Additionally, the asset base in North America includes 6.8 million SF of intermediate-term and future development projects. Founded in 1994, Alexandria pioneered this niche and has since established a significant market presence in key locations, including Greater Boston, San Francisco, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, Maryland, and Research Triangle Park. Alexandria has a longstanding and proven track record of developing Class A properties clustered in urban life science and technology campuses that provide our innovative tenants with highly dynamic and collaborative environments that enhance their ability to successfully recruit and retain world-class talent and inspire productivity, efficiency, creativity, and success. Alexandria also provides strategic capital to transformative life science and technology companies through our venture capital arm.

(2)	The assumed conversion of our 7.00% Series D cumulative convertible preferred stock required the addition of $5.1 million of dividends on preferred stock to the numerator, and the addition of 727 thousand shares to the denominator while calculating funds from operations per share attributable to Alexandria's common stockholders – diluted. These amounts had approximately no dilutive impact on a per share basis.
