difficult to predict, many of which are outside of our control.
Accordingly, actual performance, results and events may vary
materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements,
and you should not rely on the forward-looking statements as
predictions of future performance, results or events. Numerous
factors could cause actual future performance, results and events
to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements, including, among others: global market and general
economic conditions and their effect on our liquidity and financial
conditions and those of our tenants; adverse economic or real
estate conditions generally, and specifically, in the States of
California and Washington; risks associated with our investment in
real estate assets, which are illiquid, and with trends in the real
estate industry; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
any significant downturn in tenants’ businesses; our ability to
re-lease property at or above current market rates; costs to comply
with government regulations, including environmental remediation;
the availability of cash for distribution and debt service and
exposure to risk of default under debt obligations; increases in
interest rates and our ability to manage interest rate exposure;
the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which
may adversely impact our future interest expense and our ability to
pursue development, redevelopment and acquisition opportunities and
refinance existing debt; a decline in real estate asset valuations,
which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive
prices or obtain or maintain debt financing, and which may result
in write offs or impairment charges; significant competition, which
may decrease the occupancy and rental rates of properties;
potential losses that may not be covered by insurance; the ability
to successfully complete acquisitions and dispositions on announced
terms; the ability to successfully operate acquired, developed and
redeveloped properties; the ability to successfully complete
development and redevelopment projects on schedule and within
budgeted amounts; delays or refusals in obtaining all necessary
zoning, land use and other required entitlements, governmental
permits and authorizations for our development and redevelopment
properties; increases in anticipated capital expenditures, tenant
improvement and/or leasing costs; defaults on leases for land on
which some of our properties are located; adverse changes to, or
implementations of, applicable laws, regulations or legislation, as
well as business and consumer reactions to such changes; risks
associated with joint venture investments, including our lack of
sole decision-making authority, our reliance on co-venturers’
financial condition and disputes between us and our co-venturers;
environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters;
and our ability to maintain our status as a REIT. These factors are
not exhaustive and additional factors could adversely affect our
business and financial performance. For a discussion of additional
factors that could materially adversely affect our business and
