.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively
Controls and procedures
As filed, 1,592 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2026. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, and summarized, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
We continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Risk factors
As filed, 4,860 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
The risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, set forth information relating to various risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, and operating results. Such risk factors continue to be relevant to an understanding of our business, financial condition, liquidity and operating results as of March 31, 2026, and there have been no material changes to those risk factors for the three months ended March 31, 2026 except for the following updates:
Our dependency on two commercial leases with certain agencies of the City of New York (NYC), as a single government tenant in our office buildings, with one lease having terminated effective August 23, 2025, and the other lease having expired on December 27, 2025 and our inability to replace NYC as a tenant at rent rates comparable to the rates in the lease that terminated in August 2025 or to enter into a five-year extension of the lease that expired in December 2025 could cause a material adverse effect on us, including our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Our rental revenue depends on entering into leases with and collecting rents from tenants. As of March 31, 2026, Kings County Court, the Human Resources Administration, and the Department of Environmental Protection, all of which are agencies of the City of New York, (i) occupied all 206,084 of rentable square feet at 141 Livingston Street, subject to hold-over rent provisions in the lease that expired on December 27, 2025 and (ii) terminated its lease and vacated all 342,496 rentable square feet of commercial space at our 250 Livingston Street effective August 23, 2025. . Our commercial leases with the City of New York comprised approximately 11% and 21% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We are also subject to covenants covering these leases in our loan agreements related to our commercial office properties located at 250 Livingston Street and 141 Livingston Street. See Note 4, Notes Payable, to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in Part I of this Form 10-Q for information related to 141 Livingston Street property and 250 Livingston Street property.
As of February 23, 2024, The City of New York, a municipal corporation acting through the Department of Citywide Administrative Services ("NYC”), notified us of its intention to terminate its lease at 250 Livingston Street effective August 23, 2025, and they vacated the space on that date. The lease generally provided for rent payments in the amount of $15.4 million per annum.
Our subsidiary, 250 Livingston Owner LLC (“Borrower”), entered into the Loan Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2019 (the “Loan Agreement”), with Citi Real Estate Funding Inc., related to a loan in the principal amount of $125 million (the “Loan”). The Loan is evidenced by certain promissory notes (the “Notes”) and secured by our 250 Livingston Street property in Brooklyn, New York (the “Property”). We and our Operating Partnership serve as guarantors of certain obligations under the Loan.
On March 25, 2026, the Lender filed a complaint against the Borrower, the Company and the Company’s subsidiary Clipper Realty L.P. due to the Borrower’s defaults under the Notes and the other Loan documents. The Plaintiff demanded, among other things, that a receiver be appointed to manage the Property and that the Property and the personal property within the Property be sold and the proceeds be applied to the satisfaction of indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and other Loan documents. On April 29, 2026, the court entered an order granting the Lender's demand to appoint a temporary receiver. Pursuant to the court order, the receiver is authorized to enter into the possession of the Property, to rent or lease any part of the premises, to collect and receive all rents and fees due and unpaid in connection with the premises, and the Company must turn over to the receiver all rents collected from and after the date of the court order..
The Company is in the process of negotiating a Consent and Cooperation Agreement with the Lender for the sale of the Loan. There can be no assurance that such Consent and Cooperation Agreement will be consummated.
We have been unable to replace the NYC as a tenant, and, even if we enter into the Consent and Cooperation Agreement with the Lender, we may continue to be unable to replace the NYC with other commercial tenants at comparable rent rates or at all, may incur substantial costs to improve the vacated space or may have to offer significant inducements to fill the space, all of which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
