Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Description of Business and Organization
As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements, unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” and "ESRT" mean Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESRT) is a NYC-focused real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns and operates a portfolio of modernized, amenitized, and well-located office, retail, and multifamily assets. ESRT’s flagship Empire State Building, the “World's Most Famous Building,” features its iconic Observatory that was declared the #1 Attraction in the World - and the #1 Attraction in the U.S. for the third consecutive year – in Tripadvisor’s 2024 Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Things to Do. The Company is a recognized leader in energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.
As of June 30, 2024, our portfolio was comprised of approximately 7.9 million rentable square feet of office space, 0.7 million rentable square feet of retail space and 727 residential units. Our office portfolio included 10 properties (including three long-term ground leasehold interests). Nine of these office properties are located in midtown Manhattan and encompass approximately 7.6 million rentable square feet of office space and 0.5 million rentable square feet of retail space, including the Empire State Building. The remaining office property encompasses approximately 0.3 million rentable square feet and is located in Stamford, Connecticut, with immediate access to mass transportation. Additionally, we have entitled land adjacent to the Stamford office property that can support the development of either office or residential per local zoning. Our multifamily portfolio included 727 residential units in New York City.
We were organized as a Maryland corporation on July 29, 2011 and commenced operations upon completion of our initial public offering and related formation transactions on October 7, 2013 (the "IPO"). Our operating partnership, Empire State Realty OP, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. As of June 30, 2024, we owned approximately 60.3% of the aggregate operating partnership units in the Operating Partnership. We, as the sole general partner in the Operating Partnership, have responsibility and discretion in the management and control of the Operating Partnership, and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership, in such capacity, have no authority to transact business for, or participate in the management activities of, the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, the Operating Partnership has been consolidated by us. We elected to be subject to tax as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the summary of significant accounting policies included in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).
Basis of Quarterly Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations (including intercompany balances and transactions), consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements have been included.
The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the corresponding full years. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in our Annual Report. Our Observatory business is subject to tourism trends and the weather, and therefore does experience some seasonality. For the year ended December 31, 2023, approximately 17% of our annual Observatory revenue was realized in the first quarter, 26% was realized in the second quarter, 29% was realized in the third quarter, and 28% was realized in the fourth quarter. Our multifamily business experiences some seasonality based on general market trends in New York City – the winter months (November through January) are slower in terms of lease activity. We seek to mitigate this by staggering lease terms such that
lease expirations are matched with seasonal demand. We do not consider the balance of our business to be subject to material seasonal fluctuations.
We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members. For variable interest entities ("VIE"), we consolidate the entity if we are deemed to have a variable interest in the entity and through that interest we are deemed the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. The Operating Partnership is a VIE of ESRT. As the Operating Partnership is already consolidated in the financial statements of ESRT, the identification of this entity as a VIE has no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We will assess the accounting treatment for each investment we may have in the future. This assessment will include a review of each entity’s organizational agreement to determine which party has what rights and whether those rights are protective or participating. For all VIEs, we will review such agreements in order to determine which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and benefit. In situations where we or our partner could approve, among other things, the annual budget, or leases that cover more than a nominal amount of space relative to the total rentable space at each property, we would not consolidate the investment as we consider these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared power of the activities that would most significantly impact the performance and benefit of such joint venture investment.
A non-controlling interest in a consolidated subsidiary is defined as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Non-controlling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and in the condensed consolidated statements of operations by requiring earnings and other comprehensive income to be attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to use estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include allocation of the purchase price of acquired real estate properties among tangible and intangible assets, determination of the useful life of real estate properties and other long-lived assets, valuation and impairment analysis of commercial real estate properties, goodwill, right-of-use assets and other long-lived and indefinite-lived assets, estimate of tenant expense reimbursements, valuation of the allowance for doubtful accounts, and valuation of derivative instruments, ground lease liabilities, senior unsecured notes, mortgage notes payable, unsecured revolving credit and term loan facilities, and equity-based compensation. These estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past, current, and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Acquisitions and Dispositions
Property Acquisitions
In September 2023, we closed on the acquisition of a retail property in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, located on the corner of North 6th Street and Wythe Avenue for a purchase price of $26.4 million. The purchase price is the fair value at the date of acquisition.
The following table summarizes properties acquired during the six and twelve months ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively (amounts in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Intangibles | |
Property | Date Acquired | | Land | Building and Improvements | Assets | Liabilities | Total* |
Williamsburg Retail, Brooklyn | 9/14/2023 | | $ | 4,851 | | $ | 20,936 | | $ | 1,573 | | $ | (300) | | $ | 27,060 | |
*Includes total capitalized transaction costs of $0.7 million. |
In March 2024, we executed a buyout of our partner's 10% interest in two of our multifamily properties located at 561 10th Avenue and 345 East 94th Street in Manhattan for $14.2 million in cash and the assumption of $18.0 million of in-place debt. As of June 30, 2024, we own 100% of the interests in these assets. As there was no change in control, we accounted for this acquisition as an equity transaction in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 810-10 and no gain or loss was recognized.
Subsequent to quarter-end, in July 2024, we entered into two purchase agreements, each relating to the acquisition of separate prime retail portfolios located on North 6th Street in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York for $103 million and $92 million, respectively. These acquisitions are subject to customary closing conditions and are anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2024.
Property Dispositions
The following table summarizes properties disposed of during the six and twelve months ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Property | | Date of Disposal | Sales Price | Gain on Disposition |
First Stamford Place, Stamford, Connecticut | | 5/22/2024 | N/A | $ | 10,803 | |
500 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, New York* | | 4/5/2023 | $ | 53,000 | | $ | 11,075 | |
69-97 and 103-107 Main Street, Westport, Connecticut | | 2/1/2023 | $ | 40,000 | | $ | 15,689 | |
*The gain is net of approximately $4.5 million of post-closing costs we accrued related to our commitment to reimburse the buyer for a lease that did not occur. We funded the buyer for these costs and we have no further obligations or contingencies related to this property. |
In April 2024, we worked with the First Stamford Place mortgage lender to structure a consensual foreclosure. On May 22, 2024, a receiver was appointed and we ended our management of the property. In connection with this, we removed the related assets and liabilities from our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and recognized a gain of $10.8 million that is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. We also recorded a contract asset of $167.0 million and the related debt associated with property under receivership and accrued interest associated with property under receivership of $177.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024. This contract asset represents our right to debt extinguishment once the foreclosure process on the First Stamford Place property is completed.
4. Deferred Costs, Acquired Lease Intangibles and Goodwill
Deferred costs, net, consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Total deferred costs, net, excluding net deferred financing costs | $ | 162,426 | | | $ | 169,580 | |
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $9.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of net deferred financing costs associated with the unsecured revolving credit facility was included in deferred costs, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Amortization expense related to deferred leasing costs and acquired deferred leasing costs was $5.2 million and $11.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $6.1 million and $11.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Amortization expense related to acquired lease intangibles was $1.2 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $2.3 million and $4.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Amortizing acquired intangible assets and liabilities consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (amounts in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Acquired below-market ground leases | $ | 396,916 | | | $ | 396,916 | |
Less: accumulated amortization | (79,590) | | | (75,675) | |
Acquired below-market ground leases, net | $ | 317,326 | | | $ | 321,241 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Acquired below-market leases | $ | (51,883) | | | $ | (55,155) | |
Less: accumulated amortization | 40,011 | | | 41,405 | |
Acquired below-market leases, net | $ | (11,872) | | | $ | (13,750) | |
Rental revenue related to the amortization of below-market leases, net of above-market leases, was $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had goodwill of $491.5 million. Goodwill was allocated $227.5 million to the Observatory reportable segment and $264.0 million to the real estate reportable segment.
We performed our annual goodwill testing in October 2023, where we bypassed the optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment and proceeded directly to a quantitative assessment of the Observatory reportable segment and engaged a third-party valuation consulting firm to perform the valuation process. The quantitative analysis used a combination of the discounted cash flow method (a form of the income approach) utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs and the guideline company method (a form of the market approach). Significant assumptions under the former included revenue and cost projections, weighted average cost of capital, long-term growth rate and income tax considerations while the latter included guideline company enterprise values, revenue multiples, EBITDA multiples and control premium rates. Our methodology to review goodwill impairment, which included a significant amount of judgment and estimates, provided a reasonable basis to determine whether impairment had occurred. The quantitative analysis performed concluded the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. We also perform quarterly qualitative assessments and have not identified any events which would indicate, on a more likely than not basis, that the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit was impaired. Many of the factors employed in determining whether or not goodwill is impaired are outside of our control, and it is reasonably likely that assumptions and estimates will change in future periods. We will continue to assess the impairment of the Observatory reporting unit goodwill going forward.
