Our business consists of the ownership and operation of income-producing real estate properties in the greater Washington D.C. metro region. We own a portfolio of multifamily and commercial properties. During 2019, we acquired </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>eight</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> multifamily properties with a total of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>2,390</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> units and sold </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>eight</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> retail properties (see note </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">3</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">). The </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>eight</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> sold retail properties met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. The remaining retail properties do not meet the qualitative or quantitative criteria for a reportable segment (see note </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">14</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">). The acquisitions of multifamily properties and dispositions of retail properties are part of a strategic shift away from the retail sector to the multifamily sector. This strategic shift simplifies our portfolio to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>two</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> reportable segments (multifamily and office) and reduces our exposure to future retail lease expirations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">U.S. Federal Income Taxes</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We believe that we qualify as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and intend to continue to qualify as such. To maintain our status as a REIT, we are, among other things, required to distribute </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">90%</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of our REIT taxable income (which is, generally, our ordinary taxable income, with certain modifications), excluding any net capital gains and any deductions for dividends paid to our shareholders on an annual basis. When selling a property, we generally have the option of (a) reinvesting the sales proceeds of property sold, in a way that allows us to defer recognition of some or all taxable gain realized on the sale, (b) distributing gains to the shareholders with no tax to us or (c) treating net long-term capital gains as having been distributed to our shareholders, paying the tax on the gain deemed distributed and allocating the tax paid as a credit to our shareholders. During the three years ended </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, we sold our interests in the following
