[1] | The difference between our ownership interest of a venture’s equity and our investment balance at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, results principally from three types of transactions: (i) deferring a portion of the gains we recognize from a contribution of a real estate property to a venture ($667.7 million and $469.9 million, respectively); (ii) recording additional costs associated with our investment in a venture ($106.3 million and $124.1 million, respectively); and (iii) advances to a venture ($195.2 million and $166.1 million, respectively).
[2] | In July 2017, we contributed operating properties to USLF. We received cash proceeds and additional units, which increased our ownership interest in USLF to 27.1%. See Note 2 for more information on this transaction.
[3] | In April 2016, we redeemed a portion of our investment in PTELF and USLF for €185.0 million ($210.6 million) and $200.0 million, respectively. The amounts received for the redemptions were included in Return of Investment from Unconsolidated Entities in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Cash Flows.
[4] | In August 2017, we acquired our partner’s interest in certain joint ventures in Brazil. See Note 2 for more information on this acquisition. Included in the Other Americas’ balances are nine properties aggregating 2.8 million square feet associated with the remaining Brazil joint ventures.
[5] | In February 2017, we formed the Prologis UK Logistics Venture (“UKLV”), an unconsolidated co-investment venture in which we have a 15.0% ownership interest. UKLV will acquire land, develop buildings and operate and hold logistics real estate assets in the United Kingdom. Upon formation, we, along with our venture partner, committed £380.0 million ($508.9 million at September 30, 2017), of which our share is £57.0 million ($76.0 million at September 30, 2017). During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we contributed 1.4 million square feet of stabilized properties, 0.6 million square feet of properties under development and 144.8 acres of land for an aggregate price of £269.5 million ($336.4 million). We expect to continue to contribute properties and land into UKLV
[6] | In January 2017, we sold our investment in ELV to our fund partner for $84.3 million and ELV contributed its properties to PTELF in exchange for equity interests.
[7] | Represents our weighted average ownership interest in all co-investment ventures based on each entity’s contribution of total assets, before depreciation, net of other liabilities.
