Beginning November 25, 2009, the blended interest rate on the loan that the company pays is 4.225%.

Developers said it has repaid over $270 million of mortgage debt with a weighted average duration of 1.2 years and an interest rate of approximately 6.2%. Additionally, since the end of the third quarter, the company has used retained cash flow and revolver availability to retire approximately $119 million of unsecured notes with a weighted average duration of 1.6 years and a yield to maturity of approximately 6.6%.
