Our performance is subject to risks associated with real estate investment Recent and future acquisitions and development properties may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations and may require renovation and development costs exceeding our estimates. Illiquidity of real estate investments and the tax effect of dispositions could significantly impede our ability to sell assets or respond to favorable or adverse changes in the performance of our properties. Because holders of our Common Units, including some of our officers and directors, may suffer adverse tax consequences upon the sale of some of our properties, they may seek to influence us not to sell certain properties even if such a sale would otherwise be in our best interest The success of our joint venture activity depends upon our ability to work effectively with financially sound partners. Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate. Our use of debt to finance our operations could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and ability to make distributions. The Company may be subject to taxation as a regular corporation if it fails to maintain its REIT status, which could also have a material adverse effect on the Company s stockholders and on the Operating Partnership. Cash distributions reduce the amount of cash that would otherwise be available for other business purposes, including funding debt maturities or future growth initiatives. Because provisions contained in Maryland law, the Company s charter and its bylaws may have an anti-takeover effect, the Company s stockholders may be prevented from receiving a control premium for the Common Stock.
