As of December 31, 2013, FSP owned 39 office properties in 13 states, consisting of approximately 9.7 million rentable square feet. More specifically, approximately 70% of FSP’s owned portfolio (in square feet) is within our top five core markets. FSP’s portfolio was approximately 94.1% leased as of December 31, 2013. The principal revenue sources from our real estate operations include rental income from tenants who lease our office space, interest income from secured loans made on office properties and fee income from asset/property management.

The Company also continuously reviews and evaluates its real estate property portfolio for potentially advantageous dispositions.
