That is a very easy telephone name. We have now paperwork carried out to say to those who, OK, this is what we will do, I’ll purchase this, which clearly we would like part of that. However I am additionally going to place these different issues wherein then they must worth these.

However we’re in all probability more likely to see it reasonable. Actually, what we have seen is that throughout the pandemic slowdown, it stretched out our construct instances just a little bit. So it is taken us just a little longer to get people moved in. In order that’s prompted that hole to remain just a little wider than we’re used to.

Our subsequent query comes from Steve Sakwa from Evercore ISI. Please go forward.
Steve Sakwa — Evercore ISI — Analyst
Thanks. Good morning. Jordan, I suppose, I simply wished to know just a little bit extra sort of the absorption pattern. And I suppose I used to be just a little shocked that given the power within the leasing, you had over 300,000 sq. toes of recent offers, and also you had excellent renewal exercise.
And if I look again to your fourth quarter complement, it solely confirmed about 475,000 sq. toes expiring within the first quarter. So you probably did nearly double the quantity of exercise, and also you add absorption. And the lease commerce solely went up 10 foundation factors. So I am simply making an attempt to determine what am I lacking within the math right here.
And in case you proceed at this tempo or what tempo do it is advisable truly see extra absorption than sort of 10 foundation factors 1 / 4?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Properly, what I will inform you is that this, we all know that the primary half of the 12 months could be very robust. I do not know precisely the place — I do not wish to give an excessive amount of within the numbers as a result of I do not know what quantity you are pulling. However we knew we had an enormous position first quarter, and we have now a fairly good position second quarter, after which we have now a extra gentle second half of the 12 months. So in case you would have advised me that we had been going to get all of it constructive throughout the first quarter with leasing, I used to be undoubtedly happier than you might be about it.
I imply, I used to be pondering we will must do numerous leasing to get this to be a constructive quarter. And as Stuart mentioned to you, we’re nonetheless seeing a pipeline that appears that means, which is incredible information. So I think about the leasing that was carried out throughout the quarter and the truth that we even have that quantity of position — look, we did 900,000 toes, a constructive 10 foundation factors. I imply that as — there was so much that is happening there.
proper? If it was a matter of pulling leases from different locations, then you definitely would have been much more constructive. We had a tricky quarter. In order that was not solely a incredible quarter, nice job carried out by the crew that did it, but in addition signal that it is a very vigorous market proper now. And that is the principle factor I have been on the lookout for.
It is like, are the individuals on the market to backfill and fill this factor up? And we noticed all that, and we have now seen that for 3 quarters in a row, actually in all probability 4 quarters in a row. However for certain, three as a result of now take this quarter. So I believe so long as the remainder of the economic system and every little thing holds and the restoration retains going, I am feeling excellent about, directionally, the place we’re headed by way of doing job 1, which is refilling up the portfolio on the losses that we took throughout the pandemic.
Steve Sakwa — Evercore ISI — Analyst
OK. Properly, we are able to definitely comply with up offline and undergo Web page 19 of the supplemental in additional element. I suppose, because it pertains to the Landmark, once we toured the asset, I suppose, within the late March, you had been having some very early success on the rents you had been attaining towards your professional formas. Is there something you may simply kind of share with us on the quantity and sort of the pricing since that point?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Yeah. Properly, yeah, we’re nonetheless having that success. I imply, individuals are transferring in, and we’re actually happy with the leasing that is happening there. I imply, we did not actually — I am not altering it from saying it should take two years to lease up the mission, however all indicators are that we’ll make it in two years, and possibly we’ll perform a little higher.
I am certain we’ll make it inside two years, for certain now. And we’re getting charges which are simply considerably above once we begin building that to what we anticipated.

Connor Mitchell — Piper Sandler — Analyst
Hello. Thanks for taking my query. So given the success and outperformance of Brentwood and Bishop, does it make you wish to speed up the following spherical of tasks?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Properly, in all probability at all times wish to speed up the following spherical of tasks. Sadly, for the final intervals of COVID and all the remainder of it, the town’s been right into a deceleration part. And we’re simply seeing — I am not even certain municipalities are completely again within the workplace but, even to reply to issues. We simply began meaningfully having conferences once more of their workplaces with council members and numerous individuals at — each in Honolulu and right here in L.A.
So we’re not island. We will not steer on our personal. All of this stuff take agreements with cities, and it is simply — they’re simply again now. However in fact, I believe we have now — despite the fact that I believe with inflation and building prices, costs have gone up, we have now a tremendously good pipeline of very low-hanging fruit for significantly residential building on property that we already personal.
By getting it by way of the system and getting permits and getting all that carried out simply takes a while as we have been saying all alongside, however you are proper. In fact, this has been tremendous profitable, and we would like to do extra faster.

Our subsequent query comes from Blaine Heck from Wells Fargo. Please go forward.

Nice. Thanks. Good morning. Jordan, simply to be clear on the preliminary cap price, you quoted on 12 21 within the low 3s, does that cap price embrace administration charges that you just guys might be paid by your accomplice or is that simply on the NOI?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Properly, it is a cap price like — in fact, it consists of property administration charges, if that is your query. I imply, cap price is the NOI divided by the acquisition value. So you are taking the going-in NOI of no matter bills are allotted to billing, I imply, and divide it. That is what it’s.
Perhaps I do not perceive your query.
Stuart McElhinney — Vice President of Investor Relations
He thinks administration payment for diventure.

Are you seeing any incremental demand from corporations that will wish to have a location in much less of an city setting or much less density? Is utilization any totally different within the Valley? And I suppose, how do you simply — how do you see these markets faring throughout the return to workplace relative to the west facet?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Properly, kind of that Encino, Sherman Oaks strip is doing effectively and it is at all times sort of comply with sample of the west facet. It stands. It is onerous to construct there. It is acquired actually excessive in housing close by.
It is acquired numerous facilities on Ventura Boulevard. The world’s that is a sort of lastly, and — I’ve mentioned that — I do not know if I mentioned it on name. You guys know that I spent like 15 years making excuses for Warner Heart at Hawaii. After which a number of years in the past, we stopped having to make excuses for Hawaii as a result of it got here again robust and mainly, Hawaii was in all probability one among our strongest markets throughout the pandemic.
And now lastly, lastly, there’s nice stuff taking place at Warner Heart. We saved getting hit with new provide of workplace, and that is — now we’re seeing multiple deal, like a number of offers of shifts of corporations on the market, whether or not it’s for studio house or taking huge plus — I imply, I do not suppose it is a secret that the ramps are put to in a apply discipline proper — actually proper subsequent to Warner Heart. We might be wanting down on the apply discipline that they are constructing. And in order that takes all that and cleans that up.
There’s one other mission that was workplace that I believe might be going to transform to residential. So that may clear that up. So there’s numerous — after which there’s — as I mentioned, there’s Amazon and a few others which are transferring their commitments to that space for very strong stuff, like studios rent lots of people, use lots of people proper round them. So it is simply been one good piece of stories after one other in that space.
So I am very optimistic. And by the best way, we have been saying for some time that the residential improvement in that space has been beautiful. And it is nonetheless going. When you go there, you will notice residential being constructed in every single place.
However now you are seeing all the opposite facilities, like numerous retail, extra retail — little retail facilities are being constructed. And then you definitely’re seeing the truth that some bigger customers, like I simply described, going on the market saying, that is the place our occasions, the place our gamers are, that is the place our coaches or that is the place the studio individuals at the moment are constructing their amenities on the market to be subsequent to their individuals. In order that’s all going to make an enormous distinction for us.

Operator
Our subsequent query comes from Wealthy Anderson from SMBC. Please go forward.
Wealthy Anderson — SMBC Nikko Securities — Analyst
Thanks. Good morning. So are you able to give some colour on the newest kind of cadence of tenant behaviors in L.A. space because it pertains to lease aid purposes and all that noise? And whether or not or not this can be closing in on the final time we have now to have this dialog, however simply curious what the newest observations are.
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Properly, we mentioned to you fairly some time in the past that our defaults to be lower than 2%. I believe at this level, we in all probability are already lower than 2%. And nonetheless, we’ll gather much more. So I am feeling fairly good.
We will gather an excellent majority of the cash that is owed to us. And the cash that is owed to us is right down to a a lot smaller quantity than it was. In order I mentioned — as I’ve mentioned and I will say proper now, I do not suppose the remainder of the collections are going to indicate up in any significant means within the numbers that we’re exhibiting you guys. I imply it is coming in at a — it is coming in or it has been put into new offers or regardless of the case has been, however it’s been vanishing quick.
So I do not suppose — I believe two huge issues. Primary, — effectively, there are three issues. Once we went into this recession and — into this pandemic, recession, there have been three huge impacts on Douglas Emmett. One was clearly the lack of occupancy, the lack of lease price, which we have been speaking so much about on this name, which we — I imply, we for certain turned that nook and we’re doing numerous leasing, and we have to simply retain that — these tenants.
The second was the hit we took in parking, which has been coming again. We had a really robust comeback for some time. Now lots of people are again, however that they had numerous must-take on their parking areas. They’re utilizing them now.
We’re seeing our parking heaps full. And I believe we’ll seize the remainder of that cash so long as the economic system retains going the best way it is going, in an affordable good — cheap timeframe. And the very last thing was the truth that you’ll have by no means imagined this, however the authorities advised individuals to not pay their lease. That was sort of craziness.
However — and a few most did, some did not. And even those that did not, at the moment are paying and paying again lease on some sort of packages or we’re making offers and we’re right down to a really — we’re not right down to huge numbers left of the place we have now to make offers with individuals or do one thing about with what they owe us. So all three of these metrics had been kind of the hits we took, are all again, heading in the best traction.
Wealthy Anderson — SMBC Nikko Securities — Analyst
I recall the owed lease was — I do not — I might need this fully improper, $50 million or $60 million. What’s that quantity now?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
We’re like nearer to half that. I believe $30 million or some…
Peter Seymour — Chief Monetary Officer
It is within the 30s.
Wealthy Anderson — SMBC Nikko Securities — Analyst
OK. Second query, you talked about we’re ready for the alternatives that inflation brings. I ponder what meaning by way of the alternatives? And particularly, is 12 21 such alternative, which means maybe the pool of individuals excited by shopping for it? It acquired smaller, you would do it, you had the cash to do it. Are these — is that what you imply by alternatives that you just stand out relative to the competitors to purchase stuff or possibly you would simply sort of make clear what kinds of alternatives come from an inflationary setting for you?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Two issues coming from inflation for actual property. The basic one is that it is like an ideal hedge towards inflation, proper? So actual property tends — as a result of it is a leveraged asset, actual property tends to early get hit with greater rates of interest. However then as issues settle down once more, you find yourself with like substantial progress in worth, which comes from the truth that rents are up and all the remainder of it’s up. And in order that’s one alternative that simply occurs, inflationary environments are likely to on the mid- to long term be an excellent actual property.
The second alternative is properties changing into out there. Folks there have sort of scooted together with very low leverage debt. Perhaps they’ve been operating the buildings to get the utmost money out of it. And now abruptly, the price of the leverage, not placing them in jeopardy of dropping their buildings, however the price of their leverage goes up they usually’re saying to themselves, wow, I must run my constructing higher to take care of the truth that my debt is costing me just a little extra.
Perhaps I am simply bored with this. And it simply highlights as soon as once more that possibly there’s a chance to get out of the constructing. nonetheless has numerous worth there and may convey some extra stuff on the market. That is what we’re hoping for.
Wealthy Anderson — SMBC Nikko Securities — Analyst
So was 12 21 tethered to the setting or is that why it got here free or possibly not?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
I believe 12 — effectively 12 21 was mainly — no, that wasn’t the trigger for 12 21. I believe 12 21, it wasn’t — the vendor did not really feel it was the best match. It was an excellent match for us, and we had been in a position to negotiate a deal that made all people blissful.
Wealthy Anderson — SMBC Nikko Securities — Analyst
OK. Ok. Thanks very a lot.

Are you able to discuss possibly the affect of these transactions on the leasing economics that you just quoted? And I suppose the second a part of that query is simply making an attempt to sort of reconcile same-store money revenues between final 12 months and this 12 months.
There looks like an even bigger delta possibly in the place you are gathering just a little bit extra on the money facet? So these two questions, please.

So like some those who weren’t paying us, are paying us now. And what we’re coping with is the half that they personal us. In order that’s going to make a giant distinction.
Is that what you are asking?
Peter Seymour — Chief Monetary Officer
That means that they are paying this month’s lease and persevering with to pay frequently. So then they’ve some quantity that they owe us from the previous — that is Peter. And so we’re working by way of with them the previous quantities. Once you had been speaking blend-and-extend, I imply, sometimes, what we do is we acknowledge the excellent stability and provide you with a cost program.
After which the brand new lease is a brand new lease that stands by itself at market charges.
Dave Rodgers — Robert W. Baird and Firm — Analyst
And I suppose to that final level, Peter, that is what you are actually sort of quoting from a money unfold. It is not likely reflecting sort of the upper lease and overdue collections in these numbers.
Peter Seymour — Chief Monetary Officer

Peter Seymour — Chief Monetary Officer
Leasing spreads are on the sequential quarterly increas. They are not on a decline.
Jamie Feldman — Financial institution of America Merrill Lynch — Analyst
No, I am saying, final quarter, I believe it was minus 9% money. This quarter, it was minus 3% money.
Peter Seymour — Chief Monetary Officer
Yeah.
Jamie Feldman — Financial institution of America Merrill Lynch — Analyst
I believe previously you mentioned…
Peter Seymour — Chief Monetary Officer
Sure. In order that they’re enhancing. Sure, they’re enhancing. In fact, that quantity is — that quantity tells you one thing, however I would not seize it too tight as a result of relying on what rolls in any specific quarter, that quantity can actually bounce round.
However typically, as issues get well, that quantity hopefully turns constructive once more. I believe, extra of what is mirrored even within the minus 9% on money, however — and the truth that the straight line is now up is, throughout the pandemic, you will bear in mind, Jamie, individuals saved asking, what’s taking place with rents, what has occurred with rents? And we mentioned, rents aren’t as far off as you may suppose. And actually, I am unsure rents fell off such an enormous quantity. They fell off, and we gave you the very best of what we might guess to these numbers, and that is what this can be a proxy for once you do roll up, roll down and all the remainder of it.
However they have not fallen. So all of those numbers since you’re doing — bear in mind, our leases have very huge bumps in them. So once you say ending money to beginning money, 3% distinction, that is one 12 months of progress. Past that, you are saying you continue to acquired your 4 years of progress that you just acquired from when that lease was signed.
In order that’s factor to inform you, hey, individuals are coming again and rents are usually not. I imply, it does not — rents are usually not going that meaningfully totally different. And we’re seeing that. You are seeing it.
Kevin Crummy — Chief Funding Officer
I believe the straight-line comparability provides you the overall worth of the lease, in comparison with the prior lease. And also you see these constructive spreads. We do not have numerous free lease anyway. So it is actually providing you with a fairly good measure of the change in worth of the lease.
Jamie Feldman — Financial institution of America Merrill Lynch — Analyst
OK. Sure, simply I am interested by your messaging during the last 12 months or so, and also you saved speaking about, effectively, if we are able to get to x occupancy within the portfolio, we are able to actually begin pushing rents. Has that modified?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Sure. No, no. I believe that it is one factor to push lease, it is one other factor to not lose floor on rents. And I simply do not suppose we have misplaced as a lot floor as you might need thought by way of that robust interval during the last two years, and now we simply must lease the portfolio.
However I can even say, whereas I am blissful that we aren’t dropping as a lot in rental price. The factor that we wish to is lease up the portfolio. That is the job.
Jamie Feldman — Financial institution of America Merrill Lynch — Analyst
OK. So it sounds just like the takeaway is it — it was undoubtedly a greater quarter. Perhaps it is not the pattern to suppose is — written stone for the — going ahead, however issues do really feel higher.
Stuart McElhinney — Vice President of Investor Relations
Sure. I do not — this one quarter, that is the curve, Jamie. Like I mentioned in my opening, it is — they are going to be uneven quarter to quarter. We’ll have — this quantity strikes round.
So much relies on — we have now such a mixture of leases that get signed within the quarter. So do not — sure, do not use this because the curve, going ahead. We’re blissful to enhance, however it’s not a clean crusing. There’s simply an excellent leasing quarter.
Now, I hope each quarter or the following quarters is that this good. However simply each restoration — no restoration occurs in a straight line.
Jamie Feldman — Financial institution of America Merrill Lynch — Analyst
OK. After which, do you’ve any updates on a few of your bigger expirations this 12 months or subsequent 12 months, simply by way of recognized move-outs that we did not find out about three months in the past?
Peter Seymour — Chief Monetary Officer
No, nothing noteworthy. I imply, we have now a fairly regular position. We at all times have a few of our bigger guys rolling out. So nothing that is nonetheless worthy.
Jamie Feldman — Financial institution of America Merrill Lynch — Analyst
OK, nice. Thanks.

Our subsequent query comes from Invoice Crow from Raymond James. Your line is open.
Invoice Crow — Raymond James — Analyst
Heah. Good morning on the market guys, and thanks for the time. That final dialogue truly led me into my two questions that I had. And the primary one is, Jordan, you talked about rents not likely happening, however do you see extra tenants leaving due to asking rents or lack of TIs? Or I suppose, is there any motive why — any commonality of the explanation why tenants do not renew?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Our renewal price has been fairly regular and it has been fairly good. As a matter of reality, already final 12 months, it was greater than regular. The rationale for the misplaced lease price has completely to do with the truth that the brand new tenants weren’t transferring round as a lot. In order that they had been transferring much less.
Now they’re transferring extra. Now we’re getting extra new tenants. That is why we — you guys have gotten targeted on that quantity. I imply, the explanation I mentioned it was such a spectacle quarter.
It is 300 — what’s is it? 330,000? That is like a incredible quarter. 330,000 is new. So if that new quantity is the important thing quantity to develop us again up, we have held regular, excellent on our renewal. And the brand new quantity can be signal in case you say what is going on on within the economic system, what is going on on with individuals going again to work, OK, you are going to see all that within the new quantity, the brand new leasing.
Peter Seymour — Chief Monetary Officer
Invoice, once we survey our tenants transferring out, there’s — clearly, in case you guess, there’s one million the explanation why tenants transfer out. They’re shrinking or they’re rising or they are going out of enterprise or they’re transferring market, one thing like that. And we’re simply getting the identical checklist of the explanation why guys are transferring out. There is no main shift in that.
It is nonetheless a giant unfold of various causes.
Invoice Crow — Raymond James — Analyst
Proper. No, that is useful. After which, Jordan, you simply talked about, you have a look at the brand new leasing and the facet of the native economic system. So the place are we relative to 2019, whether or not it is primarily based on new leasing or back-to-office charges or parking income, are we 50% again, 75% again of what we have misplaced? The place are you within the momentum scale?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Properly, in earnings, as a result of numerous the stuff we have carried out, we’re nearly catching as much as 2019, however we have carried out numerous new enterprise. So when the entire firm is as much as full tilt, we will be some fairly spectacular numbers. However we acquired to — look, you may’t ignore the truth that we’re nonetheless down nearly 600 foundation factors, and that is some huge cash. And as that recovers, it should make a large distinction.
I imply, half — the remainder of these — all different numbers will pale subsequent to that quantity. I imply — and what we hold — once I hold declaring, however it’s all across the fringes is — the excellent news is big new tenant exercise. Rents are nonetheless there and going robust. And each signal is that — and I hold saying so long as the economic system holds.
However each signal is that with this economic system, we’re on a extremely good trajectory.
Invoice Crow — Raymond James — Analyst
And you are not moving into political pushback otherwise you really feel higher concerning the total setting, I suppose, in the present day?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Properly, definitely, the environments enhance politically, by way of eradicating lease moratoriums and stuff like that. I am not — I imply I am not loving the politics, however that is not my No. 1 downside in the mean time.
Invoice Crow — Raymond James — Analyst
All proper. Pay attention, thanks for the time. Recognize it.

Our ultimate query comes from Daniel Ismail from Inexperienced Avenue. Your line is open.
Daniel Ismail — Inexperienced Avenue Advisors — Analyst
Nice. Thanks. Perhaps simply going again to the acquisition in Santa Monica. I am simply curious, is {that a} lease managed constructing? And if that’s the case, what number of items are presently effectively beneath market, in case you’re in a position to share that determine?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
A very good variety of them. However it’s a rent-controlled constructing, however I am unsure that lease management play as huge a job in that constructing because it has in different buildings. I imply a few of what’s occurred in that constructing is that rents have simply moved up in a short time. So even possibly offers that had been carried out throughout the pandemic or earlier are fairly far off the market of the place present rents are.
In order these roll, we’ll decide that up. That is why there’s such a significant unfold between the going-in cap and what I’d name the stabilized cap.
Daniel Ismail — Inexperienced Avenue Advisors — Analyst
Received it. After which, Jordan, respect the feedback on inflation and rates of interest. I am simply curious, have you ever guys observed any tangible value actions, both on the workplace or residential facet, by way of cap price actions resulting from rising charges?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
I do not suppose there’s been sufficient in the best way of transaction. I imply, this can be a phenomenon that, at finest, is few months outdated. So I am unsure there’s sufficient transactions to indicate that. The place the place there’s numerous transactions, the place I believe you are going to — you are seeing the world already decelerate because the money properties, single-family properties.
I believe that transfer in rates of interest is successfully — has in a short time slowed down the trajectory of pricing and transactions across the single-family house market.
Daniel Ismail — Inexperienced Avenue Advisors — Analyst
Received it. Thanks for the colour.
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
All proper.

We have now a follow-up query from Steve Sakwa from Evercore ISI. Please go forward.
Steve Sakwa — Evercore ISI — Analyst
Yeah. Thanks. Only a fast one. Jordan, I suppose there was a narrative or an article a few potential mansion tax in L.A.
that will actually go to fund homeless points. And I imply, the article reads is that if it is simply on housing that is over like $10 million. I simply wished to make sure that was really on housing and nothing on business.
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
Yeah, I believe that is a switch tax. So calling it a mansion tax is just a little little bit of a wierd title for it. I believe it is — identical to in lots of the cities, it is a switch tax that was proposed. And it must make it resulting from — individuals are sort of adverse on taxes proper now, and that is perhaps another factor.
And we do not have a look at all these items and see how you can battle these numerous issues. It is only a switch tax.
Steve Sakwa — Evercore ISI — Analyst
OK. However simply on single-family, not on both your kind of residential and positively not on business. Is that appropriate?
Jordan Kaplan — Chief Govt Officer
To my information, and I noticed what you ship me, which was so — which I think is simply extraordinarily deceptive, that article. To my information, it is only a switch tax. It simply — it does not matter if the home is industrial or anything. It is only a switch tax, proper? The way in which they described it within the article you despatched me, was so odd that — I have not heard of it there being one thing simply on mansions, despite the fact that that is the best way that newspaper occurred to explain that.
