Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial, business, legal or other outcomes including business and market conditions, outlook and other similar statements relating to Regency's future events, developments, or financial or operational performance or results, are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "could," "should," "would," "expect," "estimate," "believe," "intend," "forecast," "project," "plan," "anticipate," "guidance," and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. While we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance these expectations will be attained, and it is possible actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risk factors, including, without limitation, risk factors relating to:
•
the current economic and geopolitical environments
•
pandemics or other health crises
•
operating retail-based shopping centers
•
real estate investments
•
the environment affecting our properties
•
corporate matters
•
our partnerships and joint ventures
•
funding strategies and capital structure
•
information management and technology
•
taxes and the Parent Company’s qualification as a REIT
•
the Company’s stock
As more specifically described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("2025 Form 10-K") and in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Report. When considering an investment in our securities, you should carefully read and consider these risks, together with all other information in our most recent 2025 Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and our other filings with and submissions to the SEC. If any of the events described in the risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results, as well as the market price of our securities, could be materially adversely affected.
Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and Regency undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise, except as and to the extent required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the required Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") presentations, we use and report certain non-GAAP financial measures as we believe these measures improve the understanding of our operational results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP financial measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change.
We do not consider non-GAAP financial measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, rather they supplement GAAP measures by providing additional information we believe to be useful to our shareholders. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management's judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations, or future prospects of the Company.
29
Our non-GAAP financial measures include the following:
•
Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") is an additional performance measure we use that reflects cash available to fund the Company’s business needs and distribution to shareholders. AFFO is calculated by adjusting Core Operating Earnings ("COE") for (i) capital expenditures necessary to maintain and lease our portfolio of properties, (ii) debt cost and derivative adjustments and (iii) stock-based compensation.
•
Core Operating Earnings is an additional non-GAAP performance measure that adjusts Nareit Funds from Operations ("Nareit FFO") to exclude certain non-cash and other items that impact the comparability of the Company's period-over-period performance. Core Operating Earnings excludes from Nareit FFO: (i) certain income or expenses related to non-comparable events and transactions; (ii) gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt; (iii) certain non-cash items derived from straight-line rents, above and below market rent amortization, and debt and derivative mark-to-market amortization, and (iv) other non-cash or non-comparable amounts as they occur.
•
Nareit Funds from Operations ("Nareit FFO") is a commonly used measure of REIT performance, which Nareit defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains on sales and impairments of real estate, net of tax, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships and joint ventures. We compute Nareit FFO for all periods presented in accordance with Nareit's definition.
Companies use different depreciable lives and methods, and real estate values historically fluctuate with market conditions. Since Nareit FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and gains on sale and impairments of real estate, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in percent leased, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities, and financing costs. This provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Thus, Nareit FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP; and, therefore, should not be considered a substitute measure of cash flows from operations.
•
Net Operating Income ("NOI") is the sum of base rent, percentage rent, termination fee income, tenant recoveries, other lease income, and other property income, less operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, ground rent, termination expense, and uncollectible lease income. NOI excludes straight-line rental income and expense, above and below market rent and ground rent amortization, tenant lease inducement amortization, and other fees.
Management believes that NOI is a useful measure for investors because it provides insight into the core operations and performance of our properties, independent of the capital structure, financing activities, and non-operating factors. By focusing on property-level performance, NOI allows investors to compare the performance of our real estate assets across periods and with those of other REIT peers in the industry, facilitating a clearer understanding of trends in occupancy, rental income, and operating expense management. In addition to its relevance for investors, management uses NOI as a key performance metric in making operational and strategic decisions. NOI is used to evaluate income generated from shopping centers (i.e., return on assets) and to guide decisions on capital investments. These decisions may include acquisitions, redevelopments, and investments in capital improvements.
•
Pro-rata information includes 100% of our consolidated properties plus our economic share (based on our ownership interest) in our unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships.
We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships, when read in conjunction with our reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, operating results, and other metrics, along with certain other non-GAAP financial measures, makes comparisons of our operating results to those of other REITs more meaningful. The Pro-rata information provided is not, nor is it intended to be, presented in accordance with GAAP. The Pro-rata supplemental details of assets and liabilities and supplemental details of operations reflect our proportionate economic ownership of the assets, liabilities, and operating results of the properties in our portfolio.
The Pro-rata information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts and is intended to more accurately reflect our proportionate economic interest in the assets, liabilities, and operating results of properties in our portfolio. We do not control the unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships, and the Pro-rata presentations of the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses do not represent our legal claim to such items. The partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the operating agreements, which generally provide for such allocations according to their invested capital. Our share of invested capital establishes the ownership interests we use to prepare our Pro-rata share.
30
The presentation of Pro-rata information has limitations which include, but are not limited to, the following:
o
The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and
o
Other companies in our industry may calculate their Pro-rata interest differently, limiting the comparability of Pro-rata information.
Because of these limitations, the Pro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the Pro-rata information as a supplement.
•
Same Property NOI is a key non-GAAP financial measure commonly used by REITs to evaluate operating performance. It is calculated on a Pro-rata ownership basis for properties owned and operated for the entirety of both the current and prior comparable reporting periods.
Same property NOI includes revenues and operating expenses associated with these properties but excludes items that are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. These include, without limitation, termination fees, as well as corporate-level expenses, financing costs, and other non-operating items.
Management believes this measure provides investors with a useful and consistent comparison of the Company’s operating performance and trends. Management uses Same Property NOI as a supplemental measure to assess property-level performance and to compare the performance of its stabilized property portfolio across reporting periods. This measure allows investors to evaluate trends in revenue and expense growth for properties that have been consistently operated during the periods.
Other Defined Terms
The following terms, as defined, are commonly used by management and the investing public to understand, and evaluate our operational results, and are included in this document:
•
Anchor Space is space equal to or greater than 10,000 square feet in a Retail Operating Property.
•
Development Completion is a Property in Development that is deemed complete upon the earlier of: (i) 90% of total estimated net development costs have been incurred and percent leased equals or exceeds 95%, or (ii) the property features at least two years of anchor operations. Once deemed complete, the property is termed a Retail Operating Property.
•
A Non-Same Property is any property, during either calendar year period being compared, that was acquired, sold, a Property in Development, a Development Completion, or a property under, or being positioned for, significant redevelopment that distorts comparability between periods. Non-retail properties and corporate activities, including the captive insurance program, are part of Non-Same Property.
•
Property In Development includes properties in various stages of ground-up development.

Overview of Our Strategy
Regency Centers Corporation began operations as a publicly-traded REIT in 1993. All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through our Operating Partnership, Regency Centers, L.P. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through our real estate partnerships. As of June 30, 2026, the Parent Company owned approximately 97.9% of the outstanding Common Units and 100% of the Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership.
We are a preeminent national owner, operator, and developer of neighborhood and community shopping centers predominantly located in suburban trade areas with compelling demographics. As of June 30, 2026, we had full or partial ownership interests in 482 retail properties. Our properties are high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers primarily anchored by market leading grocers and principally located in suburban markets within the country's most desirable metro areas, and contain approximately 58.8 million square feet ("SF") of GLA. Our mission is to create thriving environments for retailers and service providers to connect with surrounding neighborhoods and communities. Our vision is to elevate quality of life as an integral thread in the fabric of our communities.
Our portfolio includes thriving properties merchandised with highly productive grocers, restaurants, service providers, and best-in-class retailers that connect with their neighborhoods, communities, and customers.
Our values:
•
We are our people: Our people are our greatest asset, and we believe that our highly skilled and talented team makes us better.
•
We do what is right: We act with unwavering standards of honesty and integrity.
•
We connect with our communities: We promote philanthropic ideas and strive for the betterment of our neighborhoods by giving our time and financial support.
•
We are responsible: Our duty is to balance purpose and profit, being good stewards of capital and the environment for the benefit of all our stakeholders.
•
We strive for excellence: When we are passionate about what we do, it is reflected in our performance.
•
We are better together: When we listen to each other and our customers, we will succeed together.
Our goals are to:
•
Own and manage a portfolio of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers anchored primarily by market leading grocers and principally located in suburban trade areas in the most desirable metro areas in the United States. We believe that this strategy will result in highly desirable and attractive centers with best-in-class retailers. These centers should command higher rental and occupancy rates resulting in excellent prospects to grow NOI;
•
Create shareholder value by increasing earnings and dividends per share that generate total returns at or near the top of our shopping center peers;
•
Maintain an industry leading, disciplined development and redevelopment platform to create exceptional retail centers that deliver favorable returns; and
•
Support our business activities with a conservative capital structure, including a strong balance sheet with sufficient liquidity to meet our capital needs together with a carefully constructed debt maturity profile.
Executing on our Strategy
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had Net income attributable to common shareholders of $237.5 million as compared to $208.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026:
•
T1Our Same property NOI grew 4.1%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily attributable to improvements in base rent and recoveries from increases in year over year occupancy rates, contractual rent steps in existing leases, and positive rent spreads on comparable new and renewal leases.
•
T2We executed 933 new and renewal leasing transactions representing 3.9 million Pro-rata SF with positive rent spreads of 11.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 944 leasing transactions representing 3.2 million Pro-rata SF with positive rent spreads of 9.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Rent spreads are calculated on all executed leasing transactions for comparable Retail Operating Property spaces, including spaces vacant greater than 12 months.
•
T3At June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025, our total property portfolio was 96.5%, 96.1%, and 96.2% leased, respectively. At June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025 our same property portfolio was 96.9%, 96.5%, and 96.5% leased, respectively.
32
We continued our development and redevelopment of high-quality shopping centers:
•
Development and redevelopment projects completed during the six months ended June 30, 2026 represented $62.6 million of estimated net project costs, with an average stabilized yield of 9.6%. A stabilized yield for development and redevelopment projects represents the incremental NOI (estimated stabilized NOI less NOI prior to project commencement) divided by the total project costs.
•
T4Estimated Pro-rata project costs of our current in process development and redevelopment projects totaled $679.7 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $597.4 million at December 31, 2025.
We maintained liquidity and financial flexibility to cost effectively fund investment opportunities and debt maturities:
•
We maintain a credit rating A- with a stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings, and an A3 rating with a stable outlook from Moody's Investors Service.
•
On February 18, 2026, the Company issued $450 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2033 (the “2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes were issued at 99.376% of par and bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per annum. The net proceeds were used to reduce the outstanding balance on the Line, and the remaining proceeds were used for the repayment of $100 million of 3.81% unsecured private placement notes due May 11, 2026, upon its maturity, as well as for general corporate purposes.
•
T5As of June 30, 2026, we had $933.2 million of loans maturing during the next 12 months, including Regency's share of maturities within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships which we intend to refinance or pay-off as they mature.
•
At June 30, 2026, we had $1.46 billion available on the Line, which expires on March 23, 2028 unless we exercise the available options to extend the expiration for the first of two additional consecutive six-month periods, in which case the term will be extended in accordance with any such option exercise.

Bankruptcies and Credit Concerns
Our management team devotes significant time to researching and monitoring consumer preferences and trends, customer shopping behaviors, changes in delivery methods, shifts to e-commerce, and changing demographics in order to anticipate the challenges and opportunities impacting our industry. We seek to mitigate potentially adverse impacts through maintaining a high quality portfolio, diversifying our geographic and tenant mix, replacing less successful tenants with stronger operators, anchoring our centers with market leading grocery stores that drive customer traffic, and investing in suburban trade areas with compelling demographic populations benefiting from high levels of disposable income.
The success of the Company's tenants in operating their businesses and their corresponding ability to pay rent may be influenced by evolving political, economic, trade, tax and immigration policies and macroeconomic uncertainty, and the success of the Company's tenants, in the aggregate, is important to the operating and financial success of the Company. These include, without limitation, changes in trade and tariff policies (as well as potential trade disputes and retaliatory actions by other countries), entry into and termination of treaties and trade agreements, and economic sanctions, as well as global economic conflicts. T6Additionally, geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges, including the war involving Russia and Ukraine, and conflicts in the Middle East involving the U.S. and its allies, Iran and its allies, and Israel, could adversely impact aspects of the U.S. economy and, therefore, consumer confidence and spending.
Although base rent is derived from long-term lease contracts, tenants that file for bankruptcy generally have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. Any unsecured claim we hold against a bankrupt tenant for unpaid rent might be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. As a result, in a tenant bankruptcy situation it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold. Additionally, we may incur significant expense to adjudicate our claim and significant downtime to re-lease the vacated space.
In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files for bankruptcy and rejects its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues. At June 30, 2026, the tenants who are currently in bankruptcy and continue to occupy space in our shopping centers represent an aggregate of 0.2% of our Pro-rata annual base rent.

•
$5.7 million increase in Interest on notes payable primarily due to net increase in public debt at higher interest rates than previously outstanding notes; partially offset by
•
$1.9 million decrease in Interest on unsecured credit facilities primarily due to carrying a lower weighted average outstanding balance under our Line in 2026 as compared to 2025.
Net investment income increased by $1.9 million primarily driven by market volatility, including a $1.6 million increase in returns on investments held in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan and a $0.3 million increase in returns related to other corporate investments.
Equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships increased by $2.4 million mainly due to gains on partial real estate sales recognized at unconsolidated real estate partnerships during the current period.

Supplemental Earnings Information on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to certain performance metrics determined under GAAP, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate partnerships, when read in conjunction with our reported results under GAAP.
We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of operating results, assets and liabilities, along with other non-GAAP financial measures, may assist in comparing our operating results, assets and liabilities to other REITs. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported non-GAAP financial measures could change. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the beginning of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.
We do not consider non-GAAP financial measures as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, rather they supplement GAAP measures by providing additional information we believe to be useful to our shareholders. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management's judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided, including as set forth below. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations, or future prospects.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We use cash flows generated from operating, investing, and financing activities to strengthen our balance sheet, finance our development and redevelopment projects, fund our investment activities, and maintain financial flexibility. A significant portion of our cash flows from operations is distributed to our common shareholders in the form of dividends in order to maintain our status as a REIT.
Except for $100 million of private placement debt, our Parent Company has no capital commitments other than its guarantees of the commitments of our Operating Partnership. All remaining debt is held by our Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, or by our real estate partnerships. The Operating Partnership is a guarantor of the $100 million of outstanding debt of our Parent Company, which matures in August 2026 and which we expect to repay at maturity using available liquidity. The Parent Company will from time to time access the capital markets for the purpose of issuing new equity, and will simultaneously contribute all of the offering proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units.
We continually assess our available liquidity and our expected cash requirements, including monitoring our tenant rent collections. We have access to and draw on multiple financing sources to fund our operations and our long-term capital needs, including the requirements of our in process and planned developments, redevelopments, other capital expenditures, and the repayment of debt. We expect to meet these needs by using a combination of the following: cash flows from operations after funding our common stock and preferred stock dividends, borrowings from our Line, proceeds from the sale of real estate, mortgage loan and unsecured bank financing, distributions received from our real estate partnerships, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of equity securities or the issuance of new unsecured debt.
We continually evaluate alternative financing options, and we believe we can obtain new financing on reasonable terms, although likely at higher interest rates than that of our debt currently outstanding, due to the current interest rate environment.
T7We are actively monitoring market conditions and evaluating strategies to mitigate interest rate risk. These strategies may include the use of interest rate swaps, caps, or forward-starting hedges to lock in rates on future debt issuances or refinancings. We are also prioritizing refinancing of maturing debt with long-duration fixed-rate debt where appropriate, to minimize future exposure to rate volatility.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $933.2 million of loans maturing during the next 12 months, including Regency's share of maturities within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, which we intend to refinance or pay off as they mature. We actively monitor the capital markets and maintain flexibility to access them opportunistically, while proactively managing our debt maturity profile to support a strong balance sheet. We currently expect to address these maturing obligations through a combination of cash flows from operations, refinancing at maturity, available liquidity under our Line, or proceeds from potential property sales.
Based upon our available cash balance, sources of capital, our current credit ratings, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties we own, we believe our available capital resources are sufficient to meet our expected capital needs for the next year, although, in the longer term, we can provide no assurances.

The Company has the option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods beyond the stated maturity in the table.
The declaration of dividends is determined quarterly by, and in the discretion of, our Board of Directors.
While future dividends on shares of our common stock will be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors, we plan to continue paying an aggregate amount of distributions to our stock and unit holders that, at a minimum, meet the requirements to continue qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
We have historically generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our dividend distributions. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we generated cash flows from operating activities of $434.0 million and $405.1 million, respectively, and paid $288.6 million and $263.8 million in dividends to our common and preferred stock and unit holders, in the same respective periods.
We currently have development and redevelopment projects in various stages of planning, design and construction, along with a pipeline of potential projects for future development or redevelopment. After funding the July 2026 dividends for our common and preferred stock and Operating Partnership units, we estimate that we will require capital during the next 12 months of approximately $1.4 billion related to leasing commissions, tenant improvements, in-process developments and redevelopments, capital contributions to our real estate partnerships, and repaying maturing debt. T8These capital requirements may be impacted by increased costs of construction caused by, without limitation, tariffs and inflation affecting materials, labor, and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. Additionally, current volatility in oil prices can further drive up transportation and operational costs, contributing to overall project expenses.
We continue to implement mitigation strategies including, but not limited to, entering into fixed cost construction contracts, pre-ordering materials, and other planning efforts. Further, continued challenges from permitting delays and labor and material shortages may extend the time to completion of these projects.
If we start new developments or redevelopments, commit to property acquisitions, repay debt with cash, declare future dividends, or repurchase shares of our common stock, our cash requirements will increase. If we refinance maturing debt, our cash requirements will decrease.
We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets which enables us to access the secured and unsecured debt markets cost effectively and to maintain borrowing capacity on the Line. As of June 30, 2026, 88.4% of our consolidated real estate assets were unencumbered.
Our Line and unsecured debt require that we remain in compliance with various customary financial covenants, which are described in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K. We were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2026, and expect to remain in compliance.

We acquired one property for development and one property for redevelopment in 2026.
•
Building and tenant improvements increased $7.6 million in 2026, primarily related to the timing and volume of capital projects.
•
Redevelopment costs are lower than the prior year. We intend to continuously improve our portfolio of shopping centers through redevelopment which can include adjacent land acquisition, existing building expansions, facade renovations, new out-parcel building construction, and redevelopments related to tenant improvement costs. The size and magnitude of each redevelopment project varies with each redevelopment plan. The timing and duration of these projects could also result in volatility in NOI. See the tables below for more details about our redevelopment projects.
•
Development costs are lower in 2026 due to the progress towards completion of our development projects in process. See the tables below for more details about our development projects.
•
Interest is capitalized on our development and redevelopment projects and is based on cumulative actual costs incurred. We cease interest capitalization when the property is no longer being developed or is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements, but in no event would we capitalize interest on the project beyond 12 months after the anchor tenant opens for business. If we reduce our development and redevelopment activity, the amount of interest that we capitalize may be lower than historical averages.
•
We have a dedicated staff of employees who directly support our development program, which includes redevelopment of our existing properties. Internal compensation costs directly attributable to these activities are capitalized as part of each project.

Reflects scheduled principal payments and maturities for the remainder of the year.
At June 30, 2026, our investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.5 billion maturing through 2034, of which 94.9% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.2%. The remaining notes payable float with SOFR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 5.9%, based on rates as of June 30, 2026. These fixed and variable rate notes payable are all non-recourse, and our Pro-rata share was $540.5 million as of June 30, 2026. As notes payable mature, they will be repaid from proceeds from new borrowings and/or capital contributions.
We are obligated to contribute our Pro-rata share to fund maturities if the loans are not refinanced, and we have the capacity to do so from existing cash balances, availability on our Line, and operating cash flows. We believe that our partners are financially sound and have sufficient capital or access thereto to fund future capital requirements. In the event that a real estate investment partner is unable to fund its share of the capital requirements of the real estate partnership, we would have the right, but not the obligation, to loan the defaulting partner the amount of its capital call which would be secured by the partner's membership interest.
