The sole general partner is First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company"), which owns common units in the Operating Partnership ("Units") representing an approximate 96.2% ownership interest at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015. The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Company’s operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership ~~owned~~own, in the aggregate, approximately a 3.8% interest in the Operating Partnership at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015. Operations are also conducted through other partnerships and limited liability companies ("LLCs") of which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, and taxable REIT subsidiaries (together with the Operating Partnership, other partnerships and the LLCs, the "Consolidated Operating Partnership"), the operating data of which is consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership as presented herein. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to First Industrial, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries.

We also hold at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of eight limited partnerships (together, the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"). The Other Real Estate Partnerships’' operating data is presented herein on a combined basis, separate from that of the Consolidated Operating Partnership.

At September 30, 2014, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture owned one industrial property comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA") and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own any properties.

Venture"; collectively, the "Joint Ventures"). Our noncontrolling equity ownership interests in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture

and 2007 Europe Joint Venture are 15% and 10%, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture sold its last remaining industrial property comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). At March 31, 2015, the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own any properties.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2013~~2014 ("~~2013~~2014 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The ~~2013~~2014 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our ~~2013~~2014 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, ~~2013~~2014 audited consolidated financial statements included in our ~~2013~~2014 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In order to conform with GAAP, in preparation of our consolidated financial statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015 and December 31, ~~2013~~2014, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013~~2014. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015 and December 31, ~~2013~~2014, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013~~2014, and our cash flows for each of the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013~~2014; all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation.

Discontinued Operations

Effective January 1, 2015, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" ("ASU 2014-08") for all properties not previously sold. ASU 2014-08 revised the reporting requirements to only allow a component of an entity, or group of components of an entity, to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. Going forward, we expect the majority of our property dispositions will not qualify as discontinued operations and the results of the dispositions, including gain on sale of real estate, will be presented in Income from Continuing Operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we sold 16 industrial properties comprising approximately 0.9 million square feet of GLA. Gross proceeds from the sales of the industrial properties were approximately $50,510. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $12,291. The 16 sold industrial properties meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 16 industrial properties sold are included in discontinued operations.



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Total Revenues	$	2,217
Property Expenses	(952		)
Depreciation and Amortization	(837		)
Gain on Sale of Real Estate	432
Income from Discontinued Operations	$	860

At September 30, 2014, we had two industrial properties comprising approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA held for sale. The results of operations of these industrial properties held for sale at September 30, 2014 are included in discontinued operations. There can be no assurance that such industrial properties held for sale will be sold.

Income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects the results of operations of the 16 industrial properties that were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the results of operations of the 65 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2013, the results of operations of the two industrial properties identified as held for sale at September 30, 2014 and the net gain on sale of real estate relating to 18 industrial properties that were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The following table discloses certain information regarding the industrial properties included in our discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Impairment Charges

The impairment charges of $2,652 recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, of which $1,605 is included in discontinued operations, were due to marketing certain properties for sale and our assessment of the likelihood and timing of a potential sale transaction.

The following table presents information about our real estate assets that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and for which impairment charges were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The table indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine fair value.

We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans payable as of September 30, 2014.

Senior Unsecured Notes, Net

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we paid off and retired our 2014 Notes, at maturity, in the amount of $81,794.

Unsecured Term Loan

On January 29, 2014, we entered into a seven-year, $200,000 unsecured loan (the "Unsecured Term Loan") with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Unsecured Term Loan requires interest only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreement, plus a specified spread based on our leverage ratio or credit ratings.

Table of Contents

Unsecured Credit Facility

On March 10, 2015, we amended and restated our $625,000 revolving credit agreement (the "Old Credit Facility") with a new $625,000 revolving credit agreement (as amended and restated, the "Unsecured Credit Facility"). We may request that the borrowing capacity under the Unsecured Credit Facility be increased to $900,000, subject to certain restrictions. The amendment extended the maturity date from September 29, 2017 to March 11, 2019 with an option to extend an additional one year at our election, subject to certain restrictions. At March 31, 2015, the Unsecured Credit Facility provides for interest only payments at LIBOR plus 115 basis points. The interest rate on the Unsecured Credit Facility varies based on our leverage ratio.

Indebtedness

The following is a schedule of the stated maturities and scheduled principal payments of our indebtedness, exclusive of premiums and discounts, for the next five years as of ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2014~~ and thereafter:

~~Our~~The ~~unsecured~~Unsecured ~~revolving~~Credit ~~credit~~Facility, ~~facility~~our $200,000 unsecured loan (the "Unsecured ~~Credit~~Term ~~Facility~~Loan"), ~~Unsecured Term Loan~~ and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain financial covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan, an event of default can ~~also~~ occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreements. We believe that wethe Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to the Unsecured Credit Facility, Unsecured Term Loan and indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2014~~2015. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our lenders and noteholders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

Fair Value

At ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2014~~2015 and December 31, ~~2013~~2014, the fair value of our indebtedness was as follows:

The fair values of our mortgage loans payable were determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made based upon similar remaining maturities. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated. The fair value of the senior unsecured ~~debt~~notes ~~was~~were determined by using rates, as advised by our bankers in certain cases, that are based upon recent trades within the same series of the senior unsecured ~~debt~~notes, recent trades for senior unsecured ~~debt~~notes with comparable maturities, recent trades for fixed rate unsecured ~~debt~~notes from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. The fair value of the Unsecured Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term, assuming no repayment until maturity. We have concluded that our determination of fair value for each of our mortgage loans payable, senior unsecured ~~debt~~notes, Unsecured Term Loan and Unsecured Credit Facility was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

Under the two class method, participating security holders are allocated income, in proportion to total weighted average ~~units~~Units outstanding, based upon the greater of net income (after reduction for preferred unit distributions and redemption of preferred ~~units~~Units) or common distributions declared.

Effective July 1, 2013, the Board of Directors granted performance awards ("LTIP Unit Awards") to certain officers and employees of the Company. The LTIP Unit Awards, which do not participate in non-forfeitable dividends of the Company, are dilutive and are included in the calculation of diluted EPU for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and nine months ended September 30, 2014. 14

The number of weighted average units—diluted is the same as the number of weighted average units—basic for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as the effect of the LTIP Unit Awards outstanding at September 30, 2013, was excluded as its inclusion would have been antidilutive to the loss from continuing operations available to Unitholders.

10. Stock Based Compensation

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, we awarded ~~299~~216,~~805~~975 shares of restricted stock awards to certain employees, which had a fair value of $54,~~413~~708 on the date of approval by ~~either~~ the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. orWe ~~the~~issued ~~approval~~Units ~~date~~to of the Company's ~~2014~~in ~~Stock~~the ~~Incentive~~same ~~Plan~~amounts. These restricted stock awards were issued based upon the achievement of certain corporate performance goals for the calendar year ~~2013~~2014 and generally vest over a period of three years. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we awarded 19,250 shares of restricted stock to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, which had a fair value of $350 on the date of approval. These restricted stock awards vest over a one-year period. We issued Units to the Company in the same amount for both award issuances.

Compensation expense ~~will~~is be charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the shares expected to vest except if the recipient is not required to provide future service in exchange for vesting of such shares. If vesting of a recipient's restricted stock award is not contingent upon future service, the expense is recognized immediately at the date of grant. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014 and 2013~~2015, we recognized $1,~~451~~250 ~~and $1,008, respectively,~~ of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards granted to our Chief Executive Officer for which future service was not required.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $2,561 and $1,575, respectively, in amortization related to restricted stock awards and LTIP Unit Awards. Restricted stock award and LTIP Unit Award amortization capitalized in connection with development activities was not significant. At March 31, 2015, we had $9,757 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested restricted stock awards and LTIP Unit Awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 1.12 years.

11. Derivatives

Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate protection agreements as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate protection agreements designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

In connection with the origination of the Unsecured Term Loan (see Note 5), during January 2014, we entered into four interest rate protection agreements, with an aggregate notional value of $200,000, to manage our exposure to changes in the one month LIBOR rate (the “Group I Swaps”). The Group I Swaps fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 2.29% and mature on January 29, 2021. We designated the Group I Swaps as cash flow hedges.

In order to maintain our flexibility to pursue an offering of unsecured debt in the future, during August 2014, we entered into three interest rate protection agreements, with an aggregate notional value of $220,000, to manage our exposure to changes in the three month LIBOR rate (the "Group II Swaps"; together with the Group I Swaps, the "Swaps"). The Group II Swaps fix the LIBOR rate at a rate of 2.5795% and are effective from December 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024. WeAt origination, we designated the Group II Swaps as cash flow hedges. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company reclassified the fair market value loss recorded in other comprehensive income relating to the Group II Swaps to earnings as a result of the Company determining that the forecasted offering of unsecured debt was no longer probable to occur within the time period stated in the respective designation memos. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the reclassified amount was a loss of $12,990 recorded as mark-to-market loss on interest rate protection agreements. As a result of the forecasted transaction becoming not probable to occur within the stated timeframe, the Group II Swaps were de-designated and future changes in fair value will be recorded directly in earnings. See Subsequent Events.

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations subject to certain thresholds. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, we ~~have~~had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the agreement provisions. If we had breached these provisions, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value.

The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities related to the Swaps, which are included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net and Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014: 15

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the Group I Swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2015. See Note 7 for more information.

The estimated fair value of the Swaps was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk. We determined that the significant inputs used to value the Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.

In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction of industrial buildings. At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, we ~~have~~had ~~five~~three industrial buildings totaling approximately 10.28 million square feet of GLA ~~that are~~ under construction. The estimated total ~~construction~~investment ~~costs~~ as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015 ~~are~~is approximately $6435,~~700~~200. Of this amount, approximately $2411,~~900~~000 remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated ~~completion~~total ~~cost~~investment stated above.

13. Subsequent Events

From ~~October~~ April 1, ~~2014~~2015 to ~~October~~April 3029, ~~2014~~2015, we ~~sold~~acquired ~~two~~one ~~industrial~~land ~~properties~~parcel ~~and~~for a ~~certain~~purchase ~~land~~price ~~parcel~~of ~~for~~ approximately $34,~~285.

Attention: Investor Relations

MANAGEMENT'S OVERVIEW

We believe our financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, disposition of industrial properties and access to external capital.

We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from ~~long-term (generally three to six years)~~ operating leases of our industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certain property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties, (ii) maximize tenant recoveries and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains/losses on the sale of our properties (as discussed below), for our liquidity. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue would decline. Further, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if we were unable to rent our properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.

Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability to acquire existing, and ~~acquire and~~ develop new, ~~additional~~ industrial properties on favorable terms. The Consolidated Operating Partnership seeks to identify opportunities to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seeks to ~~identify opportunities to~~ acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, income from which, as discussed above, is a source of funds for our distributions. The acquisition and development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With ~~respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be~~

2018

Table of Contents

respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms, or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.

We also generate income from the sale of our properties (including existing buildings, buildings which we have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The gain/loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and can be a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries. Proceeds from sales are being used to repay outstanding debt and, market conditions permitting, may be used to fund the acquisition of existing, and the acquisition and development of new, industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Further, our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms, our income growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock could be adversely affected.

We utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to refinance debt and finance future acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and to fund acquisitions and developments ~~or through the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities~~. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our debt, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of the Company’s capital stock. If we were unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock could be adversely affected.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The tables below summarize our ~~operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The operating results include a break out of our~~ revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013~~2014. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, ~~2013~~2014 and held as an ~~operating~~in-service property through ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2014~~2015 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, ~~2013~~2014 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, ~~2013~~2014. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service. Acquisitions (that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition), developments and redevelopments are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development/redevelopment construction completion. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and held as an operating property through ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, ~~2012~~2013. (Re)Developments and land are land parcels and developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, ~~2013~~2014 or b) stabilized prior to January 1, ~~2013~~2014. Other revenues are derived from the operations of our maintenance company, fees earned from our Joint Ventures and other miscellaneous revenues. Other expenses are derived from the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous regional expenses.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.

Property expenses from sold properties decreased $31.30 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, ~~2012~~2013.

22General and administrative expense increased $1.4 million, or 26.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to the immediate recognition of expense related to the issuance of restricted stock to the Company’s CEO during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $0.04 million of expense related to costs associated with acquiring buildings from third parties.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expense increased $1.0 million, or 5.7%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation, partially offset by a decrease in legal expense.

Table of Contents

Equity in income of joint ventures increased $3.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to an increase in our pro rata share of gain and earn outs from the sales of industrial properties from the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture.

The income tax provision is not significant.

Income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate relating to 16 industrial properties that were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the results of operations of two industrial properties that were identified as held for sale at September 30, 2014.

Income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects the net gain on sale of real estate relating to 18 industrial properties that were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the results of operations of 65 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2013, the results of operations of 16 industrial properties that were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the results of operations of the two industrial properties identified as held for sale at September 30, 2014. The impairment loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $1.6 million primarily relates to an impairment charge recorded due to carrying values of certain properties exceeding the estimated fair value based upon a third party purchase contract for properties held for sale during 2013.

The $0.5 million gain on sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted from the sale of several land parcels that did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other property related expenses. Property expenses from same store properties increased $1.0 million primarily due to moderate increases in bad debt expense, real estate tax expense, utility expense and repair and maintenance expense. Property expenses from acquired properties increased $0.6 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2012. Property expenses from sold properties decreased $1.0 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2012. Property expenses from (re)developments and land increased $0.4 million primarily due to an increase in real estate tax expense related to the substantial completion of developments. Other expenses remained relatively unchanged.

General and administrative expense remained relatively unchanged.

Table of Contents

The impairment charge included in continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $1.0 million is primarily due to marketing certain properties for sale and our assessment of the likelihood of a potential sale transaction.

Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $1.3 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2012. Depreciation and other amortization for (re)developments and land increased $0.4 million primarily due to an increase in developments that were placed in service. Corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment depreciation expense remained unchanged.

Interest income increased $0.1 million, or 14.6%, primarily due to the receipt of a prepayment fee of $0.3 million related to a note receivable that was paid off early during the three months ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average note receivable balance outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Interest expense decreased $0.7 million, or 4.4%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 (4.98%) as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 (5.61%), partially offset by an increase in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2014 ($1,312.4 million) as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 ($1,254.0 million) and a decrease in capitalized interest of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 due to a decrease in development activities.

Amortization of deferred financing costs remained relatively unchanged.

We recorded no mark-to-market net gain, as the $0.2 million mark-to-market gain was offset by equivalent swap payments, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 related to the Series F Agreement.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a loss from retirement of debt of $0.03 million due to the early payoff of certain mortgage loans. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a loss from retirement of debt of $0.7 million due to the partial repurchase of certain series of our senior unsecured notes, the early payoff of certain mortgage loans and the write-off of certain unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the amendment of our revolving line of credit.

Equity in income of other real estate partnerships remained relatively unchanged.

Equity in income of joint ventures remained relatively unchanged.

The income tax provision remained relatively unchanged.

(1)	Average GAAP rent is the average rent calculated in accordance with GAAP, over the term of the lease.

(2) GAAP basis rent growth is a ratio of the change in net effective rent (on a GAAP basis, including straight-line rent adjustments as required by GAAP) compared to the net effective rent (on a GAAP basis) of the comparable lease. New leases where there were no prior comparable leases are also excluded.


(3)	The lease term is expressed in years. Assumes no exercise of lease renewal options, if any.


(4)	Turnover costs are comprised of the costs incurred or capitalized for improvements of vacant and renewal spaces, as well as the commissions paid and costs capitalized for leasing transactions. Turnover costs per square foot represent the total turnover costs expected to be incurred on the leases signed during the period and do not reflect actual expenditures for the period.


(5)	Represents the weighted average square feet of tenants renewing their respective leases.

~~LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES~~22

At September 30, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $13.0 million. We also had $441.9 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

We have considered our short-term (through September 30, 2015) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company’s REIT qualification under the Code and distributions approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities as well as the disposition of select assets. These needs may also be met by the issuance of additional Units or long-term unsecured indebtedness, subject to market conditions and contractual restrictions or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of September 30, 2014, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants for the remainder of 2014.

We have considered our short-term (through March 31, 2016) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. Our 5.75% 2016 Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $159.7 million, are due January 15, 2016. Also, we have $82.1 million in mortgage loans payable outstanding at March 31, 2015 that mature or we anticipate prepaying prior to March 31, 2016. We expect to satisfy these payment obligations prior to March 31, 2016 with borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. With the exception of these payment obligations, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company’s REIT qualification under the Code and distributions approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities as well as the disposition of select assets. These needs may also be met by the issuance of additional Units or long-term unsecured indebtedness, subject to market conditions and contractual restrictions or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

We expect to meet long-term (after March 31, 2016) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional Units and preferred Units, subject to market conditions.

We also finance the development and acquisition of additional properties through borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and may finance the development or acquisition of additional properties through such borrowings, to the extent capacity is available. At March 31, 2015, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 1.323%. As of April 29, 2015, we had approximately $420.0 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of March 31, 2015, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants for the remainder of 2015.

Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings of BBB-/Baa3/BBB-, respectively. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital; however, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.

~~Nine~~Three Months Ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015

Net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $8223.58 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, was comprised primarily of the non-cash adjustments of approximately $7533.30 million, a book overdraft of approximately $0.8 million, and net income of approximately $312.5 million, offset by the net change in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $12.14 million, ~~payments of discounts~~ and ~~prepayment penalties associated with retirement of debt of approximately $10.6 million and~~ equity in income of Joint Ventures ~~in excess~~ of ~~distributions of~~ approximately $10.61 million. The adjustments for the non-cash items of approximately $7533.30 million are primarily comprised of depreciation and amortization of approximately $8628.95 million, ~~the~~mark-to-market loss ~~from~~on ~~retirement~~interest ofrate ~~debt~~protection agreements of approximately $013.50 million and the provision for bad debt of approximately $1.0.5 million, offset by the gain on sale of real estate of approximately $127.3 million and the effect of the straight-lining of rental income of approximately $01.87 million.

Net cash ~~used~~provided inby investing activities of approximately $226.73 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, was comprised primarily of ~~investments~~the innet ~~and~~proceeds ~~advances~~from tothe sale of real estate, repayments on our notes receivable, distributions from the Other Real Estate Partnerships, ~~the~~in ~~acquisition~~excess of ~~certain~~equity ~~land~~in ~~parcels~~income and ~~three~~net ~~industrial~~distributions ~~properties~~from ~~comprising~~our ~~approximately~~Joint ~~0.5 million~~Ventures, ~~square~~offset ~~feet~~by ofinvestments ~~GLA~~in and advances to the Other Real Estate Partnerships, the development of real estate, capital expenditures related to the improvement of existing real estate, payments related to leasing activities and an increase in escrows, offset by the net proceeds from the sale of real estate, distributions from the Other Real Estate Partnerships in excess of equity in income, the repayments on our notes receivable and net distributions from our Joint Ventures.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, we sold 16eight industrial properties comprising approximately 0.95 million square feet of GLA. Proceeds from the ~~sales~~sale of the 16eight industrial properties, net of closing costs, were approximately $4823.59 million. We are in various stages of discussions with third parties for the sale of additional properties and plan to continue to selectively market other properties for sale for the remainder of ~~2014~~2015.

Net cash used in financing activities of approximately $5335.36 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, was comprised primarily of ~~the redemption of our Series F Preferred Units and Series G Cumulative Preferred Units (the "Series G Preferred Units"),~~ repayments on our ~~senior unsecured notes and~~ mortgage loans payable, general and limited partnership Unit ~~and preferred general partnership Unit~~ distributions, payments of debt issuance costs and the repurchase and retirement of restricted Units, offset by proceeds from the Unsecured Term Loan (as defined below) and net proceeds from our Unsecured Credit Facility.

~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we entered into a seven-year, $200.0 million unsecured term loan (the "Unsecured Term Loan").~~23

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we paid off and retired prior to maturity mortgage loans in the amount of $59.7 million. Additionally, we paid off and retired our 2014 Notes, at maturity, in the amount of $81.8 million. We may from time to time repay additional amounts of our outstanding debt. Any repayments would depend upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors we consider important. Future repayments may materially impact our liquidity, taxable income and results of operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company redeemed all 50,000 depositary shares of the Company's Series F Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for $50.0 million and paid a first quarter dividend of $11.3299 per depositary share, totaling approximately $0.6 million. An equivalent number of Series F Preferred Units were redeemed during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as well. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company redeemed all 25,000 depositary shares of the Company's Series G Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for $25.0 million and paid a first quarter dividend of $36.18 per depositary share, totaling approximately $0.9

Market Risk

The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes "forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward- looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, ~~and~~as todescribed ~~a much lesser extent, foreign currency fluctuations~~below.

Interest Rate Risk

The following analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments which are held by us at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.

In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, $1,~~086~~081.10 million (86.15% of total debt at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015) of our debt was fixed rate debt (includes $200.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements) and $~~176~~168.0 million (13.95% of total debt at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015) of our debt was variable rate debt. At December 31, ~~2013~~2014, $1,~~026~~083.16 million (85.64% of total debt at December 31, ~~2013~~2014) of our debt was fixed rate debt (includes $200.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements) and $~~173~~185.0 million (14.46% of total debt at December 31, ~~2013~~2014) of our debt was variable rate debt.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.

Our variable rate debt is subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, we had approximately $~~176~~168.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding indexed to LIBOR rates (excluding the $200.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements). If the LIBOR rates at March 31, 2015 relevant to our variable rate debt were to have increased 10%, we estimate that our interest expense during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015 would have increased by approximately $0.0201 million based on our average outstanding floating-rate debt during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015. Additionally, if weighted average interest rates on our fixed rate debt were to have increased by 10% due to refinancing, interest expense would have increased by approximately $51.25 million during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $1,~~331~~316.41 million based on our estimate of the then-current market interest rates.

The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage risks of increases in interest rates with respect to the effect these fluctuations would have on our earnings and cash flows. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2014~~2015, we had interest rate protection agreements with a notional aggregate amount outstanding of $420.0 million, which mitigate our exposure to interest rates. $200.0 million of the interest rate protection agreements fix our interest rate on our ~~Unsecured~~$200.0 ~~Term~~million ~~Loan~~unsecured term loan and $220.0 million was entered into in order to fix our interest rate to maintain our flexibility to pursue an offering of long-term unsecured debt in the future ("Interest Rate Protection Agreements"). During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company determined that the issuance of long-term unsecured debt was no longer probable of occurring by the date within the respective hedge memos and therefore, the Company de-designated the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and reclassified the fair market value loss of $13.0 million as of March 31, 2015 to the income statement. See Subsequent Events. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Owning industrial property outside of the United States exposes the Operating Partnership to the possibility of volatile movements in foreign exchange rates. Changes in foreign currencies can affect the operating results of international operations reported in U.S. dollars and the value of the foreign assets reported in U.S. dollars. The economic impact of foreign exchange rate movements is complex because such changes are often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. At September 30, 2014, we owned one land parcel for which the U.S. dollar was not the functional currency. The land parcel is located in Ontario, Canada and uses the Canadian dollar as its functional currency.
