Lessor Arrangements

We lease real estate properties, comprised primarily of office properties and data center shells, to third parties. These leases encompass all, or a portion, of properties, with various expiration dates. Our lease revenue is comprised of: fixed lease revenue, including contractual rent billings under leases recognized on a straight-line basis over lease terms and amortization of lease incentives and above- and below- market lease intangibles; and variable lease revenue, including tenant expense recoveries, lease termination revenue and other revenue from tenants that is not fixed under leases. The table below sets forth our composition of lease revenue recognized between fixed and variable lease revenue (in thousands):
For the Years Ended December 31,
Lease revenue (1) 2022 2021 2020
Fixed $ 453,907  $ 436,768  $ 404,244

(1)Excludes lease revenue from discontinued operations of which $1.5 million, $22.3 million and $21.3 million was fixed and $527,000, $8.2 million and $5.7 million was variable for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

A significant concentration of our lease revenue from continuing operations was earned from our largest tenant, the USG, including 37% in 2022, 36% in 2021 and 37% in 2020 of our total lease revenue, and 27% in 2022, 26% in 2021 and 27% in 2020 of our fixed lease revenue. Our lease revenue from the USG in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was earned primarily from properties in the Fort Meade/BW Corridor, Lackland Air Force Base and Northern Virginia Defense/IT (“NoVA Defense/IT”) reportable sub-segments (see Note 15).

As of December 31, 2022, our balance sheet included $39.2 million in right-of-use assets associated primarily with land leased from third parties underlying certain properties that we are operating. The land leases have long durations with remaining terms ranging from 26 years to 78 years (excluding extension options). As of December 31, 2022, our right-of-use assets included:

•$11.4 million for land in a business park in Huntsville, Alabama under 17 leases through our LW Redstone Company, LLC joint venture, with remaining terms ranging from 40 to 49 years and options to renew for an additional 25 years that were not included in the term used in determining the asset balance;

•$6.4 million for land underlying a parking garage in Baltimore, Maryland under a lease with a remaining term of 26 years and an option to renew for an additional 49 years that was included in the term used in determining the asset balance;
•$6.0 million for land in a research park in College Park, Maryland under four leases through our M Square Associates, LLC joint venture, all of the rent on which was previously paid. These leases had remaining terms ranging from 60 to 71 years;
•$3.6 million for data center space in Phoenix, Arizona with a remaining term of two years and an option to renew for an additional five years that were not included in the term used in determining the asset balance; and
