(1) The difference between our ownership interest of the venture’s equity and our investment balance results principally from three types of transactions: (i) deferring a portion of the gains we recognize from a contribution of a property to the venture ($322.9 million, $139.6 million and $147.9 million at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively); (ii) recording additional costs associated with our investment in the venture; and (iii) advances to the venture.

 

(2) Represents our weighted average ownership interest in all co-investment ventures based on each entity’s contribution to total assets, before depreciation, net of other liabilities.

 

(3) We had significant activity with our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in 2014 and 2013. As described above, we formed and invested in FIBRA Prologis in June 2014. In connection with this transaction, we concluded our unconsolidated co-investment venture in Mexico. During 2013, we concluded three co-investment ventures and we started two new co-investment ventures.
